My Baby’s Daddy

Chapter 62

Chapter 62
“No, Elliot-I want you to go to the hospital with me,” Hayley pouted as she clutched onto Elliot’s sleeve tightly like a child terrified of losing affection.
“I can’t go with you because I still have stuff to do. Be good and let Rèy take you to the hospital,” Elliot cajoled patiently.
“No. I want you to go with me, or I won’t go at all,” she whined stubbornly.
He frowned pensively. Given that she was still in shock after the accident, it made sense for him to take her to the hospital and stay with her throughout the check-up. However, just as he was considering this, Anastasia suddenly snorted. “So don’t go to the hospital then, Hayley. President Presgrave and I still have things to do. Come on, President Presgrave, we have to get going!”
Hayley’s chest rose and fell erratically when she heard this, and she started trembling as she groaned, “I feel dizzy, Elliot!” With that, her eyes rolled to the back of her head and her legs buckled under her. It was only because Elliot moved quickly enough to catch her that she did not collapse onto the ground.
He swept her into his arms and carried her into the backseat of the car, saying, “I’ll get you to the hospital now, Hayley.” He then addressed Anastasia, who stood firmly in place, “Could you get a ride back to the company?”

Anastasia watched as his car sped out of the parking lot, leaving her behind. She heaved a sigh and headed back to the company.
Over at the private hospital that was run by the Presgrave Corporation, Hayley had gone through several tests, and it was concluded that she was fine aside from the shock and the concussion that came with the accident. The doctor also mentioned that she would be fine after a few days’ rest.
Elliot was presently seated by her hospital bed. Taking in the bump on her forehead and her pale face, he consoled her by saying, “Don’t worry, you’ll just have to stay here for a couple of days for observation purposes.”
“Elliot, what were you doing with Anastasia? Were you both going out for work or something?” Hayley asked as she lay demurely in bed, feigning curiosity.
He shook his head. “I was going to bring her to the Presgrave Residence to meet my grandmother.”
Hayley was in shock as she asked, “Why do you want her to meet your grandmother?”
“I was kidnapped once when I was only a child, and it was Anastasia’s mother who sacrificed her life to save mine. My grandma’s been waiting to repay the deed ever since,” Elliot explained frankly.
“What? You were the kid Anastasia’s mother saved back in the day? Anastasia and I were classmates throughout elementary and high school. I heard about how her mother had died while on duty, but I didn’t think you were the person she saved. Her mother was a selfless woman,” Hayley pointed out with admiration. “I’ve always looked up to her mother.”
“Did something happen between you and Anastasia?” Elliot asked curiously. He could tell that Anastasia harbored enmity toward Hayley to the extent that her hatred for the latter was unmistakable.
Hayley had long since thought of an answer, and she lied with a sigh, “Anastasia came to save me once when I was being taken advantage of, but in the end, she ended up getting assaulted instead. She’s been holding it against me ever since.”
“Assaulted?” He blanched at this, wondering if Hayley was perhaps referring to some other kind of assault.
