I heard the door opening as Anne ran out and everyone worriedly ran after her. The door slammed shut with a deafening noise.
Just when I thought Julian would follow her, he pushed open the door and came in. He hugged me from behind and his big hand stroked my belly.
"Scarlett, why can't you just give in to her? Anne is still like a child. You need to be more understanding. Besides, we're having a baby now. Once I've sorted out work, I'll make it up to you with a proper wedding. Don't be mad, alright?"
His voice was unexpectedly gentle, with a hint of coaxing.
"Oh, so you do remember that I'm pregnant?" I pushed his hand away and couldn't help but sneer.
Julian's smile froze as his phone buzzed in his pocket. He picked it up and Sam's voice rang loudly in the quiet room. "Julian, hurry over! Anne fainted on the way here and we still need someone to pay for the hospital fees."
Julian grabbed the bank card we had all been saving from the bedside table without hesitation.
"Are you out of your mind, Julian?" I blocked his way, furious. "You're going to take the money we saved for our baby just to pay for Anne?"
