Chapter 831


    Hanging his head low, Howard said, "The doctor said that... she had a miscarriage."


    As soon as he finished speaking, Grandpay straight on the bed.


    "Grandpa!"


    Howard shrieked in shock.


    With his eyes closed, Grandpa waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.


    In spite of that, ine could see Grandpa trembling slightly and his hands that were grasping the


    sheets. He was obviously suppressing his emotions that were about to erupt...


    Howard opened his mouth, but nothing came out of it.


    Eventually, Grandpa slowly opened his eyes and blurted, "I''m sure the baby is yours. She fell down


    in front of me on purpose because she doesn''t want the baby to be born..."


    Startled, Howard muttered, "Grandpa..."


    "Someone sent her here. She never wanted the baby. She came because she wanted to tell me


    that the mistake that Imitted back then hase back to bite me. Our family will extinct


    eventually..."


    "Howard, I''m sorry. It''s my fault that your child dies before he can see the world..."


    Grandpa was getting emotionally distressed. "It''s my fault. It''s all my fault..."


    As Howardforted him, he thought of giving him another dose of sedative if he didn''t calm down.


    As for ine, she stood beside them in a daze.


    The guilt swamped her mind and soul. She felt that it was she who had caused the Perkins Family


    to this miserable state...


    She shouldn''t have stayed here.


    For the sake of the Perkins Family and Howard, she should leave.


    Fortunately, Grandpa slowly calmed down and fell asleep after Howard consoled him for a long


    time.


    Breathing a sigh of relief, he turned and saw ine standing in the corner with her head lowered,


    not knowing what was bothering her.


    "ine?"


    He called.


    Slowly, she raised her head and muttered, "What''s


    wrong?"


    Seeing her slightly red eyes, Howard was taken aback and quickly strode to her side. "What


    happened? Did you cry?"


    Shaking her head, ine whispered, "I''m just a little sad. Grandpa was fine two days ago, but now


    he is in the hospital, and has an emotional breakdown..."


    Howard''s lips twitched. "Silly girl."


    Looking up at him, ine asked, "Dr. Perkins, don''t you think it''s my fault?"


    "Why did you say that?"


    "If it weren''t for me, you wouldn''t have gotten into trouble with him, and there wouldn''t have been so


    much trouble in your family."


    "How can I me this on you? If what happened to me and Grandpa was Vincent''s doings, he


    should be to me. He is the culprit!"


    His remark only made her even guiltier.


    Then, another doctor came over and informed them that Norissa''s surgery was over and was


    resting in the ward.


    Agitated, Howard cautioned, "Stay here and look after Grandpa. I''ll be back soon."


    "What do you want to do?" asked ine.


    Howard sneered, "Doing some exnation." Norissa was lying on the hospital bed with tears in the


    corner of her eyes. She had been a few months pregnant, so she had developed feelings for the


    baby.


    Caressing her t tummy, the rims of her eyes turned red.


    "You can cry? That''s surprising."


    A sarcastic voice came from the side.


    Raising her head abruptly, she saw Howard leaning against the door, so she wanted to sit up but felt


    rather weak. "Howard, we lost our baby..."


    Howard closed the door and walked in. "Our baby?"


    Hearing the intimidating tone from his mouth, Norissa shrunk timidly. "Yes! The baby is yours. You


    have to believe me! I''m sad that we lost it..."


    Howard interjected, "How did it happen?"


    "I slipped..."


    "You slipped? I think you did it on purpose."

    "What are you talking about..."


    In an instant, Howard came to the bed and looked down on her. "Grandpa is my only family in this


    world and you almost killed him. If anything happens to him, I will avenge him. Do you think I''ll let


    you go so easily?"


    Widening her eyes in shock, she rebuked, "What do you mean? He is fine, isn''t he? Besides, I''m the


    victim here. How can you me me instead of feeling sorry for me?!"


    Howard sneered, "Why was he admitted to the hospital in the first ce? If it weren''t for you, none


    of this would have happened! Victim? I think you''re the perpetrator! Tell me, who sent you here?! Is


    it Vincent?"


    Aghast, Norissa stuttered, "I-1 don''t know what you''re talking about..."


    Howard looked at her expressionlessly.


    After regaining herposure, Norissa sensed that Howard didn''t know anything, which was why


    he came to her.


    He was obviously trying to get something out of her.


    With that, she was no longer nervous and said in a gentle voice, "You''re tensed up, aren''t you?


    Since you haven''t had much rest these days..."


    Howard smiled. "Yup, I''m."


    After a pause, he asked, "Did you read the news recently?"


    "What news?"


    "Something about me..."


    "Y-Yes, I did."


    "Then you should know that rumor has it that I killed my patient on the operating table..." He


    lowered his body and whispered, "Do you know how simple it is for a doctor to kill a patient?"


    Picking up the needle of the IV drip, he flicked it and cautioned, "For example, I can simply inject air


    into this little thing when you fall asleep, and before you know it, you''ll die quietly in your dream..."


    His eerie remark brought goosebumps on her arms.


    Widening her eyes in disbelief, she snapped, "What do you want to do?"


    "Nothing. I just want to know why did youe to me."


    Howard didn''t sleep well for a few days. He had dark circles, and there were traces of blood in his


    eyes.


    Expressionless, he looked exceptionally scary under his dark gaze.


    Feeling frightful, Norissa blurted.


    "Someone sent me to you. Something happened to my family and I needed money desperately, so I


    followed his instructions. He asked me to tell Grandpa that the retribution hase for what he did


    20 years ago and that your family will extinct without offspring. When Grandpa heard what I said, he


    suddenly became agitated and wanted to know who told me these. I wanted to avoid his approach,


    but I fell by ident, and he fell too..."


    Norissa sobbed, "That''s all I know. I''m sad that the baby is gone..."


    Howard remained expressionless. "What happened 20 years ago?"


    "I don''t know. That''s all the man told me. He said that your grandfather wanted to kill him, so he


    swore that he will retaliate..."


    Hearing this, Howard frowned.


    Returning to the ward, Howard did not see ine. Grandpa fell asleep, but even in his dreams, he


    was frowning uneasily.


    Just as a nurse came in, Howard asked, "Did you see the girl who came with me?"


    The nurse thought of something and took out a piece of paper from her pocket. "She asked me to


    give this to you before she left, and asked us to take good care of the patient..."


    Unfolding the paper, there was only a simple sentence on it, "Dr. Perkins, I''m leaving. Don''t look for


    me."


    As soon as he read it, Howard''s mind suddenly went nk.


    She left?


    What did that mean?


    Where was she going?


    He immediately took out his phone and called her, but her phone was turned off.
