Chapter 499 Help Me, Please!
Nora and Rose just finished their video call. They talked about some of each other's recent life status, and some things when they were young, only to feel how time flied. They were once both little girls. But now, they were both mothers.
Since Anika, Alan's mother, moved to Springhill Villa, Nora's daily life seemed to be full and regular.
Anika would get Nora up at 9:00 a.m. for a nutritious breakfast, then go for a walk, and prepare fresh fruit for her around 10:30.
At noon, she also prepared meals suitable for pregnant women for Nora. Then, Nora would take a nap after lunch. In the afternoon, there were classes for new mothers and yoga classes for pregnant women, once a week.
Originally, Anika had intended to invite private teachers to teach at home. But Nora didn't want to stay at home every day and couldn't go anywhere. So, she enrolled in these classes on the premise of going to the class outside.
Nora also wanted to take this opportunity to get some fresh air, not to stay at home. She felt like she was too bored.
Nora knew Anika did this for her own good. But she didn't want to be in control of her life and be set up to live it.
She respected Anika. But there were some issues of principle that she couldn't compromise on, and she was straightforward about it.
Although Anika would be a little unhappy, Nora was very firm. Besides, Alan would also speak for Nora. So, she had no choice but to compromise.
Nora looked at the time. It was time for the new mother's class today. She needed to leave at 2:30 p.m.
She could still sleep for a while. She was more sleepy than usual because of her pregnancy.
She hadn't had a chance to meet Oca or think about it much during the time she stayed at home.
Nora was in a daze when she was woken up by the ring of her mobile phone. She fumbled for it and glanced. It was an unfamiliar number.
She picked it up anyway. Her voice was a little hoarse because she just woke up, "Hello?"
"Ms. Nora, it's me ... Lillian," the voice on the other side was scared and shaking.
As soon as Nora heard her name, she was not sleepy at all, sat up, and leaned over the bed, "What can I do for you?"
"Ms. Nora, please ... please, help me." Lillian begged in a low voice and tried to suppress the sobs.
"What happened?" Nora asked her.
"Ms. Nora, can I see you? There are some things I want to say to you in person." Asked by Nora in this way, Lillian cried louder.
"Lillian, I don't think it's necessary." After what happened last time, Nora was more cautious. After all, she was no longer alone now. She was pregnant and had a baby. She needed to be more careful.
"Ms. Nora, I know I did something wrong to you. So, you will no longer trust me. I did not listen to your advice to use legal means to deal with Nathan. Now, I am in this situation. I deserve it... Ms. Nora, please give me a chance. I will do everything you say this time and cooperate. I want Nathan to pay the price!" Lillian gritted her teeth. It could be seen how much she hated Nathan.
"The last time I left, you said that as long as I thought clearly, I could look for you at any time. Ms. Nora, no one can help me except you now. This time, I am ready to risk everything, even my life, to let
Nathan die!"
Nora felt clearly that Lillian did not pretend it.
It seemed that something bad happened between Lillian and Nathan again, which forced her to make such a choice.
"OK." Nora agreed, "We will meet at the villa by the sea last time. Where are you? I'll have my driver pick you up. But you may wait for me some more time. I might not be there until five or six."
"Ms. Nora, I'd appreciate it if you can come. Thank you..." Lillian bit her lip, tears falling down. She clutched the phone in her hand, as if she was grabbing a lifeline. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Nora looked at the time. It was time to pack up and go to class.
Nora changed her outfit. She was wearing a high-collared undergarment, a black round-necked long coat, a thin black belt, and a pair of black pants.
Nora's weight had not changed at all, although she had been pregnant more than two months. Her belly was still flat.
Recently, she was in a good mood and looked good. She didn't look pregnant at all.
She picked up Herm pink platinum bag in her hand. The color of the bag looked vivid, which was a special color in her dark color clothes and made her look pink and young.
She had just come downstairs when Anika walked to the stairway, "The driver is ready."
"OK." Nora and Anika walked together to the door. Nora put on her black boots. She always loved to wear high heels, but had to choose to wear flat ones now.
They went together to the most upscale new mother's class, where all those who studied here were rich and famous.
They took a class of five, which was what Nora insisted on. She did not want to have a one-on-one class.
"Mom, you don't have to stay here with me. You can go shopping." Nora thought this kind of class was really boring. But there was a lot she did need to know to be a mother.
"I'll study with you." Anika accompanied her every time. It wouldn't waste the money they spent.
The study time was 90 minutes, divided into two classes.
In the last class, she learned about holding. Today, she was learning about breastfeeding. She had not only to listen, but also to learn by hand.
Nora also studied seriously. She recalled the knowledge of holding last time, carefully held the prop baby in her arms, consolidating her memory under the guidance of the teacher.
After the class, Nora said directly to Anika, "Mom, I have an appointment with Alan. So, I won't go back to have dinner with you today."
She had sent a message to Alan when she went to the bathroom just now, asking him to help her.
Before Anika could say anything, Alan's call came at the right time, "Mom, I'm coming to pick up Nora. Today is our anniversary and I have a surprise for her."
"Then you take care of Nora." When Anika heard Alan say that, she couldn't say anything else.
She waited until Alan drove to pick up Nora and gave him a few more instructions before leaving.
Once Anika left, Alan and Nora both breathed a sigh of relief.
He asked Nora, "Where are you going? I'll give you a ride."
"I can go by myself. But you may have to find a place to stay first." Nora didn't want Alan to know about it.
"Where do you want me to stay? Aren't you afraid I'll be found out?" Alan raised his eyebrows, "I'll send you there, and wait for you in the car."
In that case, Nora had to agree.
Alan navigated to the villa by the sea according to the address Nora said.
