Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1099

“That won’t be necessary. Why call him? It’s not like he’s not coming.” Again, she turned her back toward him and sulked.

Solomon silently let out a sigh of relief.

Her reaction amused him, though.

To see this lady getting down off her high horse for once was, indeed, a rare sight.

Yet, the bad news that echoed in his brain cut that short moment of glee shorter. He almost smiled, but his sorrow pulled the corners of his mouth back down.

“Whatever rocks your boat. Is there anything you want me to tell him? He should be here soon, I think.”

“I couldn’t care less.”

She went on munching her apple and responded in a coldly contemptuous tone.

“Um…”

Solomon didn’t know what to say. He turned away, and with his pale fingers gripping his wheelchair’s armrests tightly, he asked to be pushed out of the room.

After exiting the room, the man pushing him gave in to curiosity and asked, “Mr. George, is Ms. Hayes going to stay here till the baby is born?”

“If not?” Solomon knitted his brows.

“Under our current circumstances, what would happen if you let her loose? Will she be able to handle the fact that the father to her child is no longer alive? Please be reminded that she isn’t in a stable condition right now.”

Solomon sank deep into thoughts and didn’t utter a word.

Seeing this, the man stopped talking.

Maybe he’s right. This is the best way to protect the mother and the child.

Over in Zarain, Sebastian planned to release the news of Devin’s death only after the baby was born.

However, he didn’t expect the damage done to Jonathan would be so severe that the latter was still in a life-threatening state even after the operation.

“Mr. Hayes, we’ve given our best. Mr. Jadeson has had a heart attack previously, and the recent shocking news only dented his health further. He’s extremely blessed to still be alive.”

Jonathan’s primary surgeon was a reliable doctor from the embassy whom Sebastian appointed upon arriving here.

He was as straight as a die.

After listening to the surgeon’s explanation, Sebastian looked at the unconscious old man with all sorts of needles and tubes sticking into him. This additional shock to his previous trauma almost squeezed his life out of him.

“Uh… S-so… what would become of him?”

“He might be bedridden for the rest of his life.”
