Chapter 357

Author: Saltfish Dreams
Lucas held Bailey's wrist. "Don't mess around. I'm asking you a serious question."

"And I'm being serious," Bailey retorted. "What makes you think I'm pregnant? Or are you imagining that I am?"

Lucas' eyes twitched. He pressed his lips together before saying, "I saw the pregnancy tests in the washroom."

The washroom? Pregnancy tests?

"Oh." She dragged the sound out. "That's what you're talking about. They aren't mine. Anyway, I'm only 24. I haven't had enough fun yet; I don't want to have kids so early in life."

Lucas felt like he'd just taken an emotional rollercoaster as his mood went from ecstatic to despondent in a split second. The pregnancy tests weren't hers? Then, she wasn't pregnant.

He couldn't help feeling a little upset when he heard her deny the pregnancy so quickly. He'd been trying to get her pregnant, but she was much too good at ensuring that they both took the necessary precautions.

Lucas pursed his lips. "Whose tests are those, then? Who would've come over her

    Lucille didn't see Spencer around when she returned to Sparrow Residence. Herbert told her he'd yet to return.She checked the time and saw it was already 7:30 pm. He would usually already be home at this hour. She checked her phone, but she didn't see any messages from him. She raised an eyebrow and texted him instead.Spencer was still hard at work. He sat at the main seat in the conference room, his expression icy and ruthless. His eyes seemed to be able to see through anyone, and nobody dared to speak when they saw the frosty look in his eyes.Spencer wasn't happy with their proposal. Before this, he'd still kindly pointed out the problems in the proposal.But as the meeting went on, the employees found the atmosphere in the conference room growing more grim and tense. They felt as though they were standing on a thin layer of ice above a gaping abyss. No one dared to even breathe loudly.Just then, Spencer's phone vibrated. He picked it up, his expression still stormy. He lowe

    Spencer watched as Lucille's lips moved. Suddenly, his gaze turned fiery. He wanted nothing more than to drag her into his arms and have his way with her. Instead, all he did was smile affectionately and say, "Alright."Lucille sat on the carpet and placed her laptop on the coffee table before her. Then, she grabbed a cushion from the couch behind her and held it in her arms.Halfway through his video conference, Spencer sneaked a look at her. He saw her looking at her laptop seriously; her fingers never once ceased from flying across the keyboard. He wondered what exactly she was typing.Aside from Spencer occasionally speaking fluent Faelisian, the sound of Lucille's nails tapping on the keyboard was the only sound in the room. The scene was surprisingly heartwarming—they were busy with their respective tasks but could see the person they loved as long as they looked up.Lucille was looking at the information on a new research project that Patrick had shared with her. The resea

    Lucille first kissed Spencer on the forehead before moving down to his lips. This was their first time kissing in such a position.Lucille's plan had been to just peck Spencer on the lips, but he reached up to cup the back of her head before she could move away. He pulled her to him again and nipped on her lips. Then, his tongue slipped into her mouth, and he took control of the kiss.Their tongues became entangled in a passionate dance; it was as if they were tasting the world's best delicacy.Spencer was the first to stop the makeout session. He and Lucille buried their heads against each other's necks as they tried to catch their breaths. He asked huskily, "What was the important thing you wanted to tell me, Mrs. Layton?"Lucille took a while to calm down. Then, she straightened up and cleared her throat. "Let's go get medical checkups done tomorrow."Spencer looked confused. "Why?""So that we can prepare to have a kid," she said. Before this, her plan had been to just go wit

    Mack returned soon. The secret guards were always watching over Lucille and protecting her, so he only needed to ask them to find out what had happened. He told Spencer about who Lucille had been with, where she'd gone, and who she'd run into.Spencer leaned back in his seat and crossed his legs elegantly as he listened to Mack. After a moment, he raised an eyebrow. "They went to the hospital? Who's pregnant?""Ms. Lennon, sir."Spencer hadn't expected that. He asked, "Ian doesn't know, does he?"Mack hesitated before saying, "I doubt it. Our people asked the doctor, and she said Ms. Lennon seems to be considering getting an abortion."Spencer smirked. "Looks like Ian's in for a rough ride."Mack fell silent. Why did he feel like Spencer seemed pretty gleeful at the thought? He asked, "So… should we inform Mr. Moore about this?"Spencer glanced at him. "Whose man are you?""Huh? Yours, sir." As soon as the words were out of Mack's mouth, he realized what Spencer meant. Was the

    "Or are you afraid that people have no idea you want to be a homewrecker?" Eunice asked.Serena stiffened and paled. Why was Eunice so sharp and ruthless today?Eunice ignored her and continued, "Don't panic. You just want to get rid of me so you can be with Ian, right? You've waited long enough; what does it matter if you have to wait a little longer?"She turned to leave. But before she did that, she said, "Allow me to congratulate you in advance for getting what you want."After that, she left. Celine returned to her senses and hurried after her.Serena was left standing there. She clenched her fists and gnashed her teeth—Eunice's words were akin to a slap to the face. It was fortunate there weren't many people outside the studio. But what did Eunice mean with that final sentence?An idea occurred to her. Could it be that Eunice and Ian were getting a divorce?…"Are you okay, Eunie?" Celine caught up with Eunice and cautiously took in the latter's expression. She couldn't

    "What? Do I look like a shock to you or something?" Bailey kicked Lucas' calf and glared at him.He said, "Not at all. You're a stunner. Is that okay?"Bailey didn't argue with him on that. She was there on a mission, so she cut to the chase. She asked, "Do you have a copy of Mr. Layton's medical reports?"Lucas didn't say anything. Spencer's prediction had come true. He pushed his glasses higher up his nose and asked, "Why do you want to know?"Bailey said, "Because I need it for something, of course."Lucas said slowly and firmly, "That's part of a patient's privacy. Without the patient's permission, I have no right to tell you anything or give you any information on his condition."It's a part of the hospital's policy—keeping a patient's information private and confidential is a doctor's basic duty and principles."Bailey hadn't expected him to refuse her. "But you're the dean of the hospital!"In other words, she was saying that the hospital belonged to him. If he didn't ha

    Lucille answered the phone soon. Bailey sighed deeply and said, "The mission has ended in failure, babe."Lucille wasn't surprised by this. Bailey went on to describe in detail how Lucas had bullied her. Lucille's eyes twitched when she heard, and she said helplessly, "Are you sure that's considered bullying? Aren't you just telling me how in love you guys are?"Bailey had nothing to say in response. Lucille continued, "Anyway, what's going on with you two?"Bailey said truthfully, "One of us wants to marry and the other doesn't yet."Lucille placed a hand on her forehead in exasperation.Meanwhile, Lucas told Spencer about Bailey coming to him. Honestly, Spencer was probably the only man who would do something as rash as that when he didn't already have kids. It all boiled down to him loving Lucille too much and not wanting to see her life being placed at risk at all.Lucas sighed to himself and shook his head. Then, he headed to the conference room.On the other side, it was

    Ian was Marcus' youngest son and had been born to him when he was older. Ian was also Marcus' most outstanding and ruthless son—he was the cream of the crop in every aspect.His main base of operation was in West Yodran, not Whiteloop City. However, the people in Whiteloop City were still familiar with him. In Summeria, he was only second to Spencer in terms of his ruthlessness.Now, a tall, slender, and beautiful woman stood by his side. Everyone wondered whether she was his rumored wife.Five years ago, Ian—one of Summeria's most eligible bachelors—had suddenly announced that he was married. No one had heard anything about him having a wedding, though. There was also the fact that he'd basically gone everywhere alone over the past five years.When attending banquets or gatherings, he would generally have a fixed female companion. The woman with him wasn't her, though. That companion was much prettier than the one he had with him today and also more elegant.It was Marcus' birthd

    In the bathroom, Lucille was relaxing as she enjoyed the care she was receiving from Spencer. They had seen each other like this for too long, and they had gotten used to it by now. Of course, it had taken her time to get used to it. Every time she was injured, she would end up receiving this treatment, but… While she might have gotten used to it, it was still a kind of punishment for Spencer."Honey, your shirt is wet. Why don't you take it off?"She noticed that half of his black shirt was wet and sticking closely to his body. The wet shirt perfectly outlined his muscular build.She couldn't help but gulp. This was pretty deadly to her too.He was wearing a black shirt with two buttons undone, revealing a glimpse of his collarbone. Coupled with his handsome face, he looked simply irresistible. Her heart couldn't help but race. As he carefully wiped her arm, he avoided the injury on her right hand. It was already torture for him to help her bath. However, when he suddenly he

    "So, you can't blame Eunie for not telling you, and you can't blame us for keeping you in the dark."In other words, Ian had brought it upon himself, and there was no one else to blame but himself.Ian was rendered speechless. He'd never thought that this was how Eunice saw him—a ruthless person who would get rid of his own child.He mocked himself inwardly. He also felt hurt, as if something were stabbing him.After Lucille was done talking, she saw Ian look visibly upset and didn't say anything. So, she whispered to Spencer, "Do you think I went too far with what I said earlier? Can he take it?"Spencer rubbed her head and said, "Don't worry. He can take it. Besides, what you told him is the truth. If he can't handle it, he isn't worthy to be our buddy."Lucille nodded in agreement after she heard that. What Spencer said made sense. She felt at ease after he comforted her.After a while, Ian finally spoke up again. "So, I shouldn't go and look for her?"Lucille was surprised

    "I'm here for you!"Upon hearing that, Lucille was rendered speechless. On second thought, she realized this was fine too.Then, she looked at Spencer and blinked before she said, "Don't leave me. I'm injured right now, so I can't fight him."Ian glowered at her words, feeling at a loss for words. Did he look like someone who would lay a hand on a woman?Spencer looked at her dotingly and responded, "Okay. I won't leave you."Ian was just flabbergasted now."What's the matter, Ian?" With Spencer to back her up, Lucille felt at ease. Even if she hadn't said anything, she knew Spencer wouldn't have left her alone with Ian.Ian suddenly smiled. "It looks like you have quite the luck. The hospital is practically your second home."Lucille was rendered speechless. Then, she smiled and looked at Spencer before she provoked Ian. "My home is wherever my husband is. We're not like some people, for whom having a wife seems to make no difference whatsoever." She'd never lost to anyone b

    Ian turned to look at Lucas. It was obvious that he seemed to be wondering why Lucas had asked that. When Lucas saw Ian's expression, he knew that Ian had never thought about it. In other words, he had no recollection of what he had done and said."I'm going back to be with my wife. You guys just carry on." Spencer stood up and smoothed out the creases on his clothes as he spoke indifferently. After all, it had been a while since he'd left the ward.With that, he strode toward the door without waiting for the others to say anything. Connor was eager to see how things would unfold, so he didn't leave.…Meanwhile, after Beatrice left, Spencer returned to the hospital ward. When Lucille saw him coming in, she asked, "Where have you been?"He took off his coat and put it aside. Then, he walked to the bed and sat down. "I went to investigate some stuff."Lucille figured out what it must have been about and asked, "You went to investigate Alexander and my mom?"Spencer, who wa

    "Ian, what brings you here?" Connor had no idea about Eunice's situation in Arcania, so he was quite surprised when he saw Ian.Although he was surprised, he wasn't blind. He could see that Ian had a hostile air about him.Looking puzzled, Connor glanced at Lucas, who was seated next to him, for an explanation. After all, he knew Spencer wouldn't tell him.After Ian came in, he didn't even bother to sit and directly asked, "Where is she?"Last night, he'd received Lucas' message—the latter had told him that he knew Eunice's location and wanted him to come to Arcania immediately. That was why Ian had rushed to Arcania without any delay.Lucas hadn't told him the exact location. Instead, he'd just told Ian to come to the hospital. Ian had thought that something had happened to Eunice and that she was hospitalized. So, he'd rushed to the hospital as soon as he'd gotten off the plane. However, after he'd come to his senses, he'd gotten someone to check the hospital's patient list.

    Before Beatrice spoke, she looked at the entrance of the hospital ward. After ensuring that no one was coming, she said, "Although we found out that all four of Mr. President's children's last names are Vonridge, they don't seem to be his biological children."Lucille widened her eyes, looking surprised. She cocked an eyebrow and asked, "What did you just say?""They were adopted from the orphanage. Our database has their information, and it's a 100% match," Beatrice replied.Lucille naturally wouldn't doubt that the information in Otearl Alliance's database was incorrect. However, she had never heard anyone mention this before.At the same time, Spencer, who had just left, had gone to investigate something as well.After they'd returned in the afternoon, he'd instructed Kent to conduct an investigation. The news that Kent came back with shocked Spencer to the core.Connor and Lucas were also there. They were in a lounge."Spence, how could Lucille's mom also know Alexander?"

    Diana let out a long sigh. Her words were tinged with helplessness and regret. "This is your aunt. She hasn't appeared for more than 20 years. I never expected her to be gone for this long. There has been no news from her. She must hate me very much."Samantha had no idea what had happened. Her aunt's name and everything related to her had always been taboo in the Crawford family."Is it possible that Ms. Deer is my aunt's child?" Samantha asked.If that was the case, it was quite a coincidence.Diana looked at the photo album in her hands. After a brief silence, she said, "I want to meet her. Don't tell anyone about this for now."Samantha nodded. "Okay."…Meanwhile, in Arcania, Alexander also left the venue after Lucille and the others left.After Alexander left, he immediately had someone to investigate Lucille's past. Back then, after Jane had suddenly left, she had covered all her tracks. No matter how Alexander had searched, he hadn't been able to find her. There hadn't

    When Diana took a closer look, her hands, which had been leisurely tapping on the armrests, suddenly froze.At first, Samantha didn't notice anything unusual about her reaction."Grandma, the best thing I got out of this trip was getting a photo with my idol." She went on and on. "It's the first time I got to see Ms. Deer's real face, and she's very beautiful. No wonder she always wears a veil. Although she looks aloof, I think the way she talks sounds gentle."By the way, she is married. Her real name is Lucille Johnson, and she's from Whiteloop City in Summeria. There was an unexpected incident during the competition, and it was quite despicable. I didn't expect her family to turn out completely different from how I'd imagined them to be."Samantha pouted as she stared at the photo of her and Lucille. She'd always thought that someone outstanding like Lucille would have a perfect family; she hadn't expected things to turn out like that.After the competition had ended, Samantha

    Meanwhile, after Samantha had participated in the perfumery competition, she'd stayed in Whiteloop City for about a week before returning to Crawford Residence in Marvonia.She had been declared the champion of this year's perfumery competition. After she'd returned, she'd chosen to keep a low profile and hadn't celebrated or gone around boasting about it.However, she'd forgotten that Natasha Crawford, her mother, had a strong sense of pride.Since Samantha had been young, she'd had to excel in everything and come in first to meet Natasha's expectations. Only then could Natasha hold her head high and brag about Samantha in front of everyone. At the same time, she could enjoy the flattery from those around her.So, the day after Samantha had returned, Natasha had gathered everyone and thrown a party to celebrate her victory. The room had been filled with people she hadn't known, but they'd all been important figures. That night, after making an appearance, Samantha had left the
