This Life, We Part Ways

"...Now, we interrupt for a breaking news story. The Horizon Group, which had been in financial and operational crisis for some time, has declared bankruptcy due to depletion of funds and insolvency. The chairman, Richard Thompson, has just informed the media of this and suffered a heart attack, being urgently taken to State General Hospital. Richard Thompson, a well-known tycoon in the state for many years, has been..."

The news on TV froze Lily Thompson completely.

What did she hear? The Horizon Group declared bankruptcy, and her father had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital! When did her family face a crisis? There were no signs before! She had never heard a word from James!

Lily had no time to think more, she picked up the phone on the table and dialed quickly.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please dial later..."

Jamess phone couldnt get through! He must be busy dealing with the aftermath. Lily, dont panic, with James around, everything will be fine...

Lily held back her inexplicable palpitations and hurried towards the door, but two servants stepped forward to stop her.

"What are you doing? I want to go to the hospital to see my dad!" Lily didnt expect these two usually respectful servants to actually step forward to stop her coldly, which made her face show a rare anger.

"Madam, the master instructed that you should stay at home and rest well..."

Lily frowned slightly, trying to push them away, "When its time to rest at home? Now my dad has an accident! Get out of the way!"

"Madam, youre pregnant and running around everywhere. If something happens, the master will blame us..."

Lily just wanted to say she wasnt that delicate, and then she heard the other party continue to dissuade, "Madam, you cant ride in a car, usually only take the subway, now that youre pregnant, its too dangerous to take the subway. Sorry, we really cant let you go out!"

Lily was stunned, yes, she was afraid of riding in a car, and after getting pregnant, she hardly went out, and even the prenatal check-up was a private doctor bringing equipment to the house.

So she had no way of knowing that her father was under so much pressure! And James probably didnt mention it because he was afraid she would worry.

Lily was so anxious that she couldnt sit still, but she couldnt do anything, she could only wait at home for James to come back.

The children in her stomach, more than seven months pregnant, seemed to be affected by their mother and were a bit restless and moving around, "Baby is good, grandpa will be fine, dad is here!"

This wait lasted until the sunset was about to set, Lily ate a little food and then had no appetite, just as she couldnt bear it and had to go to the hospital, James finally came back!

"James, how is my dad?!" She rushed forward anxiously and asked, holding her husbands arm as she had done countless times before.

Every time Lily did this, James would touch her head and gently kiss her forehead.

But this time, James quickly pulled his arm out, looking at her expressionlessly.

Even though Lily was more than seven months pregnant, she didnt look haggard and hardworking as a pregnant woman at all. Her skin was still delicate, and under the bright red one-shoulder dress, it was even more dazzlingly white.

Her cheeks and limbs were a bit more fleshy than before, and the whole person exuded a moist temperament like the top-grade Dongzhu pearls. It was obvious that she was raised by someone holding in the palm of her hand, living in luxury.

James clenched his fist secretly -

So she deserved to be naive and innocent, she deserved to be carefree and worry-free, and she deserved to get into big trouble and have someone clean up the mess for her!

However, these things that he hated so much have become the past, and soon he will let her know the consequences of not paying the price for doing something wrong!

"James, take me to the hospital..." For the first time in Jamess eyes, there was an emotion she couldnt understand. Why was he looking at her like this? Lily held back the panic in her heart and asked softly.

"Ill take you." James left four cold words and walked out first.

Lily was a little at a loss and stayed where she was. This was the first time James didnt hold her hand and walked ahead alone.

Her eyes were slightly red, because she was pregnant, her emotions were always fluctuating, and the tears in her eyes gradually blurred the figure that was walking further and further away, and he didnt look back to see if she was following...
