Chapter 111 Chapter 111: I Can Afford It
Estelle didn’t say anything, and her lips compressed into a thin line.
In the past two days, Mr. Mysterious went to the hospital near midnight, and he was very likely to drive there. Besides, there were not many vehicles at the gate of the hospital. So the quickest way to figure out My. Mysterious’ identity was to investigate his car.
Estelle had been curious about Mr. Mysterious’ identity. But at this moment, when she was about to figure it out, she felt a little flustered.
“Rebecca, forget it. I’ve promised him that I won’t probe into his identity,” she said.
Hearing this, Rebecca sighed and said softly, “Estelle, you looked depressed after you talked with Justin on the phone. I couldn’t bear to see you unhappy, so I brought you here, hoping that I could help you. Ingemar is an excellent computer engineer. With his help, the truth will come out soon. Are you sure you’ll give up?”
“I...”
“I’ll respect whatever you decide. If you decide to give up, I’ll take you back to the hospital now.”
Estelle licked her lips and hesitated.
At this moment, her phone rang, and a text message from Mr. Mysterious came.
‘Estelle, do you still remember what I said before? The truth you have longed to know may not be what you expect, but something that will make you pain. Isn’t it good for us to be together in the current state?’
Estelle was startled when she read the message. Her hand shook, and her phone dropped to the ground.
Seeing this, Rebecca quickly took Yvonne from Estelle’s arms.
Estelle then quickly picked up her phone from the ground with her heart pounding and said, “Rebecca, let’s go. I... don’t want to know the truth now.”
“I found his car!” Ingemar suddenly said. “I’ve got the license plate number, and we’ll...”
Before he could finish his words, Estelle pulled Rebecca out of the room in a fluster, and the two of them left.
Upon returning to the hospital, Rebecca asked, “Estelle, we almost discovered the truth. It was a great pity that you gave up. Can you accept it if Mr. Mysterious will never tell you who he is for the rest of your life?”
With Yvonne in her arms, Estelle leaned her head against the car door and shook her head, saying, “Mr. Mysterious is right. Maybe it is best for us to maintain our current state.”
“Have you made up your mind?” Rebecca asked.
“Yes,” Estelle said helplessly.
“Okay. I’ll respect your decision,” Rebecca said.
Suddenly she saw something and gasped. “Estelle, look at the woman going into the hospital! Is it Gretchen?”
Hearing Rebecca’s words, Estelle opened the car window and saw Gretchen enter the hospital building.
Rebecca then stepped on the brake and pulled over quickly.
“Humph. I’ll follow her and see what this goody-two-shoes come here for!” she snorted and said.
Considering Yvoone’s safety, Estelle didn’t want Gretchen to see them, so she pulled Rebecca’s arm and said, “Don’t do that, Rebecca. I’ve started a new life and have nothing to do with her. I don’t want to get involved in everything about her.”
However, Rebecca, who always hated evil as her enemy, was so indignant when seeing Gretchen that Estelle couldn’t stop her at all.
“Estelle, even if you don’t want to have any connection with Cristofer and Gretchen. But don’t forget that Gretchen and her mother are still living in the Hudson’s House. That is your house!” she said.
Hearing this, Estelle bit her lower lip and looked down at Yvonne in her arms.
If it weren’t for Gretchen, Yvonne would not have had to live such a miserable life since she was born. She could have lived a carefree life like a princess and enjoyed the love of everyone in the Hans family and the Hudson family. However, now, she only has a broken family.
“Estelle, I know what I’m doing. You are still weak. Just stay in the car with Yvonne and wait for me. I’ll come back soon. Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to her,” Rebecca said.
“Rebecca...” Before Estelle could say anything else, Rebecca gently took Estelle’s hand off her arm and trotted into the hospital building.
Gretchen came here alone today.
Since Cristofer broke up with her, she had become more and more desperate these days and didn’t know what to do to get back together with Cristofer. To marry Cristofer, she had been waiting for so many years. She didn’t want all that she had done to be in vain.
Yesterday, when she learned that Cristofer and Estelle’s lawyer had completed the divorce procedures, she was happy and came up with the idea of getting Cristofer back to her.
For fear of being recognized by others, she wore sunglasses, a hat, and a mask. And she didn’t take them off until she entered the consultation room furtively.
When the doctor saw Gretchen dress up this way, she thought that Gretchen was a big star, afraid of being recognized by her fans and reporters.
However, the moment Gretchen took off her mask, the doctor thought, ‘What a plain-looking woman. Apparently, she’s not a celebrity.’
“Is there anything wrong with you, Miss?” the doctor asked.
“I want to have an injection for ovulation,” Gretchen said.
The doctor frowned as soon as she heard that. “Miss, you can’t have an injection randomly. You should go and have a physical examination first.”
“I don’t need any examination. I just want to get pregnant as soon as possible,” Gretchen lowered her voice and said. “I’ll pay you as much money as you want as long as you can help me get pregnant.”
Hearing this, the doctor was speechless and thought Gretchen was ridiculous.
She put down the pen in her hand and said to Gretchen with a sneer, “Miss, I’ve worked as a doctor for so many years and have never seen a patient like you.”
Gretchen said impatiently, “Let’s not talk about what kind of person I am. I just want to know how to get pregnant soon.”
“Has your menstruation been regular in recent months? How’s your sex life?” the doctor said.
Gretchen didn’t answer her.
“What’s the matter?” the doctor asked with a frown.
Gretchen looked at the door warily, then stood up and closed the consultation room door. After that, she said with a nervous look, “To tell you the truth, I had a miscarriage before, and it caused damage to my health, so it’s not easy for me to conceive now. But I really want to have a child. Please help me. I will try every means as long as I can have a child. Even IVF is okay. I can afford it.”
The doctor shook her head and said, “Whether you can get pregnant depends on the therapies and your physical condition. Even if you undergo IVF, you may not be able to have a baby.”
“Then please give me an injection first. I have a friend who got pregnant after ovulation induction treatment. I want to have a try,” Gretchen said eagerly.
