Chapter 60: Last Resort


    A was a little surprised when the middle-aged woman from the other bed in the ward came to her.


    "What you''re eating is not nutritious enough for you and your baby.Have some chicken soup."


    The middle- aged woman put a bowl of chicken soup in front of her.  A lowered her gaze, looked at


    the steaming chicken soup, and said, "No, thanks.It''s okay.I''m just fine."


    "Just drink it.You have to eat well for the sake of your baby.But you can''t do that if you only rely on the


    food here.Small hospitals like this don''t actually serve good meals.Anyway, I''ve cooked a lot, and my


    daughter-in-w can''t drink it all.So just drink this, okay?"


    the woman said with a smile.  With a faint smile on her face, A picked up the bowl and said, "Thank


    you."


    "Are you alone? Why is there no one here to take care of you?" the woman then asked curiously.


    "Yes, I''m just alone,"


    A replied with a nod.She was alone now.But in the future, she had a child to apany her.


    "Poor girl! But don''t worry.Starting tomorrow, I''ll make more soup for you.The first trimester of


    pregnancy is the most crucial stage.You have to pay more attention to your body and health."


    The middle-aged woman might also have her own daughter, so she felt sorry and distressed when she


    saw that A was alone.


    Jaime had searched all the hotels and hospitals in the city, but he really couldn''t find A.  Brian was


    not worried at all.


    He believed that she couldn''t hide from him for the rest of her life.  A had already run out of cash, but


    she still couldn''t get out of bed.


    In the end, she had left with no choice, so she turned her phone on and called Toby.


    "L? Where are you?" Toby was so worried.


    He knew that something happened to A because Jaime came to him two days ago.


    "Toby, I''m in the hospital."


    She told Toby the name and the address of the hospital.


    Toby immediately bought some tonics and supplements and went to the hospital as fast as he could,


    "Why didn''t you call me sooner? Have you been alone here all the while?"


    He looked at A in disbelief.


    The hospital was so small, and the ward was crowded.


    "I...I''m sorry..."


    As much as possible, she didn''t want to bother him.


    But she was forced to do so because of her current situation.


    "Silly girl.Why are you apologizing to me? What do you want to eat? I''ll go out and buy it for you."


    Toby felt so sorry to see the sadness on A''s face.She looked so pale and pitiful too.


    "I don''t want to eat anything now.I just want to sleep.I feel so tired and sleepy."


    She felt more at ease now, knowing that Toby was by her side.  "Okay, take a rest now.I''ll just stay here


    with you,"


    Toby said while pulling the quilt for her.

    He couldn''t just leave her here like this.


    She needed someone to be with her right now.


    A held Toby''s hand tightly and soon fell asleep.


    During lunchtime, a nurse came with a bowl of cold porridge and a te of hard steamed buns for A.


    Toby couldn''t help frowning while looking at the tray.


    He wondered if she had been eating this food in the past two days.


    At this moment, the middle-aged woman with a daughter-inw in another bed came in.


    When she saw a man beside A''s bed, she couldn''t help walking forward and asked, "Are you


    Ms.Woodsen''s husband? What makes youe here sote? How can you let a pregnant woman


    stay here alone without something nutritious to eat? If this goes on, she won''t be able to survive, let


    alone the baby in her belly."


    What she said made Toby realize how much A had suffered when he was not by her side.


    When A woke up, she felt d that Toby was still there.


    "Toby..."


    "You''re awake."


    Toby stood up, adjusted the bed, and propped her up.


    After making sure that she was leaning against the bedfortably, he said, "Have a rest first.I''ll be


    back soon."


    But she stopped him.


    "Toby, can you help me withdraw money from the bank?"


    She handed over her passbook to him.


    Although there was not much money in it, it was enough for her to live in the hospital for a long time.


    He nced at it, but he didn''t take it.


    "Why do you still regard me as an outsider?"


    He then turned around and walked out of the ward.Looking at his receding back, she couldn''t help


    feeling sad.


    She really didn''t want to bother him, but she had no choice.


    He was herst resort.


    When Toby came back, he brought bird''s nest congee and various kinds of desserts.


    He put them on the bedside table and said, "L, eat something first.Don''t eat that cold porridge and


    steamed buns again."


    A took the hot porridge and desserts from him.


    "Thank you, Toby.I think I''ll be fine.You can leave now.I know you still have a lot of work to do in the


    company."


    "It''s okay.I''ve already asked Fred, my assistant, to cancel all my schedules for the next two days.I can


    stay here with you."


    He sat on the edge of the bed and took out a brown envelope with the thick cash he had withdrawn just


    now.


    He knew she needed money now "Did he drive you out of the vi?" he then asked in a low voice.


    She shook her head.


    "I ran away."


    Toby finally understood why Brian had sent some people to look for A.


    It turned out that she ran away from him.


    If he found out where she was, she would surely suffer a lot.


    "Toby, he doesn''t want to have a child.He wants to get rid of the baby in my belly."


    A held his hand tightly.


    It was as if she was gasping a life-saving straw.


    "Don''t worry too much.It will harm you and the baby.Just stay here and rest well.When the doctor says


    you can leave the hospital, you can live in my apartment."


    Knowing that she badly needed him at this moment of her life, he wanted to protect her.


    A didn''t say anything more.


    She just lowered her head and ate.


    Never did she think that what happened today would bring a disaster to her and Toby.


    And she would also have to pay a hefty price.  Brian''s mouth curled up with a sneer when he found out


    that A finally turned on her phone.


    "Jaime, let''s go to the hospital."


    Jaime got the car ready at once.


    "Mr.rk, do you want to go there now?"


    "Yes."


    Brian stood up from the sofa, took his coat, and walked out of his office.


    A sat on the bed with Toby by her side.


    His phone had already rung many times, so she said, "Toby, you can leave now.Don''t make her worry."


    She didn''t mind being alone in the hospital anyway.


    "I''ll just take this call."


    Toby walked out of the ward and answered his phone.


    "Molly, I''m dealing with something important right now."


    "You''re with that woman, aren''t you? I called your office.Fred said that you didn''te to thepany


    today."


    Molly had already had a bad feeling since this morning.


    "Molly, what are you talking about? I really have something to deal with.I''ll go backter.You can go to


    bed first.Don''t wait for me."


    Toby then hung up and turned off his phone.


    He knew that Molly wouldn''t stop pestering him until he went home.


    A vaguely heard his conversation on the phone, so when he came back inside, she said, "Toby, go


    home now.I am fine.I feel sleepy anyway.I''ll just sleep when you leave."


    "Okay, I''ll go.But I''ll wait until you fall asleep before I leave."


    Toby needed to make sure that she was okay.


    Otherwise, he wouldn''t feel relieved.


    A had justin down in bed for less than five minutes when she suddenly heard a noise outside.


    And before she could react, two men in ck came in, followed by Brian and Jaime.  "Mr...Mr.rk?"


    Looking at Brian''s gloomy expression, her whole body trembled.


    She was so scared.


    "Did I scare you?" Brian asked, standing by the bed.


    He was so angry when he found out that A used a different name in this hospital.


    No wonder Jaime couldn''t find her.


    Did she really want to escape from him and give birth secretly? She must be too naive.


    A just looked at him.


    No matter what, she couldn''t escape from him anyway.


    "You are so stupid!"


    Brian snapped as he clutched her slender arm fiercely.


    There was no gentleness in him at all.  "Let go of L!"


    Toby walked over and tried to pull Brian''s hand away.


    Did Brian think there was now? He wouldn''t let Brian take her away again, let alone hurt her.


    Brian turned to look at Toby and asked, "What''s the matter? Do you want to change your job because


    you are tired of being the Deputy CEO, Mr.Brown?"


    His voice was calm and indifferent but with a sense of endless majesty.  A shook her head.


    "Mr.rk, he has nothing to do with this.I ran away by myself."


    "No! It''s me.I''m the one who asked L to leave you because you are a demon!"


    Toby pushed Brian away forcefully and held A in his arms.
