After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 405

Chapter 405 Scolded

Staring at him, Manuel said, "Henry, I know what you're up to."
He didn't answer Henry's question to the point, since he knew the truth clearly.
There was a slightly strange expression appeared on Henry's face.
"I will allow you to be her lover if you are acting positive. But if you failed..." Manuel stared at him, "I'll take every measure to break you up!"
Henry watched him with cold eyes, and Manuel left with such words.
Henry gritted his teeth and turned back to the ward.
Susan was lying in the bed with obvious sadness in her eyes. But he pretended not to see her sorrow.
"Have a good rest, Susan." Said he.
Susan turned to look at him, and she asked, "What did you say to him?"
"I asked him to not blame you. This is not your fault, it's mine. But..." Henry was about to speak but hesitated.
Susan was looking at him.
"I can understand that since it's his child after all. But it's cruel of him to let it go so easily." Henry gave a pitiful smile, " I still have no right to ask him to give any reaction."
"Stop concerning about it. It's our own business." Susan said to him.
Henry was surprised. He didn't expect Susan would treat him with such a cold reaction. Her words "It's our own business" made him feel like he was pushed aside from her. Great wrath was raised in his heart, but luckily he managed to destroy their relationship on time. Anyway, the child must be a lifelong scar for both of them which would add an insult to injury in their broken marriage.
"I'm sorry. I thought I could help..." He sounded remorseful, "It's my fault."
"I didn't mean it." Realizing Henry was feeling guilty, Susan appeared to be softhearted, "Manuel was angry now, so I just suppose he would only give you deep freeze."
"It's true." Henry nodded his head quietly.
In fact, Susan always had pity on Henry in most cases for he was an orphan who would have a sense of inferiority. Hence, Susan was always trying to spare him any anxiety. She wanted him to live a happy life.
"Henry, I think you also need a rest in your room since you are injured as well. I need to sleep."
"Will it be OK to leave you alone?" Henry was still concerned.
"Yes, I'll be fine." Susan nodded her head.
Then, Henry left at ease. However, he put on a long face immediately as he turned around. Despite he was threatened by Manuel, he still could take much of advantages as long as Susan would back him up in time.
And that was enough.
Manuel was driving back with the useful leg. It was pouring hard outside which gave him a feeling of loneliness. So he slowed down.
His phone was ringing, and he picked it up. "Mom."
"How's Susan? Where are you now? Are you in the hospital?" An anxious sound came.
It was a late-night now and Justine might be too worried to fall asleep.
"Our child was aborted," Manuel said to her.
"What?!" Justine couldn't believe it.
"Yes, it's true. Susan is slightly injured and there is nothing serious. But she needs to stay in the hospital for recovery for a couple of weeks. So you'd better inform her father of this." Manuel said in a plain voice.
It was really hard to read her thoughts from his tone.
"Don't be sad Manuel. You are still young and you can have another one." Justine turned to be particularly tender all of a sudden. She was trying hard to control her emotion.
"I see." Manuel replied and hung up the phone.
No, they would never have a baby again. It was an accidental pregnancy, and they would not have such accidents anymore.
Manuel was suppressing his feelings because he didn't want to take them out on others. He had gotten used to it since he was a child when he had to bear all the things.
Susan had pity on Henry for his identity. But she would never know the misery of Manuel as an "illegitimate child". It was true that she didn't love him, or how she could ignore all of his sadness.
Justine told Edward about the abortion, so he immediately called his driver to take Justine, Tia and him to the hospital. He was taking Tia with them because Susan needed to be looked after in the hospital.
When they arrived there, they found Susan lying in the bed alone, feeling depressed. Edward was actually a bit angry when he heard about the news, but when he saw his daughter lying in the bed, he felt his heart break. He stepped up and asked, "Susan, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling alright?"
Susan looked at her father and then realized her expression fell when she realized Justine and Tia were also there.
"What are you coming for?"
"I come here to see my little girl since you are in the hospital for an abortion. How are you feeling now?" Edward asked with concern.
"I'm feeling great, and you may leave now." Susan appeared to be impatient.
She didn't want to see them since their appearance would remind her of the truth that she had just lost a baby again. She'd rather bear the sorrow herself than be talked about over and over again.
"What a child. How could it be possible for you to feel great right now? Abortion should have severe physical and mental impacts on you." Edward was comforting her with sincere words.
"Doctor said the operation was a success and there's nothing to worry about. I'm still young. Stop cursing at me!"
"Fine, fine. You are still young and will have babies. I just want to stay with you and give you comfort. You must be upset because of the abortion." Edward changed his tone to please her at once.
"I don't care about it. It is an unexpected child for me after all..."
"How cruel you are, Susan!" Justine couldn't bear it.
Susan bit her lip, staring at Justine with fierce eyes.
"You don't want that baby. But do you know how eager we are for its coming? How your father and I are longing for its birth! And Manuel. Do you know how he came to the hospital? He drove alone to see you on such a rainy day! Do you know how fast he drove with his injured leg? His car sped away from my version in just a few seconds! How could you be so cold-blooded?" Justine was fed up with it.
She was comforting herself to stay calm when they left home since Susan must be in a bad mood. Besides, abortion was harmful to Susan body, so she decided to restrain her feelings and not take them out on her.
However, it seemed her worries meant nothing when hearing Susan's cold words.
Susan's eyes were filled with tears when she was scolded by Justine.
