Betrayed and Gone My Hockey Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42 

After a rainstorm last night, the sun rose from the cast with its full glory, illuminating the world brightly. The pleasant sun in the cold morning made me feel refreshed, I was eager to work with a clear mind as I came to the office. 

As usual, there was a heap of files and proposals on my desk. Echo informed me about my 

schedule. 

“We have a meeting with Mr. Leo’s sponsors in the afternoon.“. 

As the hockey season was in full bloom, sponsors had requested to discuss media strategy. I didn’t pay much attention to it and focused on the heaps of pending files. Then I went to attend the meeting at our fixed time later. 

But Mr. Leo was late! 

As his manager, his absence created issues for me. As soon as I entered the conference hall, the company representatives fired off multiple questions in quick succession. 

“Where is Leo, Miss Becker? Didn’t you inform him? When will he come?” 

Leo was undoubtedly a punctual man, giving prime importance to his business every time. His questionable disappearance also confused me. So, I asked my assistant. 

“Contact Mr. Leo’s assistant, Brandon. 

Why hasn’t he arrived yet?” 

Brandon forgot to deliver me Leo’s message and at that crucial moment, he scratched his ear nervously. 

“Mr. Leo had taken sick leave due to high fever, ma’am. He is unavailable now.” 

Sick leave? 

It was the preference of every athlete to maintain his health and fitness. And due to his strong immunity system, Leo rarely contracted any illness. Then all of a sudden, how coine he fell ill?

However, it was none of my business! 

Since he had already signed all the follow–up projects, he would pay the penalty himself because of breaching the contract. 

The meeting got canceled, and the sponsors didn’t appear happy due to this predicament. So, Brandon suggested it to me. 

“Ma’am, you must go to investigate this matter. It’s so unlikely of Mr. Leo.” 

Why should I go? 

I was about to snap at my assistant when my cell phone rang, I excused myself to see my brother’s name flashing on the screen.. 

Henry told me. “I have found a doctor you were looking for, Laura!” 

Whoa! 

This breaking news immediately overwhelmed me with a rush of emotions as I found myself burning with a fire of revenge. The feeling of being closer to my ultimate destination took over my mind, making me forget everything else. 

I picked up my bag and rushed to meet my brother. Henry had arranged a special meeting with Doctor Max from the village. More precisely, he was admitted to a small clinic. Henry’s assistant was standing outside the room’s door when I reached there. 

“Doctor Max is ready to talk to you, Miss Becker.” 

I could only nod in response as the urgency to see the key witness hastened my steps, I barged into the room without knocking. 

“Doctor Max?” 

The skeletal figure lying on the bed was definitely the worst version of that village doctor as the paleness on his old face made him look like a patient. That healthy man was turned into an oldie in just a few years, 

I found it difficult to recognize him right away, Doctor Max also refused to accept that I was the same Laura Green from the past simultaneously. He spoke suspiciously.

“Prove it that you are Laura. Tell me your blood group!” 

His medical query made me chuckle, it was quite natural to not acknowledge my presence because of a drastic change in my appearance. 

I dragged a chair and sat on it, responding to him professionally. 

“AB- is my blood group. Doctor Max. You told me that I fell into a coma due to excessive 

blood loss.” 

As my blood group was rare, that ordinary village infirmary couldn’t receive the ordered. blood from the blood bank back then. The haze of suspicion cleared as Doctor Max’s shoulders slouched, he took a deep breath. 

“Indeed, I told you that!” 

The heaviness of his tone hung in the air as he stared at me intently and spoke. 

“As you can see that I am seriously ill, I would like to share with you that the doctors have diagnosed me with cancer. 

But unfortunately…” 

His round eyes sparkled with tears as he sniffled, playing the pity game. 

“I am just an ordinary doctor who can’t afford expensive treatment, 

The doctors have assured me 

Doctor Max’s long report about his illness ran me out of patience. I cut him off mid–sentence impatiently. 

“I am not interested in your life dilemma. I need my reports from three years ago.” 

My wounds, internal trauma, my pregnancy, everything!” 

I dug my hand in my purse/as a sly smile appeared on Doctor Max’s wrinkled face, he spoke like a negotiator. 

“Just written reports?

I can give you a mind–blowing secret about your pregnancy. But… 

He deliberately kept his sentence incomplete to elongate the suspense, testing my patience. Then he continued his statement after a small pause. 

“But everything comes with a price, Laura. Give me ten million dollars, and I will provide you with all the records and secrets.” 

After demanding money like a businessman, he began to sob piteously.
