Chapter 613 Irritable
Upon hearing Isabella tell him to leave, Leon held back for a long time before finally saying, "You think I want to deal with you? I just felt sorry for you, an older single woman, with a broken leg and no one to care for you."
The term "older single woman" immediately made Isabella feel both ashamed and angry. She stared at Leon with sadness, clutching the blanket beside her.
Seeing Isabella's reaction, Leon was instantly stunned!
At that moment, he realized he had spoken without thinking. He wanted to apologize but found it hard to say the words.
Then, Isabella shouted loudly, "So what if I'm an older single woman? So what if I can't get married? What does it have to do with you? I don't need you to worry about me, and I don't need your pity. Get out, leave right now! You're not welcome here."
After saying that, Isabella angrily threw a pillow from the bed at Leon, hitting him.
Leon caught the pillow, feeling very frustrated, but still stubbornly said, "You think I want to be here? I'm going. I have better things to do than argue with you."
After speaking, Leon placed the pillow back on the bed and then turned and walked out of the bedroom.
When he reached the front door, Leon paused.
He glanced back towards the bedroom, but ultimately pushed the door open and left.
After Leon left, Isabella cried in frustration, cursing, "Leon, you bastard."
After leaving Isabella's rented apartment, Leon stood downstairs for a while, looking up at the window of Isabella's home.
Although he felt uneasy, there was nothing he could do. He then ordered some takeout and gave Isabella's address, thinking that as long as she had food, she wouldn't have any major problems. He had urgent business to report to Seb, so he drove away.
Leon had received some news about Susan, so he went to the hospital to verify it. He didn't dare to tell Seb unverified information, especially since it was about Susan.
Just as Leon arrived at the hospital entrance, he saw a car accident ahead, and the injured person was Isabella.
Seeing Isabella injured, Leon was very anxious and took her to the emergency room for treatment. That's what happened.
Shortly after, Leon hurriedly walked into the CEO's office of Prosperity Group.
"Mr. Anderson, Ms. Wilson is in trouble!" Leon said urgently to Seb, who was looking down at some documents.
Hearing this, Seb immediately looked up, his hand holding the pen froze!
"What happened to her?" Seb's brows furrowed tightly, showing his tension.
"Don't worry, she's fine now, but..." Leon quickly explained, seeing Seb's anxiety.
Seb suddenly stood up, walked around the desk, and grabbed Leon's arm, asking, "Explain clearly, what exactly happened?"
"Ms. Wilson had a miscarriage, it was an ectopic pregnancy," Leon replied.
Hearing this, Seb was immediately stunned!
A miscarriage? Ectopic pregnancy? Susan was pregnant? When did this happen? How come he didn't know anything about it?
Seb then quickly turned and walked out.
"Mr. Anderson," Leon called out, quickly grabbing Seb's suit and following him out.
Seeing Seb hurriedly walking towards the elevator, the secretary, Ellie, frowned and said, "Mr. Anderson, you have an important appointment in five minutes."
But Seb directly pressed the elevator button, completely ignoring Ellie's words.
At this moment, Leon had already come out and quickly said to Ellie, "Cancel that appointment immediately, Mr. Anderson has an urgent matter and needs to go out!"
"But..." Ellie frowned in difficulty.
"You hear me? Cancel all of Mr. Anderson's appointments after 4 PM today," Leon said, and as the elevator arrived, he quickly followed Seb into it.
Ellie, left bewildered, could only follow Leon's instructions.
The elevator descended quickly, Seb's hand pressed against the elevator wall, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
Susan was pregnant? When did she get pregnant? How come he didn't know anything about it?
The next moment, Seb stepped forward and grabbed Leon's shoulders, glaring and asking, "How long has Susan been pregnant? How is she now?"
"She's in the hospital. If it's an ectopic pregnancy, the pregnancy should be very short, maybe just one or two months," Leon quickly answered.
He and Susan had been divorced for two months, it seemed that Susan didn't know she was pregnant when they divorced.
Knowing that they had lost a child, Seb punched the elevator wall twice, leaving two dents instantly.
"Mr. Anderson, please calm down. Although the child couldn't be saved, fortunately, Ms. Wilson is fine," Leon advised with a frown.
"She must be heartbroken right now!" Seb glared at Leon.
Leon knew that nothing he said could ease Seb's anxiety, so he remained silent.
"When did this happen? Why didn't you inform me earlier?" Seb asked impatiently.
"I only found out a few hours ago. I didn't dare to tell you before confirming it, knowing you would be agitated," Leon explained.
"I'm even more agitated now!" Seb glared at Leon.
At that moment, the elevator doors opened, and Seb ran out!
Leon almost wore out the car horn, but the cars ahead didn't move an inch.
Sitting in the back seat, Seb frowned and stared ahead. "Why is it so congested?"
"It's the weekend, people probably left work early, so the rush hour came earlier," Leon answered.
"How long will it take to get to the hospital at this rate?" Seb said irritably, then turned and opened the car door to get out.
"Mr. Anderson, where are you going?" Leon immediately got out of the car.
Seb jogged forward and said to Leon, "I'm running there!"
Seeing Seb indeed running, Leon anxiously shouted, "It's five miles to the hospital. It will take you forever!"
But Leon's shouting was of no use to the already anxious Seb.
At this moment, he had only one thought: he had to see Susan immediately. He didn't want her to be alone in her sorrow, and she needed his comfort. He knew losing the child must be devastating for her.
At dusk, Susan finally woke up from her sleep. She had slept soundly and even dreamed of Seb.
