Blood oozed out of Audrey's nostrils and mouth. Valerie gave out a loud scream as her hands were soiled with the blood. “Help! Please take her to the hospital.” Valerie cried out helplessly.Without hesitation, the President quickly carried Audrey and rushed out of the house. Valerie, even though she was still suffering from the twisted ankle, she managed to limp outside the mansion.Shocked, Lady Davison rushed into the car, and it drove off with her and Audrey. Rebecca walked out of the house, fuming furiously. Things were no longer going as she planned. Valerie was supposed to be out of the mansion already, and now Audrey has ruined her plans.Valerie limped to Audrey's bus driver with tears in her eyes. “Please… please take me to the hospital. I need to be there.”“Where do you think you're going, Valerie?” Rebecca gritted her teeth in annoyance.Turning to her, Valerie sniffed. “I want to go to the hospital. Audrey… She's bleeding. I can't be here knowing fully well that she's n
Rebecca drove into the hospital premises, and pulled over in the garage. She couldn't help but feel disgusted as she approached the entrance.“Do I really have to displease myself, all because of that little witch? It's all her fault that I'm here.” Rebecca continued mumbling. She got into the hospital, and walked straight to the counter, where she met two nurses who were busy at their desks.She cleared her throat to get their attention, and they raised their heads and greeted cheerfully. Ignoring their greetings, Rebecca started. “I'm here to see someone. Her name is Audrey Davison, she was brought to this hospital a few minutes ago.”The first nurse flipped the pages of the file she was holding before replying. “May I know who you are to her, ma'am?”“Are you stupid? How dare you answer my question with a question?” Rebecca flared up.The surprised nurse gulped hard. She felt rather humiliated by the way Rebecca spoke to her. “Uhm… it's the rules, ma'am. I can't provide you any in
“Curse you!”President Ethan smiled mischievously. “You're hungry, I heard that from your stomach.”Valerie bit her lower lip and bowed her head in shame. “I'm… I'm sorry, sir.”“You don't always have to apologize when you did nothing wrong. Don't worry, I'll get you something from the cafeteria. Meanwhile, I'll get a nurse to treat your twisted ankle.” President Ethan replied before walking out of the door.Embarrassed, Valerie hit her stomach softly. “You won't cease to disgrace me, will you?”A few minutes later, a nurse walked in. The nurse sat right beside Valerie as she applied some ointment on her twisted ankle. “You're very lucky to have such a caring husband, ma'am.” The nurse broke the silence after a few minutes.Valerie's eyes squinted, and she gulped rather harder. “Husband?”“Yes, ma'am.” She responded.With a snort, Valerie turned to her. “He's… he's not my husband.”Confused, the nurse shook her head without saying a word. She was probably trying to wrap her head arou
Boiling with rage, Ethan sat outside with his pack of food. He wasn't even hungry anymore after seeing the lovey-dovey Valerie and Nicole were playing earlier.“I shouldn't have bothered getting her food when Ethan already did.” He scoffed.From outside, where Ethan was, he could hear Valerie and Nicole chattering and laughing loudly. He felt like rushing into the room, and dragging Nicole out of the hospital.“Should I even be thinking about Valerie? Shouldn't I be concerned about my daughter, who's lying unconscious in the ward?”With that, he decided to pay a deaf ear to the chattering Valerie and Nicole were doing happily inside the room, but unfortunately, he still couldn't bring himself to forget it.He was still boiling with rage when he felt a tap on his shoulder, and he turned swiftly. “Ethan, why are you eating outside here?”“Rebecca?” He called out, and gulped hard.Immediately, Rebecca noticed how unsettled and furious he looked. The pack of food was still uneaten because
“You have a child with Nicole?” Ethan repeated the question. Valerie and Nicole turned their gazes to him. He scoffed in disbelief. “I'm not surprised that you kept such a secret from me.”“We don't have a child together. What are you talking about, sir?” Valerie blinked hard.Nicole laughed a little. “I wish.”“You jerk! What are you saying, Nick?” Valerie nudged Nicole.With that, Ethan gulped hard and sighed in relief. “So… you're saying that I didn't hear you talking about a child?”“The child you heard is not ours like you described.” Nicole snapped.Ethan shook his head, but it was obvious that he wasn't satisfied with the explanation they gave him. He was still eager to know what child they were talking about.Valerie stared at him, and saw how unsettled Ethan looked. Even though she didn't want to, she just had to tell him so that he wouldn't get the wrong impression. “Actually, Sir, the child you heard us talking about is mine.”Ethan turned sharply with his eyes narrowed. “
“Oh, my child. You're awake. How do you feel, baby?” Lady Davison stormed into the ward and rushed to Audrey.Audrey gulped hard as her grandmother squeezed her tight into her bosom. “Miss old-fashioned. Where is Miss old-fashioned?”Upon hearing that, Lady Davison's countenance changed. What exactly did Valerie do to her granddaughter to make her love her so much? She's the first person she wants to see instead of her father and grandmother, who were standing right in front of her. “Are you that concerned about that servant, Audrey?”Audrey sniffed hard as tears circulated in her eyes. “I want her. Have you kicked her out of the house? I'll go with her.”Seeing how bad his daughter, who's just getting better, felt, Ethan walked closer to her and patted her soft, curly hair and replied. “Of course not. Your Miss old-fashioned will be here in no time. DFor now, the doctor said you should eat something.” He brought the lunch box closer.“No, I won't eat anything until I see her. I don'
President Ethan paced around restlessly as he sipped the glass of wine he was holding. He couldn't get his mind off the conversation he had with Valerie that afternoon.“Valerie's child has the same birthday as Audrey? Is this still a coincidence? Valerie also had the child through surrogacy. How is it possible that the child Valerie is talking about is the same as Audrey?”He kept thinking hard. There was no way he would believe that he would ever run into the mother of Audrey. He shook his head in disbelief. “I think I'm the only one getting this twisted, there is no way Valerie is Audrey's mother, right?”The door creaked open and Mr. Dan, President Ethan's assistant, walked in. “Good day, President Ethan.”“What is it, Mr. Dan? Don't tell me you can't handle things when I'm not around? I'm really not in the right state of mind to take care of anything concerning work.” Ethan snapped at him.After a few minutes of silence, Dan continued. “It's… it's not about work, Sir.”“Not abou
“What are you talking about, sir?”Valerie was confused and couldn't wrap her head around what President Ethan meant.Blinking rapidly, Ethan gradually let go of her arms. “I just want to have a talk with my cousin, Nicole.”“Oh!” Valerie bit her lips and showed him in. He walked into the apartment and straight to the couch, looking around the well furnished living room.He thought. “Not bad! Could this be the reason Valerie agreed to stay with him instead of the mansion?”Just then, Nicole walked out of the kitchen with a plate of dessert. “Hey, Val. I made you some banana split. That's your favorite dessert, right?”“Yes, please.” Valerie smiled as he passed the plate in front of her, and she took the plate and ate the dessert hungrily. President Ethan watched her eat the dessert, and that made him freak out. He clenched his fist in annoyance. She was probably eating it that way because it was Nicole who made that for her. They must be a thing for her to be so happy eating what he
