William left the Howard family’s mansion and asked Bobby to send him to Richard’s company to meet him.
On the way, Jaxon called. “William, Leonard went to the hospital yesterday at night in the States and stayed there until eight o’clock this morning. I went to the hospital in person to check on the situation.
The patient lived in a very private ward, and there were bodyguards standing guard outside. No one could go near it except for the doctors and nurses.
I talked to a nurse and got her to reveal some information. The patient is an American woman. She is young and beautiful, and also pregnant.”
“So it’s Leonard’s girlfriend who’s sick? What kind of illness does she have?” William asked.
“I think so. The nurse said that the woman had a headache and had no other symptoms. Because they couldn’t find out what caused it, the doctor gave her a shot to stop the pain. The woman has been sleeping all this time. Just now, Leonard took his assistant to the hospital again.”
Jaxon took a deep breath before continuing. “He brought some flowers in his hands and hasn’t come out until now. I guess the woman should have woken up?”
William pondered for a moment. If the pregnant woman was Leonard’s girlfriend, wouldn’t Leonard be too careful and secretive?
Why was he afraid of others knowing his girlfriend’s situation? Was it because he had done too many bad things and was afraid that someone would hurt his girlfriend?
Leonard was cruel and merciless, and so far, he had no soft spots. Judging from his strict protection of that woman, this pregnant woman should be Leonard’s weakness. William ordered Jaxon, “Find a way to let the nurse take photos of the woman and find out her identity.”
“Sir, that won’t work. I’ve already tried it. The nurse told me that they were forbidden to bring phones or other devices with a camera function into the ward. The bodyguards at the door will search them before they enter the ward.”
“Leonard is indeed cunning. Does this mean that finding out that woman’s identity is nearly impossible? Is there no other way?”
“I’ll try my best!”
“Okay, think of something and give it a try! If you have any news, let me know.”
Bobby, who was driving, said after William hung up, “Master William, since Leonard is protecting that woman like that, should we do something harsh? Could we just deal with the bodyguards, take that woman away, and see how Leonard reacts?”
“Leonard has done bad things, but his girlfriend is innocent, not to mention that she is pregnant. We can’t act rashly without knowing who that woman is, so as not to hurt the innocent. Let’s wait for news from Jaxon first.”
Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of Richard’s company as William got out of the car and strode into the company’s building. Along the way, security guards and staff stopped to greet him respectfully when they saw him.
William arrived in Richard’s office without any hindrance. It hadn’t been long since Richard had arrived at the company, and when he saw William enter, he immediately ordered his secretary to serve him tea.
“What brings you here? Did something happen?”
“Yes. Congratulations, Mr. Clark, for having a son last night!” William said with a smile.
Richard was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted. “What? How can she have given birth? The baby’s only a few months old!”
“She was tortured by that b*stard Gurmisran and had an early delivery. She bled a lot. Fortunately, the child was saved, but Angel lost her uterus!”
“This… this is too much, isn’t it?” Richard was very surprised. The secretary sent the tea in and left before Richard asked again, “What’s done is done now. Are you going to stop?”
“We still have to wait for Ornard to negotiate with you with hope, right? That old man and Veronica are vicious, and letting them die is being too easy on them. I feel that we should fool around with them some more. We have to give them hope, then make them go through disappointment again. We should have to cut their flesh with a blunt knife and let them feel the pain slowly. We’ll let them feel it to the extreme!”
“You really don’t mind the trouble, do you? If it were me, I would have already killed him!” Richard shook his head and said, “Okay, just say what you want me to do. You’re the boss now. I have to listen to you even if I don’t want to. Otherwise, your sister Braelynn will kill me.”
William burst into laughter. “Are you whining?”
“I wouldn’t dare. I’ve captured the heart of such a beautiful, rich, and talented woman. I don’t even have time to thank the Gods properly yet. But we haven’t made any further progress and it’s hurting my pride. William, can you give me some pointers? I can’t go on like this while you get to have all the fun, right?”
“Do you think I’ll give you pointers on how to deal with my sister? Are you out of your mind?” William asked.
“Okay, forget what I said!”
William chuckled when he saw Richard’s aggrieved expression. “Alright, it’s very easy with Braelynn. Just get married!”
“Do you think I don’t want to? She hasn’t said yes yet and is still testing me. Valeria didn’t have you go through any tests and you already have two sons. Do I look like some bad guy who needs to be tested? Do you know that whenever she goes to meet her clients every day and those stinky men would stare at her? I want to dig their eyeballs out so badly!”
“You’re overprotective, aren’t you? I told you to restrain yourself a little. Even if Braelynn marries you in the future, she won’t be a housewife who stays at home all day. She has the ability to manage the company.”
“I hope she can stay at home. It’s safer this way!”
“That’s impossible! I didn’t know you were such a person in the past!” William looked at Richard with a faint smile. “I am hesitant to let you continue going after Braelynn since you’re this overprotective. After all, I don’t want a jealous brother-in-law.”
“What do you mean? You know that you can’t simply wreck a wedding, don’t you?”
“Calm down! Today, I’m here to discuss how to deal with Ornard, not to break up your marriage. Why are you so anxious?” Seeing Richard’s anxious look, William laughed. Richard also felt a little embarrassed and laughed along with him.
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Angel finally woke up after eight hours of being in a coma. Her abdomen hurt so much that she let out a faint groan.
Madelyn was sitting on the sofa playing with her phone, and when she heard Angel’s cry, she put down her phone and walked to the bedside. “Miss, you’re awake?”
“It hurts… it hurts…” Angel continued to cry out in pain.
“It’s normal to feel pain. How can you not feel pain after going through a surgery like that?” Madelyn looked concerned, but her words were vicious. “You don’t even have a uterus now. Miss, it really is a pity!”
“What?” Hearing this, Angel forgot the pain and stared blankly in Madelyn’s direction.
Madelyn repeated with a victorious sense of revenge, “Last night, you were sent to the doctor after bleeding non-stop. The doctor said that your condition was not good, and your uterus was broken, which was dangerous. He performed surgery on you overnight and removed your broken uterus.”
Angel widened her eyes for a few seconds before screaming in a hoarse voice, “Ah!”
