Chapter 494
As expected, Isabella was very happy to see me and gave me a list when she got close enough. ‘How insensitive you are, coming back without even letting me know. What an unreliable friend.
‘I just wanted to surprise you!’
‘Speaking of which, did you bring me a present?’
‘I did. Won’t you kill me if I don’t?
‘I’m glad you know that. Let’s get in quickly, and after dinner we’ll go to your house to get the gifts.’
Dishes were ordered to my liking, but I didn’t have much of an appetite. When Dylan went to the bathroom, Isabella seized the opportunity and whispered, ‘I hear Carson made a lot of money this time, and both he and that Job*tch are very proud. That night, when I was having dinner, I saw her in a VIP room and then Carson’s car in the parking lot. Looks like they are getting bolder now. By the way, Jolene has been driving a car worth over half a million recently and has even moved into an apartment that costs over two million. I think she got all that money from Carson.
‘Whatever, let them have some fun, because they’ll have problems later,’ I said nonchalantly, completely indifferently.
‘Eric agreed to help you?’
‘Yes.’
‘You played the badger game at the right time.’
‘Hold your tongue,’ I warned, shooting her a look because Dylan had returned, and I didn’t want her to be talking nonsense. When she saw him back at the table, she immediately clamped her mouth shut.
After dinner, Isabella fussed over the presents. Consequently, we drove over to my house and I handed her the perfume, bag and clothes I bought for her, bringing a bright smile to her face.
As for Dylan, he really liked the combat knife and lighter, and I also gave him the sports watch.
I later went back to the hospital after they left and sent my mother and Mrs. Fant home, as I would be there to accompany my father. Seeing how determined I was, they decided to go home. While I was watching the news with my dad in bed and me on the couch. Eric’s message came, ‘What are you doing?’
I’m at the hospital with my dad. And you?’
‘I’m alone at home.’
Thinking of Beverly, I casually asked, ‘How’s Beverly doing?’
‘She’s just finished her surgery and Sharon is with her at the hospital,’ he replied. Then he added, I miss you, Lilian. Do you
miss me?’
‘Unlikely!’
‘You have no heart, he texted, ending the text with a sad face emoji.
After I ignored his last message, another came: ‘Send me Mr. Hawkins and I will ask the Aldovia doctors for their opinion to assess the situation.’
Moved by her enthusiasm, I agreed, ‘Okay, I’ll fax it to you tomorrow.’
‘Do I get a reward for my effort?’ That was how he was – already asking for a reward when nothing had been done yet.
Still, I couldn’t help but smile. ‘How insensitive can you be? Asking for a reward for such a small thing?
‘Oh, you are so mean. By the way, I intend to return the day after tomorrow. Don’t forget to pick me up.
“We’ll talk about it when that day comes.”
‘I’m just warning you in advance so you don’t find an excuse until then. Day after tomorrow, I will specifically remind you again.’
‘What if I’m not free?’
‘Find out for yourself, but let me tell you this, if you don’t want to be picked on again then be a good girl
