Take My Breath Away Chapter 1322

Chapter 1322 - The Exclusive Examination Room

After their meeting, the general manager of Global Entertainment left first. Chantel stayed in the coffee shop for quite a while, sitting alone and staring at the window blankly, still trying to digest what had happened just now.

All of a sudden, she caught sight of two men in military uniforms. Because of Gifford, she had always been sensitive to green military uniforms recently.

But this time, she was surprised when she recognized one of them. It was really Gifford!

She had never seen him again after they had gotten their marriage licenses more than a month ago.

The excitement she felt during her meeting with the general manager of Global Entertainment just now doubled upon seeing Gifford.

She couldn't help thinking, 'What is he doing here? Did he know that I'm here, so he came to look for me?

But it's impossible. I didn't tell anyone about this meeting.'

The two men walked straight to the corner and sat down in a slightly hidden table.

The smile on Chantel's face vanished as her heart sank. She was wrong. He didn't come here for her.

She was about to go to their table to greet him when a woman in a brown coat came in and walked straight to them.

Subconsciously, she sank back to her seat.

Although she could see them clearly from where she sat, she couldn't hear what they were talking about, so she just watched them.

After talking for quite a while, the woman stood up angrily and pulled Gifford's sleeve. Gifford stood up and patted the woman's shoulder as if comforting her. He then led her out of the cafe.

Chantel didn't mind the other man as her gaze followed Gifford and the woman outside. Gifford was talking to the woman in front of his car. She didn't know what he said to take the woman's anger away, but they ended up laughing. Eventually, he invited the woman to get in his car.

His car had already left a few moments ago, but Chantel was still staring outside, her mind blank.

She had even forgotten her plan to call Erica to thank her the moment she saw Gifford left with another woman.

In a hospital of Y City

Paige carefully supported Erica to enter the elevator. They were there for the latter's prenatal checkup. As soon as they stepped inside the elevator, Erica caught a glimpse of someone familiar to her. She was the rich lady whom she had given a vase in a charity auction last time.

Behind her was a maid, who was carrying some expensive gifts in her hands. When she saw and recognized Erica, she greeted warmly, "Hello, Mrs. Huo. What a coincidence!"

Erica smiled at her and greeted back, "Hello."

"Are you here to visit a patient, Mrs. Huo?"

"No. I'm here for my prenatal checkup."

"Oh. You've entered the wrong building. This is the inpatient department. You should be at the outpatient department," the rich lady reminded her.

With a smile on her face, Erica explained, "I have an exclusive examination room in the inpatient department." The exclusive room was arranged by Matthew ahead of time.

"Oh, my poor memory. How could I forget? Mrs. Huo will not have to wait in line like commoners for checkups." Feeling embarrassed, the rich lady gently slapped her forehead.

The elevator then became quiet for a moment before Erica asked casually, "Are you here to visit a patient?"

"Yes. Mr. Chai's son, Watkins, had an accident the night before yesterday. He told me that I could visit today, so I came to check on his son," the lady answered truthfully. She had no idea that Erica also knew the person she mentioned.

"Watkins?" Erica was shocked to hear his name.

"Yes. Do you know him?"

Before she could answer, the elevator stopped on the ninth floor, where the obstetrics and gynecology department was located.

Casting a glance at the opened elevator door, she asked hurriedly, "What happened to him?"

"I heard someone hit him badly, and he's severely injured. His ward is on the fifteenth floor." Since Erica had given the rich lady a valuable vase, and she knew that she was Matthew's wife, she had said so much.

Fortunately, there was no one else in the elevator, so Erica took the opportunity to ask again, "He's my friend. May I know his ward number? I'll visit him after my checkup." She already had an appointment with her doctor so she couldn't go there now.

"VIP Ward 6."

"Thank you," she said before walking out of the elevator. Paige, who had been blocking the elevator doors from closing, followed behind her.

"Bye!" The rich lady smiled and waved at her. But before the doors closed, she added, "Mrs. Huo, let's have some tea one of these days."

"Sure."

The doctor did a thorough check on Erica this time. Afterward, she said with a smile, "Mrs. Huo, you have nothing to worry about. Your babies are both fine. Although I can't see one of the embryos clearly yet, I am pretty sure that there are two babies inside your belly. After a few days, the other embryo will be visible."

Matthew had personally invested in this most advanced new ultrasound machine that the doctor was using. But since the babies were too small yet, they sometimes couldn't be seen clearly in some places.

Paige wiped the ultrasound gel on Erica's belly and helped her get up from the bed.

"Thank you so much, doctor," Erica said with a smile.

"You're welcome, Mrs. Huo," the doctor replied.

After her checkup, they went to the fifteenth floor as she promised to the rich lady.

They found Watkins' ward number immediately. The rich lady had already left, but the gifts and flowers she brought were inside the ward.

When the nurse, who was taking care of Watkins, saw them at the door, she said in a low voice, "Who are you looking for? The visiting hours are over."

Erica pointed at the man in bed who was wrapped in bandages. Since his eyes were closed, he must be sleeping.

"Sorry, Mr. Chai is not available right now," said the nurse again.

Paige didn't want Erica's effort to go to waste. Besides, it would be inconvenient for her to come back and see Watkins another time. So, she deliberately raised her voice as she said to the nurse, "Mrs. Huo heard that Mr. Chai was injured, so she came to see how he is now."

As expected, Watkins opened his eyes upon hearing Paige's voice.

The moment he saw Erica, a complicated emotion flashed through his eyes. He struggled to call her name, "Erica…"

As she heard him call her name, Erica rushed to his bedside. Looking at his almost unrecognizable face, she asked worriedly, "What happened to you? You were just fine two days ago. How did you end up like this?"

His mouth curved into a faint smile. "Haven't you heard what happened?"

That moment, Paige's phone rang. It was Matthew. She walked to the window and answered it, "Mr. Huo."

Erica shook her head to Watkins' question and asked doubtfully, "Is there something I need to know?"

Watkins fell silent for a moment before he spoke again. "I was the one who sent you those roses."

"What? It was you?" She was stunned. No wonder Matthew got very angry and blamed her for accepting flowers from another man. She didn't have any idea that Watkins was the one who sent them. "Why did you send me those roses?"

"Because I like you."

Watkins' straightforwardness stunned her more. She suddenly got confused. Did he like her as a friend or more than that?
