Chapter 77 There Was Another Woman?
Could it be that he had just come back from another woman?
This thought flashed through Adele’s mind. A few seconds later, she ruled out this idea.
Damon was not that kind of man. Even if they lacked a relationship foundation, he should not have treated their marriage like this.
Mary saw her standing at the stairs for a long time and quickly came over to ask, “Madam, what’s wrong?”
“Damon doesn’t seem to be very happy,” Adele muttered.
“Maybe it’s because work is too tiring. Don’t think too much about it,” Mary hurriedly comforted.
Adele nodded, but she still felt a little strange in her heart. Seeing this, Mary, who was at the side, sighed and advised softly, “How about I make a pot of white tea and you bring it up to see how Young Master is?”
“Okay,” Adele hurriedly nodded.
Now that she saw that he was in a bad mood, she was more or less worried.
When the white tea was ready, Adele carried the tray and went to the door of the study. She knocked on the door. “Mary made tea for you. Do you want to drink it?”
There was no sound inside. Adele took a deep breath and slowly pushed open the door of the study.
She looked inside. The room was a little dark. Only the floor lamp beside the sofa in the corner was on. The light was dim and the smoke was lingering.
In the darkness, Adele could vaguely make out the man’s cold face, and also saw the cigarette butt between his fingertips.
The man turned his head and looked at her sharply. His cold eyes did not carry a trace of emotion. He said coldly, “Get out!”
Adele was stunned, and the words that were stuck in her throat suddenly stopped.
Her heart sank. Her heart was covered with a layer of frost by his words. She retreated and closed the door, standing at the door in a daze for a long time.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Was that really the Damon she knew? Was he really the man who had wanted to marry her in the beginning? Was he really the person who had gently put the ring on her?
Had he really encountered something that could not be solved?
Adele bit her lips, suppressed the grievance in her heart, and left with the tray.
In the room, Damon sat on the sofa, his deep eyes full of emotions.
The image of Clara crying and begging him kept replaying in his mind. He thought about how she vomited after she was done with hemodialysis. The day after tomorrow was the scheduled time for the operation, but Adele was sick. Everything had to be delayed. The operation schedule had to be rearranged…
Taking a deep breath, Damon took out his phone and called Doctor Lambert. “Hello, Dr. Lambert, come to the courtyard tomorrow and treat Adele’s health…”
Now, only if Adele could recover quickly could the operation be arranged as soon as possible. This time, no matter what, he had to be ruthless and find a chance to tell her the truth about this matter. Everything else could be delayed, but Clara’s illness could not be delayed.
…..
The next morning, Adele had just eaten breakfast and was about to change her clothes and resume work at the company. When she reached the stairs, she met Damon.
“You don’t have to go to the company for the next few days. Take a good rest at home. Your health is the most important thing.”
Hearing his sudden concern, Adele was stunned for a moment, then said softly, “It’s okay. I think I’m almost recovered. I have medicine with me…”
“No.” Damon frowned and said in a cold and firm tone, “When Doctor Lambert comes later, he will examine your condition.”
“I…”
Adele was speechless and did not know how to answer. Looking at the man’s serious expression, she could only nod and agree.
He seemed to care about her, but why couldn’t she feel his warmth? Ever since she fainted in the manor, his attitude towards her had completely changed. Could it be that she had caused him some trouble?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. Adele returned to her room, picked up her phone, and secretly called Shirley.
“Hello? Shirley.”
“Adele! You finally thought of calling me! How is it? Are you feeling better now?”
Hearing Shirley’s excited voice coming from the phone, Adele smiled and whispered, “I may not be able to go back to work in the next few days. Shirley, I called you because I have something to ask you…”
“What is it?” asked Shirley.
“I just wanted to ask about the situation when you sent me to the hospital that day. I heard that it was you and Corine who sent me there…”
“That’s right. The group building event was also over that day. Everyone came back on a coach later. The supervisor and I went home early.”
“Then… what about Mr. Yusuf?”
“Mr. Yusuf left a long time ago. He seemed to have something to do and left early.”
Hearing Shirley’s words, Adele responded, feeling even more puzzled.
“Adele, what’s wrong? Is there a problem?”
“Nothing. Thank you and Corine, I’ll treat you to a meal someday soon.”
“We are colleagues. Why are you so polite? Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore. I am going to write a plan here!”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Adele was silent for a long time.
According to what Shirley said, Damon had already left that day. After she fainted it was Corine and the others who sent her to the hospital. Logically speaking, she should not have caused him any trouble. Why was he so cold to her in the past two days?
Before she could understand, someone knocked on the door. “Madam, Doctor Lambert is here. Is it convenient for you to have a check-up now?”
When Adele heard this, she immediately got up to open the door. When she saw Mary and Doctor Lambert outside the door, she nodded at them. “Sure.”
After asking about the basic symptoms, Doctor Lambert understood her situation and left the prepared Chinese medicine behind, telling Mary to heat it up twice a day.
Before leaving, Doctor Lambert looked at Adele and smiled kindly. “Old Madame’s eyes are right. You are indeed more suitable for Damon.”
When Adele heard this, she was stunned.
From the way he addressed Damon, she could guess that the relationship between this doctor and the Yusuf family was not ordinary. After a pause, she smiled and asked jokingly, “More suitable? Was there anyone who was not suitable before? ”
Hearing this, Doctor Lambert’s expression changed slightly, and then he smiled, “Even if there was, it was history now. Take a good rest and take medicine on time.”
After that, he left with the medicine box.
Adele stood there, watching Doctor Lambert’s back disappear at the door. Her heart sank.
Doctor Lambert’s words, the perfume smell on Damon, and the mysterious Clara, all these details were connected together. She was almost certain that Damon had a woman by his side.
She did not care about Damon’s previous emotional experience, but now that they had registered their marriage, she could not accept that he had other women by his side. This was where she drew the line in marriage.
In the midst of her frustration, Adele’s mobile phone suddenly vibrated. She picked it up and saw that it was Emily calling.
“Hello? Emily, why are you calling me?” she asked in shock.
“Adele, can you guess where I am?” she asked excitedly.
“What? Have you returned to China?” she asked.
“Yes! I have a performance in Macao and I am in China right now! I might be able to visit you in two days!” she said with a smile.
Adele curled her lips into a smile, but she was still in a bad mood. She replied indifferently, “That’s pretty good.”
On the other side, Emily noticed Adele’s strange tone. She paused and asked, “Adele, what happened to you?”
