Chapter 469
What worried Abbott most was that if Rita could not accept the existence of the child, what should he do?
What kind of harm would it do to the child?
"Go to school. I will be back soon, huh?" Abbott carried the child's bag and handed her a cup of water as he instructed.
Fortunately, since he had said that he would bring her mother back this time, Ricki calmed down a bit.
She nodded obediently at Abbott. "Uncle, don't worry. I will be a good girl."
"Well, good girl!"
Abbott's heart ached when he saw how sensible the child was.
At this moment, he suddenly had an idea that Rita really didn't want this child anymore.
Then, let her marry Baird, and then he would take Ricki with him for the rest of his life. He would never give anyone a chance to mistreat her.
...
As soon as he got in the car.
The phone vibrated. Abbott picked up the phone and looked at it. It was Edward's number. He picked it up and said, "Hello."
"It's me."
On the other side of the phone came Emma's heavy voice.
Abbott was stunned!
Although Rita had been dealing with the Wallis family during this period of time, he had never contacted the Wallis family face to face.
Now Emma called him in person?
After thinking for half a second, Abbott quickly calmed down and said respectfully to the other side of the phone, "Emma!"
"Mr. Pearson, Nelson is about to die."
Abbott: "..."
There was a buzz in his head!
What was going on?
His hand couldn't help but tremble. He didn't expect things to turn out like this.
"What's going on?" The moment he opened his mouth, Abbott's mind was buzzing.
Although he had always hated Nelson, when he heard that he was about to die, Abbott was thinking about it!
Why?
What's wrong with him?
On the phone, Emma gave a brief explanation of the situation, and Abbott also knew that Nelson had done those things for Rita.
He didn't expect that in the end, Nelson would give up his life for Rita! He knew the danger of the operation.
But even at that time, he still did not hesitate.
And now, the main purpose of Emma's call was to get him to send Ricki to New Clamport..!
"Mr. Pearson, I know it's inappropriate to say that, but now... Rita is gone. The only person I can find is you."
The more Emma spoke, the more choked she became.
Once, Abbott hated Nelson and wished he could die. But now, when he heard that Emma was so helpless.
He was speechless!
In the end, he said, "There is something urgent now..."
"Mr. Pearson, if you don't feel at ease, I'll personally pick up Ricki. Is that okay?"
Before Abbott could finish his words, he was interrupted by Emma.
Yes!
If he was worried about others, then Emma would personally pick up Ricki.
After all, Ricki was not his daughter. He couldn't make the decision, but the key was Rita's present situation.
All these made Abbott feel that what he was experiencing right now was hell.
In the end, "Okay!"
After all, Nelson was already like that. What else could he do?
Even Abbott was thinking about a problem. If Nelson was pretending this time, he would take the child away.
Would Rita still not hand the child over to Nelson like before?
Or... in fact, she would also want Nelson to take away the child. After that, it had nothing to do with her. She would never see her again.
Just as if these two people had never appeared in her world?
If she could really avoid this pain to such a degree, Abbott thought that Rita could not do that.
"Thank you, thank you very much." On the other side of the phone, Emma heard Abbott's words and said excitedly.
But from Emma's attitude, Abbott thought that it was probably true this time.
Maybe Nelson really couldn't make it anymore!
Such a possibility fell on Nelson, which made him feel a little sad in an instant.
...
In the New Clamport Hospital.
Nelson had fallen into a coma. He had a high fever again and again.
The doctor said that this was a typical serious side effect.
When Jaime and Edward saw him like this, they were not happy. They heard Jaime say, "I told him that it would kill him!"
"Do you think he wants to live?" Edward looked at Jaime and said calmly.
Hearing this, Jaime was stiff all over.
Want to live?
After coming back from Franktown, Nelson had always been indifferent and did not care about his own body at all.
After such a big operation, smoking and drinking never stopped.
This was even more a taboo for his body.
The reason why he was so depressed was naturally... that he had completely let go of Rita and himself.
Jaime scratched his hair and asked, "Where is Rita now?"
Why hasn't she shown up yet?
Edward was silent as he looked at the furious expression on Jaime's face!
Jaime said, "No matter how much she hated him before, is it enough now?"
Was that enough?
Sometimes, the harm to a woman's heart could not be made up with even death. Edward was very clear about it.
And he had experienced such pain before, so even if he knew where she was, he did not dare to approach her at all.
It was because he didn't deserve it!
...
Emma moved very quickly. After the call, she sat down in a car because she was afraid that the Wallis family would arrive in Westgrad in a few hours.
After Abbott handed Ricki over to her, he rushed to the Yukon Mountain.
On the plane.
Looking at Emma, Ricki was very happy.
The child was so simple. She knew very well who was good to her.
"Grandma, where are we going now?"
"We're going to see..." After all, your father, Emma, could not say these two words.
Thinking of the pale face of Nelson in the hospital, she thought, "Don't tell her."
"Ricki, can you tell me, do you miss Dad?"
"Mom said that Dad is dead. I don't have a father!"
Emma was speechless. When she heard this, tears welled up in her eyes.
Rita had never thought of letting Ricki know who her father was in her entire life.
How could she tell the child that her father was about to face the end of his life?
"Do you know where your mother went." She changed the subject.
Ricki shook her head. "I don't know."
Speaking of Rita, Ricki became depressed.
She missed her mother so much, but when would her mother come back?
"Uncle will bring Mom back." Emma felt Ricki's emotions and comforted her softly.
After all, she was his granddaughter, so Emma doted on Ricki very much.
