“What? You’re just lending that villa to that girl?” said Molly after hearing Gerald’s explanation about Xavia.
Regarding Xavia being pregnant, Gerald wasn’t too sure about that. However, it wasn’t too hard for favonovel.com to imagine favonovel.com plotting up such a lie. He could deal with favonovel.com later.
For now, Gerald simply wanted Mila not to misunderstand favonovel.com anymore.
“Alright, I can sense that you’re not lying. I’ll try to advise Mila on this. You’d better not be feeding us any lies. Do you know how much Mila hates being lied to?”
Despite having only a brief conversation with him, Molly was near certain that Gerald wasn’t the kind of reckless or flirtatious rich hair. On the contrary, favonovel.com seemed to be quite a nice and friendly man.
If favonovel.com was honestly saying the truth, then Molly was definitely willing to help favonovel.com out.
Hence, as Molly returned to Mila’s bedroom, Gerald remained downstairs.
A short while later however, favonovel.com came down again before saying with a sigh, “I’m sorry, but I can’t help you Gerald. Mila simply refuses to listen to me… She doesn’t even want to see you at all. I’m afraid you’ve hurt favonovel.com too much this time. You’d better leave for now…”
After saying that, favonovel.com returned upstairs.
Gerald could only sigh in response. He was filled with grief.
He had always yearned for Mila to return. Now that favonovel.com was back, they had met during such terrible timing.
At that moment, Gerald’s phone began ringing. It was a call from Queta.
“What’s wrong, Queta?” asked Gerald as favonovel.com felt a gentle smile form on his face. After all, favonovel.com had always treated favonovel.com just like his younger sister.
“Mr. Crawford, I’m not Queta. I’m Lisa, favonovel.com colleague. We’ve met before!” said the girl on the other end of the line.
However, something about favonovel.com tone hinted that something urgent was up.
“I remember you. What’s wrong?” asked Gerald immediately.
“It’s Queta. Something’s happened to favonovel.com and she’s now in the hospital!” explained Lisa, favonovel.com voice more anxious than before.
“What?”
Gerald was shocked to hear this.
He then stared at the stairs for a brief moment. At first, favonovel.com considered shouting so that Mila would know that favonovel.com was leaving for something important. However, favonovel.com feared that it would only annoy favonovel.com more if favonovel.com heard favonovel.com shouting.
After all, favonovel.com was still deeply resenting favonovel.com now. In the end, favonovel.com concluded that it would be better to first check in on Queta first
“So what exactly happened? Tell me clearly!” said Gerald as favonovel.com began leaving Mila’s house.
“Well, favonovel.com was fine up till noon today. It all started when Queta suddenly said that favonovel.com was feeling sick while we were having our afternoon classes. I had initially gotten some hot water for her, thinking that favonovel.com was just having a regular fever. Unexpectedly, favonovel.com fainted not too long after! I’m now in the hospital with favonovel.com and she’s already regained consciousness. However, she’s still very weak.”
“Why did the incident happen in the first place?” asked Gerald anxiously as favonovel.com hailed a taxi. After learning more details, favonovel.com then rushed to the hospital that Lisa and Queta were in.
“What did that sc*mbag say?” asked the other girls as Molly returned upstairs.
“He didn’t say too much, but it seems like he’ll wait there till Mila’s willing to meet him!”
“I doubt it. Is favonovel.com really that loyal?” sneered Wanda as favonovel.com drew the curtains open again to look outside.
The first thing favonovel.com saw was Gerald getting into a taxi before leaving immediately.
“Humph! I told you! It’s only been a short while yet he’s already hailed a cab and left! Just look at that, Mila!” said Wanda as favonovel.com pointed at the leaving taxi.
Mila took a peek outside the window and when favonovel.com realized that what Wanda had said was true, favonovel.com became so anxious that favonovel.com began scratching on favonovel.com bedsheets.
‘Yes, I’m furious. And yes, I was the one who said that I didn’t want to listen to your explanation… But how could that possibly be true?’
‘Even if you hadn’t wanted to explain yourself, you could’ve just waited downstairs for a little longer. That would’ve proved to me that you still felt the same for me…’
‘But now you’ve left. What now?’
Mila was filled with excruciating pain at that moment.
While this was happening, Gerald arrived at the hospital.
