Love in the dark Chapter 42
Laurence was very efficient. In the evening, he made an appointment for Zoey at a private hospital owned by the Scott family for the following day. She didn’t even need to line up or wait for her turn to undergo surgery.Zoey thought she’d be going alone. Unexpectedly, Laurence pushed back his work for the day and drove her to the hospital himself.When they stopped at a red light, Laurence tapped his thumbs and asked casually, “Did you bring your medical records?”“Yes.” Zoey turned her head in the passenger seat and looked out the car window silently.“What about the previous health check reports?” Laurence asked meticulously.Zoey had torn all her past medical reports to pieces and tossed them down the drain. She said after a slight pause, “I forgot where I put them.”“It’s alright. You can just do another health check today.”“Sure, Mr. Scott,” Zoey replied detachedly as if she was doing something that didn’t concern her.…The moment Zoey stepped into the hospital, the smell of di

Mrs. Scott, suppressing her anger, cut Laurence off without giving him a chance to speak. "Dr. Zahn told me she saw you and Zoey at the hospital."Laurence hadn't planned on his mother finding out about this matter. Since he could no longer hide it from her, there was no point feigning ignorance."Yeah.""Are you at the obstetrics and gynecology department?""Why bother asking me if you already know?"Mrs. Scott was livid. Laurence had been very opinionated since he was young, and no one could change his mind. She hurriedly asked the driver to rush to the hospital, not knowing that Zoey was already in the operating room. "Is Zoey pregnant?"The more Laurence kept quiet, the more she was sure of her assumption. She recalled that Zoey almost vomited when they had dinner together a few days ago.She felt elated; she'd been hoping for the two of them to have kids of their own. "How can you not tell me something so important? I can't believe I found out from someone else instead. You shou

“This has nothing to do with her,” said Laurence. After a slight pause, he added, “We’re both not mature enough to handle raising a child. She shouldn’t be bogged down with a child at this age. Mother, please respect our wishes.”Mrs. Scott was powerless against her son. There was nothing she could do even if she was raging mad.“You’re hopeless. I’m done talking to you.”The light above the operating room dimmed, and out came the doctor.“She just needs some rest. She can be discharged after some observation.”That meant the surgery had been successful, and the child was no more. Mrs. Scott’s eyes reddened; she’d just found out about the existence of her grandchild, and now the child was gone. Everybody envied her because she had a good son who wasn’t a worthless rich heir or an underachieving loser. He’d become the head of their family at a young age and was the youngest amongst the leaders of the affluent families of Northwell. Being as capable and decisive as he was, he’d grasped

The cries coming from the ward were heartbreaking. The sadness that she’d suppressed was released bit by bit as she cried her heart out. Zoey wasn’t as strong as she appeared on the surface; she just didn't want to cry so pitifully in front of Laurence.Laurence’s body stiffened a little. Zoey’s suppressed sobs caused his eyes to redden a little in response. It wasn't until the crying gradually stopped that Laurence opened the door again, holding the lunch sent from the hotel in his hand. “You should have some food first.”Zoey’s voice was extremely hoarse, and her eyes were clearly more swollen now. Her hand was still attached to an IV drip. She looked thin and feeble.Laurence helped her set up the small table on the bed. “I'll feed you.”Zoey didn’t want to accept any gesture of kindness from him anymore. She lowered her head, her hair pressed against her cheek from the cold and sweat. Pursing her lips, she replied, “No need.”She stretched out her hand, but Laurence pushed it back

Laurence was obviously lying. He didn’t even bother to be more sincere when deceiving others. Even so, when Zoey heard him say he liked her, her heart still thumped hopelessly and violently. The next moment, she immediately understood from his carefree demeanor that he wasn’t being serious at all.Zoey calmed down. She didn’t have much energy left after the surgery, “Laurence, I don’t need a vacation.”She just wanted to quit, clear her mind, and stop indulging in her feelings for him.Laurence was unexpectedly patient with her. “If you don’t want to take three months off, let’s make it one month. Don’t say that I, the capitalist, am exploiting you again.”She couldn’t understand why he refused to let her go. Her position as his secretary wasn’t so important to the extent that she was irreplaceable. Others could easily replace her at any time.“I...”“Don’t be presumptuous, Miss Jenner. The personal secretary position isn’t something anyone can fill in casually.”Zoey felt that she was

Zoey avoided the topic, and Arielle didn’t press on. The latter started to gossip about Laurence instead. “Is it true that men can separate love from sex?”Zoey didn’t know much, but from her experience with Laurence, he seemed to be able to easily withdraw himself after satisfying his physical needs.Consoling herself, Zoey thought optimistically, “It’s okay. I took advantage of him too.”Arielle was worried about her condition. “Are you okay?”“I’m okay. I just feel a little tired. I’ll be fine after resting for a day or two,” Zoey replied to reassure her.Arielle scolded Sarah and Laurence on the phone ceaselessly until she came to a conclusion. “All men are untrustworthy and unreliable, especially those whose hearts are made of ice.”Zoey agreed, “You’re right. “When Arielle found out Zoey would continue to work beside Laurence, she felt aggrieved for her friend. “Are you sure you still want to stay by his side?”Zoey was silent for a few seconds. “I can’t help it.”The monthly me

Over the years, Laurence rarely experienced such a vast fluctuation in his mood. He endured it for some time, but in the end, he couldn’t hold back.Pinching her wrist hard, the veins on his hand popped, and his already tense expression became even more contorted. “Are you fucking saying it’s my fault for making you eat?”He seemed really angry. His eyes burned with fury, and Zoey felt like her wrist was about to break.She flung his hand away expressionlessly and said, “Fine. It’s my fault.”Laurence stared into her eyes. The fire in his heart raged on even more intensely. The words that came from her mouth dealt heavy blows to his heart like a hammer. He wasn’t good at managing his anger and would return the favor tenfold if he was even slightly unhappy.This time, however, he put a lid on his anger.“Forget it. Why am I blowing my top over this when she’s in this state?” he thought.Laurence gradually calmed down and pressed back the emotions that shouldn’t have appeared. He regaine

Zoey didn’t feel like answering his silly question.She lifted the blanket from her body but was pressed back into the sofa as soon as she stood up.The setting sun's light shone on Laurence’s beautiful and sharp eyebrows. Sounding as authoritative as ever, he asked, “Where are you going?”Zoey tried to get up, but his strength was too much for her to overcome. His cold and slender thumb pressed on her shoulder, easily pinning her in place.“I want to go upstairs and rest.”Laurence’s finger hooked onto a lock of her hair as he looked at her slightly flushed face. “It’s too stuffy upstairs; you should rest in the living room.”Zoey was helpless against his strength. She frowned and complained, “Don’t hold me down.”Laurence said sorry to her without any sincerity. Despite his apology, he didn’t intend to let go of her. “As soon as I let go, you’ll run away, won’t you?”At such a close distance, even their breaths became intertwined.Zoey replied insincerely, “I won’t run.”Laurence sta
