358 Chapter 357
The lawyer didn't understand what Ellis ant, as all previous health checks had been confidential, but upon hearing this, he imdiately nodded. "Okay."
The institutions that conducted tests were mostly closed at night.
Money talks, however, and although the lawyer didn't reveal Ellis's information, he still found him a small testing facility.
Ellis put on a mask and a cap to hide his face, followed the lawyer out the door, and quickly arrived at the testing institution.
After providing samples at the testing institution, he left them there as the facility couldn't imdiately give a result.
Even working overti throughout the night, they would need until the next morning to have results. He left the lawyer behind and drove aimlessly through the streets of Clance.
For a mont, he didn't know where to go...
Ho... thinking about how ardently his parents longed to see Mary pregnant right away, and then considering Mary's listless deanor, he didn't want to go back.
But as for other places... it seed there was nowhere else to go.
So, he wandered aimlessly, and without realizing it, ended up driving to "Keera's" place.
His car stopped in front of the house. Seeing that the lights inside were all on, he suddenly got out of the car.
He didn't enter the house but took out his phone instead.
Before long, Lewis ca out.
He was still dressed casually with a lazy posture. After he ca out, he looked at Ellis. "It's your wedding night. Why aren't you at ho? What are you doing here?"
Ellis looked at him, "I'm a bit annoyed. Fancy joining for a couple of drinks?"
Lewis said, "Sorry, I don't drink."
"You can have tea. I'll drink."
Ellis walked up to him. "Just for old ti's sake, since we studied abroad together, can you do this favor?"
Lewis hesitated for a mont.
He coughed, frowned in thought for a brief ti, then looked toward the villa again.
Thinking of the cozy scene inside now...
Rebecca hadn't left and was staying over, claiming she wanted to have an all-night talk with Keira, and he had no idea what they would discuss. Wasn't Keira afraid of him being taken away?
The re thought that Keira might not care about him made him a bit stifled.
He looked at Ellis. "Fine."
He got into Ellis's car.
The two n drove straight to the bar.
The private room Ellis had just booked was still available. Once they were inside, Ellis ordered several drinks and started drinking right away.
"Tell ..."
He downed a glass and then continued. "What's going through Mary's mind? She went to great lengths to marry , yet I walk out on our wedding night, and she doesn't care?"
Lewis took a sip of the tea, then looked at his phone.
He had been out for an hour, and Keira hadn't even ssaged to ask where he was...
Lewis couldn't help but pursed his lips, feeling a bit unhappy. He said bluntly, "They say sweet words of love, but won's hearts are as deep as the ocean. It's too hard to know what's true."
Ellis imdiately nodded, reaching out and holding Lewis's hand. "We truly are brothers in adversity!"
Lewis coldly withdrew his hand. "I'm not the sa as you."
He calmly stated, "Keira definitely has a place in her heart for ."
Ellis, having had too much to drink, didn't catch the difference between "Keira" and "Keera" and blurted out, "Does she? How would you know? Have you seen inside her heart?"
Lewis chuckled scornfully. "I don't need to see it to know I'm there."
"Impossible!"
Ellis took another drink. "If you don't believe it, let's leave our phones here and see whose woman calls first!"
Having said that, he took out his phone and placed it on the table.
Lewis was speechless.
He twitched the corner of his mouth, not wanting to lower himself to the level of an alcoholic, but inexplicably, he took out his phone and placed it in the corner of the table.
It wasn't that he was competing with Ellis. He just thought it would be more convenient to pick up her call later.
"Yeah, just like that."
Lewis thought this to himself, then coughed and took another sip of water.
"Ding."
Soone's phone pinged, and both imdiately looked at their phones, only to see that Ellis's phone lit up.
A wave of displeasure imdiately surged up in Lewis's chest.
Ellis grabbed his phone. "It must be Mary. She's sent a WhatsApp ssage, telling to co back!"
After saying that, Ellis glanced at the screen and then furiously slamd the phone down on the table. "Fuck! It's an ad!"
Lewis was speechless. Aall 𝒏𝒆west ch𝒂pt𝒆rs on n.o./v𝒆l𝒃i/n/(.)c𝒐m
He oddly felt a sense of relief!
But then, he imdiately felt childish. Why had he agreed to such a silly competition with Ellis?
So what if he won?
He and Keira didn't need this kind of testing!
Proudly telling himself that, Lewis picked up his phone and was about to put it in his pocket when he glanced at the screen.
He discovered there were no new ssage alerts.
He opened WhatsApp and sent a ssage to Tom.
Tom imdiately replied, "Boss, what's up?"
Lewis coughed.
It was nothing, he was just checking if there was a problem with the phone signal or WhatsApp, preventing ssages from coming through.
Since that wasn't the case, he was reassured.
He put the phone into his pocket.
Then he started to feel uneasy all over.
What was Keira doing? What was she discussing with Rebecca late into the night? Would they talk about him?
As Lewis was caught in his random thoughts, his phone vibrated.
He quickly picked it up and saw that Tom had sent another ssage. "Boss?"
Lewis imdiately furrowed his brows and replied, "Don't send random ssages if there's nothing important!"
Tom was dumbfounded.
After venting his frustration on Tom, Lewis once again put down his phone, about to pocket it, but then thought better of it and left the phone on the table instead.
Only when he turned back did he realize that Ellis had fallen asleep at so point...
In front of him were over half a dozen empty bottles.
Lewis's gaze fell once more onto the phone next to him, staring for a while before he coughed.
His phone screen had lit up just now, it surely wasn't a ssage from Mary, was it?
Two hours later.
Lewis still hadn't received a ssage from Keira, and he stood up with a dark face and headed out the door.
Ellis asked groggily, "Where are you going?"
Lewis said, "I'm going ho!"
Ellis was dumbfounded.
He paid no mind to Lewis and simply turned over and went back to sleep.
He slept straight through to the next day.
As daylight broke, he slowly opened his eyes and instinctively reached for his phone.
Only then did he see several ssages on the screen.
All of them were ssages from his lawyer.
Ellis imdiately called the lawyer back and heard him say, "Mr. Ellis, the test results are out."
