"I hope it will be for a good reason," Eleanor said.…At the Cambridge family…."Mia! Mia!" Mr. Cambridge called her angrily after he got out of the car. His stupid daughter had never brought anything good to the family."Honey, why are you shouting while you are coming?" Mrs. Cambridge said, wiping her hands with a napkin.'Slap.' "How dare you cause trouble? Are you happy now?" He slapped her on the cheek the moment he entered. Mia held her cheek in surprise. "Father," she exclaimed in horror."Honey, why did you slap her?" Mrs. Cambridge inquired, even though she knew the reason."I warned your daughter not to cause any problems. Now we have lost of everything. Are you happy now?" Mr. Cambridge said, breathing heavily."Father, that wasn't my fault. It was Eleanor's fault. The plan was perfect," Mia said with an aggrieved tone. "Idiot. All you know is to blame others for your foolishness. If you had listened to me, this wouldn't have happened. Are you happy now that you have dest
The passersby quickly called the ambulance. Soon the ambulance came to pick him up. They called Mrs Cambridge who quickly rushed to the hospital. "Doctor, what happened?" She asked while panting. "Mrs, his injuries are quite serious. He is still unconscious. Let's hope he wakes up." The doctor said with some frustration in his tone. " Doctor, please save him at all costs. Please?" "We are trying our best." The doctor responded. The nurse quickly rushed to them, panting heavily, "Doctor, the patient…" The doctor didn't wait for him to complete her words and quickly rushed to the ward. "Doc…" Before Mrs Cambridge could finish her words, the doctor was already gone. "Mother, what happened?" Mia rushed to the hospital as soon as she received the news. Mrs Cambridge called her as soon as she got to the hospital. "Mia," she was lost in thought. Her voice was soft yet filled with sadness. "The doctor said your father is in critical condition." "Mother, what exactly happened?" Mia ask
… Two weeks later…Mia had been feeling weak recently. She sometimes felt nauseous and always dizzy. "What's happening to me?" she wondered.Mrs. Cambridge had seen her daughter's pale face. She walked to her bedroom and found Mia still in bed. "Mia, are you okay?" she asked."Mother, I'm feeling weak," Mia spoke in a weak voice.Mrs. Cambridge touched her forehead, and her temperature was normal. She called the doctor. Shortly after, the doctor arrived. After checking on her, the doctor said with a smile, "If my guess is right, the young mistress is pregnant. Congratulations," the doctor said with a wide grin."No! How can I get pregnant? Doctor, are you sure?" Mia was shocked. But she remembered clearly she had taken pills after the incident. How could she get pregnant?"You can go to the hospital for confirmation," the doctor said. The doctor left without prescribing any medicine, telling her to go to the hospital to check."Yes, I will have to be sure," Mia said. She can't be preg
The twenty-four hours were almost up, and Mia and her mother still hadn't found a place to stay. Things started getting difficult.“Mother, are we going to sleep outside?" Mia asked.“Let's see if we can find help.” Although it seemed impossible, Mrs. Cambridge still hoped someone would come to their aid.“We are sorry, Mrs. Cambridge. There is no space in the house; otherwise, I would have happily accommodated you.”"I have given the room to my son. He just returned from abroad. I'm sorry; I would have helped you if I had the ability.”"My husband wouldn't permit me to accommodate strangers; otherwise, I would have gladly accepted you.”These were the responses from those they sought help from.After searching for twenty hours, they still couldn't find any assistance. “Mother, why should we leave the house for them?" Mia, exhausted, said with a frown."Do we have a choice? Can we fight against them?" Mrs. Cambridge asked hopelessly."It's my father's house, yet we leave it for them?
Are we pregnant?" Jerome asked with a happy tone."Wait, we? Did I hear it wrongly?" Bright murmured with a puzzled look. "Boss, you said we? What's going on, Eleanor, can you explain?" Bright became inquisitive. He won't be able to sleep if he doesn't get an answer today."Bright, you should have respect for your boss when we are outside the office," Jerome said sternly."Bam! Another bomb dropped. Wife, Miss Eleanor, when did you two get married?" Bright was confused. He had known Eleanor had been living with Jerome lately, but he didn't know what the problem was. So this is it?"I'm sorry, Bright, I didn't want to make it known to the public. I wanted it to be only the two of us," Eleanor said softly."But I'm not part of the public. I am your co-worker and the boss's secretary.""Even Steve and Gaius don't know about it," Jerome's statement made Bright swallow his grief. But why are they keeping it from their friends? He can't keep this news to only himself. He has become close to
“Can you leave so I can dress up?" Eleanor raised her eyebrow, indicating for him to leave.“I have bathed you, touched every part of your body. What else are you shy about?" Jerome teased her."Jerome!!” Eleanor felt like crying. Why is this man becoming shameless?"It's alright, let me dress you up." He stood up, went to the closet, and picked a not too tight dress. “Hey, don't tell me you are going to dress me.” Eleanor wanted to run away."Come on, let's hurry; it's getting late.” Jerome didn't give her a chance to escape. He helped her with the dress, and they drove to the hospital.After running the test, the doctor confirmed Eleanor was two weeks pregnant.“Doctor, are you sure?" Eleanor asked.“Yes, Miss, I am very sure. You are two weeks pregnant."“Oh, ok," Eleanor nodded her head. Only God knows what she was thinking.After they left the hospital, Jerome helped her sit in the car. In the car, Eleanor was quiet and deep in thought.“Eleanor, what are you thinking?" Jerome s
Gaius helped serve the food. Looking at the well-presented dish, Steve couldn't wait any longer and was about to dish out his food. His hand was held by Jerome's.“Why have you held my hands?" Steve was confused."Don't you have manners? At least you should wait for us,” Gaius rebuked him.“That Tilapia is not yours. Eat these ones." Jerome pointed out to the other dishes.“Hey, but you know I love tilapia. If it's not mine, then who is it for?" He was like a child who didn't understand anything.“Wife," Jerome said only one word.“We are also your buddies, why should she be the only one who enjoys good food? Sister-in-law can I eat some of your fish?""Okay,” Eleanor nodded. There were many fish, and she wouldn't be able to eat them all. It wouldn't cost anything if he eats some. Besides, Steve is like a child who knows nothing.“No way, Steve, if you can't eat any of the seafood, get out." Jerome's tone wasn't loud, but they could feel the threat in his tone.“I was just joking, I w
"And one more thing, you will have to get rid of your mother," Adams dropped another bomb."What? Isn't it ridiculous? How can I kill my own mother?" She began to shiver. How can she kill her mother?"Your mother wouldn't be able to help you. She will only be a stumbling block to your success. If you don't kill her, you wouldn't be able to move on. Just get rid of her, and everything will go on smoothly." She couldn't see the man’s expression so it was difficult to know what he was thinking. “I can't do that. I can't kill my mother.” Mia shook her head continuously. How can she do that?"Think about it carefully. Let me know when you are ready,” the man said and signaled her to walk out.Mia sat silently for a while before getting out of the car.Adams stared at her back. He wasn't worried about her. He knew the kind of woman Mia was. She would do anything to survive.Mia's heart was heavy. If her mother is no longer, who would take care of her unborn baby? She needs her mother alive
