Liam Wilford’s tone was playful. He was in a good mood probably because Sophie Leger was in good health. His voice was still gentle as he said, "Why are you always so mean?"
Lindsey thought he was going to continue with his nonsense, so she wanted to hang up, but just as she put her phone away from her ear, Liam's voice sounded again, "I'm just afraid you've forgotten, so I called to remind you that you only have three months left. We'll meet again then. Oh right, I've invited two very important guests today and they want to hear your voice..."
After he said that, there was a little noise, followed by heavy breathing. The person on the other side of the call was probably nervous.
Before the other party could say anything, Lindsey's fingers clenched the phone tightly and her hoarse voice carried a cold intent as she said, "I don't want to talk to you. Give the phone back to Liam Wilford."
Lindsey did not even know if the other person was a man or a woman. Her tone carried a strong sense of disdain.
The person on the other side paused, then spoke, but it was not directed to Lindsey. "Mr. Wilford, it's better if you talk to her." It was a woman's voice that sounded somewhat older, but her voice was quite gentle when she spoke.
"Tsk tsk." Liam picked up the phone and glanced at the woman in front of him. The woman was smart enough to walk away, looking cowardly.
"Look at you, she’s your..."
Liam did not get to finish his words before he was interrupted by Lindsey. "Are you done? I’ll do as promised, so there’s no need for you to test me like this."
After this little episode, Liam also lost the heart to tease her. His expression was deep and obscure. After a long time, he let out a light laugh and said, "It’s good that you know."
This unpleasant voice gradually faded from her ears as she ended the call. Lindsey touched her belly and her heart suddenly surged with panic, anxiety, and nervousness.
Since the day Lana showed up at the mansion, Lindsey rarely saw any scandals about Zayn anymore. It was as if all his scandals lately were everyone’s illusion.
Zayn was still the same, but he became more distant and colder than ever.
However, many people speculated that Zayn and Lana were officially dating, which made Lana all the more popular.
Lindsey just thought that Zayn only kept a low profile because of something the old man said to him that day.
Nonetheless, all of these were no longer important to her. As time passed, her daily meals became the biggest torture for Lindsey.
She had no appetite. Moreover, nausea and regurgitation followed her like a shadow. To keep this from others, she also had to suppress it.
"Lindsey, there's a girl who says she's here to see you." Lindsey was drifting off to sleep in her room when she was suddenly woken up by Mrs. Wendy.
She sat up from the bed and her first reaction was that it was Lana, who had come uninvited last time.
Mrs. Wendy looked at her dumbfounded face and pinched her cheeks as she laughed. "The little lady said she’s Ms. Wilford and that she’s your friend. Do you want to take a look and see if you want to invite her in?"
Lindsey suddenly recalled that she had asked Allie to come over and instantly woke up from her daze.
Allie was dragged upstairs by Lindsey. They had not seen each other since the last time Lindsey got drunk. Lindsey later asked how she got back to the Guggenheim mansion. Allie said that Zayn took her back, but she did not mention anything else. Lindsey also did not ask.
"What's wrong with you? Why have you lost so much weight in the past few days?" Once the door was shut, Allie took Lindsey's hand and sized her up.
