A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1449 Scare

In the quiet room, Taylor, who was perched on a sofa, carefully observed the person lying in the other sofa in front of her. She frowned and couldn't help but feel concerned.

"We're finished with today's treatment. Let's schedule the day of the next appointment some other time," Taylor told Louis, who was standing by the door. She started to organize the documents, making sure that they were neatly stored.

Due to Scott's current condition, it would be best for them to perform the treatment slowly. They couldn't let it overwhelm him. They needed to conduct the treatment step by step. The treatment plan would have to be slightly adjusted later.

Louis gave a quick nod and said, "It's already noon. I've asked my assistant to order lunch for us. Can you stay and eat with me?"

Louis was a tall guy. His height allowed him to reach the top of the door frame using his hand with ease. He had the aura of a modest gentleman when he was dressed in a customized suit.

He put his hands in the pockets of his suit and looked at Taylor to see what she was doing. His eyes were hopeful as if he was a child who was eager to get some candy.

What Taylor had experienced was enough for her to decide that there would be no future between them. She couldn't lead him on. He would only be disappointed in the end if she did that. Deep in her heart, she just knew that they wouldn't end well.

"No, sorry. I have an appointment at noon." After she packed everything up, she turned around and started to walk out.

Louis's expression suddenly darkened. He reached out his hand and grabbed the woman before she could get far. "How about tomorrow then?"

Her arm started to hurt from being grabbed so tightly. She wanted to break free from his grasp, but every time she struggled, he would just grip her arm even more tightly.

"Can you let go of my arm first?" Taylor asked with a glare. Her bright, red lips were pursed angrily at him.

With a blink, Louis suddenly realized that he had just lost his composure. Upon realizing it, he immediately let her go. "I'm so sorry, Taylor," he quickly said.

Taylor ignored him and said, "I can't join you anywhere tomorrow. I'm very busy these days." Then, she started to walk towards the elevator and didn't bother to look back.

His actions had ruined her mood and annoyed her.

"Hey, I have to apologize to you. Please don't be angry!" Louis quickly ran after her. Even though he was the CEO of a company, he was making an apology in such an aggrieved tone. If one of his employees saw what happened, they would undoubtedly think badly of him.

On the other hand, Taylor didn't know what to say regarding Louis's shamelessness.

"All right." Taylor nodded nonchalantly.

"Then, let me drive you home to make it up to you."

When they finished talking, the elevator finally reached the first floor. Taylor exited the building, but Louis still followed her. She then raised her hand to flag down a taxi.

"You don't have to drive me home. I already forgave you." She refused when she saw him follow her out. A taxi stopped in front of them.

"You...". . . . . Before Louis was able to finish his sentence, Taylor opened the door of the cab and got inside.

When she had said she had an appointment, she had been lying. She just didn't want to join him for lunch. As he watched the taxi drive away, Louis couldn't help but feel disappointed.

..

As a new day arrived, one's mood about certain things could change and be different from yesterday. Louis had been rejected yesterday, but he might get accepted today.

So, he came up with a new idea: to pick Amy up from school.

Originally, he wanted to call Taylor and tell her that he was going to pick Amy up as he didn't want her to panic. But after several calls, she didn't answer him, so he gave up and told himself, "It's not like I didn't try to tell her. She just wasn't answering my phone." Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Taylor wasn't able to pick up his calls because of work. During treatments, she always put her phone on silent. Therefore, she wouldn't be able to see any calls until after she was done. Today was no different.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Louis arrived at the kindergarten and waited patiently for the school bell to ring.

"Hello, I am here to pick Amy up," Louis informed the teacher.

"And what is your relationship with Amy?" It was the teacher's job to familiarize herself with the people who usually came to pick the children up. However, she had never seen Louis pick Amy up before, although, judging from his appearance, he didn't seem like a liar.

"I am Amy's uncle. She knows who I am." When he saw the teacher's expression, Louis knew what the teacher was worried about. "If you don't believe me, I can call her mother. You can confirm it."

The teacher looked hesitant, but eventually nodded.

Louis took his phone out and dialed Taylor's number. However, she still didn't answer. Instead of Taylor's voice, he was met with the monotone voice of the operator. "Sorry, the number you dialed is not answering.". . . . .

The teacher also heard the call not being answered because it was loud. Louis couldn't help but feel a tinge of embarrassment. However, as a CEO, he was used to keeping his composure even in awkward moments. . . . . . . "It seems that her mother is busy with something and can't come to the phone right now."

"Well, I'm sorry. We have a rule here in school that the children can only be picked up by registered guardians." The teacher was quite young. Even though the man in front of her was embarrassed, rules were still rules. She knew that she couldn't break the school rules just because he was good-looking. After all, no bad guy could be easily identified.

Louis understood why the teacher wouldn't allow him to take Amy away easily. After all, the safety of the children was the top priority.

"This is my name card." Louis took out a small business card from his pocket and handed it to the teacher. "You can ask Amy if she recognizes me. We're very close."

In his eyes, the most important thing that he needed to do to win Taylor over was to get close to Amy.

The teacher took the business card from him and carefully studied it. She was still hesitant, but eventually, she decided to compromise for his sake. "Wait here," she told him.

A few minutes later, Amy walked out with her teacher hand in hand. As soon as she saw Louis, she quickly let go of the teacher's hand and ran towards Louis. She then threw herself into his arms.

"Uncle Louis," she greeted him, still in his arms. Then, she pouted. "Why haven't you come to visit and play with me for so long?"

"Recently, I got a little busy. But I have some time to spare today. What do you say we go out for a meal?" Louis said gently and caressed the little girl's hair.

"Teacher, is it okay if I take her away now?" he asked, but his tone sounded like it was an order, which meant that it could not be refused.

The teacher nodded, as she saw how close Amy was to the handsome man in front of her.

"Thank you very much."

Today, Taylor's patient was a little special, so the treatment took a little longer than usual. It also meant that she was a little late in picking Amy up. When she finally arrived at the school, she was shocked.

"What?! Amy was picked up by someone else?" Taylor suddenly raised her voice, and a wave of panic started to rush over her. Amy was the sole person that she could rely on. She couldn't imagine how her life would become without Amy.

"Don't worry," The teacher said calmly in an effort to comfort her. "The man who came to pick her up didn't look sketchy or anything. She called him 'Uncle Louis' and they seemed very close. That's why I allowed Amy to leave with him,"

the teacher explained to Taylor. Her voice was calm, but she was clenching her hands. Seeing that Amy's mother looked extremely nervous, she couldn't help but feel regret that she had let the man pick Amy up without proper confirmation.

"Wait, did you just say she called him 'Uncle Louis'?"

"Yes. I was under the impression that you asked him to pick her up, because he called you in front of me. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.". . . . . The teacher looked frightened. Her eyes started to turn red and it seemed like she was about to burst into tears.
