Chapter 16: Chapter 16



The one hugging Dolores the other day was this guy.

Who else could be the father of Dolores’ baby than this guy?

Suddenly, Sampson felt really bad for Dolores. Sampson couldn’t help but think that if she had found him the day of the car accident, it wouldn’t be so bad now.

Seeing Sampson’s expression, Matthew thought he was admitting it with silence. Matthew scoffed, “He’s so young…”

“What do you know!” Sampson suddenly shouted. His eyes were a little red. He knew what Matthew meant. Matthew must have thought Dolores was a slut, because she had gotten pregnant at such a young age.

But Matthew had no idea what Dolores had been through.

Sampson looked at Matthew’s suit, which was extremely expensive. Sampson couldn’t help but think that Matthew’s suit might already be wealth like an ordinary worker’s salary for a year.

“You are from a rich and noble family. Have you ever suffered from poverty? Did you know what it felt like to have no money and no food? Did you ever have the feeling of helplessness? You have no idea. You don’t know what you have experienced to survive until now…”

Dolores grabbed Sampson’s hand and shook her head at him to tell him to stop. She didn’t need anyone’s sympathy and sympathetic love. She just wanted to survive and take good care of her mother and baby.

“Okay.” Sampson bent down and hugged her.

Seeing Matthew was still shocked by what Sampson said, Dolores felt uncomfortable. She said as if she was also surprised by what Sampson said, “I’m sorry, I can’t stop working. But I can assure you that I will never let anyone find out. I won’t do anything to embarrass you.” Matthew frowned. Then he looked at Dolores’ expression and felt complex emotions.

No one knew Dolores’ situation better than Sampson did now. Dolores was now in Sampson’s arms and her whole body was trembling as she talked to Matthew.

Sampson held her to the car and said softly, “Don’t be afraid. There is no blood. You’ll be all right.”

Sampson drove as fast as he could toward the hospital.

Watching the car drive away, Matthew couldn’t help but think about what Sampson said and wonder what secret Dolores would have.

Sometimes Dolores acted strangely.

To find out what was going on, he pulled out his phone and called Abbott. “Check on Dolores.”

“What exactly?”

“Everything.”

Matthew hung up immediately.

“Matthew!” Helen rushed out of the restaurant and immediately grabbed his arm. “Are you still mad at me for not letting Dolores join the company? I know I was wrong. It’s just that I love you too much…”

“No. Let’s go back.” There was no emotion in Matthew’s voice or expression, which made Helen feel uncomfortable somehow. She couldn’t help but think, Who did he call now?

At the same time, at the hospital, Dolores was sent to the operating room. And Sampson was waiting outside. He felt uneasy and kept looking at the operating room through the small window.

An hour later, the operating room door opened and Dolores was pushed outside. Sampson hurried to step forward, “How is she?”

The doctor removed his mask and said, “Because of overwork, you had a miscarriage sign. You are fine now. But you need more rest, otherwise, you may not be so lucky next time.”

“I understand.” Sampson pushed Dolores into the living room.

Dolores looked at Sampson and said sincerely, “Thank you for always helping me.” Dolores appreciated Sampson for helping whenever she needed it. “It’s okay as long as you’re okay.” Sampson flashed the kind smile he always had.

“You paid the cost of care for me. I’m sorry, I don’t have the money to pay it back yet.” Dolores said through dry lips.

“Don’t talk about this now, you need to rest.” Sampson didn’t like that she always treated him politely, as if he was a stranger.

As he walked into the living room, Dolores looked up at him, “Can you call my mother to come in?”

She didn’t want to cause Sampson too much trouble. Sampson thought he missed Jessica. After all, when people were vulnerable, they always wanted their family members by their side.

He pulled out his phone and called Jessica, telling her that Dolores was in the hospital, and asked her to come over.

When Jessica heard that, she said in fright, “What’s wrong with Lola?”

“She’s fine. She just needs more rest. She wants to see you.”

Hearing that, Jessica was relieved. She then drove to the hospital as fast as she could.

Once Jessica arrived, Dolores asked Sampson to go home.

“Yes, I’m sorry for causing you trouble.” Jessica apologized sincerely.

“That’s all right. I’ll be back now and I’ll see you tomorrow.” Sampson looked at her, “Rest well.”

“Thank you.” As soon as Sampson left, Jessica sat down next to the bed and covered Dolores with a quilt. “Would you like something to eat?”

Dolores shook her head, and looked unwell.

Looking at Dolores, Jessica felt very sad. “You could have a very good future. But you lost your chance to study because of me. And now…”

Thinking of the child in Dolores’ womb, Jessica felt so sad that her heart even ached. “You said you got pregnant in Country A. What if it’s a boy with yellow hair and blue eyes?”

Jessica worried that the boy Dolores slept with that night was from the area.

“No matter what he looks like, he’s still my baby, your grandson.” Dolores didn’t want to think about that night, after all, it wasn’t a good night for her.

“A-pais?” Matthew came to the hospital to visit Dolores. He wanted to knock on the door, but then he saw that Jessica was talking to Dolores inside, so he changed his mind.

“Well, no matter what he looks like, he’s still my grandson.” Jessica didn’t continue. As long as Dolores was happy, Jessica was willing to follow her wish and take care of her.

Jessica couldn’t help but think that maybe she and the baby were meant to be a family. After all, Dolores got pregnant after only one night of being with that guy.

Jessica touched Dolores’ forehead and couldn’t help but feel sad. ‘My Lola, you had to suffer because of me.’

‘Did she keep the baby?’ Matthew felt that Dolores was a mystery.

That day, at the hospital, he saw her enter the operating room.

Seeing that Dolores and Jessica were talking, Matthew didn’t want to disturb them. He turned and walked away.

As he made his way to the hospital entrance, the phone in his pocket rang. He pulled it out and saw Abbott’s name on the screen. He picked it up.

“I checked what you asked for.”
