Chapter 1071
It was not Margery. If it was, why would Lauren have begged him?
If it wasn't Margery, then it could only be...
At that moment, the door of the ward was opened. Willy came back to his senses and walked over. "How is she?"
"She's fine, her emotions just went a little haywire for a moment! I was worried that her pregnancy would end up being affected again, so I gave her a tranquilizing injection to calm her down. It is for pregnant women and has no side effects. We'll let her sleep for a while! When she wakes up, she'll be a little calmer. Willy..."
He called his name, but Carson couldn't speak what was on his mind.
Pregnancy was the most vulnerable and fragile period of time in a woman's life. There was no way for anyone's heart to not be moved by Lauren's actions earlier.
At that moment, Carson was sympathetic towards her! However, since it was related to Vanessa and Willy's family, he didn't know how to word it. With a glance, Willy understood and immediately said, "I know! There's something off about all this.
I will handle it! I will not let her get agitated again!" "That's good, then! Considering how close we are, I'll tell you the truth! It's not an exaggeration that her current condition during pregnancy might cause both her and the child to lose their lives! It's just that she's rather late into the pregnancy at the moment. If it were any earlier, there's no way the child would be able to survive! Now, although it's likelier for the child to be saved, similarly, if anything happens, the risks for both of them will still be increased!"
After a pause, Carson looked at him and continued.
"These two times, it was luck that she was able to arrive in time and receive emergency treatment! If there's ever a next time, it will be hard to say! Moreover, with a mental breakdown like that, a pregnant woman will easily lose grip of their sanity, and even worse, they might suffer from depression and mental illness! You should know that women have an innate maternal instinct, and their children can have a huge impact on them!"
"I understand! I will handle this matter properly!"
At that moment, Willy was in great disbelief.
Although Vanessa was hot-tempered and occasionally used foul language, she was upright. How could she do such a thing? He could understand when she came over before to dish out a scolding. However, as for such harassments over the phone, and even wanting to use it to get rid of the child, it seemed unbelievable no matter how he thought about it!
Moreover, although what he had said that day was not what he truly felt, it was still mostly the truth, and he wanted to calm the situation back then. His and Lauren's relationship had started from a bet that was made. Although he had already admitted defeat in his heart, it was the complete opposite to what he told Vanessa. Not to mention, he also personally promised Vanessa that he would not marry anyone she didn't like. That was why her attitude had visibly eased a lot when she left that day.
From what she knew, at least, Lauren was a woman who was not very important to him. It didn't make sense that she would still use all kinds of tactics to go against her.
Moreover, he had already personally admitted that the child was his!
Even a vicious tiger would not harm its own cub. Vanessa might not like Victoria or the child, but how could she be so vicious to chase her away and even call to harass and scold her?
When had Vanessa become so scheming as well?
Was she secretly plotting?
That thought suddenly entered Willy's mind. Astutely, he could feel that something was wrong. Didn't Vanessa hate it the most when women were pitted against each other? Besides, Lauren was not his girlfriend. Although a mother-in-law would never treat any girl as well as her own daughter, that didn't mean they had to be enemies!
On top of that, how did Vanessa know about the existence of Lauren and the child?
Logically speaking, even if she had seen some news or heard some rumors, she would have instantly gone to ask him. Why would she directly come to the house to stop Lauren and make her lose her temper without even asking to make things clear? Even a table had been flipped! An appointment was even made, could Vanessa really not wait?
Something was amiss!
Wasn't Vanessa the one who had always been against wasting things?
That would be something else that was strange about it!
At that point, the nurse cleaned up the room and picked up the cell phone with broken screen. She looked at Carson for instructions and then handed it to Willy.
"Mr. Bowles?"
"Let her have a good rest tonight. You should take the opportunity to calm down as well! She won't wake up for an hour or two. If she does, you'd better not show up. Don't agitate her for the time being, and prepare some food for her!"
After giving some advice and giving some instructions to the nurse, Carson and the medical team then left.
Before turning around, Della rolled her eyes at Willy again.
At that point, Willy could not care about that anymore. Looking at the cracked phone screen, he tried to turn it on. Sure enough, it still worked.
After checking the call records, Willy was stunned again. Was it an unknown number?
The last call was neither from his home's landline nor Vanessa's cell phone!NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
As expected, the call before that was from Sharon!
Going through the phone, Willy suddenly realized that the records were full of calls from unknown numbers There were some calls
that were as short as a few
et
and some that were longer than ten minutes. There were calls from both landlines and cell phones,
He went through the call records from the past two days when she had been hospitalized. The day before, there was a missed call. Two days before, there were no records, or they were all calls from the
school, all with remarks. Before that, almost every day or every other day,
numbers. There were some at night, some during the day, and some even at midnight and in the dawn.
there were calls from that,
Regardless if she answered them or not, the calls always would be made more than once!
Were the calls from an unknown number? Would Vanessa use such a malicious method?
No!
He clenched his fists and still found it hard to believe.
Subsequently, he instructed the servant to take care of Lauren. Holding the phone, Willy strode out of the door and got in the car. He went straight home.
As soon as he got out, he heard the laughter coming from the house. It was Vanessa's voice. Obviously, she was in a good mood!
Suddenly, he felt a little disappointed.
Right then, the butler came up to him and took the car key in his hand. "Welcome back, Master Willy!" "Are there any guests at home?"
"Oh, it's Mrs. Clark, who's just moved in recently. Her place isn't far from ours. I heard she's a government official's wife. I don't know how she got into contact with Mrs. Bowles. Recently, she's been constantly coming over to play cards with her. Right, there's also Mrs. Macklin, another neighbor!"
"Oh?"
Willy narrowed his eyes and asked, "How long have they been here?"
"It's been a while, over half an hour! However, it should be almost time..." After all, it was almost time for dinner.
The more Willy listened, the more he was affirmed with his assumption. If there was someone in the house, it would be impossible for Vanessa to do such things at a time like that!
What was going on?
If it wasn't Vanessa, why would Lauren think that it was her?
However, no matter what, Willy knew that if he could not get close to Lauren right then, Vanessa would be the easiest way for him to get a breakthrough.
He started to walk to the house. As soon as he reached the steps, he heard a series of women's voices from the house.
"Vanessa, to be honest, you are really my idol. You are beautiful, your husband loves you, and your son is accomplished too. You are really enviable!"
"We've heard a lot about Mr. Bowles. It's time for him to find a girlfriend, isn't it? You have to keep a good eye on him and choose a lady from a family that matches him well. Girls nowadays aren't like how we were back then, they're impulsive!"
"That's a must! I heard that the Bowles family and the Cook family are on good terms. You like the daughter of the Cook family very much, don't you? What's her name? Wendy, I think?"
