After She She Stopped Loving Him

Chapter 144

Greg couldn’t hear anything else; it felt like thunder exploded inside his head.

He ran out like a madman, never letting go of his phone, and blurted out the hospital’s address to the driver.

The driver looked freaked out, seeing Greg all beaten up with his face swollen beyond recognition.

Greg’s lips quivered, his voice shaky as he begged, “Please, my wife is in the hospital. I need to see her now.”

Only then did the driver step on the gas.

When they got to the hospital, Greg stumbled as he got out of the car, but he quickly scrambled back to his feet, clutching his stomach and still rushing forward.

But when he got to Megan’s hospital room, his courage deserted him–Greg just stood outside, suddenly terrified to go in.

Just then, Yolanda opened the door and stepped out. Seeing Greg in that sorry state, she paused for a moment and frowned. “Did you go meet those loan sharks again?”

Greg wanted to say he didn’t, but after all the awful things he’d done to Yolanda, he knew she would never believe him, no matter what he said.

Forget Yolanda―for someone like him, not a single sane person out there would ever believe a gambler could turn his life around.

‘Once you get mixed up with loan sharks and gambling,‘ Greg thought to himself, ‘no one’s ever gonna trust a thing you say again. That’s just how it is.‘

‘This is what I deserve, Greg realized bitterly. ‘Guess it’s karma, huh!‘

Greg collapsed onto his knees right there in the hallway, every bit of courage draining out of him. He just couldn’t bring himself to walk through that door.

Yolanda lingered at the doorway, something unreadable flashing in her eyes as she looked back into the hospital room, ignoring Greg completely.

Yolanda finally broke the silence. “I’ve looked into everything. It was Renee Sinclair–Charles’s sister–who forced Megan to lose her baby. Renee’s absolutely ruthless, and her whole Sinclair family shields her no matter what she does. She’s totally unreasonable. If you even try to confront her, she’d destroy you too. In her world, anything that annoys her shouldn’t be allowed to exist at all. I’m scared Megan won’t be able to handle all this, so… when she wakes up, take her back to your hometown and start fresh. I’ll set you two up with enough money to get by.”

Greg suddenly started laughing, his swollen face almost unrecognizable. He collapsed backward onto the floor, shoulders shaking so hard he looked like he’d lost his mind.

Yolanda hesitated—she really didn’t trust a man like Greg with Megan. But still, it’s what Megan wanted, and Yolanda couldn’t go against that, no matter how worried she felt.
