“No ice.”
“Yes,” The driver said and pushed the door open to get down of the car.
Then she held her chin and continued to look through the window at the people. Suddenly she saw a familiar figure in the rear-view mirror, she lowered the window glass and looked back. Soon she saw who the person was clearly.
Meanwhile, she was confused and thought, ‘Why was Abbott Baron here? Was he here for work?’
When she was about to push the car door open and get down, she saw a woman coming after him. Loredana had seen this woman before who had said some inexplicable things to her that day at the hospital. Cormac had told that she was the sixth sister of Declan Bailey.
How could she and Abbott be together?
She quickly closed the door and looked at them through the rear-view mirror and wanted to find out their exact relationship.
Abbott was impatient and was almost being driven mad by this woman, Emma Bailey as she blocked him at the office and where he lived.
It made him afraid to go to the office or even return home now.
“I say, Miss Bailey, what exactly do you want?” he glared at Emma with anger and felt bored and grumpy, “I’ve fucking quit, I’ve nothing now. Why are you still pestering me?”
After reprieving for a moment, he quickly responded, “By the way, you still have my clues in your hands. I’ve made that very clear, you can give it to whoever you want, I don’t care.” He patted his cheek, “Isn’t it just a face? Here you go.”
Emma realized that she had miscalculated as the people around Cormac who were tough to handle, weren’t just Armand Bernie and Boyce Shawn, but also Abbott who was dauntless. She gritted her teeth, “Abbott, don’t you help me?”
“Don’t expect me to help you!” he said decisively.
She clenched her hands, “Fine, since you don’t let me have an easy time, I won’t make it easy for you either!”
He sneered, “When have you ever made things easy for me?”
“Abbott!” she got angry as he was so stubborn.
He was even stupid enough to quit his job. Was he crazy?
She couldn’t understand Abbott, but she knew those clues in her hands couldn’t threaten him as nothing could make him fear since he didn’t even consider his future.
She thought, ‘Obviously the hard tactics doesn’t work, maybe I can try the soft method?’ Suddenly her gaze changed, she calmed her tone and asked in a pleasant manner, “Abbott, how old are you?”
He noticed her expression change and took a step back as he felt that she was trying to set him up and harm him again.
“Why are you asking my age?”
She smiled, “Thirty years old, I think.”
“It’s none of your business how old I am,” He blurted out directly.
She didn’t get angry, instead she smiled more radiantly, “Do you want to be a father?”
He paused for a moment and asked, “What, what do you mean?”
Right now he was the one who turned to be unsettled.
She looked down and touched her stomach, “Literally? Why can’t even understand these simple words?”
“Pff, are you saying that you’re carrying my baby?” he said.
He paused for a moment, “You think I would believe it?”0000
Emma shrugged her shoulders and threw up her hands, “Since you don’t care, I will go for an abortion.”
She turned around and left after saying that. Abbott stood in place for two seconds before he stepped forward and stopped her, “You’re joking with me, right?”
“So you think a woman who just lost her father and whose brother was in jail will make such a joke? The only thing I want to do is to take revenge on those who put them in trouble!” Emma said sternly. Abbott sneered, “Is the Bailey family all dead? What are you, a woman, doing out here?”
“Abbott!” Emma scolded.
Abbott ignored her and continued speaking, “It is because they are still kind. They can differentiate clearly what is right and wrong. Only you’re crazy and obsessed with revenge.”
“Abbott, you bastard!” Emma disregarded her image and punched at him.
Abbott did not move and let her hit him. He would never hit a woman even though he wanted to do so in his mind.
Loredana had been hearing it for a while and she probably had understood what was going on. She did not get down from the car to reveal it. However, she gave Cormac a call. It was inside the private room at the moment.
Mr. Thompson had already heard the situation from the doctor who examined Loredana. He had also gone through the report and had gathered experts from this field to do research.
“According to your wife’s condition, it will be advisable to give birth in seven and a half months. If you’re worried about your baby’s health, then let her stay in the hospital and we will observe her situation daily. She can take until eight months at the latest.”
Cormac rested his forehead on his hand as he was unsatisfied with such a solution.
“Actually, your wife is not suitable to have another child. From this medical check-up, her body is considered weak.” Mr. Thompson leaned his body back, “For the safety of the adult, an early delivery is the most conservative option.”
Buzz…
Cormac’s phone rang in his pocket at this moment. He took it out and glanced at the contact notification before picking it up.
“When will you be done?” Loredana asked.
“I will be out soon,” Cormac said.
Loredana replied “alright” and hung up the phone.
Cormac stood up and claimed that he had something else to do. He thanked Mr. Thompson for the appointment. Mr. Thompson also stood up, “You’re welcome. Your father and I are old acquaintances. We will do our best and that’s the best we can achieve at this moment.”
He took out a name card from his pocket and handed it to Cormac, “This is an old acquaintance who we studied together before. He is now the attending physician in Mayo Medical Center. You can go to him if you need to.”
Cormac reached out to take the name card and said, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Cormac offered to shake his hand, “I have taken up your time today. I will treat you to dinner next time when I’m free.”
Mr. Thompson agreed graciously and Cormac walked him out. Cormac also left after seeing him get into his car.
He walked to the car that was parked at the roadside. Then, he opened the car door and asked, “What’s wrong?” Loredana moved in to give him a seat. She replied, “Nothing much, I saw Abbott with a woman just now.” Cormac sat in and closed the car door. He asked, “What woman?”
Loredana told the truth and then asked him, “Do you know?”
Cormac seemed to understand instantly why Abbott had been unusual. It turned out that he was with Emma.
No wonder he wanted to resign.
