Chapter 309 The Extra Existence

"Don't worry too much. Since the doctor said that she was out of danger, she should be fine." Essie comforted Zac. She knew that Leila was very important to him, and now she was injured in order to save Rabi. Zac must be very distressed and worried.

"If Rabi wants to go out in the future, he must have bodyguards with him." Zac's eyes were dark and deep. Such a thing could never happen a second time.

Essie nodded, "tonight, I'll go to sleep with Rabi. If children are frightened in the daytime, it's easy for them to have nightmares at night."

Zac raised the corner of his mouth and put his hand on her shoulder. "Silly fool, I find that you know well how to take care of children. Where did you learn these experiences?"

Essie's dark eyes flashed, "well... My neighbor in the United States has several children, and I often go to help take care of them. " She faltered.

"If only our child were still alive." Zac's eyes became extremely dim, as if they were blackened by the night outside the window. The loss of his child was a deep, incurable pain in his heart. He moved his hand down and put it on her abdomen. "Let's have another child. You will be a good mother and I will be a good father."

Her heart was like a plucked string, trembling slightly. They were no longer possible to get back together, let alone have children. "Nonsense, we have child, and Rabi is our child." She said in a low voice, with a bitter taste spreading from the tip of her tongue all the way to her throat and to her heart.

"But he's not..." He sighed, "if the child was still alive, you wouldn't have left me, would you?"

Essie didn't answer. She left because of her resentment with Mary, and her disappointment with him had nothing to do with the child.

"Let bygones be bygones."

There was a bitter smile on the corner of Zac's mouth. He wanted to turn over the story, but it seemed that the knot in her heart had not been solved, and she was still indifferent to him. If she was not still entangled with the past, or she could not forget Hanson in her mind.

He hoped the reason would be former because the former problem could at least be solved. If the latter was the case, it only meant that he was too failed.

"I'll go to see Rabi." In his silence, Essie went out. Her heart was in a mess. Since she returned to Dragon City and met him again, her heart had never been peaceful again.

On the early morning of the second day, Zac received a call from Leila. Leila was awake, but she was very excited because she was blind and couldn't see.

Zac and Essie rushed to the hospital together.

Leila's parents were all in the ward.

Leila covered her head with a quilt and kept sobbing. The doctor examined her and found that her head was hit in the car accident. The residual blood clot pressed the visual nerve, which led to blindness.

"Leila, don't worry. After you recover, the doctor will arrange an eye operation for you. As long as the congestion is removed, you can see the world." Leila's mother comforted her daughter.

Zac walked to the bedside and slowly pulled down the quilt to let her tearful face show. "Leila, don't b

just need one child. One belongs to us. I will protect it this time."

She trembled slightly, and a little bit of light streaked across her face: "what if I give birth to twins by accident?"

"Will we be so lucky?" He lowered his head and smiled as if he thought she was joking.

It's really so easy to get twins. The corner of her mouth slightly raised. When she did the B-ultrasound for the first time in New York, the doctor told her that there were two babies in her stomach. She was so happy that she wanted to call him and let him share the joy.

Unfortunately, she couldn't.

"Let's go. I love spicy crabs the most." She decided to end the topic as soon as possible, in case she accidentally said something wrong.

"Okay, I'll satisfy you, little greedy." Zac smiled and drove to South Gate Street.

In the next few days, Zac didn't show up. Essie knew that he was taking care of Leila in the hospital. Essie knew that Leila was the most important in his heart, and she was the second. Of course, he knew it clearly too.

It didn't matter to her whether he was there or not. It was better if he wasn't there. She was happy to be free.

Although sometimes it was a little boring, she chose to ignore it completely.

In the evening, Walt called. He happened to pass by the Hengyuan building and wanted to ask if she was free to have dinner together. Essie was still working. She was reading a book on project cost in the office. She had a lot of questions. Thinking that she could just ask him, she walked out of the office.

The two went to the Michelin five star Italy restaurant not far away from the Hengyuan building. Walt ordered seafood pizza, Florence steak, Naples roasted lobster, Barry turtle, and Miguel macaroni...

Essie found that they were all her favorite food. It seemed that Walt knew her taste well and that she was a meat eating animal.

"I didn't order the wrong dishes, did I?" He raised the corner of his mouth.

Essie nodded wildly, "it's all my favorite food."

"I know." He casually uttered three words, which made her stunned. "How do you know?"
