Azalea waited in the hospital for a long time, but Michael still did not come. So she called Michael to urge him.
No one answered the phone this time. Azalea then sent Michael a few dozen messages, but there was still no response from Michael.
Since he didn’t answer his calls or reply to the messages, there was no need to say that Michael was not coming to the hospital.
How dare he mess with her!
Azalea thought about how she had gotten up so early in the morning to prepare for it. Now that her hard work was to no avail, she was filled with hatred and smashed two vases.
The sound of the vases shattering woke up the child sleeping in the crib. The child was so scared that he burst into tears.
Azalea walked over to the baby’s crib in a rage and roared angrily at the crying child, “You only know how to cry! You’re useless! If I knew the situation would be the same after giving birth to you, I f*cking shouldn’t have kept you!”
As he felt his mother’s anger, the child cried even louder. Azalea shook the baby’s crib violently.
The baby was so scared that he cried till his voice became hoarse. His whole face turned blue as Azalea shook him. At this time, the door was pushed open.
Francis walked in quickly. Seeing Azalea like this, he quickly stepped forward to stop her. “What are you doing? He’s still so young. You’ll scare him!”
“He tricked me again! He said he would come to the hospital to see the child and me, but he hasn’t shown up yet.”
“Is that why you are being hysterical? Are you out of your mind?”
“I am out of my mind!” Azalea roared. “Ever since giving birth to the child, I have been putting on a show and bragging about how great our love is. But what’s the truth? Since the day I gave birth to the child, he hasn’t shown up. Our relationship is still the same as before. I hate this!”
Francis saw her menacing expression and tried to persuade her. “He is busy out of the city. Didn’t I tell you before?” “Can’t he come back even though he is away from the city? The real reason is he is not fond of this child because I am the mother. If Abbie were the one giving birth to it, he would come back even if he is abroad!”
“Enough! Stop your madness!”
“I can’t go on like this anymore! I really can’t!” Azalea screamed.
No matter how Francis tried to persuade her, it was useless. At this time, Frederick walked in quickly with his phone. “Mr. Gurney, Michael was in a car accident!”
Azalea, who was yelling, suddenly went silent. Francis was shocked as well. “When did this happen?”
“Just now. He was sent to the hospital unconscious. His assistant and the driver who picked him up were also in the accident.”
“What’s the situation like? Is it serious?” Francis asked again.
“He is unconscious currently.”
“Let’s go and take a look!” Francis immediately ordered Frederick.
Azalea stopped making a fuss. “I’ll go with you!”
“Don’t go. You should wait here for any news!”
“No, I have to go over and take a look! I haven’t seen him for such a long time!” Azalea insisted. Francis frowned and thought for a moment when he saw Azalea’s expression, but he didn’t refuse.
As Azalea behaved manically back then, Francis was worried she would have postpartum depression. It might do her good to let her visit Michael.
Abbie was sent to the mansion that Leonard had bought. When she arrived at the mansion, Leonard was already waiting.
When he saw Abbie enter, he immediately stood up from the couch and greeted her with open arms. “Welcome back!”
Abbie hated the thought of touching Leonard, but she had no choice. She suppressed her discomfort and hugged Leonard.
She didn’t want to hug Leonard, but he was happy with it. It felt different hugging Abbie from other women.
Other women were playthings to him, but Abbie was the woman he had decided to marry. She didn’t smell of cosmetics and did not deliberately try to please him. She was lively and bright like the sun. Because Leonard had been living in dark times for so long, he liked Abbie, who brought him the light.
The two of them sat on separate ends of the sofa in the living room. Leonard looked at Abbie gently. “You must be hungry? What would you like to eat?”
“All I can eat buffet!”
Having been stuck abroad for so long, Abbie certainly didn’t want to suffer when she came back.
“Okay, let’s go eat buffet.”
As Leonard stood up, he took out a hat and sunglasses and handed them to Abbie. Abbie didn’t take them. “I let Michael see my face. That was why he followed me. Since Michael has seen me, there’s no need to hide anymore. I’m tired of hiding.”
Leonard’s hand paused for a moment. “No wonder. But you still need to disguise yourself before meeting your brother and parents.”
Abbie unwillingly put on the sunglasses and went to the buffet restaurant with Leonard.
She ordered many plates of food. Leonard couldn’t eat that much. So after a few bites, he asked for dessert.
Abbie gobbled down her food happily. Seeing that Abbie ate so happily, Leonard’s smile widened. It seemed that Abbie had really forgotten Michael and no longer had any obsession with him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to eat after Michael’s accident.
After Leonard answered a phone call, he told Abbie, “I inquired about Michael. He’s fine. He only has flesh wounds.”
“Really? We let him get away too easily!”
“Azalea and Francis have already rushed to Michael’s ward. It is said that Azalea’s eyes are swollen from crying.”
“Haha! I’ll make her cry even more in the future.” Abbie didn’t want to talk about Azalea and Michael at all.
Leonard could see Abbie’s disgust, so he didn’t continue talking about Michael and Azalea. He changed the topic instead. “Abbie, I plan to meet your brother tonight.”
“So soon?”
“Don’t you want to see him?”
“I want to, but at the same time, I don’t.”
“What do you mean?”
“I want to because they are my only family in the world. They must be in distress because of me, and I don’t want them to feel so. But I don’t want to meet them because I have already forgotten about them. They are like strangers to me. I become more afraid as I get closer to them. I don’t know what to say or do when I meet them.”
Leonard was very satisfied with Abbie’s answer. “You don’t have to worry too much. Just let nature take its course!”
In the president’s office of Hattelo Group, Richard frowned and looked at his assistant. “Leonard asked me to meet him? Is there something wrong with him?”
“I’m pretty surprised too. But that guy’s assistant came to me in person and said that Leonard needs to meet you for something very important.”
“Something very important? I have never interacted with him. What important thing can there be?”
“The assistant insisted you meet with Leonard. He said that you would have a pleasant surprise then! Mr. Clark, are you going to meet him?”
“Let me think about it!” Richard felt that Leonard was deliberately mystifying the situation, but what good would it do for Leonard?
Leonard had attacked Thomas and was also a potential threat to Braelynn. Leonard still didn’t know Braelynn’s identity. That was why he asked to meet with Richard. So Richard thought he should still meet with Leonard to see what he was up to for Braelynn’s sake.
