‘Jeremy should be landing soon, I hope. He promised me he’ll be in the delivery room with
me when the baby comes…’ thought Corinne.
The servants immediately rushed over to help when they heard the commotion coming
from the living room. One of them quickly called Lucas to tell him what was happening.
Suddenly, Corinne passed out amid the cacophony of sounds. The last thing she heard
was the sound of the ambulance siren wailing in the distance.
…
Meanwhile, Lucas and Sunny were walking out of the school’s office. They had completed
all the necessary procedures for Sunny to study abroad. Sunny would not have to go back
to that school anymore. After some time, he would fly abroad to his new school.
Lucas got into the car first while Sunny remained standing by the door for a long while. His
expression was complicated as he timidly said, “Lucas, this will be my last time coming to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthis school. I might not like studying, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like this school. After
all, I’ve spent a good chunk of my teenage years here, much longer than most of my
peers, trying to get into a good university. Can I stay back to reminisce a bit and say
goodbye to my friends?”
Lucas narrowed his eyes. “You can. But don’t go anywhere else, and go home before the
sun sets.”
Sunny nodded. “Got it. Thanks, Lucas.”
After that, Edmund closed Lucas’ car door and walked around the car to get into the front
passenger seat.
Sunny watched as the car drove away.
Lucas had not even left the school for about a kilometer when his phone rang. When he
saw the number to be the mansion’s landline, he immediately thought something must
have happened to Corinne, so he quickly answered his phone.
His expression instantly hardened when he heard a servant telling him about Corinne’s
water breaking. “Turn back the car and drive to City Hospital now!”
Not knowing what was happening, Edmund reminded him, “But, Mister Lucas, you have an
important meeting la—”
Lucas frowned and interrupted coldly, “Cancel all of my meetings for today! Corinne is
about to give birth. I must go to the hospital now!”
Edmund immediately realized the gravity of the situation when he heard that, so he fell
silent.
Lucas suddenly remembered something. “Edmund, find a way to get in contact with
Jeremy. See if he’s back in the city. Corinne needs him right now.”
“Yes, Mister Lucas!”
…
Sunny had no idea what was happening at home. He was strolling around the school
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmgrounds. Looking at all the buildings, he could not help but feel ashamed at being stuck
there for so long.
‘No wonder Xante dumped me. I’ve been stuck here for so many years while she’s already
an independent woman who’s enjoying business success. She could get any man she
wants, so why would she go for someone who can’t even get into a good university like
me?’
As much as he knew Xante did not want to see him, he could not stop himself from
wanting to find her. He justified his decision by telling himself he would be leaving soon
and would not be back for another three years, so he did not want to have any regrets
about not seeing her one last time.
After making his rounds around the school, he did not say goodbye to his friends. Instead,
he got into a cab to find the person he wanted to see the most.
