Chapter 339

Chapter 339 Is She Really Pregnant The woman lowered her head dejectedly, behaving as if she could not explain herself.

Cedrick said in a low voice, “Forget it.

You can leave now.

” +15 Bonus Displeased with the fact that she was reprimanded, her boyfriend retorted, “You were the one who walked out in front of us.

Do you think you’re better than us just because you’re rich? She already said it was an accident.

Why won’t you let it go?” At the end of his utterances, he threw a snowball at Cedrick while Kieran and Treyton were not looking.

The snowball exploded into a flurry of snow at Cedrick’s feet, splattering across the inky black surface of his expensive shoes.

Cedrick did not react in the slightest.

With Treyton’s support, he continued walking and did not look to the side even once.

Treyton, on the other hand, was infuriated.

After entrusting Cedrick to Kieran’s care, he called on the laboratory’s security guards to seize the couple.

The couple made to flee, but the guards caught ahold of them almost immediately.

Treyton glared at them coldly.

“Take them to the police station.

Write them up for slander and intentional assault.

” “Understood.

Rest assured that we’ll get it done, Mr. Treyton.

” Once Treyton was done giving out instructions, he turned around and soon got into Cedrick’s car.

The three of them then sped back to Harrick Villa in the midst of the snowy night.

As soon as the couple were brought to the police station, they were escorted away by people from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The man who had tossed a snowball at Cedrick was currently standing obediently in Craig’s office.

“Mr. Craig, I think Mr. Jenson has gone blind,” he reported.

Craig took his crossed legs off of his desk and sat upright.

“Are you certain?“.

“Yes.

Mr. Jenson needed someone to help him around.

Even though he had sunglasses on, he didn’t react at all when I threw the snowball at him.

However, by right, any normal person would lower their head to take a look.

” Craig’s eyes glinted with surprise as he put his elbow on the table and propped up his chin with his fist.

“How is Mr. Jenson supposed to stay in charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation if he’s blind? It’s about time for him to step down and let someone else take the lead.

” He even began to chuckle at the thought.

“We shouldn’t keep this good news to ourselves.

Tell Yael about it.

He can choose what he wants to do with this information, and whatever he does is none of my business.

” Upon returning to Harrick Villa, Kieran and Treyton planned to rest in their rooms, but Cedrick called them into his bedroom.

In a somber tone, Cedrick said, “Yael wasn’t the one behind what happened in front of the laboratory 1/4 Chapter 339 Is She Really Pregnant today.

It was Craig who planned it.

I assume that they already know about my loss of sight.

” 72% +15 Bonus Kieran and Treyton agreed silently.

They were both smart enough to put two and two together after what had just happened.

Cedrick continued, “Either of them will be itching to overthrow me once they hear about this.

I don’t think tomorrow’s surgery will go smoothly.

” Kieran’s and Treyton’s expressions became grave.

After exchanging looks with each other, they looked at Cedrick at the same time.

Treyton asked, “Since you brought this up, I presume that you already have a plan to solve this?”

Casting his eyes downward, Cedrick quirked his thin lips into a slight smile.

.

Night had fallen upon Chanaea, but it was still daytime in Erihal, near midday.

up Gwendolyn sat in front of her bedroom window, viewing the picturesque scenery outside out of boredom.

In her mind, she was calculating the time difference between her and Cedrick.

Idly, she wondered if he was asleep and if he was dreaming about her.

A knock on the door interrupted her train of thought.

It was Nico who came in with her lunch.

“It’s time for lunch, Ms. Gwendolyn,” he said.

Due to the listening device on the overhead light, he proceeded to sing Charles‘ praises.

“Mr. Lund mentioned that you haven’t had an appetite because you don’t like the food here as much.

He purposely found a Chanaean restaurant here and ordered a few grilled vegetable dishes for you.

” At the sound of some Chanaean food, Gwendolyn could not help but get up and stand before the table to take a look at the tray.

Sure enough, there were a number of Chanaean dishes on the tray that looked perfectly authentic.

It almost felt as if they had been flown in straight from Chanaea.

The dishes looked great, but the smell of grease coming from the food caused nausea to well up in Gwendolyn’s gut.

She tried so hard to hold back her nausea that her face turned pale.

In the end, she could not resist the urge to vomit and made a dash for the bathroom.

Gwendolyn had barely eaten anything for breakfast, and all she managed to vomit was a bunch of watered–down gastric acid.

Her throat was rough and burned faintly from all the retching.

Nico looked in her direction and frowned as he began to realize something.

By the time Gwendolyn was done vomiting and left the bathroom after cleaning herself up, Nico had already turned off the listening device on the overhead light.

He had also locked the windows and bedroom door.

His expression was a serious one, and he hesitated briefly before mustering the courage to ask, “Ms.

Gwendolyn, have you noticed any changes in your physical condition lately?” 2/4 4、肉:72%會 Chapter 339 Is She Really Pregnant +15 Bonus Gwendolyn was massaging her chest as she ruminated on his question.

“I think there are some changes.

I always lack appetite, and I can’t stand the smell of any kind of cooking.

I also feel sleepy constantly.

” Initially, she thought she would have a fair share of sleepless nights due to her constant thinking of Cedrick.

However, she had not lost a single wink of sleep since she arrived in Erihal.

Every night, she fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow.

Nico silently shifted his gaze to her stomach.

“Do you think… you could be pregnant?” “Pregnant?” Gwendolyn was taken aback.

Barely considering that possibility, she continued, “That’s impossible.

I’ve slept with Ceddy multiple times in the past, and I was never able to get pregnant, so why would I get pregnant now of all times…” At the end of her utterances, her whole body stiffened.

Come to think of it, my period is about two weeks late.

Moreover, my recent symptoms really do seem to hint at a pregnancy.

She moved her hands down and gently caressed her belly.

Her gaze then followed her movements.

If that’s true, this baby came at the worst time possible.

Life truly isn’t on my side.

I couldn’t get pregnant when I wanted to, yet this baby came when I didn’t want to be pregnant at all…

The smell coming from the food was causing her stomach to churn again.

With nothing left in her to throw up, Gwendolyn could only dry–heave in front of the sink.

Finally catching on to the situation, Nico covered the food on the table with plates and switched on the air purifier.

Gwendolyn felt extremely nauseous, but she simply could not vomit anymore.

All she could do was suppress her nausea and say hopefully, “We can’t come to that conclusion yet.

Maybe all these symptoms just came from me being in an unfamiliar place or anxiety.

It might not be pregnancy.

” Nico felt miserable at the sight of her discomfort, but there was nothing he could do to help, “Do you want to find a way to verify if it’s just a regular kind of sickness or an actual pregnancy?” he suggested after letting out a sigh.

Gwendolyn sat down on the edge of the bed and contemplated in silence instead of replying to him.

Not only were the two of them held in captivity, but they also did not have a phone.

With no means to communicate with anyone else, there was no way they could get their hands on a pregnancy test kit.

It would be extremely difficult for her to test for pregnancy and hide it from Charles at the same time, considering the situation they were in.

Nico was entirely aware of the tough spot they were in.

“If you’re really pregnant, I’m afraid you won’t be able to hide it from Charles for long, Ms. Gwendolyn.

He’s already preparing to marry you.

If he comes to know that you’re pregnant at such a juncture, what do you think he will do?” With Charles‘ pathologically stubborn personality, Gwendolyn’s possible pregnancy was like a ticking time bomb.

3/4 Chapter 339 Is She Really Pregnant +15 Bonus There was no telling if Charles would explode with anger and do anything crazy after he learned about the matter.

“It’ll be impossible to hide something like this.

Let me think about it,” Gwendolyn replied.

She placed her hands by her sides and unconsciously gripped the blanket.

Nico carried a chair over and sat beside her quietly while gazing at her.

He really did pity her.

She was just a young woman, yet she traveled halfway across the world for Cedrick’s sake.

In order to deal with Charles, she could not relax in the slightest.

As the Harris family’s little princess, if she was indeed pregnant, she should have been pampered and coddled by her family.

Because of the whole situation, however, she was stuck racking her brains to devise a plan to deal with Charles, that psycho.

While Nico continued to stare at Gwendolyn, she had her eyes glued to the floor, still mulling in earnest.

After a couple of minutes, she narrowed her pretty eyes coldly and announced in a firm voice, “Since we can’t hide it no matter what, then I’ll have him help him confirm my pregnancy and accept the fact.
