"My son!"
The boy's mother ran in panic, crouched on the ground in great distress and carried the child in her arms. "How come you walk without looking around you? Look, he fell because of you!"
At this time, Mellisa puffed her brows slightly, her fingers were in her pockets, her lips were pressed.
Before she could speak, Rini took one step forward and stood in front of her, then said with a cold face, "Your son bumped into her."
"You're already grown up but still have the heart to blame a small child instead?"
Rini narrowed her eyes. Before replying, Mellisa grabbed her wrist. "Forget it, I'm fine."
"Hey where are you going? Don't just run away! If my child is sick, you have to pay for his treatment!"
Rini immediately became angry. "Are you really a mother? Instead of apologizing for the child, you chose to blackmail other people?"
"You..."
"Mama, I'm not hurt, I was wrong earlier." The boy raised his head shyly while he was still in his mother's arms. His black eyes looked clear because they were still untouched by the darkness of the world.
The woman looked at him. "Don't talk nonsense, she pushed you down, how could you be okay?"
The boy is a little worried. "Earlier I ran without looking ahead, I was the one who hit this big sister. The teacher taught me that I can't lie."
In short, this child makes his mother blush.
The little boy is still four years old, his innocent figure warms Mellisa's heart. He looked up. "Big sister, I'm sorry. I'll be careful next time."
The look in Mellisa's eyes made the little boy a little frightened. He did not dare to look for fear of being scolded.
This is what a child should look like.
Rini, who was standing beside her, frowned when she saw that Mellisa was not speaking.
She was just vaguely knowing that Mellisa was holding onto her stomach after being hit by the boy.
Even though her hand was caught in her pocket, Rini had received rigorous training and was confident in her observation.
She was right!
The little boy was still small, so even if he ran, the impact would not be too strong.
How did Miss Mellisa react like this?!
Right now, when Rini was suspicious, Mellisa had already recovered.
She crouched down slowly, looked at the little boy, then reached out her hand to wipe the dust off the leg of his trousers. Then she said in a soft tone. "I will not be angry if you keep being honest, okay?"
The little boy nodded heavily, "Thank you, big sister!"
Before leaving, the boy bowed again to Mellisa, turned around and took her mother to the other side of the square.
Mellisa squatted and watched the figure of the mother and child. Even though the woman was rude, it was just a mother's instinctive nature to protect her baby.
If it were her child…
"Miss Mellisa, are you okay?"
At this time, Rini bent down beside her and asked anxiously.
Mellisa lost her thoughts, shook her head, and when she stood on her knees, she said flatly, "It's okay, let's go back."
She suddenly doesn't want to take a walk! The weather is cold and her mood is really messed up, so it's better to sleep again.
On the way home, Rini remembered Mellisa's question before she was hit. Her eyes flickered and she took the initiative to speak. "Miss Mellisa , are you asking if I have any news regarding Mr. Leonard?"
Mellisa just walked, her head bowed and hummed.
Rini saw her expression silently, then she said, "I heard about something from the previous team. His family doesn't seem to be at peace lately, and it looks like there's a power struggle to be the heir."
Mellisa heard Rini's explanation, and at the same time slowed her pace. Traces of worry passed through her eyes.
Where did this heir dispute come from?!
She remembered that Leonard is the first heir of his family!
According to rumors, his current situation is indeed not good.
Rini was at Mellisa's side, staring at her expression, and hesitantly asked, "Miss Mellisa, did Mr. Leonard tell you these things?"
Mellisa's eyes flickered, and her lips did not move an inch to answer.
She blocked all of Leonard's contacts, and she was too busy in Jakarta a few days ago.
The night was getting dark, and Mellisa's heart was tarnished by the silence of the night, feeling lost.
Before returning home, she and Rini ordered a bowl of fried rice at a restaurant in a mall.
Perhaps because the food in the restaurant is so oily that she eats only a little, and she has no appetite to eat.
"I want to go to the bathroom." Mellisa got up for a while, and paced back and forth towards the bathroom after talking to Rini.
At that time, she was standing in front of the sink, looking at her pale face through the mirror.
Taking a deep breath, Mellisa walked out the door, looked around, and saw an open platform in the mall.
She looked at it for a few seconds, then walked slowly.
Because the weather was still so cold, there were hardly any people there.
Mellisa looked at the smoking area, stretched her eyebrows and took out a cigarette box from her pocket.
She pulled out a cigarette, but hesitated.
After a moment of silence, she raised her eyes to see the night view of the city on the edge of the fence and pondered. Then she took out her cell phone and made a call.
It took about ten seconds before the other party answered.
A woman in a very soft voice said through the earpiece, "Hello, who is this?"
"Doctor Verdy, it's me, Mellisa."
The other party laughed, with a hint of teasing. "Ah, it turns out to be Miss Mellisa. Are you already home? "
Mellisa was still holding a cigarette in her hand, and shook her head a little. "No, I'll be back in about two days. Let me set the timing of the operation."
Doctor Verdy pondered for a moment and laughed. His voice was a little flattering, but the tone was very difficult to understand. "Miss, I may have to apologize to you first for something!"
Mellisa was about to light her cigarette when she heard it and canceled her intention. "What's the matter?"
Doctor Verdy was silent, then he bowed unconsciously "I'm sorry, something went wrong in our hospital here. We took the wrong medical history form, so we sent your wrong form to the midwifery department..."
"What do you mean?" Her throat caught and her eyes panicked. "That means... Was that a misdiagnosis?"
There was a heavy worried tone in Mellisa's voice. Doctor Verdy sighed quietly and reassuringly said, "Don't worry, I am also responsible for this negligence. I have recently received a lot of patients. While compiling the report, your test results were mixed because of errors made by our staff. But if it weren't for the patient being admitted to hospital with a bloody ectopic pregnancy this morning, we might not have found this result. I'm sorry, Miss Mellisa, we tried to reach you this morning, but your phone number was unreachable."
"You don't need surgery, and your results show something normal. Congratulations, you are pregnant. But of course, all this is still the negligence of our hospital, so... if you want to claim compensation, the hospital is ready for a talk," he added.
Mellisa stood still in her place, and didn't say anything for a long time.
She saw the cigarette's smoke in her hands, her heart felt like choking.
