“What? You’re just lending that villa to that girl?” said Molly after hearing Gerald’s explanation about Xavia.
Regarding Xavia being pregnant, Gerald wasn’t too sure about that. However, it wasn’t too hard for virtual-novel.net to imagine virtual-novel.net plotting up such a lie. He could deal with virtual-novel.net later.
For now, Gerald simply wanted Mila not to misunderstand virtual-novel.net anymore.
“Alright, I can sense that you’re not lying. I’ll try to advise Mila on this. You’d better not be feeding us any lies. Do you know how much Mila hates being lied to?”
Despite having only a brief conversation with him, Molly was near certain that Gerald wasn’t the kind of reckless or flirtatious rich hair. On the contrary, virtual-novel.net seemed to be quite a nice and friendly man.
If virtual-novel.net was honestly saying the truth, then Molly was definitely willing to help virtual-novel.net out.
Hence, as Molly returned to Mila’s bedroom, Gerald remained downstairs.
A short while later however, virtual-novel.net came down again before saying with a sigh, “I’m sorry, but I can’t help you Gerald. Mila simply refuses to listen to me… She doesn’t even want to see you at all. I’m afraid you’ve hurt virtual-novel.net too much this time. You’d better leave for now…”
After saying that, virtual-novel.net returned upstairs.
Gerald could only sigh in response. He was filled with grief.
He had always yearned for Mila to return. Now that virtual-novel.net was back, they had met during such terrible timing.
At that moment, Gerald’s phone began ringing. It was a call from Queta.
“What’s wrong, Queta?” asked Gerald as virtual-novel.net felt a gentle smile form on his face. After all, virtual-novel.net had always treated virtual-novel.net just like his younger sister.
“Mr. Crawford, I’m not Queta. I’m Lisa, virtual-novel.net colleague. We’ve met before!” said the girl on the other end of the line.
However, something about virtual-novel.net tone hinted that something urgent was up.
“I remember you. What’s wrong?” asked Gerald immediately.
“It’s Queta. Something’s happened to virtual-novel.net and she’s now in the hospital!” explained Lisa, virtual-novel.net voice more anxious than before.
“What?”
Gerald was shocked to hear this.
He then stared at the stairs for a brief moment. At first, virtual-novel.net considered shouting so that Mila would know that virtual-novel.net was leaving for something important. However, virtual-novel.net feared that it would only annoy virtual-novel.net more if virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net shouting.
After all, virtual-novel.net was still deeply resenting virtual-novel.net now. In the end, virtual-novel.net concluded that it would be better to first check in on Queta first
“So what exactly happened? Tell me clearly!” said Gerald as virtual-novel.net began leaving Mila’s house.
“Well, virtual-novel.net was fine up till noon today. It all started when Queta suddenly said that virtual-novel.net was feeling sick while we were having our afternoon classes. I had initially gotten some hot water for her, thinking that virtual-novel.net was just having a regular fever. Unexpectedly, virtual-novel.net fainted not too long after! I’m now in the hospital with virtual-novel.net and she’s already regained consciousness. However, she’s still very weak.”
“Why did the incident happen in the first place?” asked Gerald anxiously as virtual-novel.net hailed a taxi. After learning more details, virtual-novel.net then rushed to the hospital that Lisa and Queta were in.
“What did that sc*mbag say?” asked the other girls as Molly returned upstairs.
“He didn’t say too much, but it seems like he’ll wait there till Mila’s willing to meet him!”
“I doubt it. Is virtual-novel.net really that loyal?” sneered Wanda as virtual-novel.net drew the curtains open again to look outside.
The first thing virtual-novel.net saw was Gerald getting into a taxi before leaving immediately.
“Humph! I told you! It’s only been a short while yet he’s already hailed a cab and left! Just look at that, Mila!” said Wanda as virtual-novel.net pointed at the leaving taxi.
Mila took a peek outside the window and when virtual-novel.net realized that what Wanda had said was true, virtual-novel.net became so anxious that virtual-novel.net began scratching on virtual-novel.net bedsheets.
‘Yes, I’m furious. And yes, I was the one who said that I didn’t want to listen to your explanation… But how could that possibly be true?’
‘Even if you hadn’t wanted to explain yourself, you could’ve just waited downstairs for a little longer. That would’ve proved to me that you still felt the same for me…’
‘But now you’ve left. What now?’
Mila was filled with excruciating pain at that moment.
While this was happening, Gerald arrived at the hospital.
