Chapter 311\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAdrian, there are some things\u2026 about my past, that I haven\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n
had a chance to tell you. When I\u2019ve sorted out.my feelings, I\u2019ll\u00a0<\/p>\n
tell you everything, okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adrian\u2019s gaze softened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Perfect timing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had some things to tell her, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roderick and Bradley had been chatting with a few elders, but\u00a0<\/p>\n
after a while, he lost interest, noticing that Madeleine hadn\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n
returned yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou stay here with them. I\u2019m going to go check.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He stood up and patted Bradley\u2019s shoulder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bradley\u2019s face showed no expression, but inwardly, he couldn\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n
help but roll his eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 311\u00a0<\/p>\n
This guy probably has separation anxiety.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not like he\u2019s been away from his wife and kid for that long.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he got back to the rear courtyard, he saw Madeleine\u00a0<\/p>\n
talking to Kevin from a distance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As they talked, they went over to play with the small animals kept in the yard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They were all harmless little pets that the child loved.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roderick stood there watching from afar for a while, the corners of his lips curling up as he lingered for a long time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maybe it was telepathy, but Madeleine suddenly glanced in his\u00a0<\/p>\n
direction.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She noticed Roderick and quickly waved him over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat were you doing just standing over there for so long?\u00a0<\/p>\n
You looked silly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSilly?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roderick raised an eyebrow. \u201cSilly, and you still love me this\u00a0<\/p>\n
much.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 311\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo narcissistic.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her words weren\u2019t kind, but Madeleine had a big smile on her\u00a0<\/p>\n
face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two of them chatted for a bit before realizing something\u00a0<\/p>\n
was off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hmm\u2026 the little guy stuck between them was looking up at them with pleading eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oh no, Mommy and Daddy were so caught up in their\u00a0<\/p>\n
conversation they completely forgot about their baby. What to\u00a0<\/p>\n
do?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCome on, let\u2019s take a picture, the three of us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine, worried about leaving her son out, quickly pulled\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roderick down to squat with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRoderick, you get in the front.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
My face looks smaller in the back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roderick sighed fondly. Madeleine had said the same thing\u00a0<\/p>\n
every time they took a picture together since they started\u00a0<\/p>\n
dating.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 311\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just as he raised his phone to find an angle, a call lit up\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roderick\u2019s screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was Owen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His eyelid twitched, and he quickly stood up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHold on, it\u2019s my dad.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roderick gestured to Madeleine, stood up, and walked aside to\u00a0<\/p>\n
answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine, who had been smiling and hugging her son tightly,\u00a0<\/p>\n
lost her smile and watched Roderick\u2019s back with a confused\u00a0<\/p>\n
look.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kevin also quieted down obediently, blinking his big eyes as he\u00a0<\/p>\n
watched his dad.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roderick\u2019s father was originally going to come for Mr.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whitman\u2019s birthday, but he decided to stay home and take care\u00a0<\/p>\n
of Mrs. Miller, considering she was pregnant and not feeling\u00a0<\/p>\n
well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was thinking of inviting Rebecca\u2019s family over to the\u00a0<\/p>\n
Livingston\u2019s place for a private get\u2013together in a few days.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 311\u00a0<\/p>\n
A call at a time like this probably wasn\u2019t good news.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHey Dad, what\u2019s wrong?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the other end of the line, Owen\u2019s voice had lost its usual\u00a0<\/p>\n
calm, laced with clear anxiety and a barely perceptible tremble:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRoderick, where are you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAt Mr. Whitman\u2019s birthday party. Dad, what happened?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s Mrs. Miller\u2026 something happened to her. We\u2019re on our way\u00a0<\/p>\n
to the downtown hospital now. It\u2019s not looking good.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even for Owen, a man who had navigated the business world for years, his voice was now uncontrollably tense and worried.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roderick\u2019s heart sank.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs Bradley with you?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Have him contact the hospital for me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roderick glanced back at Madeleine and mouthed to her, \u201cCall\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bradley.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine understood and immediately pulled out her phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, try to stay calm. Where are you now?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 311\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the way to the hospital?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, yes, Chris is driving. Mrs. Miller\u2026 she\u2019s already passed\u00a0<\/p>\n
out. She\u2019s bleeding.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Owen\u2019s voice trembled even more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRoderick, if anything happens to Mrs. Miller\u2026 I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll be\u00a0<\/p>\n
able to go on.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roderick\u2019s heart grew even heavier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In less than a minute, Bradley came rushing over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he heard it was about Mrs. Miller, he already had a good\u00a0<\/p>\n
idea of what happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI contacted Dr. Eleanor from OB\/GYN. She\u2019s a top expert in the\u00a0<\/p>\n
field. She\u2019s off today, but she lives nearby and is already on her\u00a0<\/p>\n
way to the hospital.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bradley glanced at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDowntown traffic is bad at this hour. I\u2019ll arrange for a\u00a0<\/p>\n
helicopter.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s already been arranged.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 311\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roderick\u2019s tone was heavy. In the past two minutes, he had\u00a0<\/p>\n
already planned the route to ensure Mrs. Miller would get to the\u00a0<\/p>\n
hospital as quickly as possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMaddie.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roderick turned his head. \u201cCan you wait here with Kevin for me?\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2019m going to the hospital.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine hesitated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had a vague feeling that something wasn\u2019t right about what\u00a0<\/p>\n
happened to Mrs. Miller today.\u00a0<\/p>\n
