Chapter 156 What Child? I Don’t Understand
He pursed his lips tightly and said in a flat tone, “I can’t answer that.”
Megan was at a loss for words. “You…”
“I suddenly realized that there is no other candidate.” He chuckled. “Aren’t you leaving in a month? Let’s reconsider it.”
The phone rang.
It came from Megan’s pocket.
He glanced at the screen and saw that it was a call from Vada. “Pick it up first.
We’ll talk after that.”
She really wanted to tell him immediately that there was nothing to talk about, but her phone buzzed, which made her panic.
She swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue and pressed the call button.
“Vada?”
“Hey, Megan, why did it take you so long to pick up the phone? I’m so worried! Our obstetrics expert is here. I told her about your situation, and she asked me to tell you that you’re in a very dangerous situation. You must come to the hospital as soon as possible! Don’t worry about Leo. At worst, just pay him the 2 million dollars of compensation. I’ll ask my friends to help you, but life is not a joke. Come back quickly, okay?”
“Well, okay, I’m on my way back to the city. I’ll arrive at your hospital in about
two hours.”
“Okay, let me tell you, this expert is amazing. She is the most authoritative obstetrician in the country. Many people couldn’t make an appointment with her at all. I got an appointment for you only after mentioning my father’s
name.”
“Okay, thank you, Vada. I… Ah!”
The car braked suddenly, and Yvonne’s phone almost flew out of her ear.
She grabbed her phone in a flurry and looked ahead. This place was still very far away from the city. There were no other cars on the road at all. There was
no need to brake so suddenly.
But in the driver’s seat next to her, Leo’s burning gaze made her unable to ignore it.
Hearing her exclamation on the phone, Vada hurriedly asked, “Megan? Megan, what’s wrong with you? Are you all right? Hurry up and talk to me. Don’t scare me!”
“I’m fine.” She bit her lip. “Vada, see you at the hospital later. I have to go now.”
“Don’t hang up!”
It wasn’t Vada who said that but Leo.
His voice was like a storm, gradually pressing down on her.
He took the phone from her hand. Subconsciously, she wanted to snatch it back, but he easily avoided her. She watched helplessly as he pressed the speaker button.
Vada was still screaming at a high pitch, “What’s wrong with you, Megan?! Do you need me to call an ambulance for you…”
“Vada,” Leo called out, but his eyes were fixed on her face. “Whose child is it?”
“Leo? Give the phone back to Megan! Are you a robber?”
“Answer me!”
“What child? I don’t understand,” said Vada hatefully.
“You made an appointment with a gynecologist for her. I’m not deaf.”
“Paul’s?”
“Or Shane’s?”
“Leo, are you crazy? How could it be the trash Shane?”
