Chapter 550

Author: Lean
I turned around and leaned into his arms, nodding slightly. I looked up at him and muttered, “You’ll get what you want soon enough.”

He cocked his brows playfully. “If we can’t get what we want, we’ll do everything to make it happen.”

“Pervert.” I laughed.

He dropped his casual demeanor, gently patting my back with a comforting tone. “I’ll go with you for the check-up tomorrow.”

“I was planning to buy a pregnancy test kit in a few days…”

He whispered, “But I can’t wait.”

I could sense Frank’s eagerness for this child, and I was excited too. Having a child connected by blood with someone I love. If it weren’t for all the troubles at hand…

But since the heavens had given us a gift, I would choose to accept it.

“Okay.”

The next morning, the first thing I did after getting up and washing was to go see Grandma.

I didn’t expect that Frank had already come back from walking with her.

“Up so early?”

I couldn’t tell if he was praising me or subtly implying I could sleep more. I s

    The gauze was completely soaked. It wasn’t just a little soaked. It had been soaked in water. The wound was serious, but Jack had been careless!The nurse, with a stern expression, wanted to give a serious reminder, but when she saw Jack's gentle face, she smiled helplessly and said, "Mr. Renolds, this wound needs a lot of care. It mustn't come into contact with water again, or it will be troublesome if it gets infected.""Alright, thank you," Jack responded with a smile. He then suddenly seemed to remember something, asking casually, "By the way, I just passed by the second floor and noticed quite a few bodyguards near the gynecology department. Is something happening?"He had just seen Charlotte's back and tried to approach, but was blocked by Frank's people."There's nothing wrong." The nurse's face showed a trace of jealousy. "I heard that Mr. Smith is bringing his fiancee for a check-up. He really treasures this fiancee, and the bodyguards might be to guard against any trouble

    "If it's a daughter, then you…""Haha." Frank let out a short laugh, the corners of his lips curving slightly.But there was no smile in his eyes. "I've noticed that you've become quite spoiled by affection."Hearing his lazy tone, I knew he wasn't really angry.I rubbed my chin against him and told him about the conversation with Jack.Frank tried to maintain his smile. "What do you mean? You want me to send my wife to meet someone who has ill intentions toward her?""Please?" I used my trump card and acted coquettishly. "You have to protect me and the baby, right?"Frank grunted through his nose and then put me back into the car."Wait…" I hurriedly spoke up. "I want to let Grandma know first."Grandma would definitely be very happy to hear about my pregnancy.Frank picked me up again and strode upstairs.I felt that his swift actions were hinting that I shouldn't meet Jack.But Jack mentioned something about Grandma's health, and I couldn't ignore it.At present, Grandm

    The meeting location was sent to my phone by Jack.It was a tranquil and serene tea house.Frank and I walked in together. "Jack."Jack turned around, and when he saw Frank, something flickered in his eyes, and he almost couldn't keep his emotions in check.His gaze briefly swept over my abdomen, and he gave his usual gentle smile. "Charlotte, didn't I ask you to come alone?"For some reason, I felt that something was different, but my subconscious trust in him made me not think too much about it. I smiled and explained, "Jack, Frank doesn't feel at ease letting me go out alone…"Frank held me close and looked at Jack. His brown eyes instantly turned icy, and with a tense tone, he interrupted. "I think the injury in your arm might have damaged the basal ganglia."I was momentarily stunned, then realized what he meant.The basal ganglia were involved in controlling the smoothness and rhythm of speech.Frank was essentially saying that Jack had a big mouth but couldn't speak pro

    The actions were swift and seamless.It was only then that I realized Frank's skills were quite impressive.Jack was kicked far away, sending a table full of teacups crashing down.A waiter approached, and Alan immediately stepped forward to handle the payment."Do you think my girlfriend is someone you can just push around?"I was in Frank's arms, recovering from the shock, and noticed his intense anger.He had always disliked Jack, and now that Jack had dropped his facade, Frank was naturally furious."What do I want?" Jack slowly got up from the floor, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and suddenly laughed. It was a self-deprecating laugh. The atmosphere around him turned dark and oppressive, but he didn't answer Frank's question. Instead, he focused solely on me. "Charlotte, consider what I said.""Frank…" His sudden change of demeanor left me still trembling, my heart pounding. I took a deep breath and looked at Frank. "I want to go home.""Alright."Frank he

    Frank couldn't be bothered to argue with someone like Jack. If it weren't for the sake of the child, he wouldn't want to get his hands dirty with more blood.Now that the antidote was in hand, he never expected that one day he would believe in god.It was all for the child and for Charlotte's lifetime of peace and happiness.Her early life had been too harsh."Even without your antidote, I wouldn't let Grandma come to harm. Put away your filthy thoughts. If you keep trying to harm my wife, I'll make sure you won’t be a man anymore."Jack knew Frank's methods well.Besides Charlotte, no one could tame this lion that bites its prey and never lets go.But Jack wasn't intimidated easily.Covered in mud, Charlotte was his only light. He would never let go. He also… couldn't bear to let go."You won't have a solution. Even if you find someone to develop an antidote, Madam Shaw won't be able to wait that long. Moreover, you can't possibly develop one yourself. The antidote I have is

    "Not necessarily." Frank remained calm and composed. "I've already instructed someone to look into it. We should be able to confirm things by tonight."When we returned to Region Gardens, we happened to run into Dr. Travis, who was there to give Grandma acupuncture.But before I could greet him, Julie ran out, looking flustered."Madam Shaw has collapsed."I quickly ran to the room and threw myself beside Grandma, seeing her bluish lips. Tears instantly filled my eyes. "Grandma!"Frank followed closely behind, knowing I wouldn't be consoled easily. He said, "Charlotte, let's have Dr. Travis check on Grandma."I managed to calm down a little and made space for Dr. Travis.At times like this, I hated that I wasn't a doctor and couldn't do anything.Moreover, Grandma had collapsed on the floor. I didn't know if she had hit her head. If I moved her incorrectly, she might be in even more danger.Seeing me kneeling on the floor, Frank couldn't stand it. "Julie, get me a cushion."J

    Later that evening, before Frank returned, my phone suddenly pinged with a couple of messages."Charlotte, are you really not considering my suggestion?""Don't make things difficult for Frank. He won't be able to get the antidote. Aren't you afraid he might get into trouble?"My fingers tightened around the phone, so much that my fingertips lost their color and my face turned pale. My heart ached.I couldn't help but marvel at how well Jack knew me after all these years. He truly was a good friend.He knew how to get to me.I didn't even dare to imagine what I would do if something happened to Frank…And what about the baby?Could it be that my issues would cost Frank his life?I felt a chill spread through me, staring blankly at Grandma, who was unconscious. I hadn't noticed when my face had become wet with tears."Charlotte, I'm back…"Frank entered and, noticing my tears, frowned and wiped them away. "Why are you crying?""Frank…"I sniffled, only able to call out hi

    Moreover, the current appearance of the Renolds family was just a facade of legitimacy after being separating themselves from the underworld.In the past, I thought Jack was a gentle person and would never do anything against moral principles. Now, I felt worried.I pursed my lips. "I don't want you to get hurt."A gentle smile spread across Frank's brown eyes, and it was quite enchanting. Though he was clearly pleased, he deliberately drawled, "So you're worried about me? I thought Charlotte was just unable to let go of... her feelings for Jack…"I was rendered speechless.I poked his forehead. "You shouldn't be running a company. You should be running a jealousy factory."Frank nodded with a serious expression. "Alright, once I finish dealing with this, I'll find a time to acquire one."My troubled mood finally lifted.I glanced at Grandma, who was still unconscious, and asked, "How confident are you?"Frank held my hand, his lips curling up with a carefree smile. "When I

    Zachary helped her into the car and asked what she wanted to eat.Jane blinked at him wildly.He understood.Nothing was better than gossiping and eating.Zachary had someone ask around."They'll definitely get you the latest and most authentic gossip. Now, let's fill your stomach with real food first."Jane leaned closer to him, resting her chin on his shoulder, and kissed his firm jaw.Zachary sighed. "No junk food."Jane replied, "But I really want to eat fried chicken."Zachary couldn't tolerate the greasy smell.Due to his stomach issues, he couldn't eat much, so he never paid attention to it.His sense of smell was more sensitive than those who were constantly around such strange smells.Moreover, junk food was bad for both her and the baby.There was no need for it."Anything you say today won't work."Jane knew how Zachary was going to react. "You don't have to be with me. I'll go eat it myself. I must eat it, otherwise, I'll be in a bad mood, and the baby will f

    Miranda looked at the blooming flowers in the yard and the pear tree that Jordan liked the most, which was now bearing fruit.In the past, no matter how busy Westley was, he would always accompany Jordan to pick pears when the pear tree bore fruit.When Jordan was a child, she was mischievous and would deliberately boss Westley around, directing him left and right.She would even pretend she couldn't hold the pear and let it fall on his head.She would then apologize in a fake manner and then laugh happily and take a big bite of the pear, savoring it with satisfaction.Westley never got angry and always indulged her with gentle affection.At that time, Miranda watched with great delight and secretly told Jordan's grandfather that they should arrange an engagement for them.But for some unknown reason, after Jordan turned eighteen, things between the two of them began to change.Even when they later took matters into their own hands and arranged for them to get married, they sti

    Five hours later, under the cover of night, Leanne arrived at Westley's hospital bed.She placed the local specialties she had brought from Newcarton on the cabinet beside him.Westley glanced towards the door.He didn't see the person he had hoped for, but he didn't ask.Instead, it was Leanne who took the initiative to speak. "She didn't come, but she asked me to bring you a message."Westley pursed his lips slightly, his instincts told him that it wasn't going to be anything pleasant.Seeing his silence, Leanne wasn't in a hurry. She picked up an apple and began peeling it.Time passed slowly.After peeling the apple, Leanne offered it to Westley, but he refused, so she ate it herself.After eating the apple, she felt hungry and asked Buck to buy her something to eat.Only then did Westley speak up. "Buck?"Leanne nodded, "Yes, your subordinate, Buck."The coldness in Westley's eyes slowly deepened.Leanne, however, smiled, "Westley, I remember, back when Jordan was alm

    "Westley, are you okay?"In the video, the background behind Leanne was a vast, endless desert.Among the yellow sand, there was a soft pink figure, holding a camera and taking pictures."Don’t worry, Westley. I’ll take care of everything for you. I heard that if you don't take care of your illness, you'll only end up as a eunuch. If that's the case, don't blame me for advising you to divorce, after all, I see Jordan as a sister. I can't stand seeing her without happiness."The word "happiness" was purposely emphasized by her.Westley watched with a dark expression, but he couldn't bring himself to end the video call.He muted the sound and just watched the serious yet playful figure on the screen.Jax stood at the door of the ward, relieved when he didn't hear his boss call him.As long as Miss Howard had a solution, it was fine.In Newcarton, in the desert.Leanne took several pictures of Jordan, snapping away.Jordan knew exactly who she would send them to, but she didn't

    Then the call was hung up.He guessed that, within three hours, his boss would definitely arrive.Sure enough, when he was sending Jordan to the airport, he ran into the hurriedly arriving Westley.Jordan didn't want to stay there any longer, and after sending the photos, she immediately planned to leave.Westley's appearance didn't surprise her much.Buck followed along, so he knew she had expected it."How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"Westley grabbed Jordan's hand and thoroughly checked her over.When he saw the red marks on her wrist, his gaze immediately turned cold.Buck quickly said, "It's been dealt with. He won't get away with it."However, Westley still had a very grim expression. He pulled Jordan toward the VIP lounge.Jordan didn't want to go and forcefully tried to shake him off.But she didn't expect that the restraint she could never break free from before was now easily shaken off.She watched in disbelief as Westley collapsed, his abdomen soaked in bloo

    Jordan felt disgusted.It was typical for the man to act so arrogantly."What's going on?" The designer, who had been sending the models off the stage, noticed that the crowd had gathered.He finally made his way through the crowd to the center of the circle.As soon as he saw the man, his expression immediately changed. He smiled obsequiously and said, "Who upset you?"The man raised his hand and pointed at Jordan. "Did you bring her here?"The designer followed the direction of his finger and looked over.Upon seeing Jordan, he immediately understood.This man from the Howard family was known for liking beautiful women, which was why he had invested in the fashion show.In the past, he had turned a blind eye to his investments, but now that it was Jordan, he had to think twice.After all, Jordan was not only a well-known photographer, but also a disciple of Oliver.The Sykes family was not on the same level as the Howard family, but it was still not something he could affo

    Upon hearing the name, Buck sneered.He was nowhere near as powerful as Zachary.Buck couldn’t believe how arrogant they were being with only a little bit of power.He immediately struck with a swift move.The man winced in pain and released his grip.Buck shielded Jordan behind him.The models on stage began to exit.The standoff caught people's attention.They heard a man cursing loudly, "Damn, you dare hit me? I'll make you regret this, whether you believe it or not!""I don't believe it."Buck couldn't be bothered to waste time on such an idiot. He took out his phone and made a call.More people from the audience at the show started gathering around.Some recognized the man and whispered to each other, "Isn't that a member of the Howard family?""I heard he's the brother-in-law of the head of Howard family's."Buck had excellent hearing. When he caught this conversation, he recalled the man's name. It turned out the person was from a branch of the Howard family, kept

    Jordan had nothing more to say and could only show her work to the designer.At the front desk, Buck found the best viewing spot. This way, he could immediately send updates to Westley about Jordan’s situation.At the back of the stage, Jordan took a few simple photos first.The models gathered around and saw the photos she had taken.The casual shots showed her impressive skills."Does you own a studio or a company, Miss?""A company.""Then, Miss, can I book you now? When I get married, I hope you can do the whole process of my wedding photoshoot."Jordan politely declined, "Wedding photos are not my main area of work. I can't take this job, but I can recommend photographers for you."One of the models asked, "What about personal portraits?"Jordan wasn't into those either. "Sorry, most of the time I photograph animals and red carpet events. I don't have time for personal portraits."Suddenly, someone picked up Jordan's work badge."I thought you looked familiar.

    Westley ordered Buck to follow Jordan.Jordan apologized to Jane, "Jane, I'll make it up to you after I'm done."Jane envied her, being able to stay busy with work.She got up to help her tidy up. "Alright, go ahead, be careful on the road.""Okay, you take care and rest more, Jane," said Jordan, putting on her bag."Got it." Jane saw her off.Charlotte said, "I'll head back, I'll take her to the airport."She already knew everything.Jordan was sick, she had said herself she wasn't working.No matter how urgent the job, no matter how close they were as friends, there would always be a solution. There wasn't just one photographer in this world.Although Jordan's talent was unmatched by most people, it was too coincidental.After Zachary finished his call on the balcony, Jordan was about to fly abroad for a shoot.It was hard not to associate this with his influence.She didn't want to stay here and be disliked, so she left.She gave them space.Jane didn't ask anything,
