Chapter 1123 Pinpoint His Weaknesses
“Deal.” Anya didn’t linger much longer after Phil agreed to take care of their daughter, but got up from her chair and got ready to go.
She didn’t stay too long, though she was reluctant to leave.
She wanted to have a good look at him and talk to him. She wanted to ask him if he was okay and if his wounds still hurt. She wanted to ask him why he protected her in the first place when a shot was fired.
But it didn’t seem appropriate to talk about this now judging from his attitude towards her.
Anya stood up from the chair, took a breath, then headed towards the ward door without looking back.
Phil did not stop Anya, but his eyes, which were fixed on her, betrayed his true feelings.
He was also eager to have a good look at Anya. He could tell she looked good but was much thinner than before after some observations.
It made him very distressed.
She was now in the month of confinement and needed nutrition, and he believed that Emelia and Maisie would take good care of her. But she was still very thin, definitely because she was affected by negative emotions.
She didn’t have an appetite, so of course, she would lose weight.
Anya suddenly paused after walking to the door. She turned back and said, “After our daughter is discharged from the hospital, you take her home. Let’s meet each other less.”
Phil frowned at her. His intuition told him that she was going to say something unpleasant.
Anya smiled and said, “I’m a single, young girl without a baby around, and I can enjoy my life as much as I want. If we see each other a lot, I’m afraid that all the handsome guys around me will stay away from me.”
Phil was sulking at these words.
‘She left their daughter to me for her own enjoyment?’
‘Now she told the truth?’
‘Just now she said she was busy with her studies and afraid of not being able to take good care of the baby, didn’t she?’
‘But then she claimed she wanted to enjoy herself as a single, young girl? Handsome guys?’
Thinking of this, Phil couldn’t help but shout, “Anya!”
However, Anya had foreseen it and she rushed out of the ward when he shouted, leaving him with a dashing figure. Phil got so angry that he breathed heavily.
She really knew how to piss him off.
He wanted to go back on his word, but his thoughts took precedence over jealousy.
It was a good thing for her to have their daughter in his care.
At least she didn’t have to be so exhausted and she could focus on her studies.
And handsome guys could never get close to her as long as he and their daughter were still in Ustistan.
He was the one who decided to break up, so he wouldn’t be possessive towards her anymore. But he didn’t want to see her flirting with other men when he stayed in Ustistan to take care of the baby.
Anya left the ward and went back with Emelia and Maisie. Neither of them wanted her to stay out too long as she just gave birth, and since she had made it clear to Phil, she should go home.
However, before they left, Emelia and Maisie escorted Anya to the ICU of the hospital, where Anya wanted to see her daughter.
The baby couldn’t be brought out and they couldn’t get into the ICU. Thus, they couldn’t see the baby.
Although the medical staff will regularly send pictures and videos of the baby to Anya, she really wished to cuddle the baby in her arms.
Anya stood outside the ICU for a while, feeling her daughter in this way, and then had to leave reluctantly.
On the way back, Anya felt much better. Emelia couldn’t help but ask her, “I thought you’d be depressed when you got out, but you seem happy.”
Emelia and Maisie had discussed how they should comfort Anya if she was upset, and to their surprise, her negative emotions dissolved so quickly.
Anya confessed, “I managed to piss Phil off. My bad feelings found an outlet, so I don’t feel so depressed now.”Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“How did you piss him off?” Maisie and Emelia were both curious.
Anya told them what she had said at the end, and they couldn’t help but laugh.
Maisie said, “I picture it. He must be so mad at you that he jumped out of bed and grabbed you.”
Anya laughed, “Well, I rushed out after I finished.”
She knew how to stop where it should stop, otherwise, Phil would really be irritated, catch her, and forbade her to leave, or break his promise of taking care of the baby.
Emelia snickered, “I have to admit, that was a good move, Phil will not leave with the baby. He has to stay and keep an eye on you lest you hook up with some handsome guys.”
Anya laughed too. She said those words to make Phil nervous. She was sure he still cared about her, so she believed he would be jealous when he heard those words.
Maisie tsked, “You’ve got him by the balls.”
Now they didn’t have to worry that Phil and Anya would break up since Anya had a lot of tricks up her sleeve to deal with Phil and she had got Phil’s soft spot.
Although Phil and Anya had so many conflicts, thankfully, one would try his or her best to fix their relationship when the other wanted to give up.
Phil and Anya were destined to be together.
After the trio returned, they were contacted by Nina in Chiobar.
“Anya, your mother’s situation is not good …” Nina said in a heavy tone over the phone.
They hadn’t told Lorie about what had happened abroad because they were afraid Lorie would be agitated by it.
Lorie knew that Anya was going back home to give birth, but Anya hadn’t come back as scheduled, so she perceived something bad happened.
She was looking forward to Anya’s return because Anya had made a deal with her caregiver to visit her after returning home.
Lorie really missed her daughter. Although they often had video calls, it was better to meet each other face to face.
Lorie waited patiently, but Anya didn’t return home as scheduled.
She was very anxious, but she could not speak her mind to others since her speech function hadn’t recovered yet. Dr. Choffard, for sure, knew that she wanted to ask about Anya’s condition.
To keep Lorie from worrying, Dr. Choffard lied to Lorie, saying that Phil and Anya had something on their plates abroad and might return after dealing with their business.
However, they hadn’t returned yet after half a month had passed.
Lorie had doubts about Dr. Choffard’s words and thought of many bad possibilities.
She grabbed Dr. Choffard’s arm and lost control. Dr. Choffard had to tell her the truth…
