Chapter 24


    In the afternoon.


    Kelsey was helping me fill the refrigerator. After telling me what to eat, she walked over and said,


    "Director, the final payment of the government hospital has been dyed for a few days. The finance


    department has been asking me about the situation. Do you want to give Mr. Hammer a call?"


    I took a few bites of the durian in my hands and just couldn''t stomach it. Therefore, I decided to throw it


    into the trash can. I noticed that Kelsey was standing there obediently, hence I motioned for her to sit


    down. I wiped my hands before saying, "How long has it been dyed?"

    "About two to three days!" She paused for a moment before continuing, "It''s not that long, but since


    there are more funds here, thepany has nned to use it for the development of the new market.


    However, since it''s now dyed, it will affect thepany''s profits in the next quarter."


    I nodded in response. Roberts Group''s capital happened to be quite flexible and any dys by their


    partners would affect them, even though it might not be very significant. The funds Richard had in his


    possession were incredibly massive. Even if the money was not used for investments, by saving them


    in the bank alone, it would have brought quite the profit in just two to three days.


    I spoke after a brief pause, "Mr. Hammer has always kept his promise. I''ve spent the past few days


    recovering at home and havepletely forgotten about this matter. I will be responsible for this. Why


    don''t you head over to inform the folks at the finance department? I''ll take care of everything


    immediately after I feel a little better."


    "Okay!" She replied. She then got up and went ahead to cook.


    I grabbed my phone and read Mrs. Hammer''s text. "Are you feeling better now, Mrs. Roberts? The


    funds from Richard have been transferred over and it''s all thanks to you."


    It seemed Richard has no issues anymore and I''m able to return to work in advance. After replying with


    a simple text, I gave Richard a call to make an appointment with him to settle the final payments of the


    contract.


    Kelsey was already done cooking by the time I took care of work. She had to excuse herself earlier


    since she had something urgent to take care of, thus I didn''t make her stay for a meal. I said after


    noticing how much of a hurry she was in, "I''m feeling much better now. You can stay at the office and


    take care of some work at thepany tomorrow since I''ve made an appointment with Mr. Hammer; I


    can get this done by tomorrow.''


    She nced at me and spoke in a concerned tone, "Are you sure you''re okay? Aren''t you supposed to


    rest for half a month after losing your child? How many days have you been resting?"


    I chuckled and said, "Oh please, do I look like I''m not fine? Besides, Mr. Hammer will continue to dy


    this matter if I don''t show up. If this keeps up, how much would thepany actually lose then? If that


    happens, mocking me coldly isn''t the only thing Hendrix will do."


    I didn''t actually terminate my pregnancy anyway. Plenty of things would have been dyed just by


    doing nothing all day. Judging from my increasingly protruding belly, it would mean a much greater


    world of trouble to me if I never drew a clear line with Hendrix.


    The only thing I can do this moment is to make every second count and take care of everything before


    leaving Ucrebury.


    After listening to what I said, she sighed and replied, "Fine. However, you need to put your health first


    before anything."


    I returned to the dining table and resumed my meal after sending Kelsey off. It feels lonely eating


    alone. However, I feltzy to head out since it was alreadyte.


    I hastily took a few bites before returning to my room. Since Hendrix never returned home and I had


    nothing else to do, I kept myself busy by reading for thest two days. If my child and I were to


    permanently live in Andnd, we had to look for afortable ce to settle down. Hence, I was


    browsing the inte to look for a ce to live in Andnd.


    I was startled when I received a sudden phone call. The caller ID showed it was Monique. I picked up


    the call and before I could even say a word, I could hear her screaming.


    "Did you really get rid of your child? ! "
