Regarding Xavia being pregnant, Gerald wasn’t too sure about that. However, it wasn’t too hard for him to imagine her plotting up such a lie. He could deal with her later.
For now, Gerald simply wanted Mila not to misunderstand him anymore.
“Alright, I can sense that you’re not lying. I’ll try to advise Mila on this. You’d better not be feeding us any lies. Do you know how much Mila hates being lied to?”
Despite having only a brief conversation with him, Molly was near certain that Gerald wasn’t the kind of reckless or flirtatious rich hair. On the contrary, he seemed to be quite a nice and friendly man.
If he was honestly saying the truth, then Molly was definitely willing to help him out.
Hence, as Molly returned to Mila’s bedroom, Gerald remained downstairs.
A short while later however, she came down again before saying with a sigh, “I’m sorry, but I can’t help you Gerald. Mila simply refuses to listen to me… She doesn’t even want to see you at all. I’m afraid you’ve hurt her too much this time. You’d better leave for now…”
After saying that, she returned upstairs.
Gerald could only sigh in response. He was filled with grief.
He had always yearned for Mila to return. Now that she was back, they had met during such terrible timing.
At that moment, Gerald’s phone began ringing. It was a call from Queta.
“What’s wrong, Queta?” asked Gerald as he felt a gentle smile form on his face. After all, he had always treated her just like his younger sister.
“Mr. Crawford, I’m not Queta. I’m Lisa, her colleague. We’ve met before!” said the girl on the other end of the line.
However, something about her tone hinted that something urgent was up.
“I remember you. What’s wrong?” asked Gerald immediately.
“It’s Queta. Something’s happened to her and she’s now in the hospital!” explained Lisa, her voice more anxious than before.
