Chapter 86
Edmund’s POV
Oarlan immediately handed the phone to me. ” Leanna’s mother called you just now. I suspect that she might have known the relationship between you and Leanna.”
At this time, I remembered that Belinda was still living in our house in Edinburgh, so I guessed that she must have known about it.
”
“Did she say anything?”
Oarlan shook her head, “no. I told her that you were busy and asked her to tell me what happened. and she hung up.”
After thinking for half a second, I picked up my phone and dialed Leanna’s number.
As soon as the phone rang, it was connected. Cedric’s clear voice came from the other end of the line, “Hello, who are you?”
“Cedric, this is Dad. Where is your mommy?” When I heard my son’s voice, I was in a good mood.
“Mommy is in her room. Daddy, do you miss me?”
“Of course.”
“Me too. When will you come to see mommy and me?” Cedric said in a sweet voice.
“How about next week? Can you give the phone to Mommy and let her answer it now?” I know that once Cedric talks to me, there will be a lot of things that will never end. So I just let Leanna answer the phone first.
Soon, I heard Leanna’s voice, “hello… Edmund…”
“Leanna, your mother called me, but I didn’t answer it. It was Oarlan.”
“Did she really call you?” Leanna sighed, “yes, she can do anything.”
“Tell me, are you wronged?””What’s wrong with her?”.
“No, Edmund. She has already known what happened between us. She has nothing else to talk to you except asking you for money.”
“Money? How much does she want?”
“She said she wanted one hundred million.”
“Tell her. I’ll ask someone to prepare the money for her. You ask her to come back to take it.”
“Edmund, I’m sorry. I have such a family. I will only cause you trouble…” she said in a guilty tone.
“Silly girl, compared with what you have suffered for me, a little money is nothing. According to what I said, you don’t need to worry. I will handle everything.” I comforted her.
“Well, I see…” she hesitated for half a second and continued, “well… Have you contacted Eugene?”
Hearing her mention of Eugene, I thought for a while and lied to her, “not yet.”
“Well, I’ll call Sheila later. Maybe I can get through.” Leanna said.
“Leanna… You don’t have to call that number. I called and couldn’t get through. Maybe Eugene doesn’t want to be disturbed by us. Since he has chosen to live a new life, we can fulfill his wish as a respect for him. What do you think?”
“I know what you mean, but…”
“Well, I’ll take care of Eugene. I promise you that I’ll keep in touch with him, okay?”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, I put it down and looked up at Oarlan. “I asked you to contact Leanna’s sister, Hannah. Have you got in touch with her?”
“I have found out her contact information and haven’t called her yet. But are you sure you want to contact her? She seems to be carrying out a rescue project. Is there anything wrong with Leanna?”
I shook my head. “Do you know why Leanna’s mother called?”
He frowned. “Did she make things difficult for Leanna?”
I sneered, “she asked me for money.”
“What? How much do you want?”
“One hundred million.”
Oarlan was shocked. “One hundred million? How dare she ask you for money? What on earth has she done for Leanna?”
“Money is not a problem, but it’s not the right way to go on like this. Besides, I don’t believe in her.” I shook my head.
“Do you mean that even if she takes the money, she might not keep the secret?” Said Oarlan.
“Do you think a person like her who can take her daughter as a tool to make money is a person who pays attention to integrity? She got the money from me and then sold Leanna to Whitney. It’s not something she can’t do.” I despise Belinda from the bottom of my heart.
“What you said makes sense. When Leanna married second master, she was also eager to recognize this daughter, wasn’t she? Before that, she didn’t even want to see her.” Oarlan nodded in agreement.
“So, it’s better to find someone to gag her than to use money to gag her.”.
“Do you mean to ask Hannah to be the one who blocked her mouth?”
“Leanna is too soft hearted. She can’t be cruel to her parents who had given birth to her. Even if she has unreasonable requests, she can’t refuse them. But Hannah is different. She lives with Leanna and cares about her sister very much. If she knows that her scum parents have been blackmailing Leanna, what do you think she will do? Now she has become a doctor s and is famous in the foreign medical industry, which makes her famous It was also a good thing that she came back to develop. In this way, we can not only get rid of that perfect couple, but also let Leanna see her sister when she comes back from abroad. Why not? ”
Oarlan agreed with him. “If Hannah really comes back, she can definitely suppress the couple by her means. That girl is hot tempered and not easy to deal with.”
“Anyway, please contact Hannah for me and tell her my identity. I will invite her back in the name of Leanna.” After thinking for a while, I added, “in addition, arrange a vice president for her in The Peace Hospital. With her current qualifications, it should be no problem for her to be a vice president.”
“Okay, I see. I’ll do it right away.” Oarlan said yes, turned around and left the office.
I leaned against the chair, with my phone in my hand. I opened the album and saw a photo. Leanna’s belly was bulging.
Four months, four months later, the little guy would come out.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
I have to remove all the obstacles for the three of them before the baby is born.
Eugene promised me that he would help me solve his parents’ problem. Now I have to face my mother. Eugene’s words are like a huge stone pressing on my heart. Is my mother really the murderer of my father?
I can’t let my wife and children take the risk, so I have to find out the truth, even if the result is something I don’t want to accept
Leanna’s POV
After my mother came back, my life became relaxed and comfortable again.
Edmund has come to visit me and Cedric less frequently in the past two months, but he still keeps in touch with them on the phone.
As time goes by, the baby in my belly is getting bigger and bigger. It’s more than seven months and it’s getting close to the expected date of childbirth.
In the afternoon, I was lying in my room to have a rest. Suddenly, the nanny ran in with a panic on her face. “Madam, something’s wrong. Cedric fainted.”
Hearing the news, I got up from the bed in a hurry and walked towards Cedric’s room with my hands on my waist.
When I entered the room, I saw Cedric lying on the bed, pale and unresponsive.
“Cedric, Cedric, wake up. Can you hear Mommy?”
But Cedric didn’t respond at all. He just lay there motionlessly.
I was so scared that I immediately asked the servant to call an ambulance. Then I went to the room to get my phone and called Edmund.
The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered it. Then I remembered that due to the jet lag, City Y was in the early morning. Edmund should be sleeping, so he didn’t hear the phone ring.
The ambulance arrived in about fifteen minutes. The medical staff carried Cedric into the ambulance. As a pregnant woman, it was inconvenient for me to move, so I didn’t follow the ambulance. Instead, the nanny drove the ambulance to the hospital in her own off-road vehicle.
After Cedric entered the hospital, he was directly sent to the resuscitation room. When he sent us and our son to Edinburgh, Edmund had already contacted a private hospital and arranged a special attending doctor for Cedric. Therefore, after Cedric entered the hospital, the attending doctor took over the treatment.
Sitting on the bench outside the resuscitation room, I was very nervous. I held my big belly with one hand and prayed for Cedric to come out safely.
After waiting for a long time, I felt my two legs numb. The doctor came out of the emergency room, walked up to me and said, “the child’s condition is not optimistic now. Although you have been paying attention to it, it is not under control.”
“Then what should we do? What can we do to save him? How is he now?” I was so anxious that I grabbed the doctor’s hand and asked.
The doctor thought for a moment and said, “the best way is to carry out the bone marrow transplant operation as soon as possible. No one knows how long the child can wait. As his condition is getting worse, he may be in danger at any time.”
“Do you want to have the transplant operation as soon as possible? But my baby is only seven months old…” I looked down at my belly, so anxious that tears were rolling in my eyes.
“Yes, we don’t recommend premature birth, but now you have to save your son, I’m afraid that you can only do this.” The doctor said.
“If I take the baby out of my belly now, will he be in danger?” I have made up my mind to give birth to the baby in advance.
“We have an incubator and a way to deal with the premature baby. Of course, there is still a risk. It all depends on you. With all due respect, madam, your eldest son is really in an emergency now.”
“I know. Please help me. I have to give birth to my baby in advance. I must save Cedric.” As I spoke, I handed my phone to the servant next to me. “Sarry, please help me call President and tell him what’s going on here.”
At this time, a nurse pushed me into a wheelchair and sent me to the gynaecology and obstetrics department.
I touched my round belly with both hands and silently said to the baby in my belly, “you must be strong. I’m waiting for your help.”
Edmund’s pov
When I got up, it was already half past seven in the morning.
In the past two months, I have been investigating my father’s car accident. Finally, I found the culprit, Trish. I didn’t expect that Trish, who has been with my mother all the time, would be my father’s one night stand. Back then, father mistook Trish for mother when he was drunk, but Trish was pregnant.
father gave her a sum of money and asked her to abort the child, but she was unwilling. She actually wanted to force father to divorce with the child. father was so angry that he asked someone to tie her up to the hospital and gave her a large sum of money. After that, she still stayed by her mother’s side to serve her. mother had never known about it. father didn’t pay attention to it since he saw that Trish was honest. However, Trish had always held a grudge against her. When father eloped, she broke the brake of the car, causing father and his lover to die on the way.
When mother knew about it, she was ten years older in an instant. After one night, the knot in her heart was solved for many years. I also told her about my relationship with Leanna, but I didn’t dare to tell her about Cedric’s condition. I only said that I would take her to see grandson for a period of time.
After solving this matter, I finally felt relieved for the past two months. I didn’t sleep until this morning.
When I went downstairs, I saw my phone on the tea table last night. I picked it up casually and found dozens of missed calls from the other side of the continent.
It was all from Leanna.
Seeing those calls, I suddenly had a bad feeling.
Generally speaking, Leanna won’t call me at this time, because she knows I’m resting, so she won’t disturb me easily.
But there were so many missed calls on the screen. It could be seen that the situation was very urgent, so she kept calling.
Did something happen to them?
I didn’t dare to think about it carefully and immediately called back.
The phone rang for a long time before it was connected. Sarry’s voice came from inside, “Sir, nice to meet you…”
