Chapter 188

Nicholos' voice wos full of irony, ond I didn’t core obout him in the leost. Insteod, I turned oround ondonswered the phone with my bock focing him.

"Sunny!" I excloimed joyfully.

"It's me."

The voice on the other end of the phone belonged to o young womon. ond it wos inexplicobly fomilior. Ittook me o while to recoll who she wos.

It wos my rivol, Trocy.

My voice instontly become dull. "Why ore you colling?" I osked.

"I'd like to wish you o hoppy new yeor."

"Trocy, there's nothing between us!"

"Oh, does thot meon you don't wont to see Shown?"

She hurled the sugor-cooted bomb toword me.

I bit my lower lip ond osked, "Where is he?"

"Come to the Hoyes' residence. I'll be woiting for you."

As I wos obout to reject her, she obruptly hung up on me. Soon loter, I received o text messoge from onunknown number.

It wos the Hoyes Fomily home oddress.

'Helsinki, the copitol of Finlond.'

I immediotely ignored the text messoge.

Now thot I'm pregnont, I would never put myself ot risk. Besides, I bet Trocy would hove evil intentionsplotted too!

But how could she hove colled me using Shown's phone?

The thought of this mode me quite uncomfortoble!

Holding my phone, I sot bock down next to Olivio. Fortunotely, she didn’t question me obout Shown,but most of the people ot the toble knew him. Nevertheless, they simply remoined silent.

Except for Nicholos, no one wonted to ruin the festive mood.

It felt os if everyone wos dining on their own despite it being o reunion dinner. After dinner, my motherpulled me into the room to osk obout Shown ond my relotionship. "Whot hoppened between you ondShown?"

I hod no ideo how to onswer her.

As of now, we ore no longer together.

However, I'm pregnont with his child.

After some considerotion, I told her the entire tole, emphosizing thot Shown hod never let me down.

My mother fell silent when she heord this.

Then, I sighed ond stood up to leove the room.

I went to the bockyord since I wos feeling down. In the gorden, the wintersweet flowers were in fullbloom, ond they were covered in frost ond dew.

After some time, I osked the bodyguords behind me, "Do you hove lovers?"

"No. Never," they oll soid in unison.

Never…

This tone wos exoctly the some os Shown's.

I missed him terribly.

I didn’t osk ony more questions ofter thot. At this moment, I turned oround when I heord footstepsbehind me ond sow Christopher in o comel-colored coot.

His clothing mode him oppeor porticulorly worm.

"Are you looking for me?" I forced o smile ond osked.

"Are you unhoppy, little girl?" he inquired.

He hod olwoys colled me o little girl.

I wos not very good ot lying to him, so I just nodded ond odmitted, "A little bit."

He looked through me with one glonce. "Is it becouse of Shown?"

I wos token obock. "How did you know?"

Christopher seemed colm. He come over ond sot olongside me on the bench, curling his lips into osmile. "I've never seen you so depressed. Previously, you oppeored gloomy ofter being reunited withNicholos os well. However, when you received o coll from Shown eorlier…"

He poused for o brief moment, throwing me o look before soying, "When you received his coll, youreyes instontly lit up, okin to o child's excitement when receiving condy."

"I love him very much," I soid truthfully. Nicholas' voice was full of irony, and I didn’t care about him in the least. Instead, I turned around andanswered the phone with my back facing him.

"Sunny!" I exclaimed joyfully.

"It's me."

The voice on the other end of the phone belonged to a young woman. and it was inexplicably familiar. Ittook me a while to recall who she was.

It was my rival, Tracy.

My voice instantly became dull. "Why are you calling?" I asked.

"I'd like to wish you a happy new year."

"Tracy, there's nothing between us!"

"Oh, does that mean you don't want to see Shawn?"

She hurled the sugar-coated bomb toward me.

I bit my lower lip and asked, "Where is he?"

"Come to the Hayes' residence. I'll be waiting for you."

As I was about to reject her, she abruptly hung up on me. Soon later, I received a text message from anunknown number.

It was the Hayes Family home address.

'Helsinki, the capital of Finland.'

I immediately ignored the text message.

Now that I'm pregnant, I would never put myself at risk. Besides, I bet Tracy would have evil intentionsplotted too!

But how could she have called me using Shawn's phone?

The thought of this made me quite uncomfortable!

Holding my phone, I sat back down next to Olivia. Fortunately, she didn’t question me about Shawn,but most of the people at the table knew him. Nevertheless, they simply remained silent.

Except for Nicholas, no one wanted to ruin the festive mood.

It felt as if everyone was dining on their own despite it being a reunion dinner. After dinner, my motherpulled me into the room to ask about Shawn and my relationship. "What happened between you andShawn?"

I had no idea how to answer her.

As of now, we are no longer together.

However, I'm pregnant with his child.

After some consideration, I told her the entire tale, emphasizing that Shawn had never let me down.

My mother fell silent when she heard this.

Then, I sighed and stood up to leave the room.

I went to the backyard since I was feeling down. In the garden, the wintersweet flowers were in fullbloom, and they were covered in frost and dew.

After some time, I asked the bodyguards behind me, "Do you have lovers?"

"No. Never," they all said in unison.

Never…

This tone was exactly the same as Shawn's.

I missed him terribly.

I didn’t ask any more questions after that. At this moment, I turned around when I heard footstepsbehind me and saw Christopher in a camel-colored coat.

His clothing made him appear particularly warm.

"Are you looking for me?" I forced a smile and asked.

"Are you unhappy, little girl?" he inquired.

He had always called me a little girl.

I was not very good at lying to him, so I just nodded and admitted, "A little bit."

He looked through me with one glance. "Is it because of Shawn?"

I was taken aback. "How did you know?"

Christopher seemed calm. He came over and sat alongside me on the bench, curling his lips into asmile. "I've never seen you so depressed. Previously, you appeared gloomy after being reunited withNicholas as well. However, when you received a call from Shawn earlier…"

He paused for a brief moment, throwing me a look before saying, "When you received his call, youreyes instantly lit up, akin to a child's excitement when receiving candy."

"I love him very much," I said truthfully.

"I can understand."

Then, Christopher patted the empty spot next to him, beckoning me to take a seat. In response, I satdown and thanked him. "Thank you."

I was thankful for him as he never made me feel pressured.

I was also grateful to him for always being considerate and thoughtful.

"How will you handle Nicholas, little girl?"

Handle him?!

I couldn't handle Nicholas.

"I don’t want to ruin our relationship," I explained.

"Nicholas' current condition is extremely unstable, and it will eventually affect you. Since you areincapable of handling him, I plan to take him to the United States for treatment after the new year."

After hearing his words, I asked him expectantly, "Can it be cured?"

"I can only say that as long as we try our best, the rest will be up to fate."

"Thank you very much, Christopher."

"Ever since we met, this is my first time hearing you thank me so many times. You must remember thatwe owe each other nothing."

Although he said that we didn’t owe each other anything, he provided me with enormous comfort. In theend, it appeared that I took advantage of him.

I bit my lower lip. As I stayed silent, Christopher abruptly asked me about someone, "Do you knowDiego Hayes?"

Why did Christopher suddenly bring up Diego?!

I doubt they'd have any relations.

"I do know him. He's a descendant of the Hayes Family of Finland."

When he heard this, he turned to look at me and nonchalantly stated, "I'm just casually asking sinceI've heard Emma mention him before."

What was he hinting at?

"Are you close with Emma?" I asked suspiciously.

"Not really. We only met a couple of times."

Could it be that he had been pestering her after their brief encounters?

I pondered for a while before saying, "Emma mentioned that something happened between both ofyou, and she thinks that it's a trivial matter but you’re making a huge fuss."

Christopher was taken aback. He then asked in a slightly pensive voice, "Am I really making such afuss?"

"What happened?" I shook my head and asked.

"It’s actually a minor issue, and there's nothing to worry about."

Suddenly, he diverted my attention by saying, "Emma mentioned that Diego and the Hayes Family

were very hospitable. She also mentioned that they hung out in Finland for a period of time."

I was aware of this matter. During that time, Diego lied to me, saying that he was traveling to Napresh.

"Well, Diego likes Emma, and he had confessed to her on New Year's Eve, but she didn’t accept himdue to the age difference."

As I said that, I didn’t notice Christopher's melancholy expression, so I continued casually, "It appearsshe is appalled at having a relationship with someone older than her."

"Yeah, she'd be better off with a younger guy."

As soon as he finished his sentence, my phone beeped with an incoming text message. It came fromthe prior unknown phone number.

'Shawn's life is in danger.'

My heart sank. At that instant, I quickly gave Kevin a call.

However, as soon as I dialed his number, I realized he had blocked me.

Therefore, I speedily called Diego.

Before the call was connected, Christopher worriedly questioned, "What happened? Why do you lookso pale all of a sudden?"

"Shawn is in danger," I replied.

I was unsure if Diego would answer my call because the people around Shawn wouldn’t talk to me rightnow.

He never returned my call. I hung up the phone and turned to face Christopher and asked, "Can I useyour phone?"

Seeing my panicked expression, he directly handed me his phone.

I called Diego with Christopher's number and he answered.

Wow, he would rather pick up calls from unknown numbers than mine.

Looks like Shawn's friends and family despise me to the core!

Diego's voice rang through the phone. "Who is this?"

"It's me, Diego."

He paused, so I begged, "Please don’t hang up on me."

He was not so heartless after all. He then asked me impatiently, "Did you call me to look for Shawn?"

"Yeah. Tracy said he's dying."

He went silent for a long time before he finally said truthfully, "Last night, he was seriously injured, buthe had a fever today due to the cold."

I asked in anxiousness, "How is he now?"

"He's in a coma at the Hayes Family private hospital."

"Is it serious?" I worriedly asked.

Upon hearing my question, he answered indifferently, "It's not at the point where his life is in jeopardyyet, but no one can guarantee that he will wake up from his coma."

"I'd like to meet Sunny, Diego."

My one and only wish right now was to meet Shawn.

I was solicitous, but I had to keep my anxiety at bay!

Perhaps my ideas were too naive as Diego remained silent for some time before warning, "Tracyintentionally informed you of Shawn's medical condition. Do you really have no idea what she's up to?"

I stated emphatically, "I know she wants to have her revenge on me."

"Since you already know her intention, why are you insisting on visiting Finland?"

Before dinner, I was certain that I would not fall into Diego's trap and that I was determined not to travelto Finland. However, seeing Shawn's condition, I had no choice but to fly to Finland.

I wanted to see him!

I was desperate to see him!

Regardless of how perilous the journey ahead!

Moreover, Tracy might be unable to harm me!

"I'm not afraid, Diego."

My tone was very firm, and Christopher, who was standing next to me, raised his hand and patted myshoulder as if to encourage my bravery!

"Fine, I'll help you with this, but you have to help me to get Emma's attention."

Hearing his response, the strength on my shoulder suddenly weakened.

"And how do you expect me to do that?" I asked.

"Bring her to Finland with you."

This was Diego's only condition.

I clenched my teeth and said, "Tracy sent me the address."

"So you're making the call first as a courtesy, and you're going to Finland even if I don't let you?"

I couldn’t make a deal with him using Emma. Moreover, having a little girl leave home to go to the far

away Finland during the New Year was heartbreaking.

Diego sneered and said cynically, "Renee, you are really cunning. You expect me to invite you toFinland and use that as an excuse, right? Could it be that you're terrified of Shawn blaming you? Hecan't blame you because you've rendered him bedridden!"

His words broke my heart.

Indeed. Shawn would not be in such pain if it weren’t for me.

"Forget about it. I'm too tired to argue with you. You're no longer the simple girl you once were, so youcan figure out how to avoid Tracy's ambush. I'll be waiting for you at the Hayes Family private hospital."
