Chapter 1022
Ezra could hear the guilt and regret in Maisie's tone, then he said softly, "Don't ever be sorry to me, Maisie. I did everything for
you willingly."
He offered to help her with it. It didn't work out but he didn't complain or blame her.
Thinking of it, he said helplessly, "Phil is crazy and he is the only one to be blamed."
Maisie burst into laughter, "OK. Have some rest now. I'm going home and see if I should stay with Anya in the hospital."
Until then, Ezra hung up the phone reluctantly.
Maisie drove back home and told Emelia and the girls about all the crazy things that Phil had done. Nina started telling him off
unfriendly, "Fuck! What the hell was wrong with him? He's nuts."
"Doesn't he know that Anya is still annoyed with him? Why must he stick with her now? What is he thinking?"
With the permission of Anya, Maisie had told Emelia and the other girls that Anya was pregnant. The girls felt sorry and
distressed for her and kept comforting her on the chat group every day.
Nina was always tough and harsh. She just began telling him off immediately.
But it was understandable. To some extent, Nina had taken Phil into account. Anyway, Anya fell out with him because of Lorie.
Anya would hate him more since Lorie had woken up.
After all, he had caused the car accident indirectly. Anya believed Lorie wouldn't have suffered all these if it wasn't for Phil.
So, it wasn't a wise idea for him to keep on at her at this critical moment. But she could understand it since Phil was blind in love.
"How is it going, Anya?" Emelia mentioned Anya in the chat group and wanted to know if she was doing OK after getting in Phil's
car.
But Anya dared not to check her phone at all because she felt terribly carsick and nauseous. She felt like throwing up even more
if she kept checking her phone with her head down. So, she didn't reply them in time.
"Shall we go to the hospital?" Nina suggested.
All of them thought it was a good idea. Then they cleaned themselves up and went to meet Anya in the hospital.
Phil's car stopped in front of the hospital building. She just couldn't hold it in any more when the driver stopped the car. She
covered her mouth and rushed out of the car. Then she squat down by the road and had a good vomiting.
It scared the hell out of Phil. He got out of the car instantly and tried to hold her falling figure.
Anya moved aside a bit to avoid his touch. And Phil didn't insist when he saw her deadly pale face. So, he just took a step
backward and went back to the car to bring her water and napkin paper.
"Thanks." Anya just took the napkin paper to clean her mouth and she tried hard to avoid any touch with him.
It irritated him a lot when she showed her stubbornness and disgust to him. And he just blurted out without thinking, "Is this what
you want? Really? You went study abroad and made yourself as thin as a lath? You even got carsick and threw up like this?"
Anya always chose carrot over stick. Phil's harsh words had pissed her off. Then she looked up to him and snorted, "Would you
like to ask why I got carsick like this, Mr. Henderson?"
"You made me sick. It made me sick by staying with you in the same car. You just made me so sick that I had to throw up." Anya
taunted him before Phil could say a word.
Anya was furious and just spit out those meaner and harsher words.
As expected, Phil's face sank in a flash. He looked rather gloomy as if he would hit the ceiling any time.
At that moment, Anya saw shock, sorrow and stun in his eyes. Then his eyes were blazing with rage.
"Impressive!"
"Very impressive!"
"Good job, Anya!" said Phil. Maybe he was so raged that he staggered when he stepped back.
He gnashed and said it. Then he turned around to get in the car and snapped the door closed.
"Drive!" Anya could hear him shouting at the driver through the window.
The driver was frightened. He rolled the window up and drove away from the hospital.
Anya leaned against the tree trunk besides her and gasped for breath after the car went out of her eyesight.
It took guts to face up to a man like Phil.
She was afraid that Phil would find out the reason why she vomited. So, she had no other choice but to blurt out those
heartbreaking words.
She could feel that she had stung him with those words. But she didn't feel sorry for him. He shouldn't have satirized her first.
He didn't know about her health condition. He had no idea that she got as thin as a lath because she was pregnant and got
morning sickness. But he just mocked her for asking for it herself. He disdained her for living a lousy life without him around.
He was just flattering himself! In fact, she had been very happy since she left him.
It felt good to be free.
She couldn't put up with any satire and humiliation from others. He said harsh words to her and she would said harsher words to
him in return. So, it happened like that.
Anya flapped her hair and calmed herself down. Then she stepped forward to go into the hospital with the suitcase and went
straight to the office of Dr. Choffard.
Dr. Choffard had heard that she would be back, so he wasn't surprised to see her. But he was concerned about her health
condition, "What's wrong? You look tired. Would you like to take a rest first?"
"No need. I'd like to see my mother first." Anya didn't care about anything else.
Dr. Choffard understood her feeling and nodded, "OK. I'll take you there."
Anya left her suitcase in Dr. Choffard's office and followed him to Lorie's ward.
"Mom..." Anya burst into tears the moment she got in to the room and saw Lorie, who had been unconscious for many years,
sitting on the bed and watching her softly.
She threw herself into Lorie's arms and had a good cry.
Only God knew how happy she was at the moment. She didn't feel like doing anything else except crying hard.
She felt her heart had broken into pieces these years since Lorie had the car accident. She hardly lived on every time she came
to visit Lorie and saw her lifeless face.
But she knew she mustn't die. She must live on and live well because she had to seek revenge on her trash father and the
home-wreckers' family.
She believed her mother wouldn't have been so sad and had the car accident if her trash father hadn't been a two-timer and
cheated on her.
She hated Phil but she hated her trash father and the home-wreckers' family even more.
