Chapter 150: Chapter 150: I Just Miss You a Little

Actually, Ryan Sterling had also noticed earlier that her voice sounded off.

But he figured it was the middle of the night back home, so she was probably still half-asleep. It would be normal for her voice to be a bit hoarse.

When Evelyn Grant didn’t say anything, Ryan Sterling grew anxious again.

"It’s okay, take your time. Did something happen again? Is someone giving you trouble?" He paused, then asked tentatively, "Did your mother find something out? Did she scold you?"

"No."

"Then what is it?" Ryan Sterling was so anxious he wished he could fly directly back to Evelyn Grant’s side. "Tell me!"

In front of her, Ryan Sterling couldn’t maintain a shred of composure.

His anxiety was written all over his face.

"N-no, it’s nothing. I just... miss you a little."

’She misses me?’

For a moment, Ryan Sterling didn’t know what to say.

He’d never expected to hear those words.

"I’m really not used to you not being around."

Evelyn Grant gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, barely managing to keep her voice and emotions sounding normal.

"Then I’ll finish up my work here as soon as possible and come back! Wait for me."

"No, don’t. Just focus on your work. We agreed not to disrupt each other’s lives and work."

"Evelyn Grant, you’re the most important person to me! When you say you miss me, it makes me wish I never had to leave your side, not even for a moment."

Even Ryan Sterling himself didn’t know how long he had waited for this moment!

"Mm... I know..."

"I’ll finish everything as soon as possible and wrap up my work here! Don’t worry, I won’t be like those other guys who keep focusing on other things while their wife is pregnant. You and the baby are what’s most important to me."

"..."

"It’s getting really late. You should go to sleep. Don’t stay up, okay?" Ryan Sterling chuckled softly. "It’s the same for me. I miss you, too."

Evelyn Grant didn’t say anything, just silently hung up the phone.

And then...

Tears soaked her pillow, again and again.

In the end, she couldn’t bring herself to tell him about the miscarriage.

...

Julian Sterling waited at the office late into the night. Finally, the man he had sent out came rushing back. "Mr. Sterling, I went and confirmed it! Miss Grant really did have a miscarriage."

"You heard it with your own ears?"

"Yes!"

Julian Sterling was surprised to find that his first reaction wasn’t elation, but rather...

"So how is she? Is she okay? Is her life in danger?"

He was more afraid that Evelyn Grant’s body couldn’t take it, that something would happen to her.

"Um... I didn’t look into that. I just hurried back to report to you."

"Then what are you waiting for? Go! I need to know how she is!"

"Understood, Mr. Sterling."

The man turned to leave, but was stopped again by Julian Sterling.

He caught up to him and added in a low, earnest tone, "Remember, tell the hospital to give Evelyn Grant the best medicine and the best room. I’ll cover the costs, but don’t let her know."

"Yes."

"And be discreet."

Julian Sterling wasn’t doing this to cover anything up. He knew, deep down, that he was doing it because his heart ached for Evelyn Grant more than anything.

Eventually, the truth about the medicine would be traced back to him. Since Julian Sterling had gone through with it, he had already considered the consequences.

But right now, he was more worried about Evelyn Grant’s health.

But Ryan Sterling’s men were everywhere. If he so much as stepped outside, he’d be followed. And if he went anywhere near Evelyn Grant, he’d be under constant surveillance.

There was nothing Julian Sterling could do.

Otherwise, he really wanted to go and be with Evelyn Grant.

He desperately wanted to tell her that they could have a child together, too.
