Just when she thought Stellan Sutton was just passing by on private business, the car slowly came to a halt.
Afterwards, the back seat door opened, and Stellan leisurely got out of the car.
“…President Sutton?”
Eve Sherman stared blankly at Cole Grant as he got out from the passenger seat, following behind Stellan, feeling a bit confused.
She was about to politely step forward to greet them when her phone suddenly rang.
Glancing at the caller display, she furrowed her brows and quickly answered the phone, “Dad, what’s wrong?”
“Eve, where are you?
Grandma has had a sudden heart attack, you need to come back quickly!”
Skye Sherman’s anxious voice was trembling, “I’ve already called a hospital ambulance, you’d better hurry over!”
“I’ll be there right away!” Eve Sherman felt a tightness in her chest, hung up the phone, and ran toward the subway entrance.
Stellan Sutton heard the noise, turned his head, and glanced.
“President Sutton, what are you looking at?”
Lucas came over and followed his gaze.
Stellan withdrew his gaze, “Nothing, I seemed to have seen Eve Sherman, but I must be mistaken.”
Lucas craned his neck to look for a good while, “No, you must be mistaken, didn’t she take leave?
Why would she come to the civil affairs bureau?
Unless she’s like you, come to get a divorce?”
At this, Stellan Sutton’s brow furrowed slightly.
If Eve Sherman had discovered the truth, she might be contemplating divorce.
…
Eve Sherman squeezed into the subway, her back and forehead breaking out in cold sweat.
She kept talking to Skye Sherman, confirming Grandma’s condition.
Skye was anxious, unable to explain clearly with a few words, which made Eve Sherman feel all the more uneasy.
When she ran all the way to the hospital, Grandma was being rescued in the emergency room.
Skye Sherman was pacing restlessly in the corridor, tears streaming down his face from urgency.
“How is she?!”
Eve Sherman hurriedly went over to support his shaky figure, “Didn’t I say to have Grandma stay in the hospital?
Why is she at home?
A sudden heart attack?!”
Skye wiped his tears, “She didn’t want to stay in the hospital, I couldn’t persuade her, recently her stomach hasn’t been well, maybe she exerted herself…
suddenly she just couldn’t…”
Skye gasped and couldn’t continue, Eve didn’t press further, anxiously wringing her hands while staring at the rescue room door.
Every passing moment felt incredibly long, the longer Eve waited, the heavier her heart became.
More than an hour later, two nurses finally pushed the unconscious Grandma Sherman out.
“She’s been rescued for the time being, but she needs to stay in the hospital for observation.
A relative needs to arrange for her hospitalization!”
Eve and Skye both breathed a sigh of relief, Skye even collapsed onto a chair.
His shirt was soaked with cold sweat.
…
In the civil affairs bureau, Stellan Sutton sat expressionless on a chair, while Lucas and Cole Grant cautiously glanced at his face.
Stellan was in a very poor mood.
Last night, she agreed readily to the divorce, seemingly eager for it.
Now she had clearly said she’d arrived, yet more than an hour has passed, and she doesn’t reply to messages or answer calls.
Could it be that she simply likes to play people for fools?
He really hadn’t seen back then that she would turn out to be such a person.
“What now?
Is it possible the madam doesn’t want a divorce?”
Lucas had barely finished speaking when Stellan glanced at him.
“She very much wants it.”
“Then…
where is she?
And leaving you hanging for the divorce?”
Just as Stellan was about to run out of patience, a message finally came back from her.
“Sorry, I had an urgent matter come up and had to leave.
Let’s see when we can reschedule, but I might be unavailable for a while, my apologies.”
Stellan’s brow furrowed once more, then he got up and left the civil affairs bureau without expression.
