“I don’t think so…” Ian knew that Quincy would not fight Greg over nothing, and saw the red palm print on Greg’s face just then.
He quickly came to a realization. “She found out?”
Not bothering to explain, Greg simply walked past him.
lan was frustrated, but Quincy’s health mattered more at the moment, and quickly returned to his car since he was still holding his car keys. “Take mine.”
Quincy soon regained consciousness at the hospital.
The doctor determined that she had simply passed out from excessive stress, and since it was bad for her heart, the doctor insisted that she not be agitated again.
However, there was no way she could stay calm!
“Mom…” lan began.
“You knew?” Quincy asked before he could finish.
“…Yeah, lan answered feebly.
Quincy’s face turned pale again, and she pointed a trembling finger at lan. “And you didn’t tell me? Do you think what your father is doing is right?!”
“No!” lan quickly explained. “I ran into him at the mall with this woman, but I didn’t say because I didn’t want to affect your health. Of course I know what Dad did was wrong! It’s terrible what he did to you!” Quincy felt better since her son was on her side, at least. However, her temper soon flared again when she noticed that Greg had taken that woman to the mall, and the grief from being betrayed would not have subsided so quickly anyway!
“At the mall?” Quincy leveled a sharp look at Greg. “What did you buy for her?”
Greg glared at his son, thinking how poor he was with words just then.
“Nothing-
“Admit it already!” Quincy had launched a pillow at him before he could finish, hitting him squarely.
Scowling, Grey growled, “Fine, if you’re so interested in knowing, I won’t hide it-I took her to so many stores and bought her so many things. Hell, I spend so much on her because she is young, beautiful, kind, and understanding! She’s a million times better than you. Satisfied?!”
“What… You…”
Quincy was choking!
lan quickly clapped Quincy on the back to ease her breathing. “Come on, Mom. He’s just having a lapse in judgment-he’ll come around.”
However, even if Greg were to break up with that woman right now, Quincy still felt sick to the stomach,
She was too prideful for something like this to happen to her.
But it had already happened, and there was nothing that she could do about it.
Taking deep breaths to calm herself as much as possible, she snapped, “Tell us! Who is that woman?!”
She was certainly eager to see whom she had lost to so utterly.
Bzzt-
While Greg was feeling a little meek just then, his phone started ringing in his pocket.
As both Quincy and lan stared at him, Greg felt annoyed-it was as if he had committed a cardinal sin. He was just having an affair, for goodness’ sake!
“Is it that big of a deal, when a man of my worth has a woman on the side?” he growled before leaving the room.
While Quincy was left at a loss for words, lan was furious with Greg’s behavior as well!
However, he could not leave, since he was worried that Quincy would pass out with no one tending to her. “Don’t worry, Mom. I’m on your side,” he said, giving her hand a squeeze.
He was her only hope now, and she held on tightly to his hand. “You have to do your best with Light Group. That way, I would have one over your dad and don’t have to be given grief. That man really hurt me!
“I know,” lan said, trying his best to assure her.
Meanwhile, Greg headed to the staircase to answer his phone after leaving the ward.
“Didn’t I tell you not to call me unless it’s very important?” He growled, feeling very annoyed just then because of the mess with Quincy.
Nonetheless, Kathy purred from the other end, “I’m pregnant, Greg… I have to tell you because you already have a family, and you definitely wouldn’t want me to keep the baby. Don’t worry-I’m heading to the hospital to get an abortion. I’m young, so I’ll recover soon enough…”
“What…?” Greg thought he was hearing things. “You’re pregnant?”
Before Kathy could answer, he barked, “Stop! Don’t get an abortion-no matter how young you are, an abortion will hurt you. Don’t go to the hospital, just stay put. I’ll come to you!”
“Okay,” Kathy murmured.
After hanging up, Greg promptly dashed past Quincy’s ward without stopping, since he wanted to see Kathy right away.
Quincy saw him, and her heart was left in pieces. “lan, find out who that woman is. I want to know everything about her.”
“I’ll get somebody too-”
“Now!” Quincy snapped, cutting him short.
She was clearly not in control!
It was so obvious that Greg was bewitched, and she wanted to know who that witch was right away!
Ian had to do as he was told right then, and he was certainly efficient-he had been keeping tabs ever since he caught Greg with Kathy at the mall, making things much easier.
And as he passed the dossier on Kathy to Quincy, Quincy’s eyes widened so much they could pop out of their sockets!
Noticing that, lan asked, “Mom, do you know her?”
Quincy chortled icily. “Know her? Hah!”
“What do you mean?”
lan was left confused just then, but Quincy was not about to go into detail.
Getting off her bed, she growled, “I want to see her right now.”
lan did not stop her-it was obvious he could not anyway. lan was weary in spirit. Light Group was a mess, and now his family was too.
He felt as humiliated as he was helpless.
Nonetheless, he drove Quincy to Greg and Kathy’s love nest.
Quincy was repressing her rage to stop herself from flipping out again, but she was failing. Greg’s mistress had to be Kathy, and he even arranged for her to stay in a luxury apartment!
Meanwhile, Greg took Kathy to the hospital for an ultrasound, which only proved that Kathy was pregnant. Greg was certainly pleased–although he already had lan, he thought a single child was not enough and he wanted a daughter.
However, Quincy protested, stating that she would lose her perfect figure with multiple pregnancies, insisting that one son was enough.
Since he was already quite old, he was certainly overjoyed that Kathy had his child. Who else at his age would have an expecting partner?
In fact, he felt young once again to have a child, as he rediscovered passion from Kathy. His life before suddenly seemed to be stale, and he was earnestly happy to be with Kathy in contrast to Quincy’s stern control over him.
Kathy was vibrant and was dependent on him, allowing him to reclaim his masculine dignity.
They returned to her apartment, his arm around her waist, only to find Quincy waiting at the door.
She would have lunged forward and slapped Kathy with murderous intent, but she stayed calm just then.
Violence would not work–she needed to make Greg sick of Kathy, so that he would dump that shameless whore.
“You cheated on me, Greg, and that’s a fact. Divorcing at our age would only make us everyone’s laughing stock… but does it really have to be her? Getting second hand goods only demeans yourself and the family.”
Greg, however, was on cloud nine at the moment–he certainly would not stand for Quincy insulting Kathy, and quickly shot back, “What are you doing here? Can’t you just stay at home?! Also, Kathy has done nothing to you, so stop insulting her… and second hand goods? She’s plenty chaste!”
Kathy smugly pushed herself into his arms like a startled kitten. “Greg, I’m scared…”
Greg put a hand around her shoulder. “It’s fine. I’m here.”
