“Would he feel that way?” Lisa asked cautiously.
“If I was Luke and I found out that you hadn’t called me first, I would be quite upset,” Emma said straightforwardly. “Luke likes you for you. But, for the sake of having a child, why do I feel like you haven’t been yourself lately?”
“Do you want to leave after getting your blood test results?” Lisa reminded as they wandered further from the hospital.
“It’s not important. I’ve left my phone number. They will contact me when they have the results…”
Late at night, in the Pembroke Family home.
After Mother Pembroke made a series of phone calls, Elodie approached her and asked, “Mom, how did it go?”
“Everything has been arranged. The doctor in charge of examining Emma has already accepted our money, so she will definitely carry through with the plan,” Mother Pembroke reassured as she patted Elodie on the back of her hand. “I have also arranged to leak the information to the media so the whole world can find out that Emma can’t have children. Let’s see how she will survive in the Roborts Family.”
“More importantly, you are now pregnant. We should start planning how to get you back into the Miller Family.”
Elodie r*bbed her belly. This child was her last gamble. She could not afford to make another mistake…
“I’ve had people trailing your grandfather for some time. Ever since the business was handed over to Bertha, his life has been quite leisurely. On the 20th of every month, he has been visiting the orphanage funded by Miller Corps. to check on the children there. It’s clear to see that he wants grandchildren.”
“When the time is right, we will arrange to have you meet him near there.”
After hearing Mother Pembroke’s plan, there was a sharp twinkle in Elodie’s eyes. She had already endured too much over the past few months. This time, she was definitely going to make Emma and Bertha’s life a living hell.
…
After returning home from the hospital, Emma quietly entered the study room. Seeing Eric sitting on his office chair, she gently approached him and leaned against his back.
Eric was in the middle of looking through some documents. Sensing the woman behind him, he did not turn around, but gently asked, “What happened? Did Lisa have another issue to deal with?”
“Yep. Why has it taken Luke so long to cure Lisa’s worries?” Emma asked helplessly. “This is so typical of Lisa. On the surface she appears unaffected, but in reality, she is more sensitive and fragile than anyone else. She also cares about Luke too much.”
“Since you’re tired, then have a rest,” Eric turned around, pulled her into his embrace and gently stroked her hair, “Leave one’s wife for their husband to worry about.”
Emma breathed in Eric’s scent and stood up, “OK, from now on, I will only worry about my husband…”
“Go have a bath, you still need to go to the hospital tomorrow.”
Emma gently placed a k**s on Eric’s cheek before she turned and left. Because of the examination tomorrow, Eric did not do anything to Emma that night. He simply hugged her and coaxed her until she fell asleep. Afterwards, Eric got up and phoned Luke.
Luke received Eric’s phone call in the middle of the night. After returning to his bed, he shook Lisa awake and asked, “What did you do today?”
“Huh?” Lisa r*bbed her eyes sleepily.
“The President called me just a moment ago and gave me a scolding. He told me to watch over my wife and to stop you from disturbing his wife,” Luke said helplessly, “Tell me. What did you do this time that I don’t know about?”
“I…”
Luke looked at Lisa and eventually guessed the answer, “It’s something to do with having a child, isn’t it?”
“…”
“I told you a long time ago that I don’t care if you have a child or not. Why do you keep p**ssuring yourself?” Luke asked as he furrowed his brows. “What do you want me to do to prove to you that I won’t leave you no matter what happens and that I will always protect and cherish our family?”
Lisa took the opportunity to pounce onto Luke’s body and surrender, “I’m really starting to not recognize myself. You and Emma are right. It’s my own problem that I keep dwelling on this issue. From now on, I’ll tell you everything and won’t keep anything from you.”
“Can I trust your words?”
“I promise!” Lisa raised her hand. “I am serious this time.”
“I’ve already spoken to my parents. They won’t rush us to have children. You can have them whenever you want. In fact, it’s OK even if you don’t have any.”
“OK,” Lisa nodded enthusiastically. She suddenly realized how silly she had been.
“Tomorrow is the President and the Madam’s wedding anniversary, yet you hogged her for an entire night. No wonder the President is angry. Can’t you be a bit more careful?”
“You’ve never scolded me like that before,” Lisa whined.
“OK, OK, sleep… I’ll scold you in my sleep instead,” Luke once again hugged Lisa as he pulled over the blankets. Actually, he knew deep down that everything Lisa did was for his sake.
He and Lisa were just average people, so he simply wanted protect their little family.
If he couldn’t even protect Lisa’s heart, what right did he have to be her husband?
…
The next day.
Emma woke up to find Eric looking at her admiringly. She quickly covered her face shyly, “I just woke up. I haven’t washed my face yet.”
“It’s fine. You’re as beautiful as ever,” Eric said before placing a k**s on her cheek. “Happy wedding anniversary, wifey.”
Emma stretched out her arms and wr*pped them around Eric’s neck as they hugged each other tightly. A moment later, Emma looked at the time and forced herself out of bed, “I’m going to go have a shower first and then we can go to the hospital together.”
“OK,” Eric nodded.
Emma got out of bed first while Eric made the bed. At this time, Emma’s phone suddenly started vibrating. It was an unknown number.
Eric casually picked up the phone. As he lifted the phone to his ear, all he heard was, “Hello Miss Miller, we have the results for your hCG blood test that you did yesterday. According to the pathology report, it appears you are pregnant. May I ask when you will have some free time to come in for a follow-up exam?”
Hearing the word ‘pregnant’, Eric froze…
“Miss Miller? Are you listening?”
“I am her husband. What did you just say about Emma?” Eric asked for confirmation.
“Oh hello! Errr…according to the pathology report, Miss Miller appears to be pregnant,” the person on the other end repeated politely.
The person on the phone realized, if she was talking to Emma’s husband…then that must mean she was talking to Eric…
