Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 828

Howard listened to Norissa groan on the phone for quite a while before interrupting in a cold voice. "What's the matter?"

Judging by her voice, she seemed to be in pain. "My tummy hurts. Howard, come and check on me."

"I'm not free. Call the doctor if you're not feeling well. I'm not an obstetrician, so I can't do anything to help you."

Norissa continued to cry out in pain, "Howard, my tummy really hurts. Come and keep me company. Our baby and I need you. Please come over quickly..."

Not being able to stand her act, Howard cut in, "Don't try to play tricks with me. I won't go see you. If you need help, call the nurse."

With that, Howard hung up.

As soon as he hung up, Ronan asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Did anything happen?"

"It's nothing. She told me that she had a stomachache and asked me to go see her."

"Why are you still standing here then?!" Ronan's eyes widened. "She is pregnant. Even if you don't like her, you should go and check up on her for the sake of the baby. Go quickly!"

"Grandpa..."

"Did you hear me? Go now!"

"I’m not leaving. I need to wait for Elaine..."

"I'll be here. I'll ask her to keep me company when she comes back. Hurry up and go now!"

No matter what Howard said, Ronan was determined to send him away. Helpless, Howard had no choice but leave.

On the way, he called Elaine, but she did not answer.

Howard thought it was weird, so he frowned. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

After arriving at the ward, he pushed open the door and went in. Surprised, he raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, Norissa really had a stomachache. A doctor was giving her a checkup, so he had to wait by the door.

When the check-up was done, the doctor called Howard outside before he left. "Dr. Perkins, Ms. Kaur is having signs of miscarriage."

Upon hearing that, Howard was taken aback.

"But please don't worry. We will try our best to keep the baby. As for now, you should try to spend more time with Ms. Kaur so that she will be more emotionally stable. It will be good for the baby."

Frowning, Howard asked, "Is it really that bad?"

He thought Norissa was lying to him.

The doctor nodded. "Yes. She had light bleeding just now. It's pretty dangerous..."

"All right. I got it."

Howard could not listen anymore. Waving his hand, he interrupted the doctor and entered the ward after a while.

Seeing him walking in, Norissa was delighted. "Howard, you're here?"

Standing by the bed, Howard stared at her bulging belly for a while. "How are you feeling?"

"My stomach hurt a lot just now. The doctor took a look and asked me to get more rest. I'm fine now. It doesn't hurt anymore."

"Mm- hmm." Howard replied indifferently, "Do as the doctor says and get some rest then."

With that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Then, he felt a grip on his arm.

Norissa looked at him in disbelief. "Are you leaving?"

"I've already visited you. Since you're fine now, what's the point of me staying here?" "Can't you stay here for the night?" "Impossible." Howard thought her request was hilarious. "We're already done. Apart from the baby in your belly, we are pretty much strangers."

"Strangers?" Norissa sneered. "You didn't treat me like a stranger when you slept with me."

Instantly, a trace of anger flashed across Howard's face.

Taking a deep breath, Norissa softened up. "I'm just a little scared to be alone. Can't you accompany me for the sake of the baby in my belly?"

Howard remained expressionless.

Giving up, Norrisa shook his hand away. "Howard, have anybody ever told you that you are really heartless?"

"You are the first one."

"What an honor." Looking at him coldly, Norissa continued. "Doesn't the girl that you like mind that I'm pregnant with your child?"

"She is generous and easy-going. She knows that our relationship is over, so she doesn't care at all."

"Haha!" Upon hearing that, Norissa burst out laughing. "It seems like you don't know women well. You think she's generous and easy- going because she's not jealous and doesn't care? Oh, Howard, I think I get it now. Your love is one-sided. That girl doesn't even like you!"

Howard's expression froze immediately.

"Did I guess it right? Geez, it serves you right!" Norissa stared at him with hatred in her eyes. "This is payback!"

With a cold gaze, Howard stared back at her.

In the face of Howard's gaze, Norissa felt goosebumps creeping up on her. "Why are you looking at me like this? I'm stating the facts. You always played with girls in the past. This is your karma!"

Ignoring her, Howard walked out of the ward.

Gasping, Norissa sat on the bed. After a while, she calmed down, took out her phone, and dialed a number.

After some time, the call was connected.

"I did what you ask. You'll give me the money after this, right?" Voice trembling, Norrisa sounded as if she was afraid of the person on the other end of the line. "I'll do what you want and make Perkins Family pay their price."

The person on the other end of the phone kept silent and hung up the phone right away.

Norissa held onto her phone. After a while, the phone rang, and a text message popped up.

It was a transaction statement.

Seeing that, Norissa breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, that man kept his promise.

After hanging up his phone, Vincent sat on his office chair and looked at the woman on his computer screen. She was standing at a railway platform.

Then, Ruben came in. "I've already transferred the money to Norissa. What are you going to do next?"

Expressionless, Vincent uttered. "Wait."

"Wait for what?"

"Wait for her to have a miscarriage."

Pausing for a moment, Ruben said, "This is surely going to be a big blow to Ronan. He can only watch his great-grandson die and do nothing. It's going to shake him up."

Sighing, Ruben said, "You've already come so far. Can you stop now?"

Vincent raised his eyes. "Why should I stop? I came back to cut the Perkins Family's bloodline.

This is just the beginning."

Pouting, Ruben asked, "Are you sure you're not going to such lengths because Howard provoked you?"

Howard's sexual harassment scandal...

Ronan's car accident...

And Norissa's miscarriage...

Vincent was the one behind all of this.

Seeing him all focused on the computer, Ronan questioned curiously, "What are you looking at?"

Taking a closer look, he saw a railway platform on the screen. Shocked, he exclaimed, "Did you hack the CCTV of the train station?"

Vincent replied, "She's right there."

What he meant was the only way to track her movements.

Ruben was speechless.

Staring at the computer for a while, he spoke again, "Is she going to leave Beachmarsh City?"

Vincent hummed. "She's going back to her hometown."

"How did you know?"

"She and Howard have already found out that I was the one behind what happened in the past few days. In order not to further bring the Perkins Family more trouble, she's trying to leave secretly."

A faint smile crept onto Vincent's face as he stared at Elaine's slim figure on the screen. "How cute she is. She thought she could get rid of me like that..."

Speechless, Ruben facepalmed himself. "So everything she does now is cute to you? Love can really make people crazy!"

Back then, Vincent was a freak who would destroy anyone who dared to betray him!
