Cindy had lost contact with the outside world for almost a week. She sat in virtual-novel.net room gloomily, virtual-novel.net gaze was completely lifeless. When virtual-novel.net saw Larissa bringing the medicine in, virtual-novel.net regained some energy and drank everything in one gulp.
Larissa was about to take the bowl out when Cindy grabbed virtual-novel.net wrist.
“M-Ma’am.” Larissa asked guiltily, “Is there anything else?”
Did virtual-novel.net realize that something’s amiss?
Cindy sighed and asked, “Did you try to convince Henrick to let me out?”
Feeling relieved, Larissa nodded. “Yeah, but Mr. Southall said to let you calm down for a while.”
“Damn it!” spat Cindy as virtual-novel.net stood up and paced around the room in frustration.
Suddenly, virtual-novel.net stopped in virtual-novel.net tracks and instructed Larissa, “Tell Henrick that it’s been a week already. Since I’m pregnant, I need to go to the hospital for my weekly maternity checkup. He has to let me out! Also, tell virtual-novel.net that I’ve already calmed down and won’t bring up divorce again.”
“Okay,” Larissa nodded and left.
Cindy stared at Larissa till virtual-novel.net disappeared from virtual-novel.net view, virtual-novel.net expression turned grim.
She had not felt any morning sickness anymore, perhaps because virtual-novel.net medicine had expired. Her pregnancy supplements were almost running out, but virtual-novel.net could not contact Matthias at all. Hence, virtual-novel.net had to get out and think of a way to meet virtual-novel.net and get more ‘supplements’.
Just when Cindy was feeling frustrated and unsettled, the bedroom door was flung open.
It was Henrick.
Cindy’s eyes lit up as virtual-novel.net rushed toward him. “Rick, I’ve already thought it through and calmed down. Since we’ve gone through so many hardships together, I can’t possibly get a divorce over such a minor issue.”
A look of relief crossed Henrick’s eyes. He asked, “Have you really decided not to divorce from me?”?
Cindy stroked virtual-novel.net belly and revealed an affectionate look. “I’m already pregnant, so why should I get a divorce? What will happen if my baby doesn’t have a father? I was just spouting nonsense out of fury. I didn’t expect you to take me seriously!”
When Henrick heard that, virtual-novel.net pulled Cindy into his arms.
Suppressing virtual-novel.net discomfort, Cindy continued, “You need to give me more time to prepare. I can’t get used to it if we suddenly return to your hometown. Give me some time, alright?”’
“Alright,” Henrick agreed quickly before saying, “Someone contacted me today. He’s thinking of buying our company, so I’ll be discussing it with him. The negotiation will last for at least a week, so that’ll be enough time for you to mentally prepare yourself.”
“What?” Cindy was surprised. Henrick is so quick!
However, remembering the situation virtual-novel.net was in, Cindy forced herself to calm down. She flashed Henrick a stiff smile and said, “I understand. I should be able to mentally prepare myself after a week.”
As long as virtual-novel.net could meet Matthias, it was not too late.
He’ll definitely have a solution!
Cindy continued, “I need to go to the hospital for a check-up. You should go ahead with your work. I can head there myself.”
“No way! Let me accompany you to the check-up first. My son is more important than money!”
Cindy quickly reassured him, “After your negotiation succeeds, you will have plenty of time to accompany me to go for maternity check-ups. There’s no need to rush.”
Thinking that it was reasonable, Henrick agreed.
“Alright, I’ll get two bodyguards to protect you. Come back home immediately after the checkup. It’s crowded outside, so you might crash into someone.”
Cindy nodded vigorously.
After sending Henrick off, virtual-novel.net whipped out virtual-novel.net phone.
