Damien knew Bethany was only doing this to gain Caleb’s trust and form a better relationship with him. Therefore, he didn’t interfere. He only gave Mrs. Faber ten thousand dollars for her to use for the check-up. He also got the driver to drive them to Bethany’s hospital.
At the hospital, Bethany did an ultrasound for Mrs. Faber.
Bethany looked seriously through the report. “Mrs. Faber, you have pelvic ascites. You can choose to take medication for it, or undergo a small surgery. Which would you prefer?”
“Will the surgery hurt?” Mrs. Faber asked Bethany childishly.
“We’ll anesthetize you, so it won’t hurt. You’ll just have to rest a few days at home afterward. I’ll talk to Mr. Lawrence about it,” Bethany said kindly.
“That’s alright. Mr. Lawrence is very reasonable. He’ll understand.”
Bethany’s lips thinned. “Would reasonable people marry someone else out of nowhere?”
“I don’t know about that. All I know is that Mr. Lawrence went over to Florin for a bit.”
The more they spoke of this, the more angry Bethany got. Damien must’ve gone over to Florin to get the marriage registered. However, she had to act well-behaved before Mrs. Faber, so she didn’t say much. She definitely couldn’t burst out swearing.
As Bethany performed the surgery for Mrs. Faber, she had been meticulous, caring, and gentle.
After the surgery was done, Mrs. Faber was resting in a bed when her phone rang. Caleb was video calling her.
The mother and son were very with each other, and they frequently made video calls to each other.
Mrs. Faber was taken aback for a while. She told Bethany, “I didn’t expect Caleb to call me now. If he asks, you have to tell him that it’s nothing major. Otherwise, he’ll be very worried.”
Bethany was very touched. If her guess was right, she would be getting Caleb’s Whatsapp soon.
