The doctor heard him this time. She turned around and looked at Armand after placing the medicine in
her hand on the counter and passing it to another patient. She took over the medicine in Armand’s
hand and said, “It’s antiemetic.”
Antiemetic?
Armand frowned and still wanted to ask what kind of disease this was that required antiemetic
medication.
However, the doctor who gave him the medicine had already walked inside to take medicine for other
patients. Armand took the medicine and walked over to Theresa. He had some guesses in his heart.
He was, after all, an adult. He had seen it before, even if he had never experienced it.
He walked over step by step. He looked at Theresa, who was sitting in a row chair, and his gaze swept
over her abdomen. He asked very seriously, “Are you pregnant?”
Theresa’s heart jolted for a moment. However, she became serious in the next second, “What are you
talking about?”
Armand handed the medicine in front of Theresa serenely, “This is the antiemetic medicine. You have a
serious pregnancy reaction, don’t you?”
Theresa pretended to be calm and looked at Armand calmly, “Armand, do you still think that I’m still
willing to give birth to your baby? Even if I have your baby, I won’t want him.” She snatched the
medicine from Armand’s hand, “I vomit badly because I ate some cold food and got a stomachache.
So, I went to the hospital to get some medicine. Have you ever seen a pregnant woman who takes
antiemetic medicine?”
Armand was not sure about this. He knew that a pregnant woman couldn’t simply take medicine.
“But…”
“But what?” Theresa interrupted him, without giving him any chance, “Armand, we’re now separated. I
still have a wonderful life ahead of me. Even if I’m pregnant, do you think I still want the baby?”
Armand was speechless. He clenched his fists, “Do you hate me this much?”
“Yes. I hate you.” Theresa turned around and left after she finished saying.
When Armand wanted to follow her, his mobile phone, which was in his pocket, suddenly rang. He took
out his mobile phone. Matthew was the one who called. Usually, Matthew seldom contacted him. He
pressed the answer button, “Go to LJ Garden.”
Matthew hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
Armand stared at his phone for a few moments, then at Theresa, who was walking away, before finally
sighing. It was not a matter of a few sentences if he wanted to chase back Theresa. He put his mobile
phone in his pocket and walked out of the hospital. He didn’t go and follow Theresa, but he went to LJ
Garden.
When he walked in, a waiter walked towards him and asked, “Are you Mr. Bernie?”
Armand nodded, “I’m here to find Matthew.”
“Mr. Nelson is in the second private room. Please follow me.” The waiter led Armand to the second
private room.
There was a large round table in the spacious private room. There were only Boyce and Matthew there.
Armand pulled a chair and sat down. He asked while smiling, “What day is it today?”
Usually, he was the one that called them to gather together. Matthew seldom called them to eat
together because he was always on the go. Boyce’s workload was also very heavy. He was the only
one who seemed to have more free time.
Boyce twitched his lips, “Don’t laugh. You’ll cry then.”
Armand mocked himself while refuting Boyce, “What can be more vexed than I am right now?”
Theresa was the most vexing thing to him right now.
Mrs. Leslie’s health was gradually improving. Only Theresa’s attitude was steadfast. He had run out of
ways.
Theresa was impervious now.
He really had no way around it.
“Boyce, accompany me for a couple of drinks. I’m in a bad mood.” Armand called the waiter. Boyce
grabbed him and asked the waiter to go out, “We’re not ordering anything now. You go out first. We’ll
call you again when we’re ready to order.”
Armand stared at Boyce, “Are we not going to eat at a restaurant? Are we going to watch a movie?”
Boyce said solemnly, “Yes. We’re going to watch a movie.”
Armand smiled, “Are you kidding me…”
Before he could finish his sentence, he noticed the display screen on the wall suddenly light up. He
looked at the display screen surprisingly, “Are we really going to watch a movie?”
But he soon realized that they were not watching a movie because the screen displayed another
private room.
There sat a man, who was wearing a floral shirt, in the private room. Armand took a careful look at him
and found that the man in the private room looked familiar, “He is Phoebe’s classmate at university,
isn’t he?”
Armand and Phoebe were friends from the same university, but they were not in the same class. But
this man, who was a rich second generation, was in the same class as Phoebe.
Armand recalled many things in the past when he saw him, “Boyce, do you still remember? He…”
Armand pointed to the person on the screen, “He drove a Maserati to the university. It was stunning. He
hasn’t gone bankrupt yet?”
Boyce stared at him without saying anything.
Armand quickly realized that something wasn’t right. He looked at Boyce and then at Matthew, “What
do you want to do? You asked me to come to the restaurant and don’t allow me to eat. Why do you
want me to look at a coxcomb?”
Boyce was afraid that he couldn’t accept it when he knew the truth. He said tactfully, “Have you ever
thought about what Phoebe was doing all these years?”
Armand also had a sharp mind. He got the point quickly, “Something to do with this rich second
generation?”
Boyce didn’t say anything, as if he had acquiesced about this.
Armand stood up abruptly, “I go and ask him.”
Boyce grabbed him, “When did you become so impulsive?”
Armand looked at Boyce, “I go and ask him. What’s wrong?”
“Just wait.” Boyce let go of him, “You will have the answer soon.”
Armand realized what was going on now. He looked at Matthew and then at Boyce, “You have
investigated Phoebe?”
Boyce felt disgusted when he heard the word ‘Phoebe’.
Boyce squinted at Armand and remained silent in the end.
At this time, something happened in the room and were displayed on the screen. The door, which had
previously been closed, was pushed open. Phoebe had lost her innocent appearance, which she was
in when she was in front of Armand. She definitely would dress up carefully when meeting with her old
flame.
She was dressed in a black sling dress with half of her calf exposed. A fur shawl was made by the fox
fur, covered slantingly on her shoulder. She also wore a pair of red high heels. She looked enchanting
with her delicate makeup.
Cody took the initiative to ask her out on a date. She thought that Cody remembered all her good. If
Cody was willing to divorce to marry her, she would be willing as well.
After all, it was too tiring to get back with Armand.
Armand’s eyes widened. This was the first time he had seen Phoebe like this.
Phoebe always appeared to others as innocent, shining, and young.
“Why would you think of me?” Phoebe twisted her trim waist and walked over gracefully. She sat on
Cody’s legs as if it was a natural thing and a long habit.
Cody glanced at the camera in the right corner and held Phoebe’s waist, “I miss you. So, I find you.
Why? Don’t you miss me after we’ve been separated for so long?”
Mr. Day, who was Cody’s father, wanted to collaborate with Matthew on a project. Matthew didn’t
promise him. This time, Matthew agreed to cooperate withMr. Day. However, he had a condition.
Only then did Cody appear obediently in the private room.
Phoebe pushed Cody away, “What’s the use of missing you? You have a wife. What about me?”
Cody walked towards her, “I have no feelings for her.”
“Then, can you marry me?” Phoebe looked at him eagerly. She was eager to have a family when she
was at her age now.
“Phoebe, you know it. My wife’s family is wonderful…”
“But I had been with you for about ten years. I left everything to be with you at that time. How many
babies had I aborted for you over the years? Your wife arranged for people to beat me and that caused
me to be unable to get pregnant again for my lifetime.” Phoebe was particularly agitated when she
talked about the painful experiences. She grabbed Cody’s collar, “How are you going to compensate
for my youth over these years?”
Cody looked at her quietly, “This is the thing that both of us are willing. Didn’t you leave the poor guy
and be with me just because of my wealth at that time?”
Phoebe was silent.
She was indeed interested in his wealth at that time. She thought that with her beauty and trickery, she
would become the wife of the wealthy family. But marrying into a rich and powerful family was too
difficult.
Cody walked towards her and held her, “I can still keep in touch with you now. Are you willing to come
back?”
Cody walked towards her and held her, “I can still keep in touch with you now. Are you willing to come
back?”
