Callie snapped back to reality and joked, “I will miss the food here, but it’s time to go.”
Jaquan, in his leisurely posture, said, “Callie, you are the best at burning bridges after crossing them.”
Callie smiled and replied, “It’s not easy to get any advantage from you.”
Jaquan’s gaze fell on her bag, which was empty when she arrived and naturally had nothing when she left.
He asked absentmindedly, “Where will you go after leaving Sky Pavilion?”
Callie raised an eyebrow, “First to the hospital for a follow-up.”
Jaquan had nothing more to say.
She wasn’t lying; she did go to the hospital. During her weakest days, she hadn’t taken good care of herself, and she was worried.
Fortunately, the follow-up results were good, and she was recovering well. Callie cautiously asked, “Doctor, in my condition, can I still have children?”
“What are you saying? You’re so young, of course you can.”
Callie finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Paucaster Villa, a man grabbed a teacup and smashed it against Bridger’s temple. He didn’t dodge, and blood flowed instantly.
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier! You should have told me from the beginning!”
Bridger endured the pain indifferently, “I don’t think I do anything wrong. In that situation, you couldn’t know these things.”
Nelson half-panted, one hand supporting himself on the table to keep from falling.
Callie had an ectopic pregnancy. He hadn’t even seen her once before the child was gone.
And she, stubborn as ever, didn’t make a single phone call.
“You cared too much about Callie. If you had lost your composure then, could Oconnor Group have turned the crisis around?” Bridger followed up.
After returning to Ylosea, Nelson searched everywhere for Callie but couldn’t find her. He called her, but no one answered. When he was about to locate her phone, Bridger came and told him everything.
It was almost an unbearable pain.
Even if it was an ectopic pregnancy, it was a life. Nelson couldn’t imagine Callie terminating the pregnancy in such a helpless state.
“Bridger, you’re making me look heartless!” With this matter, Callie might very well sign the divorce papers.
Nelson started to panic. When Oconnor Group was in trouble, he hadn’t been this anxious.
“I think Callie is smart enough to understand.”
“Did she sign?” Nelson looked up, his eyes bloodshot and filled with fear.
Bridger frowned and endured the pain, “Sign what? The divorce papers? No, Mollie stayed with Callie the whole time. Lucia did go to see her, but she didn’t sign.”
Nelson felt a wave of relief. No signature meant everything was still okay.
Bridger looked at Nelson’s expression and felt conflicted. He had hidden the fact that Callie had been in a car accident.
The timing and reasons for her accident were too delicate. If Nelson knew, he would never forgive himself. He shouldn’t bear this burden.
“Where is she?”
“That… I don’t know.”
In the end, they used location tracking.
Callie had just come out of her follow-up appointment when a black sports car stopped in front of her. The window slowly rolled down.
The wind blew Callie’s hair up, and she turned her head away.
Nelson finding her was only a matter of time.
He got out of the car and looked at her pale face. It took him great effort to say the first words, “… Does it still hurt?”
The person who was once so familiar now stood face to face with him for the first time feeling like a stranger.
