Chapter 189 - 189: How Could It Be?
How could it be?
Olivia's cousin, Donna, was involved in an affair with Henley? They were completely in two different worlds! How could they know each other?
But the name on the front of the head was Henley.
The same head and the same name proved everything!
Savannah's heart was beating faster. Maybe… it was just a coincidence? Donna just knew Henley, and their relationship was not what she thought.
But she could hardly convince herself of such a thought.
She knew it was wrong to peek at other's phone, but her curiosity already drove her to double click the screen.
The email content appeared before her eyes.
"Does it still hurt today? She hasn't gone out yet. I'll come to see you and the baby later."
The cellphone nearly slipped from Savannah's fingers.
Every word was full of care and concern.
If Henley and Donna were just acquaintances or friends, why did Henley sent such an ambiguous email to her?
She had been wondering why Donna could live in such a good house and give birth in such an expensive hospital with no job. What's more, she had neither a husband nor a family around her.
Could the secret man, the baby's father, be...Henley?
She hasn't gone out yet. "She" must be Susan.
Wait... Olivia and her cousin Donna were both from Michigan. She remembered that Henley seemed to come from Michigan too!
That day in the hallway of the hotel, Susan asked Henley angrily if he was still thinking about his first love.
Was Donna Henley's first love that was separated from Henley by Susan when they were young?
Now, the two met and secretly got together again? And had a baby on the sly?
Savannah was left speechless by the startling discovery.
Life was more dramatic than TV drama.
In her mind, Henley had always been honest, even timid, and followed every word from his wife.
Unexpectedly, such a man had an affair…
Was it out of his anger and humiliation accumulated for years?
After all, he and his first love were separated from each other by Susan, and Susan didn't take him seriously after marriage.
Savannah wondered what Susan's expression was, as if she knew her honest husband had an affair with another woman and even had a baby.
No matter how overpowering and strong a woman was, such a thing would be a great shock to her.
"Miss, do you still want your clothes washed?" The nursing assistant in the laundry room asked.
Savannah woke up, put Donna's cell phone in her pocket, and stuffed the coat back into the bag, handing them over.
Back in the ward, Donna had finished milking, and Olivia was cutting an apple for her cousin.
Savannah looked at Donna in a complicated mood. She had thought Donna's boyfriend had passed away or abandoned her, but now the truth was that Donna was Henley's mistress.
"Savannah, what's up? What are you doing standing at the door?" Olivia handed the apple to Donna and asked.
Donna looked at Savannah too.
Savannah forced a smile, pretending like everything was okay. She walked in and handed Donna her cell phone. "Nothing. Oh, Donna, your mobile phone is left in your pocket. Fortunately, the nurse found it and took it out."
"Oh, thank you, Savannah. I was looking for my phone. So I forgot to take it out of my pocket? I became so stupid after pregnancy!" Donna patted on her head.
Savannah sat down and began to chat with Olivia and Donna again.
Olivia wanted to keep her cousin company a bit longer, so Savannah stayed with her.
They spent the whole day in the hospital.
It was getting dark before Savannah and Olivia got up to leave.
Outside the hospital door, Matt was waiting in his car to pick up Olivia.
"Savannah, get in, and we'll take you back. It's hard to take a taxi at this time." Olivia said.
"No, thanks. We're not on the same road. If I can't get a car later, I'll…" As she said, she took a glance at an SUV somewhere down the street.
"Well, Beverly Hills is in a rich area, really too far from where Matt and I live," Olivia winked at Savannah and said, "and I forgot you have bodyguards with you! They will take you back. I don't need to worry about you at all!"
"Olivia!" Savannah raised her hand, pretending to hit her. Olivia giggled as she dodged and said goodbye before she left first.
Looking after Olivia as she left with Matt, Savannah's smile faded away.
It seemed that Olivia was completely unaware that her cousin had an affair with a married man.
Then she should not tell her. It was Donna's secret, after all.
Olivia hated homewreckers. When she knew Valerie took Devin away from her, she almost killed Valerie at the café last time.
What would she do if she knew her cousin was Henley's mistress?
Maybe it was because Savannah disclosed a secret, she felt very tired. She had no mood to wait for a taxi. Taking out her cell phone, she called the bodyguard across the road.
"Drive me back, please."
"Yes, Miss Schultz."
The SUV came slowly and stopped in front of Savannah. Then the bodyguard got out and opened the rear door.
Savannah entered the car with a heavy heart.
As the car started, Savannah closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep.
***
Mild Evening drew her thin empurpled veil.
The car pulled into Beverly Hills and halted in front of a villa under the warm orange street light.
The bodyguard looked at the girl in the rear seat through the mirror, startled.
Savannah was not awake.
He didn't know whether to wake her up or not.
"Where is she?"
On the steps came a man's low voice.
The bodyguard hurriedly got out of the car when he saw Dylan coming. He looked helplessly at the little woman through the window.
"Sir, Miss Schultz is asleep... "
Dylan's thin lips twitched.
Fell asleep?
