Fearing that it would disturb her, he hurriedly reached out and brought it over. Not even bothering to look at the screen, he took it quickly.
“Zoey , where are you?” On the other end, it was Owen Baker’s anxious voice.
“Is something wrong with the baby?” Zoey’s heart twisted as she subconsciously thought of the baby.
So much so that, unnoticed, the man lying on her lap stiffened slightly.
“Nini suddenly fainted! She is now being taken to the ICU!”
“What?!” Zoey could barely hold onto her phone.
“Zoey, don’t panic! Mom and Dad are here to keep watch, it’s going to be fine. Where are you now? I’m coming to get you!”
Zoey hurriedly gave the address, her voice already choked. After disconnecting the phone, the palm of his hand was appallingly cold.
Nini has not been in good health since she was a child, but this has never happened before!
Zoey bent her head to see that he was still awake, and could not bear to wake him up, so she could only get a pillow and put it carefully behind his head.
Get up and get anxious just to go.
But his wrist was suddenly dragged by Jerry Xiao.
He’s awake?
“No walking!” He likes it now! At least, at this moment, he doesn’t want her to leave him for her boyfriend!
“I’m sorry, Jerry, I have to go now!” Her eyes were red with anxiety as she pulled her hand out of his grasp.
Looking at the empty palm of his hand, Jerry Xiao’s brow tightened.
Does she really care that much about that person? Even though she just had an attack of her old illness, she refused to stay?
“I’m hungry, you go to dinner with me!” He surprisingly played a rascal and re-dragged her hand.
“Sorry, I really can’t today. Is it okay to order a take-out? I have something really, really important to do right now!” She pleaded sincerely.
Nini must be scared without her around, and KK must be terrified too! Thinking about this, she was even more restless.
His expression, the more gloomy and indistinguishable.
The hand that was dragging her got harder and harder. Suddenly and desperately, he pulled her toward the door, “Get out!”
He gritted his teeth, almost word for word, and his voice was incredibly clear and cold, “Zoey Baker, in the future, if I have a seizure and you ever mind me again, I’ll make you look good!”
Without waiting for her to explain anything, only to hear a “bang-“, he heavily threw the door shut.
Halfway care, he does not care! Once something happens to his real boyfriend, he will just be dumped to the side too! So, why even pretend to care about himself and let him fall for it?
Looking at the closed door, Zoey only felt helpless and painful.
His headache had only eased a little, and she shouldn’t have left him at this point. What if he had another attack? But …
Her Nini is still so small, can’t live without her …
Looking down, biting her lip, Zoey fished out the number she hadn’t dialed in five years in her phone. It was ringing!
“Who?” There, in a low tone, clearly in a bad mood.
“It’s me.”
“Zoey Baker?! Why did you turn Jerry’s phone off! I’m warning you …”
“He’s sick and home alone. If you’re free, come over and see him now.” Sunny Qin’s seizure words were gently interrupted by Zoey.
“What is your … intention?” Sunny Qin did not shake for a moment.
Zoey didn’t answer, just disconnected the call. The thought that he would be lying in the arms of another woman in a few moments, a sourness rushed upward in his heart.
But, who is she to feel bad?
Sunny Qin is his girlfriend and she should be the one who is qualified to take care of him!
Jerry Xiao stepped on the floor with his bare feet, trying to ignore the sudden coldness in the air.
The door, was knocked gently from outside. He didn’t turn around, only to hear Zoey’s voice ringing out with apology, “I just called Sunny, she’ll be here soon.”
Too much control!
Jerry Xiao frowned in disgust, his thin lips tightly pursed, not ever responding.
…
When Owen Baker came to the curb to pick Zoey up, he saw her in male clothes and lost in thought and he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.
“What’s going on? Why did you come here?” While asking, he wrapped her hand in his own and rubbed it painfully, “You’re wearing so little, you’re freezing, right?”
“I’m fine.” Zoey shook her head gently. There were so many things that had happened tonight that there was no way to tell them in a few words.
“Brother, how is Nini doing? What’s going on?” Her eyes reddened at the mention of her poor daughter.
“Don’t you worry about it yet. Get in the car and I’ll drive you to the hospital.”
She sniffled and anxiously got into the car.
…
The clubhouse is a stunning sight.
Under the ambiguous neon, Zac White has a beautiful woman in one arm, the other hand holding a glass of wine squinting at his brother, see him once again a drink, not good enough to kick him: “Hey, hey, hey, drink enough? The headache is not yet relieved, drink less.”
Jerry Xiao just pretended not to hear him, so Zac White pushed the woman in his arms, “Go go go, take them all out. Come back and get the money.”
“Okay, Mr. Yung. Don’t forget us sisters next time.” The woman delicately touched a handful of Zac White’s sexy chest before leading the crowd out of the box with fondness.
All of a sudden, only a pair of brothers were left in the box.
Zac White sat down next to Jerry Xiao with a glass of wine and looked at him, “And why did you get yourself drunk like that?”
“It’s okay.”
“Ch, so many years of brotherhood, how can you still hide it from me? It’s not Nabi Yan again, is it?”
Jerry Xiao narrowed his eyes, and Zac White scolded, “No contest! That dead girl sold herself for that little money, do you think you still miss her so much?”
“Who says I’m doing it for her?” Jerry Xiao countered Zac White’s words, staring intently into his glass for a moment before hearing Zac White ask with interest, “Have you fallen in love all over again?”
Falling in love?
He sneered, “Is that possible?”
The first time he asked, Zac White also thought it was impossible. After all, Nabi Yan’s payment was too hurtful for him, and Jerry is too defensive to open his heart to another woman so quickly.
“And what exactly is this for?”
“Just thinking about how to take down the Baker family,” Jerry Xiao said as he threw himself into the large couch, the neon light passing under those deep eyes, his eyes half-squinted like a hunter.
Zac White had expected him to make a move back home, so he wasn’t surprised by his words. He just took a sip of wine and looked at him, “You really want to get the Baker family?
” The Baker family owes me so much, I have no reason to let them off the hook.” He moved to look at Zac White, “Guess who my new secretary is this time back.”
“Don’t sell it.” Zac White has never had the patience to guess riddles.
“Zoey Baker,” Jerry Xiao still couldn’t help but think of the warmth she had given him. However, he knew better than to indulge in those at all!
Zac White froze for a moment.
“Why is she in your company?” Isn’t this a self-imposed trap? Or does … she have another agenda?
“Since she broke into the cage, it doesn’t make sense for me to leave the cage door open. Against the Baker family, later, maybe she’ll be useful.”
Jerry Xiao’s eyes were sharpened, and he looked like a wolf, and Zac White felt a cold sweat coming on.
Really for Zoey Baker that little girl pinch a cold sweat. The sunny road does not go, but has to drive to the road of death.
…
When Zoey rushed over, Yami Hu was sitting outside the ICU in tears, and Sam Baker was walking anxiously up and down the hospital corridor.
KK was pitifully lying on the glass window, her little face flattened by the glass.
“Dad, Mom! What’s going on with Nini?” Zoey looked at Nini from afar, her heart in her throat, hating that she couldn’t bear everything for her daughter.
Yami Hu choked and cried: “The doctor said it is a genetic disease … international rare WIID disease … Zoey , our family does not have a history of this disease … … what kind of sin is this …”
“Genetic disease? WIID?” Zoey had never heard of the term. Zoey had never heard of this unfamiliar term. did Nini’s disease come from him? He had a seizure tonight and it’s the same disease?
When I think of how calm he was when he put the word ‘death’ on his lips, Zoey just felt cold in her hands and feet.
Owen Baker held Zoey steady and softly reassured her, “WIID is a case of neurological deficiency of the brain. Don’t worry, the doctor said Nini is still in a stable condition. I’ve asked someone abroad to find an authoritative professor in this field, and it will help.”
……
Late at night, Nini was still lying in the intensive care unit, unconscious. Wearing a hospital gown, her eyes are gently closed, and she looks so fragile in the dim light that she seems to be going to disappear in the next moment.
Zoey let the two elders of the family go back first. No matter how to persuade her, KK refused to leave, and just sat outside the cold room with Zoey.
“Stupid Zoey, don’t cry …” KK stretched out her small white hand to wipe Zoey’s tears for her.
The more soothing this is, the harder Zoey’s heart gets. Held KK firmly, “It’s Mommy’s uselessness that makes you suffer …”
KK was buried in Zoey’s arms, shaking her little head. After a long time, she only asked sullenly, “Zoey, does bad daddy also have Nini’s disease?”
Zoey was silent for a while before she let out a soft ‘mmm’. Usually KK almost never mentions ‘daddy’, this time she was obviously shocked by Nini’s condition.
“Then daddy must be as hard as Nini …” KK muttered, and suddenly looked up at Zoey , “Zoey , daddy without us, what to do when you are sick? ”
The child’s words pierced Zoey’s heart like a needle.
It was just hard to think about the big empty house tonight and the uncomfortable way he looked when he had an attack.
But still stroked the child’s head and comforted, “Don’t worry, even without us, Daddy has others to take care of.”
Sunny Qin, should be beside him at this moment!
Even though he was hungover from last night’s drinks, Jerry Xiao arrived at work on time the next morning.
Pressing the intercom, he ordered, “Get me a cup of coffee.”
“Yes, President.”
Jerry Xiao was so focused on the stock market that he didn’t look up. He just took a sip with his hand, but it was hot.
Slight frown.
“It wasn’t Secretary Baker who flushed it?” I have to say, Zoey Baker is always the most meticulous in her work. Even if it was just a cup of coffee, she would find a way to get it to just the right temperature before serving it up.
“Secretary Baker called early this morning and took a leave of absence, saying that a family member was sick.” The other party hurried to answer.
Jerry Xiao’s face went black.
Family member sick? I think it’s the boyfriend who is sick!
“Got it, go out first!” He waved his hand and dropped the paper in his hand.
Last night, Zoey’s panicked, worried look after receiving that phone call came uncontrollably to his mind and still disturbs him.
Thanks to him, he thought she gave him some warmth!
