“What?” Vivian doubted she had heard correctly, and asked uncertainly, “What did you say?”
Vivian’s voice suddenly rose, and Luzia and the others outside the ward all heard. The four of them looked at each other, not knowing what had suddenly changed from being fine just now.
Shelley looked through the transparent ss on the ward door and saw that Vivian seemed a bit agitated. “Are they quarreling? What’s going on?”
Luzia was also a bit confused, but based on experience, it was definitely something jos said that he shouldn’t have. “It must be jos being his usual self.”
“Exactly,” Shelley agreed, “jos is such an egomaniac!”
Luzia followed up with a mutter, “Yes, and he’s selfish, domineering, and authoritarian!”
Mare and Festus stood on either side of the door, listening to the two women’s usations against jos. They nced at each other and then silently averted their eyes, tacitly refraining frommenting on the usations.
When the emotions of the two arguing inside had calmed down a bit, Mare gently knocked on the door.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.
Vivian needed rest; her emotions couldn’t be that agitated.
The door to the ward was opened, and the four people at the door entered one after the other. Luzia was the first to run to Vivian and reached out to embrace her.
“What foolish thing have you done again, jos?” Luzia questioned loudly.
“Are you using me, Luzia?” jos suppressed his anger.
Luzia rolled her eyes at him. “Of course, jos. Vivian is pregnant, she has just encountered danger, and she is still weak. Even if you can’t be gentle with her, you shouldn’t be so irritable!”
“You don’t know anything, don’t voice your ridiculous and stupid opinions!” jos roared.
“jos, please calm down,” Shelley said, reaching out and handing a tissue to Vivian. “Vivian, are you feeling better? Can you tell us what happened?”
Vivian cried, her eyes reddening. She covered her face with the tissue and said with a sob, “I don’t want to go to the sanatorium.”
Luzia understood as soon as she heard this. Frowning, she asked jos, “Are you nning to send Vivian to the sanatorium?”
“This is the most prudent course of action,” jos said with a serious expression.
“But how can you ensure that the sanatorium is safe?” Luzia asked. “Which sanatorium do you n to send Vivian to?”
“The MD Rehabilitation Sanatorium,” jos said.
“What?” Luzia searched for the sanatorium in Houston in her mind; it seemed that there was no such name. It was Shelley who reminded her, “The MD Rehabilitation Sanatorium is one of the most well-known sanatoriums in Hawaii, famed for itspletely independent and highly secure security system. Many internationally renowned politicians and prominent figures in the business sector have stayed there.”
Shelley knew more than Vivian and Luzia, and she was calmer than them. “If Vivian can stay there, safety will be guaranteed. Perhaps it’s a good choice.”
“Hawaii…” Luzia muttered. “Do we really have to go there? It’s too far.”
“And who will go with Vivian?” jos was definitely out of the question. He couldn’t leave Houston for more than a month. Simpson and Vilem were both busy with their own tasks, and even she herself would soon return to Los Angeles with Joseph.
Luzia counted and realized that apart from Mare, who was Vivian’s bodyguard, there was no one familiar to Vivian who could apany her to the sanatorium in Hawaii for more than five months.
“I don’t want to go.” A strange ce, jos’s strong attitude had caused great panic for Vivian. “Just let me stay in Houston. I will stay obediently in the apartment; I won’t go anywhere. I beg you to let me stay.”
Vivian looked pitiful, and jos couldn’t bear it, but his decision wouldn’t change. “I really hope you can stay by my side, let me see you healthy, and the child safe.”
“But Vivian, you’ve been exposed. Whether it’s Bratva, Joseph, or Bryson, they should all know that you are pregnant. This is a huge disaster that could make me lose you at any time.” jos analyzed the current situation with a heavy heart. “I can’t bear the risk of losing you, and Houston can’t afford any more setbacks. I have to send you away.”
“But I, I…” Vivian cried, “I will be afraid.”
“Don’t be afraid, Vivian. Marewill be with you. When Emmert finishes his mission and returns, I will have him fly to Hawaii to protect you.” jos tried to control his emotions andforted her, “You know Emmert, he’s a genius sniper. No enemy can escape his ambush. With him and Mare, you will be very safe.”
“What about you?” Vivian grabbed his sleeve and asked, “Will you apany me?”
jos paused.
Vivian knew that jos was so busy; Houston needed his protection. He couldn’t leave Houston to go to Hawaii with her.
“Will youe to see me?” Vivian knew she couldn’t refuse jos. She couldn’t change jos’s decision; she could only choose topromise.
“I wille to see you at the right time.”
jos made a promise, and Vivian chose to believe him.
Even though they both knew that this “right time” might be a very long time in the future.
Although Dr. Yoshiye had suggested to jos a long time ago to send Vivian to Hawaii, jos had not considered this aspect. The preparations on the Hawaii side were stillcking, and Vivian’s current condition was not good enough to depart immediately.
“I will inform Hawaii to prepare as soon as possible.” Dr. Yoshiye came over to examine Vivian, and also discussed further arrangements with jos. “Vivian’s physical condition is very good, the baby is also healthy, a few days of bed rest and she can leave the hospital.”
“By then, the procedures on the Hawaii side should also be almost ready, and Vivian can go directly there.”
“Thank you for your trouble,” jos thanked Dr. Yoshiye.
Dr. Yoshiye smiled and said it was no trouble, “I am d that my advice can be of help to you.”
Dr. Yoshiye had been the personal doctor of jos’s brother’s mother, Lady Hyna, since childhood, and had watched the brothers grow up. It was inevitable that he would have a little extra care, “Unfortunately, I can only help you so much.”
“You have already helped me a lot.”
Knowing that jos needed to discuss further arrangements with Dr. Yoshiye and that Mare also needed to stay behind to protect Vivian, Shelley, who was anxious to go to the port, walked past the two of them and asked Luzia, “Do you want to go back with us first?”
“No, I want to stay and apany Vivian,” Luzia refused Shelley’s proposal. “If you have urgent matters, you go first. Festus, please safely take Shelley home.”
“I will, Miss Luzia,” Festus, who was Shelley’s exclusive driver today, said.
Festus walked to the elevator and pressed the button.
“Today was really thrilling, fortunately Vivian is okay.” While waiting for the elevator, Shelley said to Luzia, “With such a big thing happening to Vivian, her brothers should being back soon, right?”
Shelley was mainly inquiring about Joseph.
