Snare of Love

Chapter 306 Drown Sorrows in Wine

“Don’t worry too much, it takes a while to fully recover. But considering Mrs. Leslie’s age, it might be a

bit slower. And she won’t be the same as she used to be, there could be some sequelae.” The doctor

said.

Armand Bernie was clear about it, so he pushed Mrs. Leslie to the ward.

The doctor ran some tests on Mrs. Leslie showing her physical conditions were good. Then the doctor

told them something they need to pay attention, “This ward is a temporary one, if you want to upgrade

it according to your own needs, you can go to the inpatient department to go through the transfer

procedures.”

“Of course we will have the best one.” Armand said it without any hesitation.

To let his grandma live a happy life was the reason he worked hard.

“Yeah, you can go fill out forms for admittance.” Then the doctor left the ward with others.

Theresa left Mrs. Leslie’s jacket on the back of the chair and said, “I will do the paperwork, you can

stay here with Mrs. Leslie.”

Armand didn’t say anything.

Theresa knew Armand wanted to stay with Mrs. Leslie as they had always been close to each other. So

he must be hoping to stay with her grandma for the time being. So she left the ward to do the

procedures.

Armand actually heard what she said, but he didn’t answer her purposely. He was thinking a lot in his

mind, so it would be better to have a serious talk after they clear their thoughts.

It took Theresa an hour to finish the procedure. She wasted a lot of time on the queue because there

were so many patients in the hospital.

With the help of the medical staff, Mrs. Leslie was transferred to the VIP ward. After things were

settled, Armand’s phone rang, and he took a peak, it was from Boyce Shawn.

He pressed it and answered, “Yes, Boyce.”

“Are you available tonight? Let’s gather together tonight? I have called Matthew.” Boyce asked.

Armand looked at Mrs. Leslie and hesitated. It was impossible for him to leave at the moment actually.

Boyce knew nothing about Mrs. Leslie was in the hospital, and he also didn’t know Armand was in

trouble with Theresa. So he teased, “What? Do you forget us after getting married?”

Before Armand said something, Boyce continued, “About Sampson, everything is fine now, don’t you

always want to teach him a lesson? Now it’s the time.”

“Where do we meet up?” Armand asked.

“See you at the old place.”

They had a place where they always gathered, so Armand asked again, “What time?”

“At 7 o’clock.”

“Yeah, I will be there on time.” He hung up the phone and looked back and found Theresa was wiping

Mrs. Leslie’s face and hands.

He was quite tensed, “Theresa…”

Theresa didn’t even look at him, “It’s not because of you that I’m taking care of her. People should NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

know how to repay others kindness.”

Armand pursed his lip, “Can you do me a favor?”

Theresa didn’t say anything because she was afraid he was going to talk about something related to

their relationship.

“Boyce wanted me to meet him tonight, can you help me take care of grandma?” Armand asked. He

explained more in case Theresa turned him down, “Sampson’s matter was solved and he wanted

Matthew and me to meet together about the next step.”

Theresa thought about it for a second, and agreed, “Ok..”

Because she couldn’t fully trust a stranger to take care of Mrs. Leslie.

Armand came up to her trying to say something but just signed and left.

The law office was closed because of Spring Festival. Everyone was preparing for the festival. The

whole city was filled with joyful atmosphere of the New Year in the B city.

Armand almost spent the whole day at hospital without eating anything, but he still had no appetite. He

was the first one who arrived the spot. So he ordered some wine to drink first. Shortly, Boyce arrived

and saw Armand was drinking alone. He closed the door and jokingly said, “What’s wrong groom? Why

drinking alone?”

Armand didn’t answer him.

Armand wasn’t like this and he must say something back if it was in the past. Boyce put on a serious

face and sat beside Armand, “Drown your sorrows in wine?”

Armand too a sip and told him, “Phoebe is back.”

Boyce’s lips twitched, ‘He knew it so quickly’?

Boyce pretended to know nothing about it, “What are you going to do? Theresa is a good woman,

please don’t hurt her.”

Armand took a peak at him, drank some wine and said, “She changed.”

“Bullshit, didn’t you change? How old were you back then? Look at you now, you even have wrinkles

now.” Boyce poked the part under his eyes.

Armand hadn’t have any time to sleep, he did look really bad with dark circle under his eyes.

Armand stared at Boyce and told him, “Don’t touch me.”

Boyce poured himself a cup of wine and said slowly, “I really don’t want to, but don’t make yourself like

a precious treasure.”

“Theresa wanted to divorce me.” Armand signed, “My grandma suffered a sudden cerebral

hemorrhage, and she is still in the hospital.”

Boyce felt shocked and asked with concern, “Everything fine with your grandma?”

“Yeah, she survived.”

“That’s great… So Theresa found out Phoebe was back?” Boyce thought a while and asked.

“Yeah, we had some misunderstandings. She is determined to leave me.” Armand was heartbroken as

long as he was thinking about Theresa’s attitude towards it.

“What do you think about it?” Boyce asked.

Armand glared at him, “What do you mean by what do I think about it?”

Boyce sighed and was thinking this guy was done, “Of course I mean who do you love? Theresa or

Phoebe. Was it that hard for you to figure things out? You are an adult now. If you still love Phoebe

then tell Theresa about it. You still have time to make her up. But it will be hard to make up just with

money I think. ”

Armand poured a full glass of wine and drank it in one go, then he frowned, “I no longer love Phoebe.

I’m done with her.”

“So you mean, you love Theresa?” Boyce asked curiously.

“But she wants to leave me.” Armand was annoyed, “I don’t know what to do to win her trust back.”

“Her sense of security is from you.” Boyce patted on his shoulder, “You have to confess yourself to her

if you want to save your relationship.”

No one could help except himself.

He had to do it himself.

Click, the door of the private room was opened, they both looked back at the same time, seeing

Matthew come in.

Matthew glanced at the wine and pulled out a chair for himself and sat down.

Armand and Boyce kept silent.

“Sampson is in jail.” Because his case was not a death sentence, they only extended the sentence and

he had to stay in jail for more time.

Matthew hummed and seemed not in a good mood.

After Boyce said the news to Matthew, no one kept on saying anything. The private room was quiet and

everyone was sitting there awkwardly.

“How about we order some food? I haven’t had dinner yet, how about you?” Boyce tried to say

something to make the environment less awkward.

But still, no one answered him.

Armand drank one more glass of wine.

Boyce thought, ‘What happened? Were they all in a bad mood?’

“Let’s have something to eat first. We can talk while eating.” Boyce ordered a lot of food.

He broke the silence first, “Matthew, why you seem in a bad mood?”

He knew Armand was trapped by love, but Matthew should live a happy life since he as wife and

children, his business is also good, what was bothering him?

Boyce totally understood Armand but not Matthew. He was quite confusing.
