He panicked and he didn’t know whether to stay there that night or to just go and leave.
He tried so hard to think of what he could’ve done for her. He even thought of going inside and so something for her.
After witnessing that, Tom Parker couldn’t keep still. He was not himself and couldn’t focus on anything.
Sarah North, who was just assisted by their room servant to get out of the room, looked at the anxious Tom Parker. She walked slowly towards him then asked, “Why are you still awake?”
Tom Parker couldn’t hide anything from Sarah North. She knew very well that he was just trying to stay strong for the sake of the company. But his pain reflected on his face, and he couldn’t hide it from her.
“Are you all right?” Sarah North asked him. “You better go to the hospital! Your injury is worse than mine.” She suggested.
After everything that has happened between Sarah North and Tom Parker, she still loves him as her husband. Her action speaks for itself.
“I’m alright. I’ll just take my medicine.” Tom Parker said.
“Let’s not make the whole company worry. We also don’t need to worry so much when we go back to the Z City.” Sarah North comforted him.
“I’m just worried about Veronica Parker.” He uttered.
“If it had anything to do with you, Nick Cage would have come to us already. It’s none of your business now.” Sarah North said. “You go to your room now and lie down.”
Tom Parker reached out for her hand and said, “Please stay with me then.”
Of course, Sarah North was more than willing to stay beside Tom Parker. She would do that in a heartbeat.
Just when they entered the room, Tom Parker’s cell phone rang. He reached for his phone and was surprised when he figured who the caller was.
Sarah North looked at the unusual look on his face and asked, “Who is it?”
“Sarah, please go ahead. I’ll just take this call.” With that, Tom Parker turned and walked out of the room and answered the call, “Veronica, are you all right? I saw you go to the hospital that night. I remember I didn’t hurt you. I want to see you, but there were bodyguards in the hospital, so I couldn’t get in!” He explained with so much eagerness.
“I’m in the apartment. Come and visit if you want to see me.” The faint voice of Veronica Parker responded then hung up the phone.
The decision now depends on Tom Parker if he would go and visit her.
Sarah North came over and asked, “What does she want?”
“I don’t know. But I’m going to visit her to figure it all out.” He responded.
“Are you sure about this?” Sarah North was uncomfortable with his decision.
“It’s the only way for me to know what really happened.” Tom Parker explained.
“Why don’t you just stay here and rest? Ignore her for now to buy some time to think it over. Or just tell her you’re not feeling well and you can’t go!” Sarah North said.
Tom Parker stood there. But Sarah North figured his face says otherwise.
Back to Veronica Parker’s apartment, she reached for her phone that was on top of the coffee table. She remembered that she smashed the phone before leaving the hospital. Then she figured that Nick Cage already bought her a new one. It was that easy for him to replace it and buy a new one because he has a lot of money. Realizing that, she felt irritated again towards Nick Cage. And even if she decides to smash the new phone, Nick Cage will just buy a new one again. Everything seemed simple for him with all his wealth and power.
She felt upset again. She felt as if Nick Cage wanted to control her. Like he wants to buy her.
The more he treats her like that, the more she couldn’t get away from him. She felt trapped and there was no way to escape him.
She just wants her old life back. She’s longing for a simpler life. Not her current situation now which only makes her feel miserable. Veronica Parker felt as if her life wasn’t hers anymore, to begin with. If Nick Cage decides on everything, what would be her purpose then?
Amidst all the troubles and worries, Veronica Parker still sat there waiting for Tom Parker to show up.
She was so sure that he would show up to reconcile with her. Everything has to go as planned.
After all, no one would be interested in what they’re going to talk about.
She knew Nick Cage already had an idea about her whereabouts, but it doesn’t matter anymore.
She thought it would be easy to talk to Tom Parker rather than dealing with her miscarriage.
She doesn’t want Nick Cage to be involved with this when she knew he only wanted to caper with her body.
Veronica Parker looked at her watch and bracelet and thought it was absurd.
She took it off and threw them into the drawer. It somehow made her feel relieved.
Nick Cage was monitoring from the CCTV when he saw what Veronica Parker did. His calm and reserved face went ferocious.
No one gave her permission to take it off.
Veronica Parker was seated in the living room for about half an hour when someone knocked on the door.
She walked towards the door to see who it was.
She opened the door and saw Tom Parker and the maid who was standing on the opposite door.
“Come in!” Veronica Parker ignored the maid and invited Tom Parker inside.
She immediately closed the door as Tom Parker got in.
“Is this your first time here?” Veronica Parker asked, “This was Isabella’s house. I’ve always lived here”.
She sat on the sofa. Tom Parker was still standing close to the door while peculiarly looking at her.
“Are you afraid?” she asked him.
Tom Parker walked towards the sofa next to her and sat down, “Why should I be afraid?”
Veronica Parker smirked and said, “It’s true that people could lose their emotions when they did too many bad things in their life.”
“Why did you ask me here?” Tom Parker asked.
“You are not grandma’s son. I am not interested in the details but I just wanted to know how I ended up being your daughter?” she said.
“Who told you I wasn’t her son?”
Veronica Parker looked at him steadily, “Do you think I didn’t know? Grandma told me everything. Please don’t deny it”.
“I am her son!” Tom Parker said.
Veronica Parker thought he already accepted that he was adopted and stopped looking for answers on where he came from.
“Tell me everything you know and I’ll give you what you want,” she said.
“You didn’t help me to get the ownership of the land in the southwest, and you can’t even protect my company,” Tom Parker said as if he was up on the bet.
“Who told you I can’t help you? Did you see the woman on the opposite door? They were sent by Nick to take care of my needs. Dad, I can give you what you want or maybe make your life miserable. Do you think I can’t do that?” she said.
Tom Parker was displeased, “Veronica, aren’t you just relying on Nick?”
“I am. If it wasn’t for him, would you chase me for help?”
Tom Parker was speechless.
Veronica Parker was right. He always asked for her help because of Nick Cage until all his plans went out of control.
“Now, tell me. Who are my parents?” she asked.
“You know anyone could be destroyed on the internet, right?” He threatened her, “Did you cast around my office?”
“I did, and I know you can’t have children,” she said, “I also got the videos and destroyed the flash drive. You have nothing now. The card is on me!” she said.
