Please Let Me Go novel Chapter 84

After Hermosa fainted, she was sent to a nearby hospital by Alvin. Alvin did it on purpose. Although Hermosa had not come to the company for many years, her prestige still existed in the minds of those old shareholders. Since Marcus became the president in the Baron Group and Matthew’s father became the vice president, his position was lower than the grandson of Marcus.

Although he was an illegitimate child, he was Marcus's son. After Bennett was died and Antonio became the president, it would be his turn to get some shares, right?

But this old woman, she would rather support her other relatives than let him get the share. If it weren’t that Alive heard her talk about the will with the lawyer that day, Alvin would have not known that the old woman hated him so much!

Besides, Antonio was still young. Matthew was in his fifties. Alvin himself was a doctoral student and graduated from a prestigious foreign university. He could not compare with Antonio? No matter how big or small things happened at home, he had never objected Hermosa.

He had pretended to be obedient in front of her year after year. But she actually treated Matthew better than him. He was so angry. He hated that the hard work of these years still couldn't get Hermosa's any favor.

Alvin sat on the chair, looking at Hermosa lying on the bed with some hatred. Hermosa slowly woke up. He immediately pretended to be anxious and worried.

He pretended to be overjoyed to see her wake up. He leaned forward and asked softly, "How are you feeling?"

"Cough, cough. Where is Antonio?" Hermosa didn't believe that the grandson she had brought up would be so unrelenting to her. She asked Antonio’s whereabouts as soon as she woke up.

Alvin pursed his lips, and then sat down in the chair obediently. He hesitated. Seeing Alvin’s expression, Hermosa knew that Antonio hadn't come to see her. Then she coughed badly.

Alvin quickly got up and sat on the edge of the bed. He helped Hermosa pat her back gently, while picking up the water glass on the cabinet with the other hand and fed it to her mouth.

Hermosa looked Alvin up and down. Alvin looked filial and was taking care of her. Then Hermosa’s eyes turned into red. She didn't expect that when she was really sick, the person who took care of her was not her most beloved grandson but the illegitimate child who she had hated. Tears welled up into her eyes, "Just tell me, that jerk hasn’t visited me by now, has he?"

Alvin hesitated for a while, and he said, "Antonio gave a call to me. He said that he has been busy recently. It seems that the woman who came to our house last time was a little uncomfortable. He is taking care of her in the hospital and couldn't spare time.” After a pause, he put down the water glass, "Or, I'll call Adelaide over?"

Hearing this, Hermosa got mad again. Then she coughed again. She waved her hand. Adelaide was pregnant. It was inconvenient for Adelaide to go out alone. Hermosa thought there was nothing wrong with her, so it would better not let Adelaide know in order not to let her be anxious. But Hermosa was still unsatisfied with Antonio, "Humph, don't tell Adelaide. Since he didn’t come, he doesn’t have to treat me as his Grandma anymore."

Who said that the elderly could see things through? When they were really angry, they would act like children. Alvin patted her back gently, "Don't talk nonsense. Antonio really called me. Maybe he’s really busy."

What Alvin said seemed to help Antonio, but it made Hermosa even more angry. For a bitch, Antonio left his Grandma alone and didn’t come to visit his Grandma!

Hermosa was sulking, lying on the hospital bed. Then she closed her eyes, ignoring Antonio’s matters anymore.

In the hospital, Antonio kept accompanying Adelaide all the time. He felt guilty about his Grandma being questioned by those officers. But he just thought that maybe Grandma would have been a little frightened. Ivy would take good care of her when she returned home. Adelaide was not well. He was worried about that it would be an unbearable blow for Grandma to know the child was gone.

So he dared not call Grandma to ask about the situation for several days, causing Grandma to misunderstand him more and more.

Adelaide did not speak or respond after the psychologist left. When Antonio held her hand to let her walk, she would follow him, but she still had not too much reaction. This made Antonio very depressed. The most fortunate thing was that Adelaide was alive.

On this day, Antonio took Adelaide outside to bask in the sun. One week later, Adelaide still shut herself in her own world. The psychologist would come for an hour every day. He tried various methods during this week, but Adelaide still couldn’t recognize him the second day.

The psychologist hadn't encountered such a stubborn patient for a long time. Adelaide aroused his great interest. The more she didn't want to talk to anyone, the more he wanted Adelaide to speak to others.

After a few days of contact, Antonio knew his name. Calvin Sutton, a top student who had studied abroad, had been in contact with many patients with special cases abroad. Among his patients, some had returned to normal life in the end, but some were still in their own world. Adelaide was different from his previous patients. For the first time, Calvin had a strong desire to cure her.

Antonio had to say that Calvin was a gentle and knowledgeable person. He was very sunny. He always smiled before saying anything. Now Adelaide did not resist his arrival. Although Adelaide still did not speak, she could simply nod or shook her head to answer Calvin's question. This was a great improvement.

Although Antonio was jealous, he still hoped that this man could accompany Adelaide more every day. After today's treatment was over, Calvin hurried back his clinic, because there were new patients in the clinic.

So Antonio accompanied Adelaide out to relax. He held Adelaide in his arms. The flowers in the hospital flowerbeds were now in buds. He and Adelaide were sitting on the bench. Antonio continued to say something to Adelaide, although he couldn’t get any responds.

Not long after, Oscar came over hurriedly. Recently, Antonio hadn’t had the mood to work these days. It was Oscar who dealt with the company’s affairs. Antonio thought that Oscar had some important business affairs to report to him, so he sent Adelaide back to the ward.

Oscar took out the document and handed it to him. Antonio frowned when he saw the first line. When he saw the last line, the corner of document was crumpled by him. He slammed the document at Oscar and punched Oscar in the face, "Who let you did it?"

This was a paternity test. The man’s name was Antonio!

Oscar bowed his head guiltily. He didn’t excuse himself, “Mr. Antonio, it was Mrs. Swift who said that the child was not yours, so I... I’m sorry. I don’t defend myself. I thought you would understand me if the result came out. I didn’t expect that I was set up by them! Sorry, Mr. Antonio!"

Oscar’s apology was very sincere, which made Antonio couldn’t blame him. Oscar always wanted to prove himself to Antonio. But Antonio himself was to blame for all the mistakes. If he took Adelaide away at that time, the following things would not happen. Looking at Oscar coldly, Antonio left a sentence before going to take care of Adelaide, "Others have no right to doubt my wife’s fidelity!"
