“Ma’am!” Ah Feng rushed in. Only when he entered, he could sense that the atmosphere was not right. After seeing Zoey’s red and swollen cheeks, he sucked in a breath and hurriedly stabilized the overbearing Mrs. Zhan, “Ma’am, let’s talk things out, Secretary Baker is still injured and covered in wounds.”
“Is that so?” Mrs. Zhan then noticed that her face really didn’t look too good, but she only calmed down for a moment, and then, hatefully, said even more vicious words, “This is her retribution! If anything happens to my son, she can’t escape either!”
Zoey blanched slightly. Was this retribution for himself? Maybe it was! Five years ago, should not betray Chuck, only then and Jerry’s entanglement, only after that, by his intention to take away the company, only then in this life can not once again be a mother …
If this is all retribution, she wants to ask God if it’s enough? It’s really enough!
She tried her best to calm down her emotions and looked at Mrs. Zhan, “I’m sorry, I’m a bit tired, please leave!”
Mrs. Zhan held in the heart of the fire, has not yet subsided, a moment is more by her this attitude provoked more, and want to pounce on want to teach her a lesson, but was Afeng a stop, “Mrs., don’t be like this! Baker secretary just miscarried … the child is the president’s!”
Zoey lies down, stiffening slightly.
Mrs. Zhan was also shocked for a moment, looking at Ah Feng, then at Zoey . Her face wavered, but only for a moment, but she replaced it with that acerbic sneer, “Hmph! A woman like her who doesn’t know how to behave, who knows whose wild seed she is with, and use it to hold it over our Jerry’s head!”
Zoey’s body, chilled, for a moment, stiffens even more.
Even the veins are frozen …
“Ma’am! Don’t say a word. Let’s go out first and check on the president, maybe he’s awake now.” Ah Feng stopped Mrs. Zhan from saying more. Turning to go out, he glanced apologetically at Zoey .
But Zoey had closed her eyes quietly.
Afon didn’t ignore the crystals that flickered on her trembling eyelashes. That half of her face that had been slapped was getting redder and swollen.
In my heart, it was difficult to feel uneasy for a moment. Walking out of the hospital room, gently bring the door, or look back. But, in the end did not say anything.
“Why are you stopping me? I’m not even smooth with this anger yet!” Mrs. Zhan snapped at Ah Feng as soon as she came out.
Ah Feng lowered his head, “Mrs. Zhan, as you know, the president has gotten the shares of the Baker family, and has now become the largest shareholder of the Baker family.”
“Uh-huh. I’ve heard.”
“There’s more you don’t know. When Secretary Baker was pregnant with the baby, the president … insisted that she get rid of it.”
Mrs. Zhan obviously didn’t expect her son to be like this. Although he didn’t like children, he was definitely not a person who was cruel enough to kill his own flesh and blood. A trace of surprise flashed under her eyes, and in the next second, she laughed coldly, ”The decision he made was a wise one! Who knows what kind of child born from that kind of person who doesn’t know how to behave will be like! Besides …”
She paused for a moment, sadness gathering in her eyes, “If we do have it, what’s going to happen to Chuck?”
Ah Feng glanced at Mrs. Zhan, “Secretary Baker, because she couldn’t stand the double layer of blows from the company and the removal of the child, after a big fight with Mr. Xiao, she rushed out and then let the truck hit her … The child was lost, and the doctor even said … She can’t get pregnant naturally in this life.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhan’s face shifted, and a faint crack appeared in her just now icy and acerbic demeanor. Although she hated that woman from the bottom of her heart, but as a woman, she naturally knew the pain of not being able to become a mother. Moreover, she is still so young, has not married, has not given birth to a child …
“Ma’am?” Feng called out suspiciously when he saw that she suddenly stopped walking.
Only then did Mrs. Zhan come back to her senses, coughed softly uncomfortably, straightened the hair at her temples, and purposely made a stern face, “Since she can’t get pregnant naturally, it’s just a matter of doing IVF in the future. She didn’t pay attention to herself and crashed into the truck, do you still want to blame it on our Jerry? Nowadays, technology is so advanced, there will always be a child.” .
It was only when the voices of Mrs. Zhan and Ah Feng disappeared into her ears that Zoey finally slowly lifted her eyes. Tears had already soaked the pillow.
Until now, I still can’t forget Jerry Xiao’s determination and ruthlessness when he insisted on getting rid of the baby. It was like a nightmare enveloping her, pulling every nerve in her body. You can imagine how much he hated her and annoyed her, so he could be so desperate that he didn’t even let go of the child that belonged to him.
Going forward, even if she could do it, she thought … she’d never have another child …
In this lifetime, there will never be another person in her life who can make her willingly go through IVF …
The Last Child, Gone and Gone …
At the bottom of her heart, a chill welled up. She wrapped herself tightly. Closing her eyes, she tried to put herself to sleep, but her mind went back and forth to the figure of a man.
Jerry Xiao …
Even Mrs. Zhan had come, and at this moment, his situation, must be terrible.
Zoey didn’t want to keep him in her heart. After all, it’s all in the past. Love dispersed, only hate remained. But, when it came back to her, she had barely managed to sit up from the bed. Bending over, with difficulty, she felt for the crutches at the foot of the bed, which she supported, barely moving her steps.
Every step, it hurt. The hurt in her leg, the pain in her lower body, all made her walk like she was walking on sharp nails, and one step hurt more than the next.
She didn’t know where he was now, so she could only catch the nurse and ask. It was not easy to ask clearly, took the elevator downstairs, the whole person is already like to be deflated.
When they arrived at the emergency room, they saw Mrs. Zhan, Ah Feng, and Zac White anxiously guarding the outside, all of them were worried, walking back and forth outside the clinic, as if there was a fight to the death going on inside, which gripped the hearts of these people.
It also pulled Zoey’s heart deeply. She didn’t dare to get closer, and when she saw Mrs. Zhan inadvertently looking this way, she whirled around and hurriedly hid in the corner. Perhaps it was because she was too powerless, or perhaps it was because the person in the clinic was so close to her at the moment, separated by a door and a few meters of distance – her hand holding the cane couldn’t help but tremble.
The whole of his back was pressed right up against the wall, as if using it to support his body, which was about to fall.
“Mubai, have you gotten in touch with the British side? How is the situation now?” She heard Mrs. Zhan asking.
“Already contacted. Don’t worry, Jerry has already greeted that side personally, and now the hospital is ready to admit him, just waiting for him to go over.”
He, who is going to England for treatment?
That’s good too! Medical facilities and research in the UK are always better than at home.
I do not know how long I have been standing here, the door of the consultation room, suddenly opened. She almost trembled, wanting to go up, remembering something, her footsteps hastily stopped, only to watch from afar as the doctor walked out.
“Doctor, how is the situation?” Mrs. Zhan took the fastest step and rushed up, grabbing the doctor’s hand as soon as she could.
“The patient is still in a coma and there is nothing we can do but send him to the ICU at this time. Please contact a reputable international hospital to transfer the patient immediately, we won’t be able to admit any more patients after 24 hours.” The doctor’s words were all heartless.
Hospitals often turn away patients with life-threatening conditions to avoid disputes. Realizing this, Zoey stood there weak-kneed, unable to take a step.
PiT …
In the consulting room, a bed was rolled out. Her eyes had long since blurred and she couldn’t see the face clearly, but the tearing still gripped her heart. In her mind, what floated out was the nightmare she had last time. At this moment, he is exactly the same as he was in the dream …
“God, Jerry … my good son, you do not scare mom …” Mrs. Zhan pounced on, hooting and crying, completely without the image of the past.
Zac White and Afon also lowered their eyes and followed along. The doctor’s face was serious as he pulled the lady along, “Ma’am, please don’t touch him. A small movement can trigger the disease at any time.”
The doctor’s words immediately silenced Mrs. Zhan, retracting her hands. As if she was afraid that her voice had disturbed him, for a moment, even her cries were curbed, and she only covered her mouth and looked at Jerry Xiao with tears streaming down her face, following him as he was pushed all the way to the intensive care unit.
Looking at the figure, little by little disappeared in their eyes, Zoey along the cold wall, slowly crouched down. Hand, trembling to cover the mouth, but the sound of crying is still constantly overflowing.
“Secretary Baker?” I don’t know, how long I’ve been crying, but Feng’s voice rings overhead.
She did not raise her head, still squatting there, unable to even dry her tears. Ah Feng then bent down slightly and handed a clean hitherto towards her, “Wipe your tears.”
“Thanks, no.” She waved her hand, rejecting his kindness. Fingertips, all pale.
“Secretary Baker, let me take you back to your hospital room.” Feng pursed his lips, and there was clearly intolerance in the bottom of his eyes.
Zoey didn’t make a sound, just braced herself against the wall and barely got up. Still not responding to Feng’s words, she only subconsciously probed and looked in one direction. The message of worry conveyed in those tearful eyes was more than obvious.
Afon sighed, ”The president is not doing well, but it’s better to advise Secretary Baker not to go over there. Not to mention that Madam is still there and will definitely not let you see the president. Also, the doctor said that the president can’t be stimulated even a little bit more right now, he can’t even have mood swings. So …”
Afon paused and looked at Zoey , before solemnly requesting, “I hope Secretary Baker stays out of sight for a while.”
Undoubtedly, her appearance would only stimulate his emotions even more. The reason why it had deteriorated to such a state this time was also due to the drastic stimulation. So, it really couldn’t be risked again.
Zoey didn’t say anything and dragged her sick body towards the elevator. When Feng saw how she was shaking, he tried to help her, but Zoey shrank her hand and refused his kindness again.
Her wariness of him was obvious. Afon’s hand hung in the air, a trace of remorse crossing his face, still he followed her into the elevator. “I’ll be fine, you don’t have to follow me.” Zoey only glanced at him through the polished elevator wall.
“Sorry.” Feng said suddenly.
Zoey just felt the tip of her nose tingle, and that one “sorry” said so much.
“From the beginning, you knew he was only after the shares I held?” She asked softly, trying to calm herself as much as possible, but her weak voice still trembled slightly.
Ah Feng’s tone was a bit heavy, “All the information of Baker family, it was me who was checking. the time when Baker family fell into a major crisis, it just so happened that I found out that you had enough shares in your hand.”
Him, honestly and openly. That, perhaps, would make him feel better inside.
