Calvin quickly scooped Natalie up and hurried her to a bedroom in the house.Margot immediately instructed the servants to call for a doctor.The group followed them into the room, while Anthony stayed behind to have Regina's casket moved to the hall for the time being.With the immediate plans to return to Emeria on hold, they would have to proceed with Regina's funeral at the manor.As soon as Natalie was placed on the bed, she noticed that the pain in her abdomen had lessened. But she felt a slight trickle of liquid seeping from her body.She sat up and looked at everyone with a weak expression."I should be fine. Don't worry. I just need to use the bathroom."Calvin quickly assisted her. "I'll take you there."Natalie didn't refuse.The couple went to the nearby bathroom under everyone's gazes.Gabriel thought Natalie was probably fine. He decided it was best for him to leave and quietly stepped away.Remembering that Regina's casket was still outside, Curtis turned to M
The doctor quickly and carefully began the examination.When Margot was pregnant and stayed at the manor for a year, Regina had set up various medical devices at home to avoid frequent hospital visits.This included an ultrasound machine, which now proved to be quite handy.Calvin and Margot anxiously stood by. They could feel their hearts racing.They felt a mix of surprise and fear.If Natalie lost her baby at such a critical moment, it would be a devastating blow to the family.Fortunately, the doctor soon identified the pregnancy sac and fetal heartbeat through the ultrasound.In fact, there were more than one heartbeat.He let out a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, the baby is safe."The doctor stood up and smiled at Calvin. "Congratulations, Mr. Morris. Mrs. Morris is indeed pregnant, and she's about six weeks along. Although the fetal heartbeat is a bit unstable, if she takes good care of herself and the pregnancy, everything should be fine."Calvin was stunned.
Suddenly, Gabriel realized the child wasn't his.He got all worked up for nothing.Despite that, he found himself genuinely glad for Natalie.Smiling, he quickly headed back towards the clinic.In the hall, Margot found Curtis and Anthony working on arranging the mourning hall for Regina.They were also setting up the mourning hall for Frederick and Daniel.Seeing Margot approach, Curtis approached her and asked, "How's Natalie? Is she alright?"Margot nodded. "She's fine."She moved to Regina's casket and gazed at the peaceful figure inside. She then spoke softly with tears in her eyes. "Mom, I have some good news. You're going to be a grandmother. Natalie is not only pregnant, but she's expecting twins. Mom, I hope you're as happy to hear this as we are."Curtis was astonished."Natalie is pregnant?"Margot nodded. "Yes, it's confirmed. They're twins."Curtis let out a sigh of relief.This news was a pleasant surprise for everyone.Perhaps the arrival of the babies woul
However, Calvin was hesitant to speak his mind.He feared that making such a decision would disappoint Frederick and the ancestors of the Morris family.Natalie gently withdrew her hand and gently carressed his face."Cal, I will take good care of myself and the babies. You don't have to worry about that. But I need to rest and protect the babies now. I won't be able to accompany you to escort Mom back to Emeria."Calvin quickly reassured her. "We won't be going back for now. Royce has rebelled and taken control of Dad's key subordinates. If we return, we'll have to confront him. I don't want to go anywhere right now. I just want to stay with you and the babies. Don't worry too much. Just take good care of yourself and the babies."Natalie nodded.Calvin thought that the servants should have bought the ingredients by now. He stood up, tucked the blanket around Natalie, and gently kissed her forehead."Get some rest. I'll go prepare some food for you and the babies."Natalie nod
After hearing what Laura said, Anthony appeared disdainful and said, "For all these years, if it weren't because of the Morris family, do you think your family would be enjoying such wealth and comfort you have today?"Now that the country is peaceful, he wants his power back? In his dreams." Anthony looked at Calvin and said, "Ignore what Laura said. We don't have to negotiate with Royce. He doesn't even have the right to negotiate with us. I'll settle this.""Uncle Anthony, please don't." With teary eyes, Laura looked at Anthony and pleaded earnestly, "Please just let us go. With the power the Morris family has now, there's no need to keep us under your control."In the end, you all would be exhausted, and we would also be humiliated. I'm begging you, can you please give him one more chance?"Anthony remained hard-hearted and unaffected by the pleading and begging.Laura knew that it was the hardest to convince Anthony, so she turned to look at Curtis. "Curt, please help me
Calvin looked at Anthony and said, "Get ready, we're leaving immediately.""Okay." Anthony put away the military seal and turned to leave the study.…Margot heard that Laura had arrived, so she quickly came out of Natalie's room to look for her. Just as she arrived at the main hall of the Crosby residence, she ran into Laura, who was running downstairs in tears.Margot called out to her, "Aunt Laura..."When Laura saw Margot, sheimmediately ran toward her. She held Margot tightly and cried even harder."Margot, please save my mother and me. Please ask your brothers to hold back against Uncle Royce. He just wants to reclaim the power that rightfully belongs to the royal family. Can you ask your brother and the others to let him off? I'm begging you, Margot."Margot didn't know that Laura had come to help make peace. She thought Laura was just here for a casual visit. She was stunned when she heard what the young lady said.Laura held Margot's hand and kept crying. "Considering
On the stairs, Curtis replied, "Royce wants Calvin to sign an agreement that prohibits interference with royal affairs for 100 years, which essentially acknowledges the independence of the Emeria royalty. In the future, the Morris family will have no rights except for occupying that piece of land for living in Emeria."Curtis walked down the stairs, approached Margot, and said to her with a firm gaze, "I understand that you feel conflicted because of what Aunt Laura said, but you don't need to get involved in this matter. Let Calvin and the others handle it themselves."Laura was very angry and immediately shouted, "Curtis, how could you do this? After all the care I gave you back then, what are you doing now? Do you really want Uncle Calvin and his family to forever keep our royal family from holding its head high?"Why? Why did the royal family have to live in the shadow of the Morris family for their entire lives? Laura couldn't understand why it had to be that way.She started
Calvin turned to Laura and said, "Go tell your uncle that he should find the missing plane and identify the cause of the accident. I'll let him off the hook after he provides the Morris family with an explanation."Right now, the authority of Emeria was in Royce's hands. Since the Morris family's plane had crashed in Emeria's airspace, it was up to him to handle the situation.If Royce couldn't handle it properly, then Calvin would have to take care of it himself.But as for the agreement, there was no room for negotiation.Seeing that the others had compromised, Laura knew she couldn't push further. She nodded in agreement."Alright, I'll tell Uncle Royce."Turning to Margot, Laura took her hand. With tears welling up in her eyes, she said gratefully, "Margot, thank you. You're such a good person. I believe that heaven will surely bless you."Margot gently squeezed her hand in return and asked with concern, "Are you leaving right away? Why not stay a few more days?"Laura shoo
