When I received the call from my mother, Curtis Irwin was coming out of the conference room with a lot of work on his hands.
“Curtis, can you come back here?”
Curtis Irwin heard his mother’s choked sob and walked toward the quieter hallway.
“Mom, is something wrong?”
“You’d better come back, I… I can’t say.”
Saying it over the phone is no more shocking than saying it in person; Irwin’s mother would not give her son time to think, much less allow him to make his own excuses for Isabel.
“Okay, I’ll book the tickets here.”
“No, it’s Beyoncé the home.”
“You’re here?” Curtis Irwin was surprised and the worry in his heart couldn’t help but increase, could it be something to do with Isabel?
“Well, when are you coming back?” Irwin’s mother changed the subject.
“Soon, you can wait for me at home.”
“Good, take care on the way, don’t be in a hurry.”
“Mmm.”
When his mother suddenly came home again, Curtis Irwin was afraid that their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would be unhappy again.
After going into the office to explain all his work, Curtis Irwin went to ask Matthew Grant for leave.
“Go ahead.”
Curtis Irwin was surprised at how nice Matthew Grant was, and President Grant had been especially lenient with him lately.
“Thank you, President Grant.”
Matthew Grant hmmed and looked at the computer screen with great concentration.
The screen was on a video call, and across the room was Blanca Roach, wearing the black cheongsam Winnie had sent him today, the slim brocade wrapped around her delicate, bumpy figure.
“Did that just be Curtis Irwin coming in for leave?”
Blanca Roach hears a door close on the other side of the video and that’s when she speaks.
Matthew Grant nodded, his eyes falling on the bulge in Blanca Roach’s belly, the corners of his lips involuntarily rising.
“Isabel went to check with Dr. Deandre today and I don’t know how it’s going, did Curtis Irwin say he took time off for anything?”
“No, he seems to be in a hurry, he rarely takes time off, maybe once a year.”
Matthew Grant said so, Blanca Roach got nervous: “It can’t be that something happened to Isabel, let her check out the results and let me know, now she hasn’t heard from me, no, I have to give her a call.”
Blanca Roach said the wind is rain, Matthew Grant was fascinated to look at his daughter-in-law, suddenly the video went black.
The other party ended the video call …
Matthew Grant blushed badly enough.
Beyoncé.
Isabel was sitting alone in the living room when the silence was suddenly broken by the ringing of her cell phone. Seeing that the caller was Blanca Roach, Isabel adjusted her voice to sound less out of place.
When the phone was picked up, Blanca Roach felt more at ease, “What are the results of the tests and how do you want to treat it?”
Blanca Roach’s question made Isabel want to cry, and Blanca was still thinking about her, so she tried to speak but got choked up.
“The deformity is more serious, and even if you get pregnant, it is easy to slip.”
When talking about this disease again, Isabel already sounded flat, as if she was talking about someone else’s disease.
“So… did it say how to cure it?”
“It’ll have to be surgery.”
Deandre said it wasn’t a major surgery, and that it was possible to have a child after recovering from the surgery.
But this is after promising his mother-in-law to divorce Curtis Irwin, leaving the hotel Isabel went back to the hospital to pick up the bill to know these things.
The disease is not incurable, but just needs an operation, if not treated to be infertility as a result.
I was angry at the doctor who misdiagnosed the problem, and at my mother-in-law who wanted to morally kidnap me for divorce.
After a half-day trip from the hospital to her home, Isabel changed her mindset.
She feels that her style of dealing with things may also need to be changed, otherwise she will always be bullied into the head.
