Elena Bush didn’t say a word, she just coldly turned her face the other way.
Dr Thomas saw that the atmosphere between the two was a bit weird, so he couldn’t help but step forward and cross between them, “Mr. Ford, Miss Elena has just stabilized her emotions and may have moved her fetus, so please go out first, I’ll give her a checkup and prescribe some fetus medicine.”
Edward Ford looked at him suspiciously.
Dr Thomas smiled warmly, “Mr Ford, I’ve been the Ford’s doctor for so many years, I’ve seen all the major and minor illnesses, and now, there’s no need to lie to you.”
After a moment of stalemate, Edward Ford relaxed his guard after all, “Alright.” He lifted his hand and said, “Get out of here and let him examine Elena before he makes any plans.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, all the people who had been gathered in a large group left at once.
Elena Bush sat on the bed, her arms clasped tightly, her eyes wary.
Dr Thomas smiled and gave a calm look, “Don’t be afraid, I won’t do anything to you.”
“Just a moment ago, you tried to kill my child, and I don’t really believe your words ……”
“Hahahaha.”
Dr Thomas let out a low laugh, “You’re alert, but don’t you forget that I just helped you just now.”
“You helped me?”
Elena Bush gave him a disbelieving look, “The extent of your help was just one more word, and it’s all up to me whether I believe you or not, whether I want to listen to your words or not, so are you helping me? Or do I help you?”
Dr Thomas froze, not expecting the little woman who had been in such a weak state to be so eloquent.
Elena Bush bit her lower lip, her face rather unpleasant, “You’ve got the people out of the way, so what do you want to do by staying here?”
“If I don’t stay, how can I see such a side of you?”
Elena Bush’s face was cold, “So it seems that you are thinking of making a joke of me.”
“You’ve wronged me, I’ve never had any such thoughts.” Dr Thomas looked innocent.
Elena Bush got up and put on her shoes, Dr Thomas looked at her behaviour and wondered, “What do you want to do?”
Without a word, Elena Bush pushed open the bedroom door and said, “Dr Thomas, isn’t it? I think you’re talking too much and being too noisy, so …… could I trouble you to get out of here now?”
“No!”
Dr Thomas immediately stepped forward and closed the door in front of her, then pressed her back onto the bed, “I’m a doctor, you’re a patient, I have a reason to look after you.”
“I don’t need to!”
“Are you sure?” He glanced at her and then at the spot on the bed where she had just slept.
Elena Bush looked along, only then realising that her dressing gown had somehow been stained a dark red, and unease swept up her chest after her.
“I ……”
“Don’t panic, it’s nothing serious, I’ll just give you some medicine.” Dr Thomas patted her on the shoulder, sweeping away her unease.
Elena Bush looked at him firmly with tightly bitten lips, “I can’t let anything happen to him, never!”
“I know.” Dr Thomas nodded, “Don’t get so emotional these days, relax, think about everything, and when you’re in a good mood, the baby in your belly will naturally be healthy too.”
The little woman’s hands clenched, trembling beyond her control.
Terror swept through her whole body.
She had managed to compromise everything for herself, so she couldn’t afford to lose the rest ……
“Wait, don’t rush it.” Dr Thomas looked at her and immediately panicked, “I am the worst at seeing women’s tears, what am I going to do if you cry?”
Besides, if Edward Ford knew that he had made her cry, he would probably lecture him.
Elena Bush listened to his words and gave him a stern look, “I’m not going to cry!”
“That’s a good point, didn’t you just cry too?” Dr Thomas whispered.
Elena Bush puffed out her face, “I was just lying to him.”
“Lying to him?”
Elena Bush didn’t answer, she just looked at him and suddenly spoke, “Dr Thomas, I’m sure you’re not the same person as Edward Ford, so, will you help me?”
“Me? How can I help?”
Dr Thomas had a flash of panic, “Just to be clear, I will help you keep your baby, but if it’s to let you go and help you with anything else, I won’t do anything.”
As a family doctor, he treated many of Edward Ford’s women, many of whom were in exactly the same situation as Elena Bush.
So, as much as he felt sorry for her, he would not use his own prospects as the price for helping her.
“It’s simple, I won’t make it hard for you!” Elena Bush said as she clasped his hand.
Dr Thomas, half-hearted, couldn’t help but say,”Then say what you need me to do, and I’ll have to apologise if I can’t.”
“Thanks! You can definitely help!” Elena Bush said gleefully, quickly stating her request, “I just need a calling card and that’s all I need, other than that, I don’t want anything.”
“A calling card?”
Dr Thomas was not sure what she wanted, “What can you do with it? Contact your lover?”
Elena Bush pressed her lips together, “That’s up to me, but, this is something you can definitely help with, so you’re the only one I can turn to.”
There was no one else she could ask for while trapped in the Ford.
Dr Thomas hesitated for a moment, but couldn’t help but wonder, “If I help you, Edward Ford won’t let me off the hook if he finds out.”
“It’s just a phone card, he won’t know, and besides, if it comes out, it won’t have anything to do with you.”
“That may not be the case.”
Elena Bush suddenly let go of her hand, “In the end, you’re still not willing to help.”
“No, and don’t rush it, I didn’t say I wouldn’t help did I?” He pressed up again, “Actually, I happen to have a scrap card on hand, so it’s not impossible to give it to you.”
“What do you want?” She looked up at him, and it was clear without guessing that no one would help her for no reason.
With that, she took the diamond ring off her ring finger without a second thought, “It’s all I have right now and it’s all I can give you ……”
Dr Thomas looked at her look and the corner of his mouth twitched, “You think I’m in it for the money?”
“If not, why are you?”
Dr Thomas got a little angry and cut to the chase,”I’m a doctor! It’s naturally my responsibility to protect your child, but of course, I need to consider your mood!”
Elena Bush’s gaze lurched, obviously not expecting him to spit out these words, so she froze for a moment.
