Chapter 542
She was curious as to how Arielle would react to the news.
If Cindy used Malorie to sow discord between Arielle and Vinson now, and they broke up, would Henrick still defend Arielle?
The answer was no.
Without having a rich son-in-law like Vinson around, Henrick will definitely turn a blind eye to whatever I do to her. As long as I make sure not to leave any traces behind, I shall be able to avenge Shandie soon!
Cindy was both curious and excited to find out Arielle’s reaction. However, when her gaze landed on Arielle, she only saw the latter’s slight smile.
Her smile showed no hint of anger or alarm. It seemed that her congratulations were sincere.
She’s congratulating me sincerely? The person who killed her mother? That’s impossible! Did she see through me? That sounds impossible, too.
Contrary to her expectation, she felt a chill go down her spine.
Cindy immediately hung her head low and gave Henrick a slight shove. “Rick, we’re at the hospital.
Let’s talk back home.”
Henrick released his grip on her as though he had just realized that fact. “Yes, you’re right,” he exclaimed gleefully. “Let’s go home and tell Mom about it. I bet she’ll be delighted to hear the news!”
With that, he helped Cindy walk in an exaggeratedly careful manner, as though he was afraid she’d slip and fall any minute.
She was pregnant with his son, and he wouldn’t allow anything to happen to his beloved son.
They held hands and walked out of the hospital.
Cindy sped up and left Arielle behind. The latter couldn’t help but wonder if she had done this on purpose.
Henrick immediately urged, “Hurry up and drive!”
I’m no longer important to him now that he has a son. Whatever. It’s better if his attention isn’t on me anyway.
Sighing, she stretched out a hand to hail a cab. Before she could do so, a car with the Morgans’ family insignia rolled to a stop before her.
Looking up, she saw Carter heading her way.
“Chief,” he greeted her.
At the sight of him, Arielle flashed an apologetic smile. “I’m sorry to drag your hospital into the mess.”
Carter gave a dismissive wave. “I’ve sorted everything out. Our hospital only hires doctors with integrity. Cindy must be lying. It would happen even if you were not there. Besides, this hospital’s location isn’t that
great. We were already planning on shutting it down this year and sending the doctors to other hospitals. Don’t blame yourself,” he assured her.
“Thank you for your comforting words.”
“I’m not comforting you. I’m just stating the truth,” Carter said. He pointed somewhere and requested, “If you feel sorry, can you help me with something? Actually, can you help Vin out?”
