"What is it?"
Thomas's voice trembled as he said this.
Suddenly, he grabbed Nathaniel's hand and asked nervously, "Does this have anything to do with Rainie?"
"I just want to ask you one thing. Are you willing to ignore Rainie's wellbeing for the sake of the child?"
Upon hearing this, Thomas was immediately agitated.
"How is this possible?"
"If you have to pick between the child and Rainie, which one will you choose?"
Thomas was immediately put in a difficult position when he heard this question.
His obsession and dedication to having a child were beyond everyone's imagination, but his love for Rainie was sincere. This was the truth.
Then, Thomas frowned and said painfully, "Do I have to choose? Can't I choose both?"
"No, and this is how life works. You can't have everything you want. Thomas, you are greedy."
After that, Nathaniel sighed and patted him on the shoulder before whispering, "Rainie went back to Angolla with Mango, and Tristan has examined her condition as well. I heard that she had been chronically poisoned. She also began to cough blood, but the hospital couldn't diagnose her condition. Alas! No one knows how long she can live."
After saying that, Nathaniel left.
He had said all he wanted to, and it was up to Thomas to choose.
The news was a huge blow to Thomas. He stood in a trance as Nathaniel's words kept echoing in his mind.
"She was chronically poisoned, and she began to cough blood."
These words were like a curse as they kept lingering around his ear.
Thomas suddenly felt guilty and regretful. He knew he had been a total jerk!
After all, he felt sorry to Rainie from the moment he wanted a child. He also knew that she had suffered a ton because of his actions. In fact, he had wanted to seek justice for her. He thought it would be more appropriate to deal with Emory after she had given birth. However, he didn't expect Rainie to already be in such a critical condition.
Rainie, who was once cheerful, fiesty and full of righteousness was actually at the verge of dying?
That couldn't be!
How was this possible?
Thomas caught up with Nathaniel and stopped him directly.
"Mr. Ye, are you lying to me?"
However, Nathaniel narrowed his eyes and said faintly, "What would I get out of lying to you?"
Nothing at all!
Thomas had everything he ever dreamed of because of Nathaniel. Although he worked hard, Nathaniel's support allowed him to live a well-off life with his family.
He obviously believed in Nathaniel and was confident in their years of friendship. After all, they had been through ups and downs together. He knew that Nathaniel would definitely not joke about these matters.
