Chapter 233 It’s Good News
Good news?
I wanted to ask more, but Mr. Zachary had already left with Dr. Langford.
Upon entering the Western Garden’s hall, there was nobody around.
It seemed everyone was upstairs, judging from the voices echoing down to us.
Idris and 1 ascended the stairs, and upon reaching Liam and Emily’s master bedroom, we
heard Madam Young’s laughter, which sounded very cheerful.
At the doorway, we saw Emily lying in bed, with Liam standing beside her, caring for her.
Madam Young and Liam’s mother were sitting by the bed, chatting and laughing with
Emily. It was a scene that hinted at something positive.
Hearing our approach, they all turned to look at us.
Madam Young beckoned to us. “Come here quickly and take a seat.”
Once inside the bedroom, she looked at me with a kind smile. “Did you sleep well last
night? Did 1 wake you up by calling you here so early?”
Idris and I nodded in unison.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIdris then asked, “Grandma, what had happened here?”
She replied warmly, “I thought it was bad news, but it turned out to be good news. Emily
here is pregnant.”
Idris seemed slightly taken aback before looking at Liam. Liam looked at him, and calmly
suggested, “Iddy, why don’t you accompany me to the hospital? Dr. Langford said that
Emily’s pregnancy hormones are unstable and she needs medication.”
Idris agreed without further comment and left the room with Liam.
In the bedroom, after a few words of advice from the elders to Emily, they too left.
Then it was just me and Emily in the room. She leaned on the bed, looked at me and said
apologetically, “Yvette, I’m so sorry, I didn’t know Grandma sent someone over to call you
too. I’m sorry for making you worry so
y in the mori
I smiled at her as if I did not mind one bit. I simply looked at her and asked, “Did
something happen in the morning?”
Otherwise, why would Madam Young, be alarmed so early in the morning?
She took a deep breath, her gentle face revealing a mix of helplessness and self–mockery.
“It’s actually quite laughable when I think about it now. I always thought I was lucky to be
born. into a wealthy and comfortable family, to have received a good education, to have a
job I love, and to have married a seemingly flawless man who respects and cherishes me.
But…”
She smiled bitterly and looked at me. “You must have guessed something about what
happened last night in the backyard.”
I pursed my lips, feeling an unpleasant premonition and asked her, “Does Liam have
someone
else by his side?”
“I don’t know,” Emily shook her head, tears brimming in her eyes. “He says there’s no
one, and I wanted to believe him. But early this morning, another woman called him, and
he was leaving to her. If it wasn’t for me trying to stop him, to get him to explain things
clearly to me, I wouldn’t have accidentally gotten pushed and started bleeding. I’m afraid
he’s going to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher now.”
So Madam Young’s call for us was not just about Emily’s pregnancy, but because Emily
almost had an accident.
I took a deep breath, looking at Emily, unsure of how to comfort her or what to say. After a
moment of silence, I asked, “Did Liam explain everything to you after he learned about
your pregnancy?”
Emily nodded. “He said it was just a friend and not what I was thinking. But Yvette, would
a friend call him early in the morning asking to meet up?”
Listening to Emily, I sensed that she was still uncertain about whether Liam really had
someone else.
Considering Liam’s situation with Sweety, which seemed to be unrequited from Sweety’s
side, I said to Emily, “Perhaps it’s really as Liam said, it’s just a friend. You know what kind
of person he is. For all these years, despite the distance between you two, there’s never
been an issue. If he really had any intentions to cheat, why wouldn’t he do it while he was
abroad, out of your sight? Instead, he waits to come back to the country, under your
watch, to create trouble? Isn’t that just asking to get caught?”
