Mrs. Murphyâs expression also changed, although she had already heard about this matter from Lizbeth, hearing it from Edmond carried a different weight.
But Mrs. Murphy, born into a prominent family, quickly made up her mind after a brief thought. She looked at Erin and smiled lightly, âIs that so, Ms. Erin? This is good news indeed.â
Erinâs lips curved into a slight smile as she nodded, âYes.
However, Mrs. Murphy immediately added, âIâm also eager to have a grandchild. Iâm delighted to hear this news. How about I take Ms. Erin to Murphy Hospital tomorrow for a comprehensive check-up? I need to take good care of you for the sake of my grandchildâs birth.â
âI think thatâs a good idea,â Lizbeth chimed in, âAnd maybe Ms. Erin can get some prenatal nutrition supplements while sheâs there.â
Upon hearing his mother and sisterâs suggestions, Edmond thought they made sense. He turned to Erin and said, âErin, why not follow my motherâs suggestion? I can accompany you to the hospital tomorrow.â Erinâs face had turned waxen and then pale in an instant. She forced a nervous smile and said, âItâs not necessary to go through all this trouble. Itâs my body, and Iâll take care of it.â
I have experience. Mrs. Murphy smiled. âGetting a check-up is beneficial. After all, youâre a part of the Murphy family now, and we must take care of you!â
Erin suddenly felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
Her heart was pounding. What should she do? What should she do now?
What could she do when there was no baby in her belly?
If she underwent the examination, would she survive after being exposed in Altney?
Even Edmond would question her?
This man wasnât known for being lenient or forgiving!
Orâ¦
Erinâs mind racedâ¦
Maybe she could go for a urine test tomorrow. That way, she could ask a pregnant woman in the restroom for help.
After all, the âpregnancyâ period was short, and an ultrasound wouldnât reveal anything. The doctor would only ask her for a urine sample.
In a flash, Erin made up her mind. Her expression changed, and she feigned a bashful look, saying.
âThat works too. How about we go to the hospital tomorrow? That way, everyone can rest assured after the examination.â
Mrs. Murphy hadnât expected this woman to agree. It seemed she was indeed pregnant.
The only question now was whose child she was carrying.
No matter, she would gradually extract that information from her.
Hmph, the truth will come out sooner or later!
Meanwhile, in the Imperial Capital.
Adrien received a call from Abel.
âAbel,â Adrien said, âSuddenly remember your brother here?â
âLizbeth with you?â Abel asked directly.
Adrien was taken aback. Why did Abel, of all people, suddenly ask for Lizbeth?
Wait, wait, whatâs going on here?
âAbel,â Adrien said seriously, âAre you sure youâre not making a mistake?â
âOf course not,â Abel replied, âI didnât forget. Is Lizbeth with you? Did she go back to Altney with Edmond?â
âYeah, Adrien grew even more confused, âLiz and Emma are friends. They even said their goodbyes to each other before leaving. But why are you suddenly concerned about Liz? Is it because she looks like Emma?â
âWhy are you so talkative?â Abel sneered. âWho said I missed Lizbeth? Maybe I do have something to deal with?â
âWhat is going on?â Adrien felt puzzled.
He knew Abel wasnât one to make casual jokes. If he said he had something to deal with, he definitely did.
And if he specifically asked about Lizbeth and Erin, it wasnât something good. Adrien could sense it from his tone.
âWhatâs the matter?â Adrien asked, âJust tell me straight!
âThat woman named Erin, Abelâs voice turned icy, âHas she been with Edmond?â
âAbel,â Adrien was lounging on the sofa, but he sat up straight now, âAre you sure youâre not speaking in riddles? Tell me quickly, whatâs happened with Lizbeth and Erin? Why are you mentioning both of them?!â
âThe person responsible for the hit-and-run incident involving Lizbethâs car has been apprehended,â
Abel explained, âHe confessed that Erin was behind it.â
âErin⦠Adrien drew a sharp breath, âHer? It doesnât make any sense.â
