Semua Bab The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye: Bab 271 - Bab 280

Unlike Kane, Aria loved children, so when she heard her health wasn't great, she immediately grew anxious.“Doctor, will this affect the baby?” Aria asked, her hand on her flat stomach, looking at the doctor with worry.“You're low on calcium and zinc. Over time, the baby will take nutrients from other parts of your body, which could put both you and the baby at risk,” the doctor explained, providing more information.Aria nodded repeatedly. “Do I need to take any medication?”“No prescriptions are necessary. Just go to a pharmacy and get some prenatal calcium and zinc supplements,” the doctor said with a gentle smile. “The nurse told me you also had a slight fever. That's a normal occurrence. I suggest you try a cold compress first. If the fever persists or gets worse, come back to the clinic, and I’ll write you a prescription”.Aria nodded again, took in the doctor’s final advice, and left the clinic.Standing outside, bathed in the warmth of the afternoon sun, she felt an overwhelm

Aria’s thinking was simple: If Marsh was going to be difficult and refuse the job, she would rather find someone else than have to suck up to him.She was more than willing to use some of the contingency fund to pay someone else rather than filling Marsh’s bottomless pit of greed.“No need for kickbacks or anything like that,” Caleb said, waving his hand with a smile. “I can introduce you to the company JE Group usually works with. I’m sure they’ll be more professional than the guy you just dealt with, for my sake”.With Caleb’s recommendation, Aria was confident this company wouldn’t resort to Marsh’s underhanded tactics.“Really?” she asked, looking at him excitedly. “Will that be a problem for you?”“Not at all,” Caleb shook his head. “If one contractor won't do the job, another one will. It’s not a big deal”.Knowing she wasn’t inconveniencing him, Aria felt much more at ease.“That’s wonderful! Thank you so much!” she said. With Caleb’s help, she was sure everything would be fine

Just as Frank expected, Kane drank himself into a stupor and passed out on the sofa.Frank stood over him, rubbing his temples, looking at the man who was still frowning in his sleep.“Hey, wake up, dummy!” Frank said, kicking his leg, not in the mood to deal with him.Kane was sleeping soundly and only woke up after Frank kicked him hard enough to make him fall off the couch.“Ugh…” The hangover left him with a pounding headache. He pressed his hands to his temples, his eyes barely able to open.“Where am I?” he asked.He had drunk so much the night before that he had blacked out.“My place,” Frank replied, annoyed, then gave him the boot. “No breakfast here today. If you want some, go home”.Kane held his head for a while before he remembered that he had gotten into a fight with Aria and came to Frank’s place to drink.“I slept on the couch last night?” He looked at the room and frowned. “You’re heartless. You didn't even give me a blanket. Was it because I almost drank your prized

After breakfast, Kane was headed back to the office, and Gabriella asked to ride with him to ATTA.“What for?” Kane frowned. “Didn’t you drive here?”“I can leave my car here and you can drive me back tonight,” Gabriella said, acting as if she owned the place. “Besides, I’m a part of ATTA. Why can’t I go back to the office? It’s on the way, isn't it, Aunt Natalie?”Natalie wanted them to spend more time together, but she knew Kane wouldn’t agree to it. Gabriella didn’t know, but Natalie did, that Kane had gotten a new car right after she asked him to drive Gabriella home.The meaning of that wasn't lost on Natalie. Besides, Kane had already made a lot of concessions for her. Now that he had moved back, she felt anything was possible.She wasn’t in a rush, and Gabriella’s impatience annoyed her.“Are you going to ATTA, Gabriella? I thought you were going to spend some time with me today,” Natalie said with a sigh, looking disappointed.“You want me to stay, Auntie?” Gabriella’s eyes da

The department store was packed on a Saturday, and the parking garage was full.Caleb had to drop Aria off at the entrance and go find a spot on the next street over.Aria figured it would take him a while to park, and she wanted to keep what she was buying private, so she went inside on her own.The supplement section was on the first floor but was tucked away, so she had to walk past the main checkout counters to get to it.Aria spotted the sign for the counters and started walking that way. Just as she did, a gunshot rang out.A loud bang, followed by a woman's terrified scream.Aria's face went pale, and she instinctively ducked behind a large flowerpot, her eyes fixed on where the sound came from."One more sound, and I'll kill you!" a man wearing a black ski mask growled, his arm wrapped tightly around a female cashier's neck.The cashier gasped for air, her face turning from red to white, her eyes rolling back in her head.Aria felt a surge of panic but forced herself to stay c
