Chapter 1066
Sierra wouldn’t clarify the matter, of course, but she couldn’t explain herself to Zada either. After all, Zada was her strongest pawn, the one she needed to use to take down Halsey.
“I–I…” Sierra stammered, unable to finish her sentence.
Just then, a gentle ringtone sounded. Someone was calling Zada.
Zada pulled out her phone, and Sierra’s sharp eyes immediately caught the caller ID.
It was Halsey.
Zada answered, “Hey, Halsey.”
Since Zada hadn’t put the call on speaker, Sierra couldn’t hear what Halsey was saying.
Zada’s expression instantly changed, and she jumped to her feet. “What did you say? You’re in the hospital?”
Halsey was in the hospital?
Sierra’s heart pounded in her chest.
“Okay. I’m coming right now.” Zada hung up and started moving.
Sierra grabbed her arm. “What’s going on? Did something happen to Halsey?”
Zada’s face was serious. “She’s been experiencing some pain in her abdomen today. She’s already in the hospital, and I need to go see her.”
“I’ll go with you.”
“No, it’s fine. Halsey doesn’t want to see you right now, so I don’t think that’s a good idea. Catch you later.”
Zada left after saying that.
Sierra stayed behind, fuming. There was no way she would miss a moment this dramatic! She had to follow and see what was going on with Halsey.
Half an hour later, Sierra arrived at the hospital. She approached a nurse and asked, “Excuse me, do you know which room Halsey Mallin is in?”
The nurse looked at her. “What’s your relationship to the patient?”
“I’m a good friend of hers. We’re classmates.”
The nurse pointed ahead. “She’s in the VIP room over there. Go ahead.”
“Thank you.”
Sierra said goodbye to the nurse and quietly moved to the VIP room. She didn’t knock, just peeked through the
door.
Inside, Halsey sat on the hospital bed, wearing a patient gown and looking completely drained.
Zada was sitting beside her. “Why did you end up in the hospital?”
Halsey looked pale. “I had another fight with Shaun last night. After he left, my stomach hurt, so I came here.”
Zada frowned. “You argued with Mr. Lane again?”
Halsey sighed. “I just feel so upset, so heartbroken, so hurt. Do you know how it feels? I just…”
Zada immediately pulled her into a comforting hug. “It’s okay. We’ll get through this together.”
From her angle, Sierra could see the tears sliding down Halsey’s face.
Halsey choked up. “I can’t believe we got to this point. I really wanted to spend my whole life with him, growing old together.”
Zada squeezed her gently. “I know, I know.”
Halsey cried for a while. Then, Zada asked, “You haven’t eaten yet, have you? I’ll go home and make some soup for you right now.”
Halsey shook her head. “I don’t feel like eating.”
Zada gave her a small, firm smile. “You’re pregnant. Even if you don’t want to eat, your baby needs to. For your baby’s sake, at least eat a little. And you know I’m a great cook!”
Halsey hesitated, then nodded weakly. “Okay… Thank you.”
Zada grinned. “No need to thank me. We’re best friends. Get some rest. I’ll go home, make the soup, and be right back.”
