A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 387 It Hurt Too Deep

“Aren’t you going to find my sister?” Leila asked again.

Brian nodded his head and looked at Leila. There was something crystal-clear in his eyes. Leila was startled a little as she could see his struggle in his eyes. She did not know how to guess about it.

“Father, you don’t want me to look for my sister?”

Brian nodded again.

Leila sighed.

Brian looked at the ceiling in the ward as if he was thinking about something.

That day when Leila came out from the ward, she sat on the long bench in the corridor. Her eyes were fluttering and showing a little stubbornness. Suddenly, her eyes just turned red.

“Leila?” There was a familiar voice coming through.

Leila looked up blankly and saw Renee. She was even thinner. She was wearing a pair of jeans, and a white T-shirt with a plum blossom printed on it. She was holding a bouquet of flower while looking at Leila. Her eyes were filled with a thousand words but she only spoke out a sentence. “Leila, it’s really not a big deal. We will be strong!”

Leila stood up. Her eyes were red, and she rubbed her eyes and stretched out her hands to hug Renee. “You’re right. We have to be strong! Why do you come here? How’s your body doing?”

“I’m fine!” Renee smiled. “Let’s go in and see your father!”

“Okay!” Leila nodded and pulled Renee into the ward.

Brian was asleep again. Renee put the flowers on the table in the ward, and then said a few words with Mabel. “Mrs. Hunter, Leila and I will stay outside for a while. Is that okay?”

Mabel nodded. “Lexi, just go back. Vincent will be worried if you’re back home late!”

“Mother! I...” Leila knew what she wanted to say but she suddenly stopped. “Mother, I will come back to take your place later. Please go back to rest in the evening. I will take care of Father!”

When Leila left the ward with Renee, Mabel wanted to say something but she suddenly paused. In the end, she did not say anything at all.

The two girls were sitting in the pavilion below the hospital, Leila bought a thick stack of newspaper and put it under Renee’s body. She just had a miscarriage with a severe bleeding while she was still in confinement. She should not catch any cold.

“Leila, you always make me feel angry and bad at the same time!” Renee suddenly said when she saw the stack of newspapers.

Leila raised her head and replied, “Let’s sit down!”

“How can you still be so considerate at this time! I’m willing to treat you as my friend!” Renee did not cry for so long because her tears were dry. Her eyes suddenly turned red at this time.

“Aren’t we friends forever?” Leila sounded gentle as she turned her head at Renee.

“Of course!” Renee sat on the newspaper, and suddenly she felt that her heart was getting warmer. “Have you found your sister?”
