“The child is alright, but her leg… It’s very badly injured.”
Francis apologized to Michael after he finished his explanation. “Michael, we didn’t expect this to happen either, so I’ll apologize on Evelyn’s behalf.”
Michael ignored Francis’s apology and asked, “Is the injury of her leg very serious? How severe is her injury?”
“I don’t know the details, but I only know that her leg is injured. They said that her leg was crushed at first, but they later said that she was bleeding and a lot of blood was taken into the operating theatre. I don’t know what’s going on now.”
Michael frowned. He didn’t feel sorry for Azalea’s injury and he didn’t care about her life at all.
He just felt a little regretful. After all, his plan had been going on so well. The bastard child in Azalea’s stomach could not be harmed, or else all of his efforts would go to waste.
Francis thought that Michael was frowning out of worry for Azalea, so he said, “I don’t have many connections here. Michael, you know a lot of people, so why don’t you ask several experts to come here?”
Michael frowned and thought for a moment. The only person he could contact was William, so he took out his mobile phone and dialled William’s number. “Azalea had a car accident and she’s in the hospital now. Her situation is very critical, so can you do me a favour and ask your father-in-law to arrange a few doctors to help her?”
William frowned and sighed slightly when he heard Michael’s words because he didn’t quite understand what Michael was doing. Michael obviously had no feelings for Azalea, but he still chose to be involved in her matters. Furthermore, there would be a lot of trouble in the future since Azalea was pregnant now. Michael really destroyed his reputation just to get back at Wayne and Meadow.
Since Azalea was pregnant with Michael’s child, it was possible that he had feelings for the child. William didn’t tell Michael anything else and said in a low voice instead, “Got it! I’ll call him now!”
William called Archer to arrange for an expert to operate on Azalea. Valeria pouted with an unhappy expression on his face. “What are you doing? Why did you help that scumbag?”
“Dear, it’s still a human life. Although Azalea is a piece of trash, she is pregnant with Michae’s child. I’m not helping for Azalea’s sake, but for the child.”
“But Abbie will never come back and she was pregnant as well.”
“It’s two different things. The child is innocent after all.”
“That’s enough, don’t give me any more explanations. I told you to cut ties with that scumbag, but you keep going against me. I’m in a bad mood now and I’m very angry because of you. You can sleep on the sofa tonight and I’ll start a cold war with you now!”
William had no choice but to be driven out by Valeria. Not only that, but Bobby also made sarcastic remarks when he saw this.
“Sir, you’d better not meddle in other people’s business in the future. I suggest you turn off your phone when you come back at night to avoid this from happening again. Otherwise, you won’t just get kicked out in the future.”
William glared at Bobby. “Get lost!”
Azalea’s operation was over before the doctor arranged by the Saunders family arrived.
Francis was even more anxious than Michael when the nurse wheeled out Azalea, who was unconscious. He was the first to come forward and ask, “How’s her situation now? Is the child okay?”
“The operation has been completed. It was a little risky, but it’s a success. The child is fine now. The patient has lost too much blood, so she needs to take a good rest.”
Francis heaved a sigh of relief, but Michael did not ask anything. Instead, he watched coldly as the nurse pushed Azalea into the ward.
Francis took the initiative to ask about the compensation and treatment when he saw Michael’s cold expression. “I will pay all the costs and I will also compensate Miss Clark for the accident. What do you think, Michael?”
Michael responded faintly and raised his wrist to look at his watch. “It’s getting late. I have something to do, so I’ll take my leave first. Sir, you should go home as well. Let’s talk about it tomorrow!”
He left without even staying behind to look at Azalea, which showed how indifferent his feelings for her were.
Francis paused for a moment and felt a little sympathy for Azalea. He could not help but ask, “Aren’t you going to visit Miss Clark?”
“I’m not a doctor, so what’s the point in doing that? Besides, I just asked someone to call a doctor. I need to give an explanation for forcing the doctor to come to work so late at night, right?”
Michael directly left after saying that, which made Francis and Frederick glance at each other. “How can he leave just like that? Does this mean that he doesn’t intend to hold Evelyn accountable?”
“It seems that way.”
“This… this is too heartless of him, isn’t it? No matter what, Azalea is his partner… and she’s pregnant with his child. He just doesn’t care about her…”
“Michael said that he was going to call a specialist over.” Frederick did not think much of the situation. “He just asked William to call a doctor. Now that the doctor is already here, Michael has to at least give the doctor an explanation or treat him to a meal.”
“That’s true, but he’s too heartless towards Azalea. I noticed that he wasn’t nervous during the operation at all, and he was very calm as if he had nothing to do with her. He just called a doctor over because Azalea is pregnant. I don’t even know whether it’s a good thing for her to be pregnant right now.”
“Everyone’s motives are different, so perhaps this is what Azalea wants.” Frederick smiled.
“That’s right, what’s wrong with me? Why am I being so sentimental?” Francis reached up and rubbed his brows. “Let’s go and have a look! We can’t ignore Azalea because Evelyn was the one who caused all of this. You can arrange for a nurse to take care of Azalea, and we’ll need to come to the hospital to visit her during this period of time. Evelyn has gone too far this time, why hasn’t she shown up yet?!”
They entered Azalea’s ward as they spoke and saw the nurse setting Azalea’s injured leg.
Azalea’s broken leg was tightly wrapped and only her soles were exposed.
Francis and Frederick saw Azalea’s sole as soon as they entered the room. Just then, Francis immediately noticed a huge red birthmark about two centimetres long on her sole.
His eyes suddenly widened in shock as soon as he saw the birthmark.
