    Chapter 1017 Sorry


    "I won''t,’ Dous replied. “Just rest up. Once the baby’s born, you''ll be the one taking care of it. I won''t


    take it from you,” he promised.


    Only then did Whitney rx. Exhaustion started overwhelming her. She had been losing sleeptely


    because of Dous’ case. Now that she finally felt sleepy, she yawned. Slowly, she drifted to sleep.


    Seeing the woman who was terrified a moment ago falling asleep so fast made Dous smile.


    He leaned forward and slowly ced her back down on the bed. Once he pulled the nket up, his


    phone started vibrating. He thought the call was from work, but then he saw that it was from Emily. He


    was hesitant to pick it up at first. Dous looked at the pale Whitney and walked out of the ward before


    he took the call.

    Emily cut to the chase. "Where are you?"


    "Back in the nation, Dous answered honestly.


    “You went to see her,” said Emily calmly.


    "Yes, answered Dous.


    "I told you not to see her. Can''t we just be a family?" Emily was getting a little agitated.


    Dous clenched his phone and hung his head low. He didn''t exin himself and only said,


    "I''m sorry. It''s my fault."


    Emily felt like everything she said didn''t evennd. She couldn''t even start an argument.


    Dous only tolerated her because she saved his life years ago, and he did everything she said, yet


    now he would break their peaceful life just for Whitney. Emily felt her breathing getting heavier, and she


    clenched her phone.


    "Lucy needs her father,’ she said, holding back her sorrow.


    "I know. I''ll be back in three days, so don''t worry, said Dous. He stood near the entrance of the ward,


    exhaustion filling the air around him.


    "Very well.” Emily hung up. She and Dous had an agreement before they got married. They were


    only a couple on the surface. The most intimate they had gotten was holding hands in public. Lucy’


    father.. The thought of that filled Emily with sadness, and she clenched her phone so hard, her knuckle


    turned white. He''s probably dead.


    Dous hung up and went back into the ward.


    Whitney was still asleep, and he looked at her. There were conflicting emotions brewing in his heart.


    They used to be deep in love back in college and he thought they would always be together, but then


    things happened. He did love


    Whitney, yes, but he also hated her. If it weren''t for what she did, his parents wouldn''t... Still,seeing her


    looking so frail made him sympathize with her.


    Sasha was locked in a confined space. She was injured and couldn''t stop coughing, but she still reeked


    of violence and malice. She sat ina corner clenching her fists over her knees. Even now, she still


    couldn''t believe that Alvin was dead.


    Alvin had stayed by her side all those years when she was in Undercity. She knew his constitution was


    poor, but his death still came as a shock. She never thought it woulde so quickly and she was at a


    loss. It felt like she had lost something important.
