A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 385

Leila stood for a long time. She was almost sunburnt but she still felt cold.

She went back to the ward again and her mother was sitting alone in front of the sickbed. The heart monitor and the ventilator were both working. Brian was lying quietly on the bed with his lips a little crooked. Leila looked at him, who was sleeping and seemed to have been in a coma.

Then, Leila saw her mother staring blankly and there were tears in the corners of her eyes. It seemed that she had aged too much in one night.

As soon as Mabel turned around and saw Leila, she looked at her in a daze and said gently after a long time, “Leila, why did Vincent do this to you?”

It turned out that her mother had already known about it. Leila’s heart ached, and she became speechless with a cry.

“How could your father withstand this blow! He’s always been so strong, so determined. How can he bear to live with it?” Mabel whispered.

“Mum ...” Leila was even more upset.

“Leila, Vincent has let Mum down too much!” Mabel said again.

Leila lowered her head, and her tears were almost falling down.

Someone suddenly came to the ward at that moment. Mabel regained her emotional composure as she stood up and walked to the door. Leila heard she shouted, “Secretary Newman, you don’t have to come if you’re too busy as Brian’s life is no longer in danger!”

Then, dozens of municipal party committee leaders walked in, the atmosphere was solemn and serious.

Secretary Newman even said in a deep voice, “Mrs. Hunter, Brian is a good leader, and he cared much about his people. We are deeply saddened by his illness. On behalf of the municipal party committee and government, I have come to see him and hope that he will recover soon and return to work!”

Leila bowed her head, and suddenly she felt like a sinner. She hadn’t been able to get the video back and everything seemed to be her fault. Her heart overflowed with bitterness and her head hung down low. She was in the corner and heard her mother say, “Thank you for your concern!”

Later, Secretary Newman and his party didn’t stay much longer. They just told her mum to take care of her dad, then looked at her again and left. Eventually, Director Gordon, Julian Gordon’s father, saw Leila. He gave her a very thoughtful glance and said, “Leila, take care of your father!”

Leila nodded her head and sent them away.

She ran outside to answer a strange phone call, and a plain voice came from the other end. “Leila, are you okay?”

Leila was slightly stunned and asked back indifferently, “What do you think?”

“Actually, I’m a victim too!” Charles’s voice seemed to leak a hint of grievance. “That is my body and your sister’s after all!”

“Are you okay?” Leila asked.

“I just want to say, be strong!” Charles’s tone was very sincere.

However, Leila spoke in a cold voice, “I don’t need your phoney mercy!”

“Hold on, Leila, my boss wants to talk to you!”

Leila was about to hang up the phone, but once she heard it was Vincent’s mother, she continued listening, “What can I do for you?”

“Leila, the problem between the Hunter family and the White family has been more than a couple of days, if you don’t want things to get embarrassing, please divorce Vin immediately!” Nora said on the other end, “You should know that I don’t like you!”

“Is that so?” Leila asked back grimly, tugging at the corners of her lips, “You’ve done all this painstakingly to get him to leave me, have you?”

At this point, Leila understood one thing that she and Vincent simply could not live out their lives happily. That’s just it, because there was really too much resistance between them.

“By the way, Vin is attending a blind date banquet right now! Do you want to come? We’re at HJ Hotel!”

The phone hung up!

Leila was stunned.

Was he impatient already? He was going on a blind date before the divorce was granted?

Leila put down the phone in disbelief. She took a deep breath, went downstairs to look for a taxi and rushed to HJ Hotel.

The banquet hall was very busy at the moment. He was really impatient to have a party in the middle of the day.

As she walked into the hall, the buzzing scene made Leila feel out of place. She couldn’t be a wealthy lady after all.

Vincent was already annoyed, and he really didn’t expect his mother to do this. There was no notice at all beforehand, so he was really caught off guard. His mother had threatened him, and he could not accept that threat any more. He could only stand here with a cold, handsome face, even though he really couldn’t stand for a second at the moment.

There was even a Japanese woman who came up to talk to him in broken Chinese. His eyes immediately became indifferent and sharp, and his face was featured clearly. Under his thick black eyebrows, the eyes were like deep pools, deep and dark, and his slightly pursed lips were even colder. “Vincent!” Leila finally saw him, and there were several beautiful women with slender figures standing beside him. She smiled and stepped forward to talk to him without the fear of his indifference.
