Unexpected Encounter with my Boss (Vincent and Tiffany) novel Chapter 183

Screams could be heard from the crowd below.

"Eric!" Teresa shrieked as she crumpled to the ground in fear.

Eric looked at her without saying anything.

After a long silence, Teresa finally said, "Come down. I promise I won't abort the baby."

"Really? Are you really going to keep our baby, Teri? Are you willing to give me a chance? Are you going to forgive me?" Eric eagerly asked.

Teresa nodded defeatedly before repeating, "Come down from there."

"Okay. I'll come right down," Eric said as he placed his free hand on the railing again.

The police officer hurried over to help him back to safety. But just then, the rusty railing gave way, breaking off with a crack.

Losing the support of the railing, Eric slipped off the building.

"Argh!" he howled at the top of his lungs.

Luckily for him, a police officer grabbed his arm just in time. The only thing that fell was a piece of the rusty railing.

Eric looked down at it, feeling so terrified that his legs turned to jelly. He was immensely glad that it was the railing that fell instead of him. Otherwise, he would've died from the impact.

Once the police officers pulled him up, Eric scrambled over to Teresa and hugged her before crying his heart out.

…

After all that commotion, everyone cleared off, and the patients returned to their wards.

Teresa was sitting in bed. Even though the room was warm, and she was all covered up under the blanket, she was still shivering hard. She looked even paler now.

Eric poured her a cup of warm water and said, "Here, Teri. Have some warm water. It'll warm you right up."

However, as soon as he brought the cup to Teresa, Tiffany pushed it away. "Get lost!"

"Oh…" Eric stuffed the cigarette back into the box. "I forgot about that."

Vincent eyed him coolly and asked, "Are you the one responsible for all those bruises on Teresa's face?"

Sneering, Vincent questioned, "Is it still normal when your wife needs to be hospitalized?"

Eric could tell that Vincent thought poorly of him.

"I have to pay for all the expenses, and I even have to pay for our housing loan. I'm under a lot of pressure," Eric declared.

With an emotionless expression, Vincent silently listened to Eric's pathetic attempt at making himself seem more sympathetic.
