CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1406

Mabel hated herself for it now. Why had she been tempted by those small favors from her aunt and gone along with her schemes? Now things had spiraled out of control, and there was no way to fix it.

“I understand. I’ll be there as soon as I can,” Quincy said, ending the call. Turning to Lydia, he asked, “Are you coming with me or would you rather take a cab home?”

“Let’s go together. No point in wasting time discussing it. Just focus on driving,” Lydia replied, quickly fastening her seatbelt.

She wasn’t about to hold grudges against someone critically ill.

When they arrived at the hospital, they rushed to the waiting area outside the operating room. Mabel was pacing in the hallway. The moment she saw them, she seemed to find her footing again. “Quincy, thank goodness you’re here! I was terrified you wouldn’t come.”

“You should be saying that to Lydia. She’s the one who forgave you all,” Quincy pointed out.

Mabel’s face flushed with shame. She bowed deeply to Lydia, apologizing over and over. “I’m so sorry! I really am. Go ahead, hit me if it’ll make you feel better.”

“Forget it,” Lydia sighed. “Just don’t get involved in things like this again. You’re still in school, so focus on your studies.”

She didn’t feel the need to hold anything against Mabel. First, Mabel was still young, barely in college and technically not even an adult yet. Second, it was clear that her grudge was with Mrs. Perez, who was the root of all these troubles. Mabel had simply been a pawn.
