We ended the call after Shannon got a few more complaints in.
She was not wrong. If one did not harbor such deep hatred, things would have been done in secret even if it was something like robbing a project. Who would create such a huge fanfare?
There was only one possibility. There was beef between Drover and Theo.
Yet they had clearly been partners before…
This puzzled me.
This night was doomed to be a sleepless one.
I only fell asleep when it was almost dawn.
The next day, I was woken up by the vibrating sound of my phone. It was Shannon calling.
"Wanda, I think I’m going into labor soon. Do you want to come over?" She did not sound like she was about to give birth. I could not hear any pain at all.
Her voice woke me up immediately, though, and I immediately rolled over and got out of bed. "Alright, I'll be right over."
Washing up at the fastest speed I could manage, I went downstairs only to be faced with the rarity of Drover and Marius both being there.
They were sitting face-to-face, looking like they were talking about something big. Both of their expressions were heavy.
I did not pay much attention to them considering the situation with Shannon. I just said, "I'm going out."
Hearing my voice, Drover switched to a smile as he turned to look at me. "Alright. Be careful on the road."
The atmosphere felt strange. I looked at Drover and Marius, and Marius smiled at me immediately as well. "Be careful on the road, Sis Wan"
What the hell were those two up to?
"I got it."
I left out the door after answering lightly.
I drove to the hospital and went straight to Shannon's ward.
She was lying on the bed and was still eating.
"You..." I was stunned at this scene.
