With a heavy feeling in her heart, Myra touched her belly as she remembered the person who shoved her in the elevator. It seems like Sunny’s miscarriage is not a mere accident.
Tony came to pick her up at the end of the workday. She had deliberately asked him coyly to head upstairs to meet her.
He did not think too much about her request. When both of them walked into the elevator, she heaved a sigh when those outside did not follow them in.
After they went down and entered his car, she spoke as she buckled her seatbelt, “Can we go to the hospital today? One of my secretaries in the secretary department sufferered a miscarriage earlier today. I want to visit her.”
A shocked Tony scooted over to kiss her cheeks as he nodded. “Aren’t you scared?”
Myra hesitated for a moment before she nodded. “A little, especially when I heard that she had a miscarriage.” In fact, it was not just a little—she was quite fearful because she had an ominous feeling. She was still shocked and scared after hearing that Sunny had a miscarriage. “Nevertheless, let’s pay her a visit.”
Tony did not speak too much about it. He merely hugged her before driving in the direction of the hospital.
Outside the operation room, Sunny’s family were waiting for her outside as she was undergoing surgery. A nurse quickly walked to them with a document in her hands. With a serious expression on her face, she scanned through the family members as soon as she reached them. In a solemn tone, she asked, “Which one of you is Miss Sunny Parkfield’s family?”
“I am!”
“Me too!”
…
They unanimously replied to the nurse. Finally, a worried young man spoke in a hoarse voice, “Miss, I’m Sunny’s husband. If there’s anything, just update me.”
The nurse immediately cut to the chase and passed the document to Sunny’s husband. Pointing at one of the columns on the data, she answered in a low voice, “Based on our chemical report, Miss Parkfield’s miscarriage is not an accident. It’s highly probable that she has taken too much of XX medicine. If there is a need, you can ask Miss Parkfield exactly what happened after she wakes up.”
Before they had an opportunity to visit her, Sunny’s family members as well as Myra were shocked to hear that. This specific medicine had appeared in her life more than once. When she met Lyla, the latter suffered from a miscarriage. At that time, it was also announced that the reason was due to this medicine and Sean had misunderstood her as a result.
Upon hearing that the dangerous medicine was the cause of Sunny’s miscarriage, Myra was clearer than anybody else that Sunny would not have voluntarily taken the medicine. Even the nurse who had escorted Sunny all the way to the hospital assumed that she must have mistakenly consumed the medicine after seeing her reaction.
Mistakenly consumed it? Why is that medicine always appearing in our office? Tilly mentioned that Sunny had lunch with the other secretaries and she didn’t eat anything else alone. Logically speaking, none of this would happen, but she had a miscarriage.
After recalling the person who shoved her in the elevator today, Myra felt a tingle on her nerves. What if I was the person who took the medicine instead of Sunny? Will I have a miscarriage and our baby will be gone?
She subconsciously staggered backward.
Upon seeing Myra’s face turn pale in an instant, Tony’s expression changed immediately as he hugged her. In a gentle voice, he asked, “What’s wrong? If you are upset, we can leave first.”
When Sunny’s family saw Myra’s reaction, they felt slightly guilty and asked her to return home to take a good rest. After all, it was enough for them to stay here to take care of Sunny. As soon as the miscarriage occured, Myra had already arrived to send her best wishes to them and she even personally came to pay Sunny a visit. Those actions of hers had reassured them.
Hence, Myra did not insist on staying. After consoling Sunny’s family, she left the hospital with Tony.
It was only when both of them entered the car that Myra suddenly grabbed Tony’s hand, which was about to start the car engine. Her hands were slightly trembling after confirming that there was more to the matter than met the eye.
After noticing her emotions, his expression changed and he unbuckled both their seatbelts. Hugging her in an embrace, he stroked her back with his other hand. With a frown on his face, he asked, “Myra, what’s wrong?”
Still feeling the aftershock from the incident, she raised her pale face. As she opened her mouth, she said in a hoarse voice, “Tony…” After a moment of hesitation, she still voiced out the concern she had in her mind. “I think Sunny’s miscarriage is not an accident.”
“I know.” Tony was still frowning. He had heard the XX medicine at least three times before and none of the incidents before the miscarriage was a coincidence.
“When I was walking out of the elevator today… Someone shoved me.” Biting her lips, Myra revealed the fragility in her eyes. After all, it was the worst feeling that there was a possibility that she may not be able to protect her baby. “I’m sure the person who shoved me is doing it intentionally, but I don’t know who the person is.”
She suspected that the medicine that Sunny had mistakenly taken was actually meant for her.
“I’m not sure whether it’s just my illusion, but in the office today, people kept running into me, be it intentionally or not. I think I might stop going to the office for the time being.”
Myra had no idea what type of accidents could happen to her, so she would not take such a risk with her baby.
After hearing her words, Tony’s face immediately darkened. When he saw her worry, he gently patted her back and pressed her head to his chest. “Don’t worry about this too much. If you are tired, just take a good rest at home. I’ll send you back to the Hart Residence for the next few days so that Grandpa and Grandma can take good care of you. You can also rest well there.”
She did not reject his proposal, but she also did not see the flash of anger and darkness in his eyes at that moment.
Judging by what she had just told him, the Stark Group was indeed unsafe for her at that moment. He never expected that someone would dare to publicly shove her in the Stark Group.
After sending her back to the Hart Residence, she would take a few days to rest there.
When Myra was taking a shower in the bathroom, Tony grabbed his phone and cigarette. Then, he opened the glass door that divided the bedroom and balcony before entirely closing it.
As night had fallen, the autumn air was crisp and cold, emphasizing the coldness in Tony’s eyes even more. He took out his phone and dialled a number. While waiting for his call to be answered, he planned to light up his cigarette. However, after he recalled something, he took the cigarette from his mouth and threw it into a nearby ashtray.
Soon, the call connected. Suppressing his fury and coldness, he immediately spoke in a low voice without caring what the other person would think, “Was it you?”
Lyla picked up the call secretly in the bathroom in her room. As soon as she heard his quiet anger, she froze before asking subconsciously, “What? Me?”
After hearing her reply, his face turned even darker. “Nothing.”
With that, he immediately hung up. Although his eyes were pitch black, there was a sharp glow within them.
After Lyla hung up the weird call from Tony, she quickly walked out of the bathroom after she tidied herself up.
However, as soon as she walked out of the bathroom, she met Eve, who was in a foul mood. Appraising Lyla from head to toe, Eve’s eyes were seething with anger. “Lyla, don’t think that I don’t know what you have been doing behind our backs!”
