No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 197

Speaking without thinking, that's a real problem.

As soon as the words left my mouth, I realized I'd stepped in it big time. I was scrambling to think of a way to smooth things over when Ernest just said, "Okay."

Wait, what? He agreed? Just like that? No making a fuss to save face? No macho refusal to borrow money from me?

But Ernest didn't refuse. He must really be strapped for cash. He probably really wants to get his sister the help she needs. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for the guy.

That feeling flashed by, and I immediately knew it was out of place. I cleared my throat, "Has your sister seen a doctor? If you have any medical records, give them to me. I might know someone who can help."

"Sure," he agreed.

Well, that left me with nothing more to say. So, I got up, saying, "Thanks for today. I'm heading out."

He looked at me, replying, "If you're feeling unwell again, give me a call."

"Yeah, sure," I replied with a smile, turning around and letting out a silent sigh of relief.

Feeling cared for like this was unexpectedly stressful.

Back home, I leaned against the door, trying to catch my breath and calm my emotions. Before I could fully recover, my phone started buzzing like crazy. I walked back to my bedroom to pick it up and saw it was a call from Conrad.

I had no idea why he was calling, and frankly, I wasn't in the mood to listen to anything he had to say. Gross.

The call ended on its own, and that's when I noticed there were over twenty missed calls, all from Conrad except for one from Ivan.

No need to ask. Ivan's call was probably Conrad's doing too.

With him calling non-stop, he must have something important to say. So, when he called again, I answered, "Hello?"

"Felicia, where are you? I want to see you," Conrad's voice was filled with anguish, and it sounded like he was drunk.

I ignored him, and he chuckled bitterly, "Right, you don't want me anymore."
