Chapter 68
Meno
“Oh, I have to tell you, Leland is fine. The director personally operated on him, and his condition stabilized. You don’t need to worry. Although his spleen was stabbed, it’s not a severe problem. With proper rest, he will recover in no time.”
I nodded energetically, thinking about how there were only more than ten days left before I could leave.
I fought back tears as I asked Carlie, “Carlie, can you help me with something? I want you to write ‘miscarriage’ on my medical record. I don’t want Leland to know that I was pregnant with his child.”
Carlie was surprised.”Kay, Leland loves you deeply. Everyone in San Francisco knows that you two are very much in love. What happened? Why do you want to hide this from him?”
Carlie’s concern made me cry even harder. Denise, feeling indignant, told the whole story, leaving Carlie shocked and unable to believe it.
This is unacceptable. Leland actually cheated on you! I remember now, that Caitlyn was indeed pregnant. I was the one who examined her. She was already two months pregnant!”
I nodded and showed Carlie the mocking text message from Caitlyn. After reading it, she was so angry that she wanted to confront Leland immediately.
I stopped her.”No, Carlie, don’t go to him. I’ve already signed the immigration papers and obtained a new identity to study and live in Britain. I even set up a factory there. Mary will become my godmother. I really don’t want to live here anymore.”
Tears fell onto my hand, and my words made Carlie start crying too. She said, “Alright, Kay, if you need any help from me, just let me know.”
Carlie left and returned within minutes with the changed medical record. She spoke with a hint of resentment, “Rest assured, I will not let Leland and Caitlyn off easily. I’ll tell him soon that you had a miscarriage. As for Caitlyn, I’ll make sure she lives in constant fear every day.”
