CEO, Your Wife Has Left-Chapter 64: Danger Approaching
Dominic Thorne’s words lingered, refusing to be forgotten as they swirled in Sean Murphy’s head like a tornado.
’He wants to kiss me?’ The thought made him extremely uncomfortable. He knew Ronan Jenkins liked him, but he never imagined Dominic would feel that way about him too—the same way one would feel about a woman. ’Is this what happened to me last night? Did I actually start to develop feelings for him?’
After breakfast, Sean Murphy drove Kenneth Yates and Dominic Thorne to the airport. They had been in Francelia for over ten days, and it was time to go back. There were many matters to handle back home—and besides, Kenneth had someone special on his mind.
Kenneth smiled out the window the entire ride, which unsettled Sean, who was driving, so much that he nearly crashed into the car in front of them.
Summer Lancaster’s injury was almost completely healed. She just needed one last follow-up appointment at the hospital today. After getting off work, she drove to the hospital.
She had a simple CT scan, and the doctor confirmed her injury was no longer a serious concern and had left no lasting complications. She could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Still, Kenneth had been gone for over ten days. It would be a lie to say she didn’t miss him, but she hesitated to call, worried about bothering him with work. And yet, he hadn’t called her even once.
’Just thinking about it made her angry!’
The two people up ahead looked familiar. Summer quickened her pace, circling around to get in front of them.
"Audrey? Yvonne? What are you two doing here?"
The two people in front of her were indeed her stepmother, Audrey Adler, and her half-sister, Yvonne Lancaster.
"Ah..." Audrey hastily stuffed the report she was holding into her pocket. "Your father isn’t feeling well. We came to pick up some medicine for him." As she spoke, she nudged Yvonne.
"Oh, right! Right!" Yvonne didn’t dare to look at Summer, as if she had a guilty conscience.
"What’s wrong with Dad? If he’s sick, you should bring him to the hospital right away."
"It’s nothing, just one of his old problems..." Audrey gave an awkward laugh. "If there’s nothing else, we’ll head back now." Audrey grabbed Yvonne’s hand and hurriedly dragged her toward the elevator.
In the struggle, the report fluttered to the ground. Summer bent down to pick it up. The contents made her go pale with shock. ’An abortion report? Patient: Yvonne Lancaster??’ She knew her father doted on Yvonne, but she never imagined her sister was this wild. ’She’s only eighteen!’ ’They must have come to the hospital today behind Gregory Lancaster’s back.’
Audrey didn’t realize the report was missing until she was in the elevator. She frantically searched her pockets but couldn’t find it.
"Mommy, do you think Summer took it?" Fear filled Yvonne’s eyes. ’If Summer finds out, she’ll definitely tell Daddy. He’ll kill me!’
’Surely not... Did the report fall out just now?’ Audrey recalled the scene. As they were leaving, Summer had definitely glanced toward the ground a few times. At the time, Audrey had thought she was just lost in thought, but now she realized Summer’s gaze had likely fallen on the report.
"Yvonne, don’t worry. I’ll get that report back. Without proof, your daddy won’t believe a word she says."
"Okay!" Yvonne trembled. ’She must have been possessed to sleep with that man. Who would have thought he’d refuse to take any responsibility afterward, forcing her to get an abortion.’
A vicious expression crossed Audrey’s face. ’I’ve wanted to teach that brat Summer a lesson for a long time. It just so happens Kenneth isn’t in the country right now, so she has no one to protect her. How hard could it be to hire a few thugs to rough her up? As long as I pay them enough, no one will ever suspect us!’
