Chapter 472 – An Unbreakable Vow with the Heartless Tycoon

Leilani forgot to breathe. It seemed at the exact moment, a lightning came from the cloudy sky, and everything was blank, and so was her brain.

She came back after a while.

“Why do you have the drug?”

“I also sent men to search for James’s bedroom that night.”

Waylen stared at Leilani with a crimson look. Leilani’s face, which was always cool, frozen for seconds, and changed from shock to disappointment, coming to a complication he couldn’t understand.

Waylen had his eyebrows locked. Did Leilani care for the drug more than he imagined?

Leilani did have a complex feeling. So she didn’t notice how Waylen was studying her micro-expressions. She thought of Diana’s last words at the hospital, regarding how she thanked Waylen for the drug.

She then thought of a question she once asked Waylen: there was a drug in Cambola City that was cooked for more than a hundred years, they said it could cure any illness. If she and Dinan were both fatally ill, who would Waylen give the drugs to?

Waylen’s answer was Leilani.

When a hypothetical question became a reality, Leilani’s guts told her Waylen wanted to give her the drug. But something went wrong, or else he wouldn’t bring her here.

To think Waylen once gasped the chance to change her life and lost it, Leilani feel extreme pain.

“Why do you think of giving it to me until now? Do you know how important it is to me? You know I’ve been looking for it, and you could have given it to me a hundred times from when you had it, why do you wait till now?”

Leilani was sitting on pins and needles due to the time bomb, the new poison, buried in her body. She once suspected Rebecca had it. But she didn’t expect she was so close to it. She could just ask for it…

But it was a great shame that she missed it when she could reach it.

“Why is the drug so important to you?” This is the question Waylen’s was struggling with. Leilani never told him why she needed it so badly. She rarely has such a strong desire for almost anything.

“Is the question important now? You knew how much I wanted to have it, but you waited until now to tell me you had it.”

If Waylen gave her earlier, what happened today might have been prevented.

“What are you hiding from me?”

Waylen suddenly grabbed Leilani’s shoulder, who got a bit out of control. He could feel her body trembling. Waylen was desperate for the answer and used more force on his fingers.

“Tell me, what are you not telling me?”

Leilani closed her eyelids heavily. She took a deep breath and looked up again later.

“Is there a connection? Do I need reasons every time I ask for something from you? Do I have to trade everything with a reason? If I told you there was no reason, wouldn’t you give me what I want?”

“I know I don’t mean it. I’m just afraid you’re hiding something from me.”

Leilani suddenly sneered. Her smile was cold. She stared at Waylen, “What if I told you I might die without it?”

Leilani’s words turned into a sharp knife, piercing from Waylen’s ears to his heart. He shook his head, not believing what he heard. He couldn’t allow it.

Waylen grabbed Leilani’s shoulder so tightly in case she was gone the next second.

He pulled her in his arms to make her a part of himself, “What nonsense are you talking about?

Leilani pushed Waylen off. She said seriously, “I mean it.”

Waylen stepped back suddenly. He slightly frowned and picked up the landline, “Get me the doctor with the most authority in B Country.”

“Do you want me to get a physical?” Leilani guessed his intentions and trembled. But she was relieved soon. She knew the doctor probably wouldn’t detect it. Even if they did, it might not be a bad thing.

She had harbored this secret too long and couldn’t bear it.

Sharing is better than keeping it to herself. She’d rather Waylen find out, thinking of which, Leilani nodded. She played along the way she never did.

All the eminent western doctors and traditional herbal medicine specialists were brought to the castle as fast as they could. They brought with them equipment for a physical, including for tests.

“Mrs. Bamford’s blood pressure is normal. She doesn’t have high blood sugar during pregnancy.”

“Blood pressure is normal. Heartbeat is a little fast, but it’s normal.”

“Blood test is normal. She doesn’t have anemia. She lacks mineral zinc. It can be supplemented through everyday dietary.”

“On all accounts, Mrs. Bamford is healthy.”

After hearing the report, one doctor heard the question trembling by Waylen. Then he gave Waylen an odd look, “Mrs. Bamford is perfectly healthy. There’s nothing suggesting otherwise. Maybe she has lots of pressure during the pregnancy. The bad feelings cause anxiety…”

“Are you saying I have antenatal anxiety?” Leilani walked to them quietly. She happened to hear the conversation and got mad, “Waylen, you’re the one with it!”

The doctor took a great amount of Leilani’s blood for testing. She pressed the cotton swab on her vein and threw it in the bin. She knew they couldn’t test it. She gave Waylen a taunting look, “so, the result’s back. Don’t you trust me?”

“Mrs. Bamford, you don’t have to think too much. If you do, the baby…”

“Who allows you to talk?” Leilani glared at Tinder, which shocked him. He stepped back.

This was Waylen’s birthday. Everything was fine until now. Tinder didn’t know why it would turn into this.

Waylen walked to Leilani, and she dodged him. She felt she was a psychopath to him.

“Are you anxious because I told you I didn’t like it?”

Waylen stared at Leilani’s belly. The “it” referred to the baby.

“I’m not. You’re the one having it,” Leilani shook her head, thinking it was Waylen that got anxiety and sighed, “forget it, I know you wouldn’t believe me.”

The next second, Leilani was hugged from behind her back. It was warm.

“Call Miss Summer and send a search crew there.”

This was to Robert. Leilani didn’t know why he wanted to phone Diana. But she couldn’t leave with him hugging her.

The phone rang once and was answered.

“Waylen?”

Diana’s voice had a suppressed delight. She didn’t sound ill at all. Her voice was sweet and lively. It was like she was on a joyful time traveling.

“The drug-did you take it?”

Diana was frozen and answered—

Diana froze for a bit. And she hummed gently with tiny shyness.

“The drugs work wonders. When I did the test tonight, the doctor said my healing was shockingly fast. Waylen, thank you–“

Waylen hung up.

He didn’t wait for Diana to finish but threw the phone away.

Leilani sneered. Without the drug, Diana could do with LAD. But without the drug, she could die.

This was destiny.

Maybe she had no one to blame but destiny.

Leilani took off Waylen’s hands, but Waylen kept hugging her, “where are you going?”

“Anywhere but here. Waylen, I feel terrible. Leave me alone.”

Diana used to live here. She used to be the one Waylen cared for. Now she took the drug that was meant for her.

Whether it was by chance, Leilani felt this place suffocating.

Especially she felt awful about how Waylen didn’t give her the drugs sooner. She was depressed.

Leilani felt the pressure on her waist gone. Waylen finally got off her.

Leilani didn’t waste a second to get out. The driver pulled open the door for her. She went in immediately. She didn’t know where she should go and asked the driver to take her to the presidential house.

Followed by Waylen and his security team, Leilani got off at the presidential house.

Olivia was arranging flowers in the living room. She held one rose and cut its branch in a tilting angle. She heard the car, put down the rose, and went outside to check.

She saw Leilani entering from afar, “Leilani, you’re back.”

“Em,” Leilani answered and hurried upstairs. Soon she shut the door.

Waylen followed her to come in. Olivia gave him a look. They normally couldn’t get hands off each other. Now Leilani came in first and Waylen later. She didn’t have to ask to know they argued.

“Sir… should we call a therapist to talk to Mrs. Bamford?”

“What are you waiting for? Hurry!”

Erin Darling was called. She got the situation fast because Leilani talked to her about Waylen.

“Where do you feel wrong? Mr. Bamford?”

Waylen was getting upset, “Didn’t you fill her in?”

Tinder then told Erin what happened in embarrassment. Erin then understood the situation. What was wrong with the couple? Were they both anxious because the due date was near? Or was the anxiety infectious?

“I’ll talk to Leilani.”

Eric heads upstairs led by the maid. But she knocked on the door several times, and Leilani said she wanted to be alone.

Erin didn’t know what to do.

“Everyone has a unique way to destress. Maybe Leilani just needs to be alone…”

Waylen started pacing around in front of Leilani’s room. He didn’t get it why Leilani was so upset about the drugs. Her worries were completely made-up.

Waylen banged on the door several times because he worried about her.

“Open the door! Leilani, I order you to open it!”

Leilani shut herself in the door and wouldn’t let anyone in. She really needed to adjust her feelings.
