In the shopping mall…
Annie chose dozens of clothes in one go. She turned around and said, “Phoebe, how does this dress look?”
Phone looked towards her absent-mindedly and forced a smile, “It’s good.”
Annie said to the shopping assistant, “Pack this one too, thanks.”
“Okay.”
When the shopping assistant took the clothes Annie picked to print the bill, Annie looked towards Phoebe, “Phoebe, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
Phoebe replied, “Nothing. I’m just thinking that since we’re going shopping now, should we buy some gifts for Ms. Radomil?”
Annie felt impatient when she heard Stella’s name, “Phoebe, you saw it today. That woman is so wretched. You’re good to her, but she doesn’t cherish your kindness at all.”
Phoebe smiled, “It’s her own business no matter whether she wants to appreciate my kindness or not. I’m just doing what I should do. Moreover, she’s pregnant with Clarence’s child and it somehow has something to do with me. I can ignore it, right?”
“Are you going to raise that woman’s child?” Annie murmured, “I doubt whether she can deliver that little bastard or not.”
Phoebe simply kept her head lowered. When she heard Annie’s words, she curled her lips into an inexplicable smile, “All right, Annie. You’ve bought many clothes. Let’s pay a visit to Rebecca. I guess you haven’t met her ever since she delivered the baby, right?”
Annie felt guilt-stricken when mentioning this. She forced a smile, “I suddenly remember that my parents asked me to come back today. You can visit her yourself. I can’t go with you.”
Annie left hurriedly after finishing the words.
Phoebe watched her leaving until she disappeared in her vision. There was a touch of coldness in her eyes.
…
In the ward…
Phoebe saw Rebecca sitting on the bed and was lost in her thoughts. But she didn’t know what she was thinking.
She put down the flowers and walked over, “Rebecca, what are you thinking? Where’s the baby?”
Rebecca came to her senses, “My mom takes the baby to have a check-up.”
She then asked, “Phoebe, are you free today?”
“I don’t have too many matters to deal with today. I went to the Conrad family just now and went shopping with Annie. Then I came to see you.”
When mentioning the Conrad family, a touch of hesitation and struggle flashed across Rebecca’s eyes.
Noticing that she wanted to say something, Phoebe sat beside her and asked in a gentle voice, “Rebecca, what’s wrong?”
Rebecca bit her lower lip and held up Phoebe’s hand, “Phoebe, I don’t know to which I can pour out my troubles. Do keep it a secret for me.”
Phoebe nodded her head, “Rebecca, please rest assured.”
After hesitating for a while, Rebecca finally spoke. It was not a glory thing after all.
She kept down her voice, “Do you remember that Clarence’s ex-wife fell into the water at Mrs. Conrad’s birthday party?”
