A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 381

He didn't answer but his hands held her tighter and it seemed like he used all his strength to hug her till she was embedded in his body. Then, he let go of her and held her hand. “Let’s get home!”

Why didn't he give a response? She wanted to ask but she was afraid that it would seem like she took it too serious, and she let him hold her hands and both of them walked to the car.

“I will accompany Renee tomorrow!” Leila said after getting in the car.

Vincent snorted coldly. “You can’t!”

“But she needs me!” Leila responded immediately.

Vincent inserted his key into the keyhole and turned to look at her. By then, he found that her hair had grown longer and draped softly on her shoulders, and her big eyes were shining brightly which was really beautiful. He stared at her for a long while until Leila felt a little awkward and asked, “What are you looking at?”

Vincent nodded thoughtfully and murmured, “Let your hair to keep growing, I like long hair. Renee has to ask the child's father if she wants to get an abortion!”

He kept staring at her when he was talking to her. He said, “No one has the authority to deprive a life of its right to live. You are also an executioner if you are going with her!”

“Did you hear that?” Leila was shocked and she was even more astonished after listening to his following words. She knew that he was kind. Yes, no one had the right to end a life casually!

“Of course! She was shouting. I wonder who can't hear it!”

“Ah!” Leila’s face blushed. Oh, yes! She forgot to stop Renee from screaming at that time as she was in a hurry. “Isn't she be more pitiful if I don’t go with her?"

The car passed and turned around the street corner. Suddenly, Leila saw the familiar figure in front of her, “Stop! Stop!”

“What's wrong?” Vincent stopped his car.

Callum walked by with a woman at the front of the bustling street corner.

Leila opened the door and ran towards him.

“Leila—” Vincent yelled at her anxiously because he saw a car almost hit her.

Leila was suffering from the shock but then she still ran and chased after Callum.

“Callum West! Callum?” Leila called him for a few times.

Callum turned around and he was surprised to see Leila who was panting heavily, “Leila? What a coincidence, you go shopping?”

Leila glanced at the girl next to him. She was a noble girl who was tall, plump and having a pair of big slanting eyes with a sharp look. Leila smiled at her. “Hi, I'm Callum’s colleague, I have some work issues to talk to him!”

Callum was startled because Leila had resigned. He guessed that she might have come for Renee. He told the girl beside him, “Lennie, this is Leila, Mr. Hunter’s daughter!”

Lennie Newman is the daughter of Secretary Newman. When she heard that Leila was the daughter of Brian Hunter, she changed her expression in an instant and nodded slightly. “Hello!”

At that moment, Vincent had already reached there and he grabbed Leila’s hand.

“Mr. White?”

Callum was a little surprised. He didn't expect Vincent to be there. He smiled and nodded with a hello.

Leila repeated, “Callum, I wanted to report some issues to you!”

Vincent’s eyes darkened. He was trying to stop it but he remained silent after seeing the pleading look in Leila’s eyes.

Just as Callum moved aside with Leila, she whispered immediately, “Callum, Renee was staying at the piano store now which was 200 meters away from the street corner. Please go and meet her!”

Leila thought that Callum shouldn’t have no feelings for Renee. Her prediction was just right, when she mentioned Renee, his eyes flashed a touch of pain but it passed away very quickly.

Leila spoke again, “No matter who it is that you are going to marry, that is up to you. However, you have to tell Renee that it's over, go and meet her or else you will regret!”

Callum nodded. “Thank you, Leila!”

Leila only talked to him briefly and then she reminded him again. “Anyway, you must meet her in person!”

He frowned and nodded.

Vincent and Lennie stood there waiting for them. She said something to Vincent and he just frowned and didn't say a word. She seemed a little angry when she saw that he didn't respond.

Leila ran over, “Lennie, I'm sorry to take up your time!”

“It's okay!” Lennie pulled her lips and glanced at Leila. Then, she looked at Vincent.

Vincent looked down at Leila and rubbed her hair. Then, he held her hand and said nothing. They returned to the car.

Leila saw that he seemed unhappy. She explained, “I said nothing to him, I just told him that he must go to meet Renee in short!”

Vincent pursed his lips without having a trace of surprise in his eyes, and just stared at her in silence for a minute before driving.

“Mr. White, are you blaming me for being nosy?” Leila asked.

He sighed and said solemnly, “Callum found a nympho! Lennie was not as good as Renee!”

“Huh?” Leila was shocked, what did he mean?

He did not continue explaining on it. The car passed by Callum and Lennie. In the reverse car mirror, Vincent saw Lennie looking as their car were leaving. The words Lennie said just now flashed in his mind, “President, a mayor’s stepdaughter seems a bit inappropriate referring to your status? Obviously, Leila is not staying at the same level with you and she is not worthy of you!”

The next day, Leila received a call from Renee, “Leila, let's gather at the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office. You just need to send me back. I'm afraid that I will die there due to hemorrhage!”

“You,” Leila took a pause. “Are you sure you still want to go?”

Didn't Callum go and meet her? Leila was so worried!

Vincent walked out of the bathroom and he saw that Leila was on the phone again. Without saying a word, he took the medicine box and came over. The wound on her elbow was healing and it needed medicine.

“Okay! I'm going with you now!” Leila put down her phone and got up but she was pulled by Vincent.

“Apply medicine!” He only spoke two short words.

No matter what she said, he started to help Leila on applying iodine on her wound.

Leila’s heart felt very warm. She was watching Vincent who frowned gently and helped her to clean up her wound little by little. He put on new gauze and the gauze was tied neatly with extra care.

Leila raised her head to look at him but she didn't expect him to get close to her all of a sudden. They were so close, so close… His breath hit her suddenly. Her eyes flashed, and she moved forward and took the initiative to print a kiss on his lips. Vincent was taken aback by her action as well. He became stiff for a while and then he hugged her immediately and deepened the kiss. He only let go of her after a long time. “Let’s go! I'll take you there!”

Vincent knew that Leila was worried about her friend and she had rarely worried about a person, Renee should be considered as one of her good friends in her limited friend list. Therefore, he did not stop her from going.

“You don’t have to do that!” Leila said immediately, “I can go by myself!”

“I'll drive you there!” Vincent said abruptly and his brief answer overwhelmed her voice. He was having a strong and determined attitude which made her unable to reject him.

When Leila arrived at the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, she saw Renee squatting at the corner of the gate like an abandoned puppy. She squatted there with her arms hugging around her shoulders and her head buried in her knees. She seemed so small and pitiful.

Vincent saw Renee as well, he looked at Leila. “I will send a driver to follow you. After sending her home safely, you come to my company and find me!”

“Okay! No problem!” Leila got out of his car.

“Oh, wait!” He lowered his car window.

“What’s wrong?” Leila was confused.

“Come here!” He said in a deep voice.

Leila went over, she bent down and got near to his car window. He got his head out and left a gentle kiss on her face, “Okay! You can go now, my girl!”

Leila’s face was blushed thoroughly, and she yelled in a low voice, “Mr. White!”

They were in front of the the city hall. How could he kiss her just recklessly? Especially since Renee was in such a sad mood, Leila had the opinion that she shouldn’t be too happy and she felt sorry for Renee.

“Attention to your injured elbow!” Vincent reminded her before he closed his car window and left with his pressed lips. Just as he left, a car came over and his driver’s business car stopped in front of the office. The driver was standing there and waiting for Leila and Renee.

“Renee?” Leila went over and called her.

Renee raised her face. Leila saw that her eyes were red and swollen. Leila thought that it must be the result of her crying over a night.

“Leila, why are you late? Let’s go!” Renee stood up and held Leila’s hand to go. At that moment, the driver came towards them and said.

“Miss, Sir had ordered me to service you and your friend!”

Renee was stunned for a moment, “Wow, Leila, your husband was not that bad! He was so thoughtful, alright, let’s go!”

Leila sighed in her heart, she looked back at the city hall. Callum was not there, she had no idea whether they had met yesterday or not. What did they talk? Why did Renee adhere to get an abortion?

In the car, Renee said, “This car is so cool. It’s so good to be rich!”

Leila knew that Renee was just trying to act as she was happy. Leila sighed, “Renee, when did you go back yesterday?”

“Oh! I went back late, and sang two more hours!”

“So…” Leila actually wanted to ask if she meet Callum. Didn’t he go and meet her?”

“I slept well, Leila. Don’t say anything, I don’t want to talk now! I know what you mean but I have made my decision!”

Renee was so determined on that.

In the hospital.

Outside the gynecological abortion room.

“Where is the child's father? The child's father need to sign for abortion!” The nurse said formulaically.

“Dead!” Renee gave a brief answer indifferently.

The nurse looked at her and she also understood that Renee was having unmarried pregnancy. The nurse spoke disdainfully, “Pay the bill!”

At that moment, Leila saw the humiliation flashing in Renee’s eyes. However, Renee just bit her lip until her lips turned pale. Then, she straightened her back and entered the operating room.

When Leila saw Renee going in, her whole heart was hung up. She was not reconciled. She picked up her phone and called Callum. She wanted to grab a chance for Renee for once and last because she knew that only Callum could stop Renee now.

After the call was made, she heard Callum’s voice on the line soon. “Leila!”

“Callum, didn't you meet Renee last night?”

He pondered and said, “Yes, we have met! Thank you, Leila. The relationship between me and Renee is over, and you won’t understand! But still thanks for your kindness!”

“It's over?” Leila buzzed her head, but said anxiously, “Callum, didn't Renee tell you something?”

“We have talked over everything!” Callum said again, “If you have nothing else to say, I’ll hang up now!”
