Chapter 71.
“Vana?”
Armando frowned and looked around the hospital room, but didn’t see a single person.
He couldn’t help but start to worry, took out his phone and got ready to call her.
At that moment, a message just popped up.
When he saw those words, Armando looked like someone had dumped a bucket of cold water over his head, and his expression instantly turned gloomy.
Jovana stayed outside on the terrace for a while.
The night wind was howling, cutting into people’s skin like a knife. It was cold and it hurt.
Not only
was my body cold, my heart was cold too, like it had a big hole cut out of it, with cold wind blowing right through.
Her mind was fuzzy. She vaguely remembered Armando from high school, holding a basketball and running toward her with a big smile. He hugged her like a big dog, rubbing against her, and gave her the gold medal he won from the game. Everyone on the field started cheering back then. Her heart felt as sweet as if it was filled with honey, so warm and sweet it was almost too much.
At that time, she thought they could really go a long way together.
Jovana curled up her hand and stared blankly as tears dripped onto it.
After I got through that stabbing pain, I finally moved away.
“Baby, slow down, don’t scare our son.”
“Hmph, all you care about is your son. You don’t care about me at all!” the woman pouted and complained.
“How could I not care about you? Come on, let me help you…”
Hearing the voice, Jovana frowned a little and instinctively looked toward where it came from, somehow feeling that the voice sounded kind of familiar.
His
eyes wandered around and finally stopped on a man and a woman-
The man was holding the woman and coaxing her gently. He was so sweet, it was like he wanted to pull the stars from the sky and give them to her.
When Jovana saw that person’s face, her pupils suddenly shrank.
It was Zachary.
The woman he was with….
Jovana pinched her palm, and her head was buzzing.
Zachary was the live-in son-in-law of the Crosier family, and his original last name was Cuevas. He only made it big in the financial industry in Los Angeles because of his wife’s family’s power.

Without his wife, he never would have gotten to where he was.
Jovana had met his wife a few times.
No matter how unfamiliar she was, she could still tell that the pregnant woman Zachary was carefully accompanying was definitely not his wife.
Jovana’s forehead twitched, like something was about to come out.
After Zachary helped the woman back to the ward.

She walked to the nurse’s station, thought about her words, and asked the nurse, “Hi, I’m Mr. Crosier’s secretary. I came to bring him some documents. I was in a hurry and forgot to ask which room he’s in. I just tried calling but couldn’t get through. Can you help me check?”
What he said was flawless, nobody could find any fault with it.
The nurse saw that she seemed sincere, not like she was lying, raised her hand and pointed in a direction,”Go straight ahead, all the way to the end, the third room on the right.”
Jovana nodded, said thanks, and was about to leave. Then she turned back and asked, “Mrs. Crosier is here too, right? I’ll go say hi to her later…”
The nurse gave her a baffled look, “Of course he was here, Mrs. Crosier was pregnant, Mr. Crosier had been taking care of her these days.”
At this point, Jovana got the idea, said thanks, and walked away.
Her face looked unusually cold.
Sure enough, Zachary wasn’t a good person.
At that moment, there was a dull sound of a door opening, and Zachary walked out of the hospital room to take a call in a quiet corner.
“Mr. Galvan, the Lemonade Sizzle project was in my hands, I was fully in charge. If you had made up your mind, we could sign the contract anytime…”
Jovana wasn’t very far away, so every word hit her ears and left her totally rattled.
Lemonade Sizzle was a project she worked on for two months. She had to go to so many social events that she got allergic to alcohol. She was changing the plan in the middle of the night and had no idea how many nights she stayed up.
Now, Zachary just took it right out in the open?
Then what did everything she did before mean?
First, they schemed against her and sent her to someone as a stepping stone for their own gain.
