Chapter 1177: 1179: I’m Afraid I’ll Miss You

Hospital——Fiona Sutton tightly held the ring in her hand, with a smile always on her face throughout the day.

Every now and then, she gazed at the ring in a trance, and occasionally even laughed out loud.

"Auntie, once he finishes his work, he will come back, and then we will never be apart again."

Fiona’s mind was filled with his image.

She was quite regretful, wondering why she hadn’t agreed to Yancy Hastings earlier.

He was just a bit chauvinistic, that’s all, just...

An exceptional man.

Haha, she remembered how she used to refer to him like that.

"If Yancy is still alive, why doesn’t he come back?"

Mrs. Hastings was very puzzled, looking at the ring in Fiona’s hand, feeling quite lost inside.

This clearly felt like he had already returned, but why leave again?

"There must be something he still needs to do. Once he’s finished, when everything settles down, he will come to me under the colorful clouds and say the words he hadn’t yet been able to say."

Looking at the ring, a smile appeared on Fiona’s lips.

The meaning of the ring was unmistakable.

She reached out to touch her belly, determined to wait for him to return with their baby. When the time comes, she will tell him in person.

"I promise."

Promise to take responsibility for you.

Promise to accept your proposal.

Promise to everything you’ve spoken of.

So...

Hastings, could you come back early?

I’m afraid that I miss you too much, that when I miss you too dearly, I will cry.

Fiona’s face, though still wearing a smile, had glistening tears in her eyes.

"Alright, dear child, it’s our Hastings Family’s fault, it’s Yancy’s fault, for letting you down."

Whenever Mrs. Hastings saw Fiona like this, she couldn’t bear it.

After all, what parent wouldn’t care for their child?

Fiona lost her parents too early, leaving her with no one to take her side.

She’s only twenty years old, at her prime, should be living an energetic life outside, having a passionate romance.

Instead of sitting in a hospital, preserving pregnancy for a man who is already dead.

In such circumstances, most women would choose to terminate the pregnancy.

But...

Fiona seemed so perceptive.

Yet she was so foolish.

"Once the baby is born, we will take care of it. You can find a good man, get married, have a complete family."

Mrs. Hastings spoke with sympathy, reaching out to touch her hair.

Fiona paused, clutching the ring tighter.

"No."

It won’t happen.

That day will never come.

"Auntie, maybe before the child is born, he will have already come back."

Fiona said with a smile.

Nia Mitchell entered the room to see Fiona full of smiles.

"Why are you so happy?"

It had been a long time since she saw Fiona with such a smile, had something extraordinary happened today?

When Fiona saw Nia come over, she immediately spoke up.

"Nia, Yancy didn’t die, he came here yesterday and talked to me, even gave me a ring."

As she spoke, Fiona showed the ring.

Nia was taken aback, standing there in surprise.

What’s going on?

Not dead?

Upon hearing this news, Nia instinctively looked at Maxwell Peary.

Maxwell furrowed his brows and slowly walked over.

"May I take a look at your ring?"

Fiona looked at Maxwell, her eyes full of probing.

She thought for a long time, then nodded, handing the ring over.
