Chapter 48
I found out that Lizzy had given birth in my hospital. She had an accident, slipped from the stairs while going down the fashion show stage and had to give birth immediately because of bleeding
I thought it was my fate to always be connected to Peter and his family, even after the divorce. It was like bad luck that I couldn’t fully let go of and 1 didn’t know how to let it go until I really couldn’t connect with them anymore.
Out of many hospitals in this country, they will close to come to my hospital. I only found out later that the one who brought Lizzy here was her modeling friend and her mother had been treated here and she was satished with the service and treatment at this hospital, so she didn’t think about other hospitals besides this hospital.
The child was born healthy and safe, but the mother suffered severe bleeding and has not regained consciousness until now. This is already the third day, said Ella, the head nurse of the children’s ward
it mean the reporters can crowd the hospital lobby and disturb the other p
“Oh, poor thing” I said “but that doesn’t incant
patients”
Ella laughed. “Mr. Tucker and Mr. Igon have already taken care of them, ma’am. They both placed all the reporters a hundred meters away from their line of sight and they said they would kick out any reporters who were stubborn.”
I couldn’t help but laugh at Ella’s words. The names of the two men Ella mentioned were the hospital’s security chiefs and both were tall, big, muscular men with excellent martial arts skills because they were former special forces in the military.
Meeting Peter yesterday made me feel satisfied because I could nudge him a little. He looked haggard and dull, not at all like Peter who usually walked with his chin held high and an annoying high–class style.
After Ella left my office, I decided to call Noah He had been staying at his apartment since yesterday because he had been working overtime until almost morning working on a case. The last communication was before midnight last night and he was still in his office
“Hi baby Noah greeted in a sexy, hoarse voice. It seemed like he had just woken up “Are you at the hospital yet?”
“Hey honey. Yeah, I just finished going through two files and talked a bit with some of the staff. Did you just wake up? What time did you go to bed?” I asked casually..
“I went to bed a little past four Noah answered slowly. Just w
woke up when you called?
I looked at my watch. It was almost 11, I guess Noah had enough sleep and he needed to eat
“Get ready, I’ll be at your place in an hour,” I said.
“Him” Fll come to you,” Noah replied. “I’ll take a shower and head in the hospital. I want to have lunch with you at a Thai restaurant.”
“Oh okay then, I said. “I thought you might still be sleepy and too lazy to go out to eat, so I’ll bring you some food”
Noah and I talked for a while and after we were done I went back to work while waiting for him to arrive.
I had just closed my laptop when Noah called and said that he was waiting in the lobby.
I wondered why Noah didn’t just go up and come to my office, or his. It wasn’t like his usual self.
Maybe he didn’t want to go up and down because the Thai restaurant he was referring to was just behind the hospital.
t out of the elevator and saw Noah talking to a woman. I only saw her back.
I got
Noah waved when he saw me walking towards him. The woman turned and I was surprised to see that it was Moira, my ex–mother–in–law.
Moira’s sharp eyes stared at me
me with a look like a deiective who was suspicious of a potential suspect.
She was still like that, but this time I saw she was nervous and seemed sick because her face looked plain without make up and looked pale.
Edudict want to greet her at all. d just passed her by
“Noah, why don’t you come up?” Lasked in surprise.
“Drora” Moira’s voice sounded hesitant greeting me: “Can we talk for a moment”
I turned and looked at her, without saying anything. I could feel Noah’s hand touching my shoulder gently.
She’s been waiting for you for two hours and was almost homer again when she met me in the yard,” Noah said softly.
“Yest Frankio Moira. “What do you need in talk alant?“.
Chapter 48
Moira looked nervous and now her face was bright red. Fimagined it must have been hard for her to hold herself back from throwing insults or curves at ine, like she usually did before.
she once said that my face alone always made her lose her patience every time she saw me.
T–T’m sorry if I’m interrupting y your time. Moira said quietly. “I need to–”
“Can’t you speak a little louder?” I asked, cutting him off. “I guess, because of being yelled at and cursed at so often by my ex–husband and his family. I’m not used to hearing soft voices, because they always speak in a loud tone to me.”
Moira looked shocked to hear my words and she became even more nervous, I could hardly believe it, seeing her act like this in front of me. Where did her high self–condence and arrogance go.
Leora, please, I need your help now. Moira said in a pleading tone. “If necessary I will kneel in front of you so that you will help me. Forgive me for my attitude towards you before, I realize my mistake and am willing to atone for it in any way, as long as you are willing to help me.”
Ismiled softly at Moira, but I flinched when she tried to grab my hand. What she said was ridiculous.
Unfortunately, my supply of mercy and desire to forgive is very limited and expensive, so I have to be good at managing it and cannot give it to just anyone.” I replied in a sharp sweet tone. “You and your children are included in the forbidden criteria written in bold ink, to receive mercy and forgiveness from me”
“Oh Leora Moira said in a trembling voice. Her eyes were teary. “I know my please, just this once, help me. please, Leora
y mistake is very big and you must find it hard to forgive me,
but
“If you need medical help, you can register with the administration. I said stiftly. This hospital does not discriminate against anyone. Competent doctors will still help you, no matter if you are a housemaid, a judge, an evil in–law, a cheating husband, or a school dropout,”
My sarcasm made Moira’s tears flow freely down her checks. She lowered her head and wrung her hands together and I realized how shabby she looked right now, as if she had rushed from home to here.
“Oh, I forgot. Do you want to ask about your newborn grandson, or the condition of your famous and rich model daughter–in–law? I continued. “You can ask the nurses at the reception counter there for information. They will help you and you can also talk to the doctor in charge of treating them. I am the owner of this hospital, but not a doctor”
1 book Noah’s hand. “Let’s go. I’m so hungry. I forgot to eat breakfast this morning because, I was in such a hurry to get here.
Noah smiled and nodded. I was just turning to leave when Moira’s voire stopped me.
You’re the only one Peter will listen to Leora. Please. He won’t listen to me and now he’s got Eva. Peter will kill her!” Noah and I exchanged glances.
