Chapter 124

“Doris, don’t let her fool you, Lola warned, tugging at Doris‘ arm to stop her.

Doris‘ face remained icy. “She’s pregnant. I don’t care if it costs grand or not–if something, happens, we can’t afford to be

careless.”

Lola glanced at Claudia’s flat stomach. There was no sign she was pregnant.

“It’s fine. You didn’t know she was pregnant, so it’s not your fault, Doris reassured her, giving her hand a squeeze. “I’ll go with her to the hospital. You take care of the shop”

Soon, the ambulance arrived and took Claudia away. As a family member, Doris went with her.

On the way to the hospital, Doris called Rupert and told him to meet them there.

Lola, worried that Doris might be at a disadvantage alone, decided to inform Lewis.

She didn’t have Lewis‘ contact information, but she had Ivan’s WhatsApp. Through his profile, she found his phone number.

Lola called Ivan, “Mr. Mitchell, can you let Mr. Hartman know that Doris is at the hospital?”

“Of course. What happened to her?” Ivan asked with concern.

“She’s fine. I just don’t want her to be alone in this situation.” Lola quickly explained what had happened at the shop. “Right now, she needs someone on her side. Mr. Hartman is the best person for that.

“Got it. I’ll let him know.” After a pause, Ivan added, “Ms. Bates, thank you.”

“Why thank me? Doris is my best friend, and I can’t stand those scumbags in her family, clinging to her like leeches,” Lola said indignantly.

“If you want to thank me, why not come to my shop for coffee more often and take care of our business.” Lola had her own scheme in mind.

“Sure,” Ivan agreed readily.
