Chapter 28
The doctor composed herself. Although she had reached a conclusion, she didn’t blurt it out immediately. Working for the Wilson family, one of the top–notch families, required constant vigilance–no room for error. Whether it was just a period or pregnancy, she needed further
confirmation. I’ll give Mrs. Sophia an ultrasound first to see what’s up, and then I’ll fill you in on the specifics,” she said.
Jason’s expression grew darker.
Outside the door, Eric asked, “Mr. Wilson, Mr. Evans from
Evans from Watson Group wants a video chat to discuss further collaboration. Can you take it now?”
Jason massaged his throbbing temples, his gaze landing on Sophia’s pale face, feeling a suffocating tightness in his chest. “Is her life in danger?” he
asked.
The doctor quickly shook her head. “Don’t worry. Mrs. Sophia is just temporarily unconscious. She’ll come around soon.”
Jason withdrew his gaze as he grabbed his coat that was tossed aside. His eyes darkened when he spotted the dried blood on the cuff. “Hit me up the second you get anything,” he said, striding out of the room.
In the next room, Ada was resting with her eyes closed, leaning against the headboard.
Eve stood by the bed and pleaded with a low voice. “Miss Ada, I’ve done as you asked. Can you let my son and daughter–in–law go now!”
Ada slowly opened her eyes, her lips curving into a seductive smile. She wouldn’t release them now, of course. Letting them go would be like shooting herself in the foot. “Eve, you’ve been taking care of the Wilson Mansion for over a decade, deeply trusted by the family. I will need you in the future, so I’m afraid I have to ask you to keep helping me out for a bit longer.”
Eve was fuming by her backtracking. “Ada, don’t push your luck, or I’ll spill your dirty secrets, and we’ll both be in hot water.”
Ada played with her pink nail, chuckling. “Calm down. There’s no need to make waves. We can both have it easy. Besides, I haven’t mistreated your son and his wife. They’ve been well taken care of Oh, and the baby in your daughter–in–law’s womb is also fine.”
Eve was startled. After all, her son had been married for five years without a child. “My daughter–in–law is pregnant?” she asked.
Ada flicked her finger and said lazily, “Yes, you’re going to be a grandmother. So, don’t make any rash decisions. Think about the baby, will you!”
Eve wanted to ask more when the door was knocked, and a maid came in, whispering a few words to her.
After listening, Eve widened her eyes in surprise. “Are you sure?”
“Yes, Dr. Diaz is giving her an ultrasound now,” said the maid.
Eve nodded and waved the maid off. Then, she turned to Ada and said, “Mr. Jason had with Mrs. Sophia at the pavilion. He might have been a bit too forceful, and Mrs. Sophia’s bleeding. It seems like a pregnancy
She knew that there was no turning back as she reported this to Ada. What lay ahead for them was an uncertain future aboard the same ship.
Ada was fiddling with her nails when the word “pregnancy made her tense. “What? Did she manage to get pregnant even after losing a fallopian tube? Heh, lucky her. I should’ve had them take out the other one. In a fit of rage, she snagged a water glass from the nightstand and threw it against the wall.
That bitch being pregnant means Jason has a better option now. He was never keen on our baby. Now, with Sophia pregnant, he probably can’t wait to get rid of mine. After all these days, it’s clear Jason has fallen for that bitch. If they have a kid, I won’t stand a chance, she thought.
Turning to Eve, she said, “Eve, you know what to do next, don’t you?”
Meanwhile, Jason, having just finished the video call with George, was slumped on the sofa. “Is Sophia’s medical report ready?” he asked.
Hannials entered the room, somewhat nervous and hesitated.
