“Dad, I want to rest first. The doctor did prescribe me bed rest." She had to change the topic.
Carlos glared at her.
"Don't try to change the topic."
Debbie chimed in, “Evelyn's health is our top priority. Let her rest first and we can talk about this later. We have to be careful this time. We have to make sure what happened Last time won't happen again."
Upon hearing this, Carlos was taken back to what Evelyn went through before. Calming himself down, he strode towards Evelyn and said, “Okay, okay. Let me help you get to your room." He scooped her up in his arms cautiously.
Evelyn rested her head on Carlos’ chest and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Dad and Mom." Since she found out, she'd been worried that her father would ask her to get an abortion.
Carlos pretended to be angry.
“Don't talk to me now. You're such a worrisome daughter. Why don’t you learn from Terilynn and Matthew? I've never worried about them, you know."
Debbie opened the door to the bedroom for them. Carlos put Evelyn on the bed and tucked her in. After that, he got mad again.
“Call that brat and ask him to come back and take care of his baby!"
Resigned, Evelyn said, “Dad, leave it alone. I'1l tell him." She still had to wait for Sheffield to reply.
Debbie pulled Carlos out of the room and closed the door for Evelyn.
“What should we do?" she asked quietly.
“What else can we do? Ask Dixon to arrange for some nannies and chefs to take care of Evelyn. Matthew and I will deal with the business in our company. She can just stay at home and take care of herself."
“But... what about Sheffield?" Debbie couldn't help but notice Evelyn's hesitance in talking to Sheffield and she couldn't understand why.
“I don't care about him. It's his decision whether he comes back or not. What I'm focused on right now is fulfilling my duty as a grandfather to this baby." Carlos preferred that Evelyn give birth to a girl actually.
"Are you telling me that you're done meddling with Evelyn and
Sheffield's relationship?" Debbie probed.
Carlos nodded as he took out of his phone. Then something occurred to him, "Wait a minute. Why should I? It depends."
“Depends on what? On whether or not you can accept Sheffield? He signed an unfair contract with our company just to prove to Evelyn how sorry he was! He's been nothing but good to her. Why won't you leave them alone?" Debbie was furious.
She didn't know how Matthew had convinced Sheffield to sign the contract because it was completely unfair. It was Sheffield who had developed that drug and rightfully, he should be the one who would profit the most. However, after signing the contract, most of the profits would now belong to Hilton Group.
Even though Carlos knew what Sheffield had done, he still said stubbornly, "Do you think any amount of money could make up what he did to Evelyn? All the harm he caused her? Do you think I need that money?"
Debbie put on a fake smile and waved at Carlos.
"Fine. Forget about what I said. You can do whatever you like. It's none of my business."
Carlos called Dixon and quickly made some arrangements. After getting everything in order, he hung up the phone and stared at Evelyn's bedroom door, deep in thought.
