In Love, Never Say Never

I forced a smile. “I get it. I’ll take care of myself, just go.”

He was still worried despite that and told Cameron some dos and don’ts before he left. Then, Cameron looked at me. “He’s really nice to you.”

I smiled. Then my phone rang. It was from Armond, who hadn’t called me in a long time. I frowned in annoyance when I saw his number. Ever since what happened in Moranta, I lost any good impression I had for him. But I took his call anyway. “What is it?”

His voice was deep, but also depressing. “It’s been a while. We might not be friends anymore, but we don’t have to be enemies; so, you don’t have to be so hostile. “

I sneered. “You tried to harm my husband. If that’s not enough to antagonize me, I don’t know what will.”

He laughed mirthlessly. “Are you free? Why don’t we meet up? You might gain something, you know.”

“Thanks but no thanks,” I refused.

“Come on, don’t say no so fast.” He chuckled. “I heard you’re trying to find a matching kidney for the Crests’ kid. I’m your friend, Scarlett, and I’m a kind man. I don’t mind getting a suitable kidney for the child. All you have to do is ask,” he said casually, much to my surprise.

I frowned. “What are you trying to do now, Armond?”

“Let’s meet up and talk. You raised the child, didn’t you? You can take this risk. You risked your life in Moranta for Ashton, so why not for the child? Is she worth less than your husband? All I want to do is to chat with you.”

I was surprised that he could sound so nonchalant since he was usually a stern man. What is he really like deep down?

My prolonged silence prompted him to speak. “So it’s a no, huh? I feel bad for the poor child.”

“Give me the location.” I took a deep breath. I didn’t know how he would find the kidney, but it was a pressing matter, so I had to give it a try.

He laughed as if his plan had worked. “You are always so loyal, Scarlett. I’m looking forward to our meeting, but don’t tell anyone about this, and don’t try to pull any tricks behind my back. Or I’ll make sure your daughter is bedridden for life even if she gets the bone marrow she desperately needs. You know I can do that.”

He said goodbye with a laugh before hanging up. Then, he sent me the location.

I pursed my lips. The city center, huh? And the most bustling place too. I heaved a sigh of relief. If that’s the case, he can’t do anything to me even if he wants to.

Cameron came back with the vitamins after I kept my phone. “Take these vitamins once in the morning and once at night. It’ll help the baby.”

I nodded and put the pills in my bag. At the same time, I was thinking about what to tell her since I want to go out.

The ER’s door swung open, and out came Summer on a gurney surrounded by doctors. Cameron and I followed them into the ward, but Summer was still in a coma even after the doctors had left.

I looked at Cameron. “I’m going out to get some stuff, Mom. Look after Summer for me. I’ll be back in a minute.”

She looked at the time and nodded. “Go on. I’ll look after her.”

I went straight to the location Armond sent me after coming out from the hospital. It was a café near the hospital. When I arrived at the place, Armond was already waiting for me. He gave me a warm smile when we met. “I thought you won’t come.” Then, he called the waiter to take his order.

I looked at him. “Please make this quick.”

He pursed his lips calmly. “So I’m not even your friend now.”

“Do you think we can still be friends after what you did?” I held my anger back. He was no longer my friend from the moment he tried to kill Ashton in Moranta. In fact, he was my enemy since then.

He smiled despondently. “You know I would never harm you.”

“Depends on how you define ‘harm.’” I sneered. “That’s enough of pleasantries. You have plotted ever since we met, but I don’t really care about your reason. Just cut to the chase.”

He pursed his lips and squinted at me. “Very well then. Remember the sandalwood box you promised to give me back in Venria? I took your girls back safe and sound, but what did you do? You gave me a fake box. Do you think I’m an idiot, Scarlett?”

I froze for a moment. Oh, so he found out about that. I pursed my lips. “I know nothing about that box. You wanted it, so I gave it to you. I can tell you that my grandma gave it to me, so it’s just something my grandma left me. I have no idea what the content means to you, and I don’t know what you want from it.”

In love, never say never chapter 942

He sneered. “Shifting the blame, are we? Fine. If you don’t want to give me the box, then there’s no meaning to this meeting. Your daughter is on her own now.”

A frown creased my forehead. “I have no idea where the box is right now. It’s always been in the villa and guarded by Ashton.”

He gave me a nod and squinted. “So that means you can retrieve it.”

I frowned again. “I cannot,” I denied.

He chuckled. “Well, the box isn’t the only chip you have, but I wonder if you’ll accept the deal.”
