Need You Now

Chapter 94 I Was Sure It Was Not Because I Miss Her

Outside the ward of the hospital, Heidy held the bouquet in her hands, standing in front of the door. Looking at the little boy in bed, she had mixed feelings. Taking a deep breath, she walked into the room bravely.

Seeing her coming, Annie stepped in front of her and said unhappily, "What are you doing here? Get out."

Taking a glance at her, she said in a calm tone, "I came here to see Gavin, and Hearst is okay with it." With that, Heidy let go of her hand and continued to walk forward.

Astonishment was written all over Annie's face. She said in disbelief, "How could Hearst allow you to come here? Shame on you!"

Heidy sat on the edge of the bed. Looking at Gavin's ruddy face, she said in a hoarse voice, "Believe it or not. I want to stay with Gavin alone for a while? Can you go outside for a minute?"

"It's impossible. You will never have the chance to hurt him again," Annie shouted. "Heidy, get out!"

Heidy raised her head and said in a cold tone, "Annie, you are just an ordinary aunt to Gavin. But I'm his mother. You're not Hearst's wife. Why are you yelling here? Get out, or I can call Hearst. Since he allowed me to come here, I think he will allow me to stage with Gavin alone for a while."

Looking at the face of Heidy, Annie wanted to refute her, but she realized that she didn't have the advantage in this conversation. At the thought of this, Annie said with a snort, "You'd better not play tricks, or else, Hearst won't let you off." After that, she left reluctantly.

At the moment, there were only Heidy and Gavin in the ward. Slowly and gently, she picked up his warm palm, and her heart thumped. Heidy clenched her fist. She whispered, "Gavin, I seldom hold your hand like this, right? You don't want to admit that I'm your mother, right?"

Gavin in bed remained silent, as if he was listening to her. Looking at the little face, tears had fallen on her cheeks unconsciously. Heidy didn't even bother to wipe the blood off her face. She said in a bitter tone, "Gavin, do you still remember what you asked me the other day? In fact, I don't hate you. I'm just afraid that I don't have the courage to accept you."

In fact, she dared not to mention the past. As a result, when she knew that Gavin was the child three years ago, she wanted to hide herself. She was even afraid of getting along with Gavin. That fear would unconsciously affect her. Even if she wanted to pretend to be calm, she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Placing the back of his hand on her cheek, Heidy sobbed, "Gavin, I regret giving you the honest answer that day. If you hadn't left angrily and I had caught up with you in time, you wouldn't have suffered the pain right now. Gavin, I'm sorry."

Thinking of the situation she was in with Hearst, Heidy burst into tears again. She didn't know how long she had cried before she stopped. Wiping away the tears, she raised her hand and placed it on his face. Feeling his temperature, she reminded him softly. "Gavin, please wake up. I hope you can be sober soon. As long as you can wake up, I will take good care of you."

Heidy felt extremely guilty when Gavin was in a coma. At the same time, she suddenly realized that she didn't hate him as much as she thought. Besides, only when Gavin woke up could she clean herself.

"Gavin, in fact... If you are in the coma forever, your father and I may be over. He doesn't believe me and I can't prove my innocence. Gavin, please wake up early, please," Heidy held his hand and pleaded.

However, Gavin's eyes were still closed. And she could only hear the sound of the instruments. Seeing this, Heidy sighed softly and said with a smile, "I'll wait for you."

Outside the ward, Noah and Hearst stood side by side. They overheard Heidy's words. Seeing Hearst walking away, Noah followed him. He came to his side and stood side by side in front of the window of the corridor. "I don't think she was acting." Noah said with a smile. "Is there any secret about this?"

Looking ahead, Hearst replied in a low voice, "In fact, I always don't believe it was her, but I still can't find any evidence to prove her innocence, and I can't convince myself either."

Patting him on the shoulder, Noah said seriously, "Sometimes you have to believe in not only the evidence, but also what you see with your eyes. One's eyes won't lie. The eyes of Heidy are clear and innocent. She is not a calculating woman."

On the other hand, Hearst kept silent and said nothing. He looked so cold that no one could understand what he was thinking.

The quarrel between Heidy and Hearst was still going on, and life wouldn't stop for this reason. Heidy didn't want to have time to think about this mess, so she put all her time on work. And meanwhile, she was glad that she had been so busy with her work.

In the evening, Heidy was going to attend a banquet. She wore a slim dress and her lower abdomen was not clear yet, so no one could not figure out whether she was pregnant or not. She wore a pair of 5 cm high heels but she couldn't get used to it. These days, in order to protect the fetus, she always wore flat shoes.

The assistant Chen walked up to her and reminded her, "Boss, there must be many people toasting tonight."

"That's why I brought you here," Heidy said and chuckled.

When she arrived at the party, she found that many other businessmen were chatting happily. Seeing her coming, they said enthusiastically, "Ms. Heidy, welcome. It's an honor for you to be here today."

She nodded politely and said with a gentle smile, "It's my honor to be invited."

"I have arranged some show tonight. Be sure to enjoy them. Have a good time," said Bruce smilingly.

Heidy apologetically said, "I guess Mr. Bruce has heard about my pregnancy, so I will enjoy the dinner tonight, and my assistant will drink for me. Is that all right?"

On hearing that, Bruce immediately smiled and said, "Oh, right. I almost forget it. I haven't congratulated on for your pregnancy yet. Where is Mr. Hearst? why don't you come with him together today?"

As Bruce mentioned about him, something flashed quickly through Heidy's eyes, and she calmly replied: "My husband and I both like to keep our personal lives and business separate."

She simply replied, but explained the reason why they didn't come here together. Bruce understood what she meant and nodded. When he was about to say something, he looked away joyfully and said, "Mr. Hearst, Mr. Noah."

Heidy's body instantly became stiff. Slowly, she turned around, only to see Hearst standing calmly with one hand in his pocket. She looked at him with her mouth slightly opened. She hadn't seen him since she left his villa that day. They were the closest couple in the world, but they were all strangers to each other now. Thinking of this, Hearst had mixed feelings.

At the sight of him, Heidy looked away unconsciously. Seeing this, assistant Chen asked in a low voice, "Boss, why didn't you say hello to Mr. Hearst? Otherwise, people will spread rumors about you,"

She smiled bitterly and said slowly, "Seeing me won't make him feel good."

The assistant understood their conflict and could only sigh lightly, "I believe that sooner or later, he'll figure it out."

Without answering, Heidy just looked ahead, but her eyes fell on him unconsciously. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Following that, the banquet began. Many people were active in games, which made the whole banquet very harmonious. Assistant Chen had been drinking the alcohol for Heidy since she was pregnant, so he had to go to the bathroom for several times.

And Heidy could only drink some juice there and had a lot of it. Subconsciously, she wanted to stay away from Hearst. But unknowingly, she was only half a meter away from him. Suddenly, she turned around and their eyes met in the air.

Hearst looked away before she opened her mouth and wanted to say something. He looked like a stranger. Seeing this, Heidy lowered her head with a bitter smile. She recollected herself and turned to the stage.

When she was enjoying the show, a naughty child suddenly shuttled through the crowd and pushed Heidy by accident. Heidy stepped back instinctively and her body leaned aside as her high heels became unstable.

When she was about to fall down, Hearst stretched out his hand to hold her tiny waist subconsciously. He stopped her from falling down. Then he used his strength to hold her firmly.

Realizing that she didn't fall down, Heidy let out a sigh of relief. Looking up at his cold eyes, she took a few steps forward and said, "Thank you..."

Before she finished her words, Hearst moved his hand away and looked away calmly. At the sight of this, Heidy lowered her eyes slowly. Sensing that the warmth of his palm faded away on her waist, she was lost in thought for a moment. "Thank you anyway." Heidy walked forward slowly.

Watching her leave, Hearst remained silent. Standing beside him, Noah smiled and said, "It seems that you still care about her. Your subconscious action can show your sincerity. Don't you come here for her

tonight?"

Then, he picked up a glass of champagne, trying to cover his awkward face. He explained, "I just want to see if she drinks."

Shrugging her shoulders, Noah said with a smile, "Really? Are you sure it's not because you miss her?"

The blush on his face turned red. He coughed to cover his embarrassment. Hearing no response from him, Noah left with his glass of wine. Then he put down his glass and walked towards the door with a cold face. Since she had left, there was no need for him to stay.

Looking at his back, Noah said jokingly, "you are just a man of duplicity."
