Chapter 108 The Pregnancy Report
Lia stood up, dusting off her pants. "Why would | keep working when | can get paid for doing nothing? There's no
way | can stand working with you even one more day. Pay the penalty, and that's it. See you or rather, never see
you again." Watching her storm off, Leonard closed his eyes with an exasperated i
d'expression. "What a mess..."
That evening, when Bella finished work, Lia was already waiting outside the hospital.

Bellashook her head. "How would | know?"
Through gritted teeth, Lia said, "It's Leonard! He wanted to terminate the contract because of last night-just to
get back atfor insulting him! But it's okay now. He doubled the penalty fee, so I'm not losing out.
*Plus, | don't have to do his order anymore. The money cthrough this afternoon. Let's go I'll treat you and
my stuteam to a great dinner to celebrate after all these hand weeks!"
Bella was still trying to make sense of it all. "Wait, you're saying the other party is Leonard? How could it be
him?"
Lia shrugged, not bothering to dwell on it. "How should | know? Maybe the just happened to need sculptures and
found out through you that | make them. What's there to figure out?"
Bella, always practical, said, "I don't think | ever mentioned you to him. Even though Leonard and aren't super
close, we know each other well enough. Anyway, now that this is behind us, you two should let it go. It's better to
make friends than enemies,"
Lia scoffed. "Who wants to be trends with him? Just because | don't get along with him doesn't mean it'll affect
your relationship. Besides having money and being good-lecking, he has nothing special. My opinion stands.
Enough of that. Let's go eat!" Bella hesitated, then warned her softly, "Li, Leonard's not someone you should
cross To put it bluntly, he's ruthless. Not just him-the whole Sawyer family is like that. So, it's best to leave things
as they are and not provoke him further." Flammed on the brakes, "Are you serious? Why didn't you tellthis
sooner? | wiped my tears on his suit this moming and cursed him out! Do you think it's too late to apologize?"
Bella sighed. "Forget it. I'm more worried that you two will fight again if you apologize. Just let it go."
That night, as Lia lay in bed, she still clutched her phone, feeling uneasy. "Are you sure | don't need to call
Leonard and apologize? | promise I'll be sincero. I'm scared he'll cafter me... I'm afraid of dying......."
Bella, exhausted, replied, "You're the one who's scaringright now, | already told you it's fine. If you're
worried, I'll talk to him for you. I've operated on his dad before, so his family owessrespect. | know him
well enough.”
Lia nodded eagerly. "Please make sure to tell him, then. Helppass on my apology and make sure it's sincere.
You should've toldearlier. What if | die because of this? How could you let that happen?"
On the verge of falling asleep, Bella muttered, "I'm not ready for you to die yet. But if you continue like this, |
might just be okay with it,"

Lia finally quieted down, and peace retumed.
The next day, Bella had surgery scheduled early, so she arrived at the hospital before dawn
After the surgery, she stepped out of the operating room and saw the one pers
person she least wanted to run into-Amber.
Bella had no intention of acknowledging her and walked away, expressionless.
But Amber called out to her, "Ignoringwon't make you feel any better."
Bella stopped in her tracks. "What do you want?
She caught a glimpse of the document in Amber's hand from the comers of her eyes. Her heart sank as she saw
the words clearly-"Pregnancy Report".
