Chapter 187 Deadlines
Hannah immediately said to me, “Sophie is showing signs of waking up, I’m at the hospital with Anna!”NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
“… huh? Sure?” I burst with excitement, “That’s great news!”
“That’s why I accompanied Anna to the hospital, I don’t feel comfortable with her body!” Hannah said seriously, “The condition looks good so far, but there’s no way to determine when she’ll wake up! On your side, all that’s missing is an order from Robert, but I wonder what he’s hesitating about?”
Hannah also knew what I was coming to the phone for and lowered her voice to me and said, “I’m not good at pressing on my end!”
“I doubt anyone interfered with his decision.” I said with certainty.
“You mean, something to do with this child?” Hannah asked.
“It should be related, I always feel that Amelia is being directed by someone!” I said, a little worried, “But I haven’t figured out why someone would block Medikit Inc from growing? It doesn’t make sense?”
“What did the police say?” Hannah asked again.
“Restricted my traveling now, but it always felt wrong, they didn’t ask me much pointed questions.” I voiced my concerns.
“Then wait! It’s true that the baby is missing!” Hannah reassured me, “It’s been over 40 hours too, we should hear something soon!”
I nodded and followed up with Hannah, “So should I go over there with Scarlette to check it out too? Should we keep someone with us at the hospital tonight?”
“It’s too soon to tell, we’ll talk about it tonight! The point is to wake up and Anna gets worried all of a sudden!”
“Oh … right, what’s the deadline for acceptance?” I asked Hannah again before hanging up.
Hannah immediately said, “Tonight is the last day to negotiate, tomorrow!”
“So soon?” This was a bit unexpected; I didn’t think that today would be the deadline.
But I didn’t see Robert’s decision just now before he left.
“The mission trip is ahead of schedule, and two of the families have already wrapped up the process, so it’s all ahead of schedule!” Hannah was a bit helpless, “Now we can’t make any more moves!”
“I understand!”
Hanging up on Hannah, I stood up a little nervously and wandered in place as I wondered again what Robert was holding back.
Scarlette saw my mood and she asked me tentatively, “Should we prod a little more?”
“No, … don’t startle him!” I said in a deep voice, “I always feel that something is not quite right.”
“Where do you mean?” Scarlette pressed me, “The baby?”
I shook my head, unable to say what it felt like.
After eating, I asked Scarlette to go to the hospital to check Sophie’s condition, after all, Anna is a very righteous person, this period of time, on my things are very attentive, quite a big belly, but also constantly help us out, this will be people have something, I can’t be no movement.
Scarlette looked at me a little uneasily, “Are you okay? I’d better stay with you! It’s not like she’s going to wake up right away on her end!”
“Well, that’s something to look into, and I have here, don’t I still have Leila?” I reassured her, “Even wide-eyed stares won’t help, let’s just listen to God!”
“Then I’ll go and come back quickly, if nothing happens I’ll be right back!” Scarlette said and gave Leila a few more instructions. Only then did she leave in a hurry.
But at this point, my heart was in my throat.
By this time, the company had long since closed, but there was no news at all, and I knew he hadn’t made up his mind yet, because if the account was credited, I was alerted on my cell phone.
The only glimmer of hope I have left is that there is still tomorrow morning before ten o’clock!
Now everything has come to this point, as long as Robert gives the instruction to proceed normally to negotiate with overseas, then he will plug all the holes, and the next step is the situation that he can’t turn around.
But time slipped by, minute by minute, calm as an abyss without a ripple.
And no sign of Robert coming back.
I clutched the phone tightly and wandered back and forth from my spot, I really kind of couldn’t face the fact that everything that I had designed had just gone down the drain.
It is not clear how Robert and I will face each other next, and whether I will get back any of the assets he has removed.
And the scariest thing is that at this point, I can’t influence his decision, not to mention, behind this, how many secrets are hidden that I don’t know.
