Need You Now

Chapter 278 Bad Idea

The next morning, Heidy and Kevin went downstairs together. Dale looked at them and smiled with satisfaction. "Did you sleep well last night?"

Heidy nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, everything is good."

Dale stood up, held Heidy's hand and said enthusiastically, "Heidy, I have the servant make breakfast for you. Breakfast is very important. You must eat well to get healthy."

Nodding meekly, Heidy followed Dale to the dining room for meal. With her head down, she could sense Dale's attentive gaze, which made her feel uneasy.

After breakfast, Kevin came up with an excuse and left with Heidy. Before leaving, Dale asked Heidy to drop by more often.

Sitting in the car, Heidy said with a smile, "Aunt is really enthusiastic."

"Yes, she wants a grandson," Kevin said concisely.

Hearing this, Heidy chuckled. "So you have to work harder."

Kevin looked into her eyes with a faint smile. Then he turned his head and looked out of the window. Until now, he hadn't made up his mind to confess his feelings to her. It was not that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't take a move to her. Hearst was his best friend. He didn't want to mess up anything before he made sure that Hearst had no feelings for Heidy anymore.

When they were about to arrive at A city, Heidy received a call from Hearst unexpectedly. "What? Has Gavin gotten a fever?"

Kevin drove her to Hearst's villa and said, "I'm leaving now. If you need anything, let me know."

"Okay, take care." Then she rushed to the villa.

Standing there, Kevin looked at her receding figure with something flickering in his eyes. Then he turned around, got into the car and drove away.

When Heidy came to the living room, the servant saw her and said respectfully, "Madam, you're back."

Having no time to correct the way they addressed her, Heidy asked in a hurry, "Where is Gavin?"

"He is still having a fever, but he doesn't want to take the medicine. Mr. Hearst is trying to convince him," the servant replied.

As soon as she heard the answer, Heidy rushed to Gavin's room. Gavin was lying on the bed with a pale face. The nanny was wiping his body with a wet towel. Hearst looked at him with a serious face and said in a solemn voice, "Gavin, the doctor said that you should take the medicine."

Gavin groaned in a low voice, "I don't want to take medicine. You are a bad man. You abandoned mommy. I hate you."

With his head down, Hearst pursed his lips. He didn't expect that Gavin would hurt himself in this way for what had happened between he and Heidy. Before Hearst was about to persuade him, Heidy walked up to her and said, "Gavin, take medicine if you are sick. Mommy know you are a good boy."

When Gavin heard the voice, he slowly opened his eyes. Turning to the direction of Heidy, she called, "Mother."

Heidy stepped forward. She fondled his head and said with a frown, "Gavin, you are still burning. If you still suffer like that, mommy would be sad. So you take the medicine, okay?"

"The medicine doesn't taste good. I don't like it. Please feed me, mom," begged Gavin in a coquettish tone

Taking Gavin in her arms, Heidy turned to Hearst and asked, "Where is the medicine?"

Hearst brought the medicine on the table, and handed it to Heidy. Then she feed the medicine to Gavin. As his temperature was too high, they had fed him several times. After taking care of all this, Heidy finally felt relieved.

"Gavin, you should have a good rest and you will recover soon. Understand?" said Heidy softly.

Taking a glance at the woman in front of him, Gavin tightly held her hand. "Mom, please stay with me, will you?"

Seeing his red face, she felt a pang of sadness. She nodded and said softly, "Okay, I'll be here with you."

Hearing her words, Gavin closed his eyes. Gavin fell asleep quickly, perhaps because the pills started to take effects. Seeing him fall asleep, Heidy stood up and left the room quietly with Hearst.

"How did you take care of Gavin? How did he had a fever?" Heidy blamed.

Lowering his head, Hearst said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect that he would have a temperature. He refused to take medicine and spit it out. I don't know what to do with him."

Taking a glance at Gavin who was in deep sleep, Heidy said in a calm tone, "Gavin is the biggest victim in our separation. You need to take good care of him. Where is Cathy? Gavin is sick. Why isn't she here?"

Hearing this, Hearst replied calmly, "There's something in the company that she has to deal with."

Heidy said coldly, "You are so considerate that you are even willing to let her deal with the business in the company."

"No, it's not like that..." Hearst wanted to explain, but he stopped himself after a short hesitation. It was better to keep the secrets for himself.

Looking at his watch, Hearst said, "It's late now. Why don't you stay at home for lunch. I'm afraid that Gavin will turn angry if he doesn't see you after he wakes up."

"Okay. I will wait here until Gavin wakes up. I wasn't at home last night. I was worried that Elsa would miss me," Heidy said casually.

Hearst looked at her in astonishment. Then, a light flashed through his eyes. "Last night? You are with Kevin."

Looking into his eyes, Heidy said without emotion, "We have separated. I don't need to report to you about my things." Then she turned around and went back to the room.

Looking at her back, he closed his eyes to hide all his sorrow. He didn't expect that they would make such a rapid progress. He suddenly felt that he was so pathetic that he couldn't show his care. Hearst couldn't move his eyes away from her.

On the other side, Cathy got the job done in the company. She was about to leave, but she saw that James and Noah were walking towards the elevator side by side. At the sight of James, Cathy trotted over and said smilingly, "Mr. James, nice to meet you again. Are you here for Noah?"

James glanced at Cathy coldly, nodded and was about to leave with Noah. Seeing this, Cathy still smiled and said kindly, "I haven't formally expressed my thanks to you for your help last time."

"You don't have to thank me. I didn't expect that such an innocent girl like you would destroy other people's marriage. It's really difficult to judge a person by appearance," James said coldly.

Hearing his words, Cathy felt that he was unfriendly to her, so she explained, "I know you're blaming me. It's because of me that Hearst broke up with Heidy. But I didn't mean it that way. Men can have two wives in our village."

James's lips twitched, and he said in a cold voice, "Your village is really backward. Nowadays, society values marriage and monogamy, understand? Besides, Heidy is a woman with strong self-esteem. She would never share her husband with others. You are a bad girl in my eyes."

Cathy lowered her head sadly. His words were no arrows but they pierced her heart. Being misunderstood was a torment for her. At the thought of it, Cathy still tried to explain herself, "Mr. James, I didn't mean this to happen."

"Noah, let's go," James butted in. He pulled Noah's arm to walk towards the elevator.

Standing there, Cathy saw the elevator slowly closing, and her eyes flashed with sadness. James was friendly towards her before he knew that she was Hearst's girlfriend. The big change saddened Cathy. "Am I really wrong?" Why don't they like me?" asked Cathy softly.

In the elevator, Noah said with a smile, "James, I think Cathy treats you nicely. She even address you Mister."

"Where is the difference?" James sneered and added, "If I had known that she was the slut, I would not help her that day."

Hearing James's words, Noah suddenly smiled and squinted at him. "How about you asking her out for a date? In this way, as long as you succeed, she would leave Hearst. Only in this way, can Hearst and Heidy be together."

James refused his suggestion immediately, "No way. I don't like her. Besides, even if she left, it would be impossible for Hearst to be with Heidy again. Why do I have to burn my ass to do such a

meaningless thing?"

Patting him on the shoulder, Noah said seriously, "In fact, I feel something is wrong. Assistant Liu went with Hearst before. He said that Hearst didn't treat Cathy well when he rescued her. It was very likely that he grandmother had said something to Hearst. I think it has something to do with Heidy."

James was shocked and asked curiously, "So Hearst left Heidy not because that he fell in love with Cathy? Then tell me why." NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

"How would I know? It must be something urgent so he refused to tell us. James, if you can try your best to make Cathy fall in love with you and break up with Hearst, I think we can figure out the secrets behind all this," Noah said, patting him on the shoulder.

James frowned and said, "I'm not good at this."

Raising his eyebrows, Noah said to him jokingly, "You get along well with girls. I believe that you can handle it well. You will make a great contribution if Hearst and Heidy get back together. Then you can ask Hearst for whatever you want. As for the future, it's a piece of cake for you to dump Cathy."

James was thinking about his words carefully. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "All right. Then I'll try my best to help him out."

Noah smiled with satisfaction and said with a smile, "That's the spirit."
