Chapter 269 A Disgruntled Encounter
Freya turned around and saw Liora walking alongside Rylan, with two bodyguards trailing behind them. Ronan was already irritated, and Liora’s words were not pleasant at all. He immediately fired back, “What business is it of yours whether we fight or flirt?”
Liora’s expression changed instantly. “What did you just say?”
“Wasn’t it you who started this nonsense?” Ronan was furious and Liora’s provocation at this moment was like poking a hornet’s nest.
“You…” Liora was also filled with anger. Since falling into Freya’s trap last time, Rylan was disappointed in her for intentionally getting rid of the child. He no longer gave her any freedom. Wherever she went, these two bodyguards would follow her. In fact, Rylan didn’t allow her to go out anymore. She was practically under house arrest. Rylan had made it clear that she would only have her freedom once she got pregnant again and gave birth to a child. So until she had another child, she couldn’t do anything. Rylan didn’t allow her to work, and he wouldn’t help her with anything either. The incident of her aborting the child really hurt Rylan’s heart. As a result, Liora, who had lost her freedom, couldn’t do anything and was filled with anger. When she saw Freya, naturally, she had nothing good to say. Her mood became even more miserable.
“You look like a lapdog!” Liora stared at Ronan.
Ronan sneered, “Have I been licking you?”
Liora clenched her fists. Rylan intervened, reminding them, “You came here for a check-up, not to argue with others.” He wasn’t as doting towards Liora as before. Liora didn’t dare to provoke him either. She grudgingly quieted down.
“Let’s go, our appointment time has arrived,” Rylan said.
Liora didn’t like coming to the hospital. “Can we not come next time?”
Rylan refused outright. “No, I need to know your health condition until you get pregnant and give birth to another child.”
Liora felt frustrated, but she didn’t dare show it on her face. She tightly bit her lip, afraid to argue. As they left, she glanced at Freya with hatred in her eyes. Feeling restricted in her freedom and treated like a baby-making tool by Rylan, forced to have a child, she resented it.
“It’s all because of you. I will never let you off the hook.”
Freya simply ignored her. Liora hated her, and it wasn’t something that happened overnight. There was nothing surprising about it. Rylan left with Liora. Freya also left. But Ronan remained in place. Staring at Freya’s figure, he let out a deep sigh. Dejected, he returned to the hospital room to complete his mother’s discharge procedures.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Sivin Peters didn’t give Freya much work today, wanting her to rest. But she couldn’t calm down at all and spent her free time reading the notes Sivin had given her. They were indeed helpful, documenting Sivin Peters’ years of clinical experience and some difficult cases he had encountered.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
Could it be Elijah?
Freya immediately looked at the screen. However, it wasn’t him, and she felt a slight sense of disappointment. She answered the call.
“Do you have some free time? Come over tonight with Kai. I miss him,” Elowen’s voice came through the phone.
Freya replied, “Okay.”
“And…” Elowen paused for a moment. “Can you bring Elijah too? I’ll go out and buy more groceries. Tonight, let’s have dinner together.”
Upon hearing the name, Freya gently lowered her gaze. “He’s out of the country, there’s something going on at the company…”
Elowen, who had also been married before, sensed that something was off from Freya’s words.
“Don’t lie to me!”
