Chapter 129

I still remember what the doctor once told me, to keep a cool head, try to avoid getting too worked up or anxious to prevent any negative effects on the baby. So after hearing what Russel said, I took a deep breath. Russel, I’m gonna pretend I didn’t hear a single word you just said. I’m pretty sure you’re. running a fever.

I nodded, “Yeah, what brings you here?”

Louis was nothing like Neil and Russel, he was a real chatterbox, can strike up a conversation with anyone, whether he knew them or not.

He explained, “Actually, Neil invested in a project over here, the one I’m working on. We’re partners now. There’s a party nearby tonight, so I came to get some pills for hangover in advance”

“1 see, that’s great.” I responded with a smile, then excused myself, “I have some things to take care of, gotta head home”

“Alright, see you” Louis waved goodbye.

I left the pharmacy only to find my car blocked with cars in front and back and an illegally parked car next to it with no one in it. To make matters worse, the driver didn’t even leave a contact number.

Just as I was getting frustrated, I saw Louis coming out of the pharmacy and heading towards a car across the street. He got in and rolled down the window, and that was when I saw Neil in the driver’s seat.
