Chapter 281 This is Your Attitude When You're Begging for Help
Bryan drove Chloe to the hospital.
When the doctor confirmed after a series of checks that everything was in order, they both sighed in relief.
The doctor subtly reminded Bryan and Chloe not to do any strenuous exercises, making them squirm awkwardly.
"Chloe, you scared me to death. Thank god you're okay!" Nicole patted her rest in relief.
"You have to be more careful in the future. You're not alone now, you have the baby to take care of. Bryan, remember to take care of Chloe, the baby in her stomach is yours too."
Nicole was also unhappy that Bryan always asked after Anna.
"Since you both have a child together, you're parents now, you need to prioritize your child, anyone or anything else is not important anymore.”
Bryan nodded, not making any comments.
Chloe leaned on his chest and whispered, "Bryan, I was so scared. I thought something happened to our baby, thank God he's fine."
"The baby is very important to me, Chloe. I know it’s hard for you but you have to protect the baby." Bryan kept his voice as soft and gentle as he could, circling a n arm around her shoulders.
"Yeah, I definitely will!" Chloe looked up at him, her smile and happiness reflected in her eyes, "This is our baby. Of course I will love him, and protect him!"
"It's just a false alarm. Never mind, we'll take it as a regular check-up. Come on, let's go home." At the sight of the loving couple, Nicole smiled too.
Chloe followed Bryan out of the hospital but at the entrance, under a streetlamp in the near distance, she saw a confusing figure.
Chloe glanced at her mother, noticed her mother's harrowing expression and her heart dropped into her stomach.
"Bryan, let's go." Chloe pulled at Bryan, urging him to leave.
Nicole bowed her head and picked up her footsteps, but still turned back and glanced at the figure standing under the streetlamp.
Only when she saw the spot was empty, did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Anna enjoyed a good night's sleep, and was more refreshed and energized than ever.
She had to report for work at the Ackman Group in seven days, but for now, she had seven days to rest and relax!
She woke up, ate breakfast, and went for a walk in the garden. With the sun shining on her face, she was in a beautiful mood, but at the thought of Ryan Sanchez, blinding anger rose in her chest.
What should she do to teach that asshole a lesson?
Besides, for an incident like that, if he went around running his mouth and telling his version of the story, she was the one who would lose out in the end. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
She didn't know how badly he was beaten that day. There was no news of him these few days, and her classmates mentioned nothing of it in the school group.
It was as if the incident between Ryan and her was nothing but a bad dream. A fiction of her imagination.
Anna made a call to Nina, Nina was always a chatterbox, but the weird thing was she didn't say anything about the days' happenings at all!
"Anna, Vincent also said he wanted to pop a bottle of champagne to celebrate your win! Should we go together?”
"I don't want to.”
"Then what do you want to do?"
"I don’t feel like doing anything now. I just want to eat, and sleep, and all of that on repeat."
Nina laughed, "You’re not a pig you know?”
Pig...
Suddenly, Anna was reminded of Liam.
The past few days he had maintained a low profile. He did not seek her out, she was delighted but also a little disappointed.
That man always needed a few days to recuperate after expending all his animal instincts.
"I'm saving my energy for the day we join the Ackman Group. Who knows what kind of torture we will be subjected to? I suggest you do the same, rest well and prepare for war!" Anna exclaimed.
"I'm not as lucky as you, Ms. Hamilton. I still have to take care of my mother."
"Nina, let’s wake up earlier tomorrow."
"Why?"
"Let's bring your mom to the hospital to start her treatment. Since we both have some free time tomorrow."
Nina was quiet for a few seconds, "But my mom’s condition is unique, I dare not to bring her to the hospital. I’m worried they will put her in the psychiatric ward and keep her there."
"Don't worry! Do you remember Dr. Hart? We can ask him for help."
“Can we?" "Of course, leave it to me."
Anna returned home and made a phone call to Liam.
"There's something I need your help on..."
"What?" Liam's voice was cold, distant, and businesslike.
Anna pouted at the phone. Of course, she was just a pet he conveniently forgot about after his pants were u p and his needs were satisfied.
"It's Dr. Hart, can you put in a word for me? I'm bringing Nina's mother to the hospital tomorrow. See whether he can do us a favor."
"Why should I help you?" Liam's voice raised at the end of his sentence as if they were strangers.
"We know each other after all, at least we're friends, right? I just need you to put in a word for me to make sure Nina's mother won't be sent to the psychiatric ward. Considering our relationship now, can't you do that for me?"
"What's our relationship?”
Liam’s question made her pause to think.
Exactly!
What was their relationship? She didn't know either.
"We are... Uhm...”
"We are what?"
Anna's voice turned cold and low, "Are you going to help me or not?"
"Is this the attitude you show me when you're begging for help?"
"What kind of attitude do you want?"
"Like you're begging me."
"You!"
Liam laughed softly, "Tonight, I'll be home at eight, you know what to do."
"I don’t know!" Anna slammed the phone down.
Next, her phone rang with a call from him. The moment she answered his furious roar drifted in," Anna Hamilton, how dare you hang up on me! As an additional term, you can never hang up on me, EVER!”
Ever?
Anna's heart skipped a beat.
Did he plan to maintain their contractual relationship forever?
“Tonight at eight, Fitzrovia Hills. Don't be late!" He ordered her commandingly and ended the call.
Anna sighed helplessly.
She only asked him for a favor. Why did she end up selling herself as part of the bargain? This man was cunning and evil, he was the textbook definition of a sly businessman!
But she had no choice. She arrived at Fitzrovia Hills, i n Liam's villa at 8 pm that night.
