“After seeing Chairwoman Xylander’s capability, I will no longer need to run around,” Herman chuckled. “Get back to work. I can return to the hospital on my own.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Do as I say.” After speaking, Quenlyn helped Herman downstairs and out of the building. But, as she looked down at Herman’s stomach and noticed the blood-stained bandage, she was determined to do something.
After Herman fell asleep, Quenlyn asked her secretary to arrange for her to get a tattoo.
That’s right, a tattoo!
She wanted to experience how it felt to be stabbed repeatedly in the stomach.
“Miss Xylander, what type of tattoo would you like to get?” the cool-looking tattoo artist asked.
Quenlyn sat down on the sofa and began thinking about Herman’s handsome face. He was both silly and heartwarming. Even though he had suffered so much pain, he was still willing to sacrifice himself and still had the courage to love. So, Quenlyn immediately responded, “I want a tattoo of a dog…”
“Does Miss Xylander have any special expectations for this dog?” the tattoo artist continued to ask.
“Can you implement the word ‘Herman’ into the design?”
In this lifetime, she had already decided that Herman was hers. So, it wouldn’t be going overboard to tattoo his name, right?
The tattoo artist was a little surprised. He then looked at her and smiled, “Of course I can.”
But…he wondered if the person with the name ‘Herman’ would be happy to see this dog!
“Then, let’s go ahead and get it tattooed.”
After saying this, Quenlyn felt her head heat up. When she finally calmed down and thought carefully about what she was doing, she wondered if Herman would laugh at her for tattooing his name on her body. But, since she had already decided that she was going to follow Herman for the rest of his life, there was nothing else to hesitate about. What she had decided on, she was never going to regret.
Quenlyn had always been such a sensitive person.
Because she had suffered too much in the past, she especially cherished moments when others treated her well.
As long as someone was willing to do something for her, she would be willing to go to the depths of hell for them, not to mention, Herman had received such a serious injury because of her.
“Miss Xylander, I will now sterilize the area.”
As she listened to the tattoo artist’s voice, Quenlyn pulled out her phone and gave Flossie a phone call, “You were wrong. I’m not the same as you. The only reason I was so slow to respond was because I didn’t realize how good Herman was to me. It is completely different to the ungratefulness that you have shown.”
“Really?”
“From now on, he is mine,” Quenlyn bravely staked her claim. “I will take good care of him. You no longer have any business with him, Flossie.”
“Could you please keep your distance from him. Next time I see you appear in front of him again, I won’t be playing nice.”
On the other end of the phone, Flossie remained silent. In reality, she had appeared at the hospital today because she wanted Quenlyn to know what Herman had done for her. If Quenlyn knew how to cherish him, then…she could truly let go.
Well and truly!
“I’m currently having some wine. Care to join me?” Flossie was trying to drown away her sorrows. “To be honest, Quenlyn, I am actually very envious of you. By the way, don’t you mind that we had a one night stand?”
“Of course I mind!” Quenlyn replied, “But, a hero does not ask about another’s past. It is all history.”
“Let’s hope you can do as you say. Otherwise, I will do whatever I can to steal him back,” Flossie warned before she hung up the phone.
No, to be exact, she threw the phone on the floor!
She originally still had a slight sliver of hope. She was hopeful that Quenlyn would be the same as her and would disappoint Herman. But…
All she could do now was wait and see how much Quenlyn would be able to offer.
But, now that she had let go, would Emma also let her go?
In reality, a part of the reason why she had given up on Herman was because she was afraid of Emma…
Over the next few days, the headlines of the entertainment news was overrun by the video of Emma’s performance at the Sky Honor Awards. At the same time, old news about Emma resurfaced and created hype all over again.
However, for the 6-month-pregnant Emma, apart from the response she provided on the night of the Sky Honor Awards, she once again disappeared from the limelight…
But…she wasn’t simply focusing on taking care of her pregnancy, she was also focused on monitoring a particular person…
This person was Elodie.
Elodie continued to do her own thing, going around scamming people with her counterfeit notes. Whenever she was discovered, she would use her pregnancy as an excuse to avoid responsibilty. Of course, this only worked because she had yet to come across someone as shameless and despicable as she was…
The people sent by Luke to keep an eye on Elodie never disobeyed their orders. But, seeing Elodie in this state, made it hard for them not to feel a sense of ridicule.
“If the Madam hadn’t asked us to keep her safe for a few more days, I would have already made a move on her.”
“I know, right? She spends all day scamming people, regardless of whether they are young or old, without trying to gain a bit of good karma for her child.”
Everytime Elodie scammed people, these two men would pick up after her and help her compensate her victims. But, this time…
…Elodie wasn’t so lucky.
She ended up going to a supermarket and the supermarket’s boss happened to also be a pregnant woman. In fact, she was already 9 months pregnant.
As young people weren’t easy to trick, Elodie quickly handed over the money and left with her items. While the woman was occupied, she increased her walking speed.
The pregnant lady was curious why Elodie was in such a rush. As she looked down at the notes in her hands, she realized they were fake. So, she immediately chased after her, “Hey, come back! Your money is fake, stay where you are…”
Elodie was stopped by the neighbouring stores, so the pregnant lady quickly caught up and grabbed onto her sleeves, “The money you gave me is fake!”
“You’re lying! I obviously gave you real money,” Elodie refuted, “I know you are all teaming up to get money out of me, but I don’t have any.”
After a long period of practice, Elodie’s acting flowed out of her naturally.
“I have surveillance cameras in the supermarket. If you don’t believe me, you can come check the footage with me!” the pregnant lady said as she pointed to the store. “If it was coins, I wouldn’t have bothered; I’m pregnant, i can’t do much but accept the small loss. However, this amount is enough to pay for my hospital fees. I can’t just let you get away with it.”
“Let go. Just because you have a weak body, that has nothing to do with me!” Elodie forcefully pushed the pregnant lady away…
The force she applied almost caused the pregnant lady to sl*p and fall. Luckily, her husband caught her from behind and prevented a huge injury from happening.
“It’s bad enough that you are using counterfeit money. You are even trying to hurt my wife?” a strong and powerful man approached. He was dressed in professional sportswear, his arms and legs were long and his entire body was full of muscles.
Elodie was a little worried as she looked at this bulky man, “It wasn’t me…”
“Who are you trying to fool? It was obviously this woman,” observers began to help by pointing to Elodie.
Elodie had nowhere to retreat to as she became surrounded. So, she once again decided to use the child in her stomach as a shield, “What do you want to do? I am pregnant…you can’t hit me.”
“My wife is also pregnant. Why didn’t you think about that?” the man was angered by Elodie, so he reached out his hand and grabbed onto her collar, “r*bbish like you should be cleaned up.” After speaking, the man’s right arm casually swung to the side and Elodie was thrown onto the ground. As a result, her stomach was also hurt in the process.
“He hit a woman…this man hit a woman!” Elodie immediately cried.
This woman was once a socialite, yet here she was, thrown onto the streets of the suburbs, covered in an unbearable stench. It was hard not to laugh when seeing her like this.
“You deserve it…”
Elodie did not notice any abnormalities at first, but eventually, someone pointed out the blood that was seeping out from under her body.
“Look, it’s blood!”
“She wouldn’t be having a miscarriage, would she?”
“I didn’t see a thing. Let’s go.”
Even though there was a possibility that Elodie was having a miscarriage, no one stepped forward to help her. The reason was simple: since she had already tried to scam someone once, who was to say that this wasn’t also a scam. Who was going to show sympathy to a con artist?
“Help me, help me!” Elodie finally felt the unbearable pain.
