Michael left the Gurney family and went back to the Davis family. On the way, he called William. “I can see that Francis is tempted, but I don’t know if he will follow your plan.”
“He has to hold a family meeting to discuss such a big thing, so you just have to wait for the results.”
“Are you sure that the Gurney family will not object to this?” Michael asked.
“All of them have their own schemes. If they can make money during such a tense period, they’ll definitely be happy to see it happen I’m not sure about the others, but Casper will definitely support Francis.”
Casper was Evelyn’s eldest brother, and Michael had an intuition that William was playing tricks again. “What did you do? Did you plot against Casper?”
However, William refused to say anything, “Just complete your tasks and don’t ask so many questions. It’s not good for you to know too much.”
“You’re coming up with all kinds of excuses. By the way, I have something to tell you. I went to the detention centre to see Evelyn and she’s starting to listen to me. She wasn’t as reluctant as before when I went to see her, and she wanted her family to give her some tonics because she wanted to take care of her baby. Evelyn and her family think that the baby in her belly is yours, but I know it’s not. Can you tell us who’s the father?”
Michael was very curious, but William still didn’t tell him, “Why are you gossiping around like this? Just do your job well.”
Michael was upset when he saw that William refused to tell him anything. “Why do you have to keep me guessing again? You don’t show any sincerity in our cooperation. I’ll tell you everything and I didn’t hold anything back, but you’ve been hiding things from me.”
“Why do you need to know so much? Anyway, I’ll fulfil my promise to you.”
Michael just wanted to be with Abbie. After he heard William’s words, he sighed and said, “I got the news in the morning that Leonard, that b*stard, bought a pink diamond at an auction and he even asked a designer to design a wedding dress. Everything he does feels like a gunshot in my chest!”
“You have to endure it!” William said.
“I can handle everything else, but Abbie has been going to Leonard’s house every day for the past few days. Yesterday, she even brought Leonard’s daughter out to play. I’m burning with rage at the sight of it.”
“Haha!” William laughed when he heard this.
Could Michael bear it if knew that Abbie’s child was his daughter
Even if he could, William still couldn’t tell him the truth at this time. Michael muttered, “I remember that she didn’t like children, so why does she like Leonard’s child so much? What kind of drug did he even give her?”
When William ignored him, he sighed and suddenly glanced at the van beside him. Just then, he saw Abbie playing happily with a child with a smile on her face at the back seat.
Michael immediately hung up the phone and trailed behind them.
When they reached the hospital, Abbie got out of the car and took the child into the hospital with her nanny and a few bodyguards. Michael also stopped the car and followed them.
Abbie took the child to take a vaccine. While the bodyguards were waiting outside, Michael stood at the corner with mixed feelings.
He could clearly see that Abbie was holding the child throughout the whole process. She wasn’t putting up an act at all, but how could she like Leonard’s child so much?
Michael waited outside for more than ten minutes before Abbie came out with the child and the nanny.
The child’s eyes were filled with tears and she kept twitching her little nose sadly. She then hugged Abbie’s neck after she was coaxed softly, and her tears landed on Abbie’s expensive clothes. However, Abbie didn’t show the slightest bit of disdain as she kissed the child’s face. “Emma, be good! It won’t hurt anymore!”
Michael’s heart ached when he looked at how much Abbie liked Leonard’s child.
If he and Abbie’s child were still alive, would she also love them like this?
If the accident didn’t happen, he and Abbie wouldn’t be like strangers like this.
Michael watched as Abbie and all the helpers took the child back to the car. Then, he got in the car and drove behind them all the way to Leonard’s villa until he couldn’t follow them in. After that, he sat in the car and smoked for a long time.
After that, he saw Leonard entering the house happily with a large bouquet of roses.
Michael really wanted to get out of the car and snatch the bouquet of flowers from Leonard. He wanted nothing more than to completely crush it to ashes.
He tried his best to control himself and to stop himself from being impulsive.
After he chanted a few times, he suppressed his impulses and watched Leonard enter the villa.
Michael did not know what was going on in the villa, so he lit a cigarette and smoked it in annoyance.
After he smoked two cigarettes in a row, he saw Abbie and Leonard coming out with the child in their arms. Then, the two of them went to the garden while they talked and laughed.
Michael felt as if his heart was being stomped on as he watched both of them disappear from his sight with the child in their arms.
He sent a message to William. “I saw Leonard and Abbie taking his child to the garden. Abbie smiled at Leonard so sweetly and she likes his child so much. I don’t think there’s any hope left for me, I’m so sad!”
“Don’t do anything stupid and leave right now!”
“There’s no way for me to keep my sanity after this. William, you know how much I love Abbie and I even have the urge to kill Leonard now. My life isn’t worth living anymore!”
“Michael, go home immediately! If my plan is ruined after Leonard finds out that you appeared in front of his house, you will never get to be with Abbie ever again. I swear!”
“I don’t believe that I can still be with Abbie. I’ve never been so depressed before!”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Abbie would have been dead if it weren’t for Leonard. Shouldn’t you f*cking thank him? No matter what his purpose is, he saved Abbie and you have to thank him for letting her live!” Michael knew that William was right. Leonard was the one who saved Abbie, so Michael should rightfully thank him. But he was full of hatred and despair when he thought of the purpose why Leonard saved Abbie. “You don’t understand my despair and it’s better if I die right now!”
William didn’t understand Michael’s feelings, but he could imagine how the latter felt. “Michael, I’ve been friends with you for many years. Have I ever gone back on my words? Think carefully about what I’ve promised you before. Is there anything that I haven’t fulfilled?”
Michael felt that it was very difficult for William to do this. Since Abbie had lost her memory, how could William have the ability to restore her memory?
William wasn’t a superhero of any sort, so Michael felt that it was almost impossible for Abbie to regain her memory. “I’m very dejected right now and this is different from other things! I’ve already lost my confidence and courage, I just want to die!”
William looked at Michael’s message and started to get angry, “I’m very busy and I don’t have time to deal with how miserable you are. I’ll give you ten minutes to leave Leonard’s house immediately! Otherwise, the deal between us will be over immediately!”
Michael knew that William was not joking when he read the threatening message, so he tried to overcome his heartache and started the car.
