Need You Now

Chapter 93 I Promise To Discredit You

In Hearst's villa, the morning sunlight sprinkled on the bed, and Heidy slowly opened her eyes. She lay on her side, with her arms naturally landing beside her. When she felt the coldness, she went blank for a moment. For the past few days, when she woke up every day, she found that nobody was beside her. They had only slept on the same bed for a few days, but she was already used to having him around.

Slowly sitting up, Heidy lowered her head and sighed slightly. No matter what, life would go on. Thinking of this, she quietly uncovered the quilt and walked out of the room. She had only taken a few steps when the door was pushed open. Then, she saw Hearst come in.

Heidy was surprised to see him. These days, Hearst seldom came into the bedroom. He wouldn't show up in this villa before she went to sleep. He didn't return to the guest room until she fell asleep. It seemed like it was difficult for the two of them to appear in the same space at the same time.

Taking back her thoughts, Heidy walked up with a gentle smile. Looking at him, Heidy smiled and said, "You're back, Hearst."

Hearst noticed that her hair was a bit messy and it seemed that she just woke up. Her pink lips were as beautiful as ever, but unfortunately... Hearst nodded. He turned around and was about to walk towards the wardrobe.

Heidy asked in a hurry, "Hearst, how is Gavin?"

On hearing this, Hearst stopped his steps, turned around slowly, looked at her again and said calmly, "He is the same as before."

Hearing the answer, Heidy didn't know what to say. She just nodded and said hesitatingly, "I want to see Gavin. Is it okay? After all, I am his mother. I know you won't trust me no matter what I say. It's true that I don't like him and can't accept him completely. But I never want to hurt him."

She knew he wouldn't believe it, but she still wanted to say something. She didn't know who wanted to frame her, but she had to say that the person was really smart, and her goal had been achieved. Now she just wanted to try her best to do something.

Hearing her explanation, Hearst seemed very calm. As if what she said had no influence on him anymore. Looking at him, Heidy's heart had been tightened. Seeing that he was silent, Heidy begged, "Can I? Can I visit him? You can rest assured that I won't hurt him. Otherwise, I will bear the consequences."

Noticing her insistence, he finally agreed, "Okay. From now on, I will move out for some time. You can live here."

She opened her eyes in surprise and said, "You want to move out? Is it because you don't want to see me?"

His palm twisting slightly, and he looked into her eyes. After a moment of silence, he said in a hoarse voice, "Well, I'm sorry, but I can't deal with it right now. It's better to be apart for a while."

After pondering over it for a while, Hearst still found it hard to communicate with her. He worried that he would vent his anger on her. It was good for both of them to be apart.

She had expected that it was because of her, but when she really heard it, she still felt sad. Thinking of this, Heidy smiled bitterly. She raised her lips with tears in her eyes. "You don't have to go. Even if someone needs to leave, it's me. This is your home. I will come back to my own home."

The several days' standoff had almost suffocated her. It was a torment for her to live like this every day. "No, " said Hearst in a low voice.

"It's settled. I will leave. I know I am just a vicious woman in your heart, and I... Well, never mind. I'll pack my things and take them out. You can come home to sleep and don't have to avoid me anymore."

Then she raised her head and walked towards the door.

Hearst stood still. As she walked past him, he raised his hand. But before he could touch her fingers, he slowly retracted his hand. He let her brushed past him.

After half an hour, Heidy packed her luggage, pulled her suitcase and walked out of her room. Standing at the door, looking at the tall figure in the room, Heidy slowly closed the door with a bright smile on her lips. Tears fell down quietly from her face the moment the door was closed. The salty taste of the tears flew into her mouth.

Wiping away her tears quickly, she raised her head and went downstairs slowly. She had never expected that she would leave so soon when she moved in here formally. Now she thought that maybe all these things were destined to happen. Although she was sad, she had to face it with a smile.

Standing in front of the window, Hearst stared at the red Ferrari which slowly disappeared in his sight. After making sure that the car was out of sight, he looked away. He raised his head and closed his eyes, trying to hide all complex emotions.

At noon, Heidy drove to the hospital. Even if her relationship with Hearst had become stiff, she still had to take care of her unborn baby. Today was the day for her antenatal care. She came to the hospital alone.

She came to the hospital with mixed feelings. Sitting in the chair of the corridor, she waited patiently. Seeing that some pregnant women around her were accompanied by their families, she felt lonely. Now she had no relatives and she was alone in the world.

With her hands caressing the baby in her womb, she suddenly thought, 'When I give birth to a child and bring him up, will I have someone to rely on?' Thinking of this, she smiled.

After a while, her name was called out by the nurse. As soon as she stood up and was about to walk into the office, she happened to meet with Sherry and Jack who were walking towards her. She had to admit that the world was too small. "Heidy, what a coincidence! Are you here for prenatal checkups too?" said Sherry smilingly.

Heidy slightly nodded and planned to walk past them. Seeing this, Sherry held Jack's arm and said charmingly, "Why did you come here alone? Where is your husband? I heard that he planned to abandon you. Is that true? My dear sister, you must take good care of yourself. If you get a divorce one more time, I'm afraid no one will accept you."

Looking at her gloating look, Heidy smiled and said slowly, "I think you'd better care about yourself first. I haven't seen you for a while. Why is your skin so bad? Why have you become an ugly woman now? I have read a lot of gossip about your husband. Take care of yourself. I heard that when a woman is pregnant, her husband is most likely to have an affair."

Then Heidy headed to the office with a big smile. Seeing this, Sherry got mad with excitement. "Bitch, how am I ugly? Jack, do you think I'm ugly?"

Jack patted on her face and said with a smile, "Well, don't listen to her. Just go back." Before leaving, Jack looked at the office again.

Heidy left the hospital after checking out all the items. When she was in the elevator, Jack shouted, "Heidy."

Heidy stopped and looked to the direction of the sound, only to see Jack standing there. Looking around, she said calmly, "Where is Sherry?" Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

"She went back," Jack came to her and said with a smile.

At the sight of him, Heidy folded her hands over her chest and said coldly, "It seems that you deliberately wait for me here."

Jack didn't deny it. He grinned and said, "Heidy, I've heard what happened between you and my uncle. I heard that he has a son, and they are in good relationship. Since his son is in a vegetative state because of you, I know that uncle will never forgive you."

Turning to her side, Heidy said with a half-smile, "If you want to make jokes about me, you have the wrong plan." As she spoke, she was about to leave, but her wrist was seized by Jack.

Staring at her beautiful profile, Jack wore a bright smile, "Heidy, come back to me."

"What?" She narrowed her eyes and looked at him in astonishment, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Looking at her, Jack said with a smile, "Of course I know. We were a couple for more than two years. As long as you have an abortion, I can forget the unpleasant experience and start over with you."

Hearing what he said, Heidy's eyes were filled with anger. "Do you think I will be your mistress?"

"If you are willing to marry me again, I can break off my engagement with Sherry and remarry you. In fact, I love you most, Heidy. I don't care what happened in the past," said Jack tenderly.

Heidy didn't say anything but looked at him. As Jack thought she was just thinking, Heidy raised her hand and slapped him hard on the face. "Shame on you," she said coldly.

Jack didn't expect that she would slap him. He was about to raise his hand to give her a slap, but she warned him in a warning tone, "I promise you will be utterly discredited, if you dare slap me."

He glared at her, and his eyes met hers. In the end, he didn't dare to take a risk. Jack snorted and said contemptuously, "Keep going. I'll wait and see how embarrassed you will be after you are dumped by

Hearst."

With her chin raised, she replied calmly, "Okay, wait for me." Then she turned around and walked to the elevator. Heidy pushed the closed bottom with a grim face. Heidy knew that Jack was a shameless man and he would never change.

The elevator was closed. She looked worried. If she divorced again, probably nobody in the whole city would marry her. Thinking of this, Heidy smiled bitterly. "Will we divorce?" murmured Heidy softly, lowering her head.
