It really made me unpleasant.
I stopped, turning around, “Nova.”
She looked at me, eyes hidden behind the black sunglasses.
“Nova, Do you know why Dennis doesn’t even look at you even if you have been with Mario for 4 years?”
People said that you didn’t bite back when you were bitten by a dog. You’d better avoid the dog.
But why didn’t people kill it? The biting dog would hurt people sooner or later. Killing it was a wise choice.
What I said touched her sore point. She was irritated, “It’s none of your business!”
“Then of whose business? The man who you have a thing for is my husband, not others.” I didn’t care about how many women loved Dennis, but I couldn’t bear they vented anger on me.” Looking at her, I didn’t get angry. I said in a low voice, “You’d better know who you are. Girls need to be ambitious, not conceited. If you act without a moral baseline, even by hook or by crook, you will definitely ruin your life.”
Her thing for Dennis probably began at the dinner four years ago. After that dinner, she schemed and managed to be a secretary of Dennis.
But later she was sent to Mario because of my words. Nova was smart to suit her actions to the time. But it seemed this lady had many grudges against me.
She was so proud a girl that what I said must hurt her. Luckily I was accompanied by several bodyguards who stopped her from getting close.
I directly got into the lift. Looking at her wrathful appearance, I had to say she was so poor.
In the ward, Karina looked pathetically pale and gaunt. Seeing me, she tried hard to force a light smile.
“Feel better?” I wasn’t a talker. What I said didn’t help at all.
She nodded, tapping her bed to motion to me to sit. She said in a throaty voice, “I feel better, but still sore after anesthesia.”
I reached to hold her hand. The anesthetic was given from the caudal vertebra before delivering the baby. You didn’t feel pain when the drug worked, but the hurt was unforgettable all life once after anesthesia.
I knew that!
I rubbed her cold hands, trying to warm them. “Have you eaten something?”
She nodded, eyes getting wet. “The doctor told me to eat some conjee. I have had some.”
Looking at her, I hesitated before asking, “Is the baby okay?”
She slightly nodded, lips dry. “It’s still in the incubator. The baby needs placing in it for some days. Premature infants are weak.”
Hearing that, I breathed a sigh of relief. Smiling, I said, “That’s fine. Just take good care of it. My Clarie is also a premature baby. She was small and thin at that time, but now look at her, how energetic.”
She smiled, “My baby will also be fine!”
Seeing her lips dry, I stood up to get her some water. Holding a straw for her, I said, “Drink some water, or you might be dehydrated. Where are others?”
I had been here for some time, to see no other people show up, especially Leo who should have been here. He was really unreliable.
Drinking water made her lips better. She took a breath, sighing, “The servant had gone out for dinner. It’s undisturbed to stay on my own. Don’t worry.”
I didn’t ask about Leo, which could only make her sad.
After a while, I asked, “Have you given the baby a name? Is it a boy or a girl?”
“It’s a boy. I want Link to decide, so I haven’t given a name yet.” Just then two nurses came in for lochia discharge.
I stepped aside. The two nurses held her bending legs, pressing her belly.
She gritted her teeth against the pain, but tears had rolled down her face.
It lasted two minutes before the two nurses left. She became so weak. I repressed my emotions, tucking her in. I held her cold hand and didn’t know what to say.
Looking at me, she forced a smile, “It’s not that hurt. We overestimate it.”
She was comforting me. Feeling heartbreak, I lowered my eyes.
After a while, I said, “I also suffered that.” But all I was thinking about was my lost baby at that time, I didn’t notice much of the pain in my body.
Later Toby called me. I hesitated and answered the phone.
He seemed a little worried, “Clara, Dennis is having a meeting. The bodyguards have told me you came across Nova in the hospital. Could you please go with the bodyguards to another place?”
Frowning, I knew what he meant. Those reporters were trying all their means to find out where I was. Perhaps Nova had told them my whereabouts. After all, we quarreled just now.
In seconds, I replied, “All right.”
Saying my farewell, I went directly out of the ward. The bodyguards were standing at the door, looking anxious.
It was clear that Nova had informed the reporters where I was.
We had no sooner driven onto the road than being tailed. Some people in the car behind held their cameras to take photos of our car.
The bodyguards rolled up the car windows, but those reporters would never give up this chance.
Some even were so crazy that they overtook us to take photos right in front of our car.
Their actions would absolutely attract other drivers’ attention on the road, which might cause accidents.
The way we were driving was often stuck in a traffic jam, so we turned to another road in case of accidents.
The chase had attracted much attention. Our car was stopped before we got to the place Toby told us to go.
We were surrounded by a flock of reporters. The car couldn’t move at all.
The bodyguards also didn’t know what to do with it. They called Toby.
“None of you are getting off the car. Keep Clara safe. I go there now!” The speaker on the phone was turned on, so I could hear Toby.
The bodyguards had no choice but to wait for him.
Those reporters were trying all means to force us to get off.
The door was smashed heavily. Even the fanciest car couldn’t stand such crazy damage.
Everyone outside the car was shouting, which was terribly noisy. After a while, they began to abuse me.
I felt a headache and had tinnitus, which made me almost crazy.
My hands crossed hard, they began to bleed because of fingernails sinking into the skin.
