In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 176

He raised his eyebrows. “The tickets to K City for the evening have already been booked. Have you forgotten?”

If he had not brought this up, I definitely would have forgotten.

I was dumbfounded for a moment and then I asked, “What must I bring with me?”

“Nothing!” He put his arm around my waist. “Joseph has arranged everything. We’ll be staying for a few days. I’ll bring you to meet Aunt Sally!”

“Should we go for another check-up?” The baby is almost seven months old. It didn’t develop so well in the early stages. Since we are not familiar with K City, would it not be better to do a check-up before we leave?

Perhaps he knew what bothered me as he said, “Dr. Ludwick has arranged for an obstetrician and gynecologist to come with us. I have also arranged for a doctor in K City, so don’t worry.”

I just nodded and thought for a while, “Macy and Dr. Crest are still in the hospital. When we go off, who will take care of them?”

“Jared has recuperated well. He just has to stay in the hospital for a few more days. The doctor for Macy said that she can be discharged. If you are worried about her, let her come with us.” He had thought of everything so well that I was at a loss for words for a while.

After pondering over it, I asked, “Shall we not go to the family home and say goodbye to Uncle Charlie and Aunt Helen?”

He stopped talking and looked at me. His dark eyes gazed at me for a long time and then he asked, “Scarlett, you don’t want to go to K City, do you?”

I was stunned and shook my head. “No, it’s just that I’m used to staying here in J City. It’s basically strange to go to K City. Besides, I don’t sleep well now. I’m afraid it’s going to get worse in K City.”

I didn’t like it and I didn’t want to go. Rebecca’s biological parents were both there and their power and authority were based there. I had a bad omen that I might get blown up in bits if I go there.

“I have contacted the doctor. This time I won’t be there for a long time, at most one month. After seeing Aunt Sally and the doctor, we’ll come back. We won’t stay for long. You are not well and you need treatment, both for you and for the child. I know that Dr. Kane is with you but both of you are friends. A doctor’s judgement may be affected by personal emotions!”

He said this in a very sincere tone so I didn’t and couldn’t deny it.

Looking down at the palm of my hand, I nodded, “Well, I’ll go with your arrangements! What time is the flight tonight?” Later, I would go and see Macy and Jackson. We summoned Jackson back from afar so, I definitely couldn’t go off to K City without seeing him.

“Six o’clock!”

I nodded and said plainly, “In a while, I shall go to see Macy.”

“I’ll go with you!”

I thought of refusing him. Then, I remembered that he needed to see Jared, so I didn’t say anything.
