Rowan exited the hospital premises with determined steps. She found herself standing by the roadside, patting her bag, only to recollect that she had left her small bag in David's family study while assisting Flora in a rush to get to the hospital. Inside that bag were her mobile phone and wallet. She stood there, bewildered and uncertain about her next move.She was fully aware that a simple turn and a word to Father David would have ensured someone fetch her belongings and escort her home. However, the thought of reentering the hospital filled her with reluctance.She mulled over her recent promise, questioning its validity, and after a significant pause, she gathered the courage to make a decision. Returning now would be an admission that her commitment was unfounded.Abruptly, she halted, hailed a passing taxi from the roadside, and after a brief negotiation with the driver to ensure they could reach her intended destination, she went upstairs to collect the fare. It took a few tr
Three TrialsThe four of them sat around on the sofa at Rowan's house. No, it should be said that the three people were sitting across from Rowan, their postures as cautious as if they were preparing for a three-party trial.Ryan has been coaxed to sleep early, and now it’s time to settle accounts after the fall.Rowan smiled, trying to lighten the atmosphere."Don't make it as exaggerated as a criminal trial. I just came back a little late. There are so many things that need to be explained."Steve just wanted to accompany Ryan's. In fact, he didn't care much about what Rown had gone through and why he came home late.In his opinion, everyone is an adult and there is no need to reveal everything. James and Jessica are too protective of her.So when he heard Rowan's words, he nodded in agreement, "Yes, the sun hadn't even set when she came back. Even if she is a minor, she doesn't have such an early curfew, right?"Jessica glared at him.He shut up immediately.Jessica turned around
196 Do you know him?When David stepped into the ward, Flora had already woken up.The fall was indeed painful, but it wouldn’t be serious.She had an idea and wanted to put the blame on Rowan to make her and the David family more unhappy. She didn't really want to make a joke with her own life.She "woke up" once last night when she was pushed from the emergency room to the ward.At that time, David was standing beside the bed, gently covering her up with the quilt.She opened her eyes weakly and saw David s figure beside the bed. With tears in her eyes, she softly called his name. "David"David carefully helped her tuck the quilt at the end of the bed, then turned around and said softly "Hmm".When she heard his gentle tone, her eyes felt even more wronged, and tears were hanging in the corners of her eyes.He asked with a trembling voice, "David, is our child okay?"David reached out his hand and helped her push away a few strands of hair hanging in front of her ears, and gently w
The accumulated doubts in my heart She can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, so it’s not a serious injury, so Rowan doesn’t even deserve to be reprimanded. After repeated attempts failed, Flora slowly felt angry. She struggled to sit up from the bed. David frowned, "What are you going to do?" She said in a self-defeating tone, "Since the doctor said it's not serious, it doesn't matter if I sit down for a while. Why are you so nervous again?" He opened his mouth, then closed it again. He walked to the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand to wrap around her shoulders, and leaned down to help her adjust the position of the pillow so that she could rest comfortably against the head of the bed. "Is this okay?" he asked. "Thanks." Flora's sudden anger made David frown even deeper. It was almost time to leave. There was an important meeting waiting for him to chair in the morning. So he kept it short. "Don't be like this, there is nothing to be angry about. If you get
Don’t know him "I want to ask you this question. Are the people I spent the night with at the hotel last time?" Flora smiled awkwardly, "Who else could it be if it wasn't me? Didn't we go home together the next day!" Her hands under the quilt were trembling. "I always thought so before." David continued, "Until I watched the hotel surveillance video." This time she was truly shocked. "Did you check the surveillance system?" She felt like she wanted to scream loudly, and it took all her life to hold back. Her chest heaved violently, and she smiled miserably, "You never believe me?" David looked at the woman in front of him, still avoiding the important and taking the easy. A rare trace of confusion flashed across his face. After a long time, he said, "I really want to believe you, but after seeing the surveillance video, I don't know how to believe you." He asked her again, "Tell me how can I believe you? Now I don't even know which of your words is true and which is false.
Abort the child David was absent-minded all morning. During the meeting, he was rarely distracted for a while, but Richard couldn't stand it anymore, so he kicked him from under the table despite the danger of being frozen three feet away from him, and he finally came to his senses. A cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the marketing director who was reporting his work. He wondered if Mr. David's daze after listening to his report meant that he was about to pack up and get out. Unexpectedly, after David was kicked, he just glanced at Richard coldly. Then he announced, "Let's get here first today." After speaking, he closed the notebook on the table with a snap, stood up first, and strode out of the conference room. Everyone was stunned for a while, looking at each other, not knowing what happened just now. Richard was also stunned for a second by his sudden move. But after all, he had been with David for several years, and he was used to big winds and waves, so he quickly
Rolland had been counting the minutes until he could finally see his best friend, Rowan, and take her out for a much-needed break. The hospital where she worked as an IT specialist was a place where the pace never slowed down, especially for someone who was expecting a child. Rowan, a pregnant woman with a heart of gold, was loved by everyone at the hospital, but her best friend, Rolland, knew that she deserved some time to relax and enjoy herself. As he arrived at the hospital, Rolland couldn't help but feel a bit anxious. He had heard about the complex dynamics at play in Rowan's life, and he was determined to put a smile on her face today. James was a close friend of both Rolland, too since he knew that James was deeply in love with Rowan. Always gives him rest of mind that James will take care of her. Rolland stepped into the bustling hospital and quickly located the IT department. He found Rowan hunched over her computer, her pregnant belly had started adding changes to Ro
Enough is enough At that time, he returned to London in despair, and as soon as he landed, he was picked up by someone sent by his father who was still alive at the time. He thought that his father would scold him severely if he knew that he had gone to see Flora. Unexpectedly, his father just sighed and asked him what he was going to do in the future. "Although it is an old and vulgar saying to cherish what is in front of you, few people can really do it. David, I hope you can focus on the side of you in the future instead of the distant foreign country, and live a good life with Rowan." David still remembers his father persuading him like this at that time. He never visited Flora again or mentioned this person. But he knew in his heart that he didn't take his father's words to heart at all. Rowan... thinking of this name, he became more irritable than before. Recently, his life has been turned upside down like a big earthquake. Nothing has gone as planned, and everything is
