Chapter 71
In the afternoon, David registered a company called East League International Investment Limited Company. Pearl was the general manager, and Golden Leaf Hotel was its subsidiary.
However, it was still a mere shell. He needed to wait for Pearl to hire various talents to expand the company
The next day.
When David arrived at Golden Leaf Hotel, he found Sam and his family hiding in a corner of the outdoor parking lot.
Sure enough, they had not given up.
David ignored them and went straight into the hotel.
The morning went by slowly.
David received a parcel halfway through the day. It was a high-tier membership badge from SCC headquarters.
It was called a badge, but it was actually a ring with the SCC logo on it.
Just as David was about to leave, he received an unexpected phone call.
It was from Sarah’s best friend, Sophie.
She told David that Sarah had suddenly fainted and was now in the hospital.
David was stunned when he received the call.
‘What does Sarah fainting have to do with me?’
‘She dumped me!
‘Shouldn’t you be calling Leo?’
David tried to ignore it.
However, he still could not convince himself after thinking about it.
T’ll just go!’
After all, it was four years of my life.’
‘Think of it as a closure!
He drove to the hospital Sophie had told him about and bought some fruits along the way.
Driving a limited-edition Bugatti Veyron to buy fruits naturally caused a stir.
The fruit stand was so crowded while the owner was delighted, of course. They soon sold what they usually sold in a day.
Therefore, David bought a lot of fruits today.
He was walking down the hospital hallway when he suddenly heard two voices coming from a consultation room.
“Doctor, will you please help my mother? I beg you!”
“Oh! Sir, our hospital isn’t a charity. How can we treat you if you have no money?”
“Treat her first. I’ll come up with the money!”
“I’ll tell you the truth, Sir! Your mother’s very sick. It’s a long shot even after having surgery in our hospital. Why don’t you look for a hospital with more advanced medical equipment? You’ll have a better chance of success that way!”
“Doctor, how long does my mother have to live?”
“Without the surgery, she should have three more months to live. If the surgery’s successful, she can live for a decade or so. But she might not even have three months to live if it failed.”
David glanced casually as he walked past the consultation room.
A man in his thirties was begging a doctor in his fifties to save his mother.
David ignored it. This kind of thing happened every day.
A lifetime of hard work would be gone after a serious illness.
He entered the ward that Sophie had told him earlier.
Sophie was sitting at the hospital bedside as Sarah lay pale on the bed while a doctor examined her.
David came in and put the fruits on the chair.
Joy flickered in Sarah’s pale face when she saw David walking in.
She knew Sophie must have told David.
David stood there and did not move.
When the doctor finished the examination, they turned around and saw David right behind them.
“You must be the patient’s boyfriend! I can’t believe you youngsters. The patient’s already three weeks pregnant, and she’s weak. It would be bad for the baby if this went on. If you don’t want the baby, you can only have an operation after she gets stronger.”
‘Pregnant?
David felt a buzz in his head and tearing pain in his heart after hearing the doctor’s words,
Four years!
For full four years!
He had brought food to Sarah under her dorm building day and night, rain or shine.
He had worked many part-time jobs only to feel happy that he could buy Sarah a gift after getting his pay.
They had many good times and bad times together.
They had thought of the future where they would get married and have lovely children.
However, he never thought they would end up like this.
He was with Sarah for four years and had never touched her against her will.
He could not believe she got pregnant right after she started dating someone else.
How ironic.
Was a four-year relationship really that cheap? It was nothing compared to a new L Brand bag.
David took a deep breath and said, “I see! Thank you, doctor!”
What little hope Sarah had left was gone after the doctor told David that she was pregnant.
Her already pale face got even paler.
She opened her mouth to try to say something.
However, she realized she could not make a sound.
Sophie did not expect things to turn out this way.
Seeing her bestie crying every day, she wanted to help her get David back.
She knew David was still in love with Sarah.
She witnessed all their loving times together.
However, this was not what she had predicted.
A moment later, the doctor left and the ward fell silent.
Finally, Sarah broke the silence by saying, “David, I’m sorry!” “There’s nothing to be sorry about. Everyone has the right to choose. Since you’ve chosen this path, I’ll wish you good luck.”
“David, I’m so sorry! If I hadn’t been so vain and accepted Leo’s gifts, I would have been able to refuse Leo’s invitation to his party, and I wouldn’t have gotten so drunk that he could take advantage of me. It was already too late when I woke up the next day,” sobbed Sarah.
Strangely, Sarah’s explanation did not stir David’s heart at all.
He thought he would get angry and go to Leo for revenge, but he did not.
Was she really just drunk?
Perhaps there were other reasons.
It was because this happened to his cousin Lily the other day.
If Sarah had been determined, would Leo stand a chance?
At the end of the day, their four-year relationship was just not strong enough. Sarah already had such ideas, so there would have been someone else even if it was not Leo.
“Alright! Since you’re okay, I got to go.”
David did not want to stay. He wanted to leave.
Sarah froze. David’s reaction was not what she expected.
He had no anger toward Leo, and he did not feel bad for her. There was only calmness.
After knowing David for four years, he should not react like this.
She realized she did not understand David at all.
David walked out of the ward.
He told himself, ‘Goodbye… Sarah….
With that, he found closure for his relationship of four years. Sarah would be in the past from now on.
Unable to suppress it any longer, Sarah’s sobs came from the ward. However, he had nothing to do with it anymore.
