Chapter 155- risk
After the black Bugatti Veyron sped away, Manfred stepped out, walking over to the car. He picked up the items that had just fallen, a bittersweet smile tugging at his lips. To have been able to stay by her side for so many days — that was already enough.
He smoothly propped the car door open and jumped into his modest convertible. Raising his sunglasses, Manfred followed Charles’s car, driving off in pursuit.
"It’s me. I’ll head back to the city first. Keep an eye on the resort area, and once you’re done, bring me the design plans for review. Alright, I’m hanging up!"
Charles put on his Bluetooth headset and made a call. Janet had no idea he was calling Amos, nor that he had already purchased all the land around where she was staying — because everything he promised her, he would make happen.
The journey passed in silence, both of them lost in their own turmoil. Neither spoke until two hours later, when the car finally stopped at A City’s most prestigious private hospital. Janet kept her eyes closed, letting Charles carry her out of the car.
The moment she entered the hospital, the sharp scent of disinfectant immediately hit her senses. Fear compelled her to open her eyes. Even if she couldn’t see anything, keeping them open gave her a small sense of safety.
"Charles, why did you bring me to the hospital? Can we just go home? Please, let me go home with you!" Janet’s wide eyes were filled with anxiety and dread. She sensed he had found out something, but this was not what she wanted.
She didn’t want to stay in the hospital, didn’t want to hear doctors urging her to have surgery immediately. All she wanted was the child growing inside her.
"Put me down, I don’t want to be here!" Janet struggled in his arms, but Charles tightened his grip and carried her up to the third floor. He had already informed the hospital director on the way here, so upon their arrival, the middle-aged director had arranged everything according to Charles’s wishes.
Ignoring Janet’s protests, Charles carried her straight into the neurology department. The hospital — and indeed the whole city of A — had the most authoritative brain specialist summoned by him for further examination.
