Of course, Greg knew that what Joe said was right. In fact, he didn't really intend to compete with Leona for the custody of the child. He said that just to annoy her.
Looking at Greg, who was silent, Joe sighed and thought, "It's obvious they are in love. Why bother?" No one else could help with this kind of thing, but they had to solve their own problems.
Coming out of the bar, Greg separated from Joe and drove aimlessly on the street alone, like a homeless child. He didn't know where to go?
The phone rang. He picked it up and found it was from Rona. He answered the phone, "Rona, it's so late. Why don't you go to bed?"
"Well, I can't fall asleep. The apartment is empty and I'm a little scared. Where are you?" Rona's soft voice came through the phone.
"I'm meeting a client." Greg lied subconsciously. It was midnight now. How could he meet a client at this time?
"Well, I won't bother you anymore. See you tomorrow." Disappointment could be seen in Rona's tone. She knew that Greg was lying. As his secretary, she knew his schedule very well, but she couldn't expose his lie.
Looking at the empty room, Greg should be with that Leona, right? Rona bit the quilt hard, with resentment in her eyes.
She dialed another number, and it was soon connected. Rona said, "Have you finished the test result? Okay, I'll transfer the money to your account. You can do one more thing for me in a few days, and then you can take the money to go abroad for further study. "
After hanging up the phone, Greg looked at the bustling city at midnight. There was no place for him to live in such a big city. He wondered how the woman was now.
Thinking of the stubborn little face of Leona, Greg couldn't help but thump the steering wheel hard. He was angry with her, but angrier with himself. She had disliked him so much, but he still couldn't help thinking of that damn woman. Even he looked down upon himself.
Finally, Greg turned around and drove towards the company. Since he couldn't fall asleep, he didn't need to sleep. There were still a lot of work to deal with in the company. If he guessed right, it was almost the end of the business in Europe. He had to prepare well before that.
In the hospital, after Leona coaxed her son to sleep, she lay on the accompanying bed. The cold temperature made her pull the quilt under her neck and wrap herself tightly.
Why didn't she know it was so cold here before? During this period of time, she had been accompanied by Greg every night. Now she was suddenly left alone, which made her toss and turn and unable to sleep. Should he be with his ex-girlfriend now?
Facing the empty room, Leona sighed and forced herself to fall asleep, but the quilt was really cold...
On the second day, Greg came to the hospital. Today was the day when Rona's test result came out. He was very concerned about it and didn't want anything bad to happen to her body again.
She came to Joe's office and said, "This is Rona's test report. Although her operation was very successful, there are still suspicious malignant cells inside." Joe pushed the test report forward.
