Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 189

Scarlett's POV:

When it was almost noon, I was at a meeting when I suddenly received a call from Charles. I just glanced at it before hanging up on him.

And the second I rejected his call, he called me again. After a moment of hesitation, I walked out of the meeting room to answer the call.

"Scarlett, I'm with James right now... I think it's a fever..." Charles spluttered from the other end of the line.

"What? Where are you?"

"We're in the hospital," he said.

"Okay. Hold on. I'll be right there."

I told my colleague about the situation and hurried to the hospital.

But when I arrived at the hospital, I found out that Charles was actually the one who had a fever.

"Why didn't you make it clear to me?" I asked, visibly infuriated.

Weakly, Charles leaned against the bedside and replied, "You hung up before I could finish my sentence."

"Why are you bringing our child with you when you have a fever?" I asked.

Charles coughed. The mere sound of his voice made him appear weary. "This morning, just before I could go out, James grabbed my hand; he cried, and wouldn't let go, so I had to take him to the company."

I glanced at James, noticing that he was asleep, and gently held him up.

"Well, considering that you're sick right now, it's bestthatltakejameswithme,lestyouinfecthim."

I was about to walk out, but Charles stopped me. "Why did you leave so early this morning?" He stared at me with forlorn eyes. "You know that I have a fever, and yet you still want to just leave. It's like you don't even care about me."

"I'm busy," I responded listlessly.

Instead of looking at Charles, I turned to Richard. "Richard, stay here and look after him."

Richard nodded in agreement. Then, I left along with my baby.

As soon as I arrived at the hospital hall, I bumped into Lily. I noticed that she looked quite pale. It was then that I remembered that Charles mentioned Lily had a miscarriage just the other day.

Lily stood in front of me and said, "Do you think I deserved what happened to me?"

I took a few steps back, and held James tighter.

"My child may be gone, but I haven't lost yet. My war with Rita has just begun. No matter the cost, I'm going to make her pay," she continued.

"I'm not interested in your business," I told her as I shielded my child away from her.

Lily suddenly bent down, covering her belly with her hands. "This is all Rita's fault, and Nate's!"

Seeing that she was getting more and more agitated, I said to her, "Lily, if you're not feeling well, you should go see a doctor."

Lily was stupefied by my words and she looked at me with a blank stare.

Not wanting to talk to her anymore, I left with Janet and Tracy.

Lily's POV:

When I saw the cute baby in Scarlett's arms, I subconsciously touched my flat belly and it made my heart ache.

If my child were still alive, he would've been just as cute as hers.

But now, I had lost everything, all because of Rita and Nate.
