“John, come with me!” Mr. Sawyer looked at John and walked down the hall.
John Sawyer stood up, watched his father walk away, and finally followed.
“Dad!”
“Bang…”
“Don’t you call me dad. You are a disgrace to the Sawyer family.” Mr. Sawyer was so angry that blue veins were floating in his face.
John Sawyer knew he was wrong. He never should have betrayed Rosemary in the first place, so now it was all karma.
“Tell me, what exactly is your relationship with Rosemary?”
John Sawyer stood there, looking at his father, and finally told him about his relationship with Rosemary, He told him all about everything, including why Daisy fell today.
He looked at John Sawyer in disappointment.
The only thing he said at last was, “You and Daisy are on your own terms. We don’t care, we are too old to care!”
Then he walked to the door of the operating room.
John followed him. Mrs. Sawyer saw them coming and said, “What happened?”
Mr. Sawyer took a look at John and said to Mrs. Sawyer, “There are some things I need to deal with in the company, you and I go home first! John would be fine here.”
Then he took her to the hospital door.
Laurie was really mad at John Sawyer’s parents for leaving without saying goodbye.
“John, what do your parents mean?” Daisy hasn’t even come out yet. How could they leave now?”
Laurie now looked like a shrew, without any aristocratic upbringing.
John Sawyer didn’t want to argue with her, so he just said, “You can ask Daisy yourself when she wakes up.”
Now his mind was in turmoil. He hadn’t realized Daisy was such a woman.
Selfish!
Jealous of others…
He knew Daisy had brought this on herself. If she hadn’t gone after Rosemary, she wouldn’t have fallen and lost the baby.
John Sawyer was only staying because she did love her all these years and he didn’t want to be that ruthless.
Laurie heard John’s words and said, “If it weren’t for that bitch Rosemary, how could my Daisy be like this?”
Now Laurie didn’t even think about looking at her own mistakes, and she put all the blame on Rosemary.
“It’s not Rosemary’s fault. It’s who went up there and gave her a hard time. Eventually she turned herself into this.”
John Sawyer looked at Laurie with a chill in his eyes.
“Aha…”
“You finally admitted to having a relationship with Rosemary?! I'm telling you, John Sawyer, if anything happens to Daisy, you’ll be damned.”
Laurie shouted angrily.
Rosemary walked out of the dessert shop as if nothing had happened. She strolled along the streets just the same.
John saw him and stood up, “Mr. Harris!”
The operating room door creaked open. Andrew Harris rushed forward and asked, “Doctor, how is my daughter?”
The doctor took the mask off her face and turned to Andrew Harris. “She’s all right. But it may be difficult for her to have children. Her uterus is more difficult to conceive…”
After a pause, “You better take good care of her! Don’t let her get too emotional. Anyway, she’s still young. She’ll get another chance.” The doctor said that and went away.
Laurie slumped in her chair. Wouldn’t Daisy be crazy if she couldn’t get pregnant again?
Andrew Harris, who had been through a lot, was not as surprised as they were. After all, as the doctor said, she was young enough to have another chance.
Moments later, Daisy was wheeled out of the operating room. The effects of the anesthetic were still on and her face was very pale.
Andrew Harris was saddened to see Daisy like this. He was sad to see his daughter struggle.
When Daisy came out, Laurie was all over her. She stroked her pale little face with her hand and felt distressed.
“Oh Daisy…”
“My Daisy…”
“Can you hear mom calling you? You need to get better soon. Mama’s taking you home.” Laurie choked up.
John Sawyer stood there and saw Daisy’s bloodless face. He felt terrible.
The nurse said softly to Laurie, who was always talking beside her, “Ma’am, the patient needs to be quiet, and you’re disturbing her.”
Hearing this, Laurie stopped crying and followed the nurse to the ward.
