Need You Now novel Chapter 101

When Heidy arrived at the hospital, she took the flowers in her hands and came to check on Gavin. She hadn't come to visit him again since he woke up. Thinking of her conversation with Hearst this morning, she lowered her eyes. Eventually, she decided not to forgive him easily and started over again. She was a little restless about something.

In the ward, Gavin was sitting on the bed and setting his eyes on the beautiful scene outside the window. Taking a step forward, Heidy put the flowers in front of him and said, "Gavin, I come to see you."

When Gavin heard the voice, he looked up at her in surprise. Then, as if remembering something, he pretended to be calm and said, "You are here."

Heidy put the flowers in a vase. Then she sat on the edge of the bed and asked, "Gavin, how are you feeling today?"

Gavin raised his chin in an arrogant manner, and said, "Of course, I won't be defeated by the diseases."

Hearing his words, Heidy touched his hair and said in a spoiled tone, "Our Gavin is the best. After you leave the hospital, I will take you to have a big meal."

Fixing his eyes on Heidy, who spoke excitedly in the bottom of her heart, Gavin felt warmth when he heard that she said "Our Gavin". "Do you want to thank me for not wronging you? Although I hate you, I am a good child. A good child doesn't lie," Gavin said, as if he just wanted to tell the truth and he didn't try to help her.

Caressing his head, Heidy smiled lovingly, "I always know that you are a good child."

Feeling the warmth of her palm, Gavin's face turned red. He said arrogantly, "Don't touch my head. Or else, I will not be able grow taller."

With a bright smile, Heidy said happily, "Your genes are very good. You will become a tall and handsome man in the future. Gavin, I feel satisfied to see that you are healthy and strong. A few days ago, I was really worried that you would not wake up. Now, nightmares are finally over."

When Gavin looked at her, he said, "Daddy said that Aunt Annie had used me. In this way, daddy would think that you were a bad person. Well, I'm sorry..." Although he didn't want to call her aunt, he couldn't call her as his mother.

Shaking her head, she replied calmly, "Nothing. It's all over. The most important thing is that you are safe and sound. It was Annie who took advantage of your trust in her."

When Gavin thought of Annie, he lowered his head, looking extremely sad. Until now, it was still difficult for him to believe that Annie wanted to kill him. Every time he thought of it, he felt a little sad. All of a sudden, something came to her mind. Turning to her, he asked hesitantly, "Will you leave daddy?"

She looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect such an answer from him. Being stunned for a few seconds, Heidy replied in a low voice, "Yes."

When he heard the answer, the smile on his face slowly faded away. He lowered her eyes and entwined his fingers more tightly, with obvious loneliness.

Having noticed the change of his mood, Heidy put her hand on his shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Gavin, what's wrong?"

Lifting his hand, Gavin pushed her hand away. Turning around, he said sulkily, "Leave me alone."

With her in the air, Heidy looked at him in surprise. Feeling his depression, Heidy said in hesitation, "Gavin, don't you want me to separate from your father?"

Hearing this, Gavin raised his head and looked at her with his eyes turning red. "I didn't have my mother before. Now I have my mother, but she abandoned me. You are bad. I hate you."

Looking at his red and obstinate eyes, she suddenly felt sorry for him. This child grew up without mother's love, but now he still had to be abandoned. He didn't have a good childhood, did he? She looked down at her belly and felt a heartache.

Heidy hesitated for a while. She took his hand and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Gavin. I was too selfish. I never thought about your feelings."

Sulkily, Gavin turned his head away. Without turning to her, he puckered his lips in order to reveal his inner feeling. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Heidy didn't force him and just held his hand.

The next day, Heidy was heading to the development area of Jing City. The construction of the development area of the city would be completed in half a month. Today, Heidy went to make a routine inspection of the project. She looked out of the window. In silence, she reminded what had happened yesterday in the hospital.

The baby in her belly didn't seem to exist, but it was really alive. Imagining that after her child was born, somehow, she felt sad. She thought of herself. Her mother passed away when she was little. In her eyes, the word "mother" was strange.

Sometimes, there would be children laughing at her and saying that she had no mother. Therefore, she fought with others. But she was too weak to fight against them. Every time they came home, she was beaten black and blue. At that time, her father always told her that he would give her love more than anyone could do. Then she met Jessica, who had studied judo since primary school. She always protected Heidy from being bullied.
