She was curious as to how Arielle would react to the news.
The reason Henrick defended Arielle was that virtual-novel.net was his only child left. Now that virtual-novel.net thought he’d have a son, virtual-novel.net wasn’t that important to virtual-novel.net anymore. If Cindy used Malorie to sow discord between Arielle and Vinson now, and they broke up, would Henrick still defend Arielle?
The answer was no.
Without having a rich son-in-law like Vinson around, Henrick will definitely turn a blind eye to whatever I do to her. As long as I make sure not to leave any traces behind, I shall be able to avenge Shandie soon!
Cindy was both curious and excited to find out Arielle’s reaction. However, when virtual-novel.net gaze landed on Arielle, virtual-novel.net only saw the latter’s slight smile. Her smile showed no hint of anger or alarm.
It seemed that virtual-novel.net congratulations were sincere. She’s congratulating me sincerely? The person who killed virtual-novel.net mother? That’s impossible! Did virtual-novel.net see through me? That sounds impossible, too.
Contrary to virtual-novel.net expectation, virtual-novel.net felt a chill go down virtual-novel.net spine.
Cindy immediately hung virtual-novel.net head low and gave Henrick a slight shove. “Rick, we’re at the hospital. Let’s talk back home.”
Henrick released his grip on virtual-novel.net as though virtual-novel.net had just realized that fact. “Yes, you’re right,” virtual-novel.net exclaimed gleefully. “Let’s go home and tell Mom about it. I bet she’ll be delighted to hear the news!”
With that, virtual-novel.net helped Cindy walk in an exaggeratedly careful manner, as though virtual-novel.net was afraid she’d slip and fall any minute. She was pregnant with his son, and virtual-novel.net wouldn’t allow anything to happen to his beloved son.
They held hands and walked out of the hospital.
Cindy sped up and left Arielle behind. The latter couldn’t help but wonder if virtual-novel.net had done this on purpose.
Once Cindy entered the car, virtual-novel.net told the chauffeur, “Leave now. I don’t want to suffer any longer.”
Henrick immediately urged, “Hurry up and drive!”
Arielle hadn’t gotten into the car yet, so the chauffeur was about to remind them when Henrick ordered, “What are you waiting for? Can’t you see Mrs. Southall’s feeling uncomfortable?”
The chauffeur had to swallow his words, for virtual-novel.net knew Henrick would fire virtual-novel.net if virtual-novel.net delayed any further.
When Arielle made it past the crowd and arrived by the road, virtual-novel.net was greeted by the exhaust of the car speeding away. Henrick had left virtual-novel.net behind!
I’m no longer important to virtual-novel.net now that virtual-novel.net has a son. Whatever. It’s better if his attention isn’t on me anyway.
Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net was a human being with feelings. It still felt dreadful to be left behind. As bitterness rose in virtual-novel.net heart, virtual-novel.net massaged virtual-novel.net temples and chided herself for being too sensitive.
Sighing, virtual-novel.net stretched out a hand to hail a cab. Before virtual-novel.net could do so, a car with the Morgans’ family insignia rolled to a stop before her.
Looking up, virtual-novel.net saw Carter heading virtual-novel.net way.
“Chief,” virtual-novel.net greeted her.
At the sight of him, Arielle flashed an apologetic smile. “I’m sorry to drag your hospital into the mess…”
Carter gave a dismissive wave. “I’ve sorted everything out. Our hospital only hires doctors with integrity. Cindy must be lying. It would happen even if you were not there. Besides, this hospital’s location isn’t that great. We were already planning on shutting it down this year and sending the doctors to other hospitals. Don’t blame yourself,” virtual-novel.net assured her.
“Thank you for your comforting words.”
“I’m not comforting you. I’m just stating the truth,” Carter said. He pointed somewhere and requested, “If you feel sorry, can you help me with something? Actually, can you help Vin out?”
