You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 213

"Coralie, don't scare me. Why are you going abroad all of a sudden? Are you pregnant?"

Wayne was not stupid. Coralie didn't say that she was pregnant before, and now she was talking about giving birth.

Also, in what situation would Coralie tell him to take good care of their mother?

"No, I'm not pregnant now. I just want to go abroad and have a healthy child there," she replied immediately.

"Who are you going to have a baby with? Isn't Brother Skylar in the country?"

"I..." Coralie was just about to speak.

"Where is it? It shows that she's nearby."

Before Coralie could finish her words, she heard the bodyguards' voice. She was scared and quickly hung up the phone. Seeing that the bodyguards hadn't noticed her, she ran away with all her might.

The bodyguard seemed to have sensed a movement.

Coralie's nervousness had reached its peak. When she heard the voice of the bodyguard, her heart felt like it almost stopped.

Although she was in the central area of A City, it was also a shanty place. The houses here were shabby, and the roads were also narrow.

Coralie knew that her baby wouldn't be able to take it if she continued to run, so she simply made her way into one of the houses.

She went upstairs to the second floor and laid in a corner, gasping for breath.

At this moment, an old lady who seemed to be in her eighties went upstairs with a basket containing groceries. When she saw Coralie, she was shocked at first, but then she heard the voice of a bodyguard outside the corridor and said, "Girl, come in."

Coralie had never been as relieved as when she heard the words.

As soon as she stepped into the room, the bodyguards came after her.

Coralie's foot was bleeding, so she was careful not to stain the floor when she entered the building. She was almost jumping on one foot. However, her bloody footprints disappeared at the entrance of this building, so the bodyguards naturally entered by following the trace.

However, no bloodstains could be seen in the corridor, so they decided to knock on the door one by one.

When they knocked on the old lady's door, Coralie hid in the corner as she looked cautiously at her. She said, "Grandma, if they are harsh to you, you can hand me over, it's okay."

The old lady waved at her and said, "Go in. It's okay."

As soon as she opened the door, the bodyguard immediately shouted, "Why are you so slow! Did you see a young woman?"

The old lady narrowed her eyes and looked at the bodyguard before she replied, "No."

"No? Then why were you slow to open the door just now?" The bodyguard asked fiercely.

"My ears aren't that good anymore. I just bought something back from the market and I was cooking in the kitchen."

The old lady explained. Her voice was slow and her expression was calm. There was not a trace of fear on her face.

Seeing her like this, the bodyguard didn't doubt much and moved on to the other houses.

The bodyguards then left.

Then, the old lady told Coralie to come out. Seeing that her foot was bleeding and her head was also injured, she took out an old iron box from the old TV cabinet. Part of the paint on the box had come off. She gave Coralie a bottle of iodine and a pair of white socks to treat her wounds.

When Coralie was applying the iodine on her feet, she looked at the expiration date on it and discovered that it had been over two years since it expired.

She raised her head and looked at the house. This property must have been built over 40 years ago. The furniture inside was from the last century. There was a large bulky old TV, and the patterns on the wardrobe in the bedroom were all old-fashioned.

"Grandma, do you live alone here?" Coralie asked.

"Yes."

The old lady replied and nodded.

"Then, where are your children?"

After Coralie dealt with the wound on her feet, she put the iodine back into the iron box, put on the socks given by the old lady, and then went on to wear the slippers.

"I had a son who used to work on the construction site, but he died because of an accident. He was only in his early twenties when he passed away, and he didn't even leave me a grandchild...." She sighed.

The old lady's eyes were filled with tears when she talked about her son.
