A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 387

“Aren’t you going to find my sister?” Leila asked again.

Brian nodded his head and looked at Leila. There was something crystal-clear in his eyes. Leila was startled a little as she could see his struggle in his eyes. She did not know how to guess about it.

“Father, you don’t want me to look for my sister?”

Brian nodded again.

Leila sighed.

Brian looked at the ceiling in the ward as if he was thinking about something.

That day when Leila came out from the ward, she sat on the long bench in the corridor. Her eyes were fluttering and showing a little stubbornness. Suddenly, her eyes just turned red.

“Leila?” There was a familiar voice coming through.

Leila looked up blankly and saw Renee. She was even thinner. She was wearing a pair of jeans, and a white T-shirt with a plum blossom printed on it. She was holding a bouquet of flower while looking at Leila. Her eyes were filled with a thousand words but she only spoke out a sentence. “Leila, it’s really not a big deal. We will be strong!”

Leila stood up. Her eyes were red, and she rubbed her eyes and stretched out her hands to hug Renee. “You’re right. We have to be strong! Why do you come here? How’s your body doing?”

“I’m fine!” Renee smiled. “Let’s go in and see your father!”

“Okay!” Leila nodded and pulled Renee into the ward.

Brian was asleep again. Renee put the flowers on the table in the ward, and then said a few words with Mabel. “Mrs. Hunter, Leila and I will stay outside for a while. Is that okay?”

Mabel nodded. “Lexi, just go back. Vincent will be worried if you’re back home late!”

“Mother! I...” Leila knew what she wanted to say but she suddenly stopped. “Mother, I will come back to take your place later. Please go back to rest in the evening. I will take care of Father!”

When Leila left the ward with Renee, Mabel wanted to say something but she suddenly paused. In the end, she did not say anything at all.

The two girls were sitting in the pavilion below the hospital, Leila bought a thick stack of newspaper and put it under Renee’s body. She just had a miscarriage with a severe bleeding while she was still in confinement. She should not catch any cold.

“Leila, you always make me feel angry and bad at the same time!” Renee suddenly said when she saw the stack of newspapers.

Leila raised her head and replied, “Let’s sit down!”

“How can you still be so considerate at this time! I’m willing to treat you as my friend!” Renee did not cry for so long because her tears were dry. Her eyes suddenly turned red at this time.

“Aren’t we friends forever?” Leila sounded gentle as she turned her head at Renee.

“Of course!” Renee sat on the newspaper, and suddenly she felt that her heart was getting warmer. “Have you found your sister?”

Leila shook her head.

“I didn’t expect it to happen. How could that kind of thing spread out? It just makes anyone mad! It’s too disgusting. Who did that?”

Renee was feeling indignant at injustice. Fighting for injustice had always been her nature. “It was too immoral!”

“Vincent’s mother!” Leila gently spilled out two words.

“Ah...” Renee suddenly got stuck.

“I’m preparing to divorce!” Leila said gently. “It’s too difficult!”

“Leila... if it wasn’t Vincent who did it, are you still...”

“Don't convince me!” Leila interrupted her, “If you’re my friend, don’t give me any advice! We still can live our lives without any man!”

“Can I smoke a cigarette?” Renee frowned. She suddenly asked.

Leila was startled, “Your body is not getting better yet, why do you want to smoke?”

“I can’t hold it anymore!” Renee sounded indifferently.

“Okay! Just smoke then!”

She felt like crying when she heard about what Renee said earlier on.

Renee took out the cigarette box. It was long. The packaging was white in color and long just like her hand. She lit up a stick, and the way she smoked was attractive. Renee was so beautiful in the smoky atmosphere.

As Leila was looking at Renee smoking, she had never seen any woman who smoked so elegantly. Leila stretched out her hand, “Give me a stick.”

Renee looked at Leila and took out a stick for her. She helped her to lit it up. “Leila, are you sure you’re okay?”

It was the first time that Leila smoked a cigarette in her life. She took a puff in her mouth, and it was numbing and spicy. Suddenly, she was choked and coughed after. “Cough, cough, cough...”

“Leila, you don’t know how to smoke!” Renee sighed.

Leila did not say anything and took a puff again. Then, she coughed even violently as if something was going to come out from her eyes.

“Just cry if you want to. I can borrow you my shoulder. Don’t pretend that you’re choked by the cigarette!” Renee said calmly.

“Can you not to be so straightforward?” Leila suddenly turned around and look at her, and her tears flowed.

“How long are you going to hold back if I’m not being straightforward? I’m just worried that you might suffocate from holding back for too long!”
