Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1369
The bodyguards drew close and stared at Serenity.
“Missus.”
Drawing a few deep breaths, Serenity tried to get a grip on herself. “I’m fine.”
She lowered her head and looked at the urine test results scrunched in her hands. Serenity folded the piece of paper and slipped
it into her pocket before walking away.
The security team followed her out of the hospital and into the hospital’s parking lot.
While walking, the bodyguards prayed that Mr. Zachary was waiting for the missus in the car.
Mr. Zachary had a bad temper, but he was all bark and no bite every time he fought with the missus. Mr. Zachary would never
abandon the missus.
Alas, the bodyguards were in for a disappointment.
They marched behind Serenity to the parking lot, but Zachary’s car was nowhere in sight. Only two vehicles belonging to the
bodyguards were still there.
Serenity cocked her head back and asked, “Where’s your car key?”
With a bodyguard fishing out his car key, Serenity put her hand out. The bodyguard hesitated for a bit before handing the key to
Serenity.
“You can stop following me now.”
“Missus,” the bodyguards cried.
Serenity unlocked the car, pulled the door open, and said, “I’m okay. You can go back to him.” Soon, Serenity drove off.
The bodyguards stood there as Serenity took off with the bodyguard’s car.
Serenity was in a foul mood.

After leaving the hospital, Serenity drove around aimlessly. She simply steered ahead so long as there was a road in front of her.
It was getting dark.
Serenity had no idea how long or how far she had been on the drive. She was on and off the highway, gradually pulling up when
she reached an area where cars were scarce.
Both sides of the road were rows of trees. She was nowhere near a residential area.
Without getting out of the car, Serenity simply sat in the car and stared into blank space.
A while later, she pulled out her phone for a look. There was no activity with her phone; neither an incoming call nor a text
message.
She would not contact Zachary since he was not in touch with her.
Serenity did not believe that she was in the wrong.
Was she at fault to ask for a medical check–up?
They could treat it as an annual health examination if everything was okay.
Early detection called for early intervention. 1
Zachary was used to the people abiding by his orders. He would feel challenged if the situation. was otherwise.
Fine. If he did not want to contact her, then so be it.
Serenity made up her mind to give the sourpuss the snub tonight.
After a moment in silence, Serenity turned the car around and headed for the city center.
She input the Soxes‘ address in the GPS as she had decided to stay the night at her best friend’s place.
Meanwhile, Zachary made a beeline to Wildridge Manor after leaving the hospital.
Tania and her husband were playing chess in the yard.
A maid approached and held her tongue as the couple was deep in chess strategies.

“What’s the matter?”
Liam smiled at his pensive wife before tenderly talking to the maid.
Now that he had retired and kept his hands off the family business, the stern and aloof air around Liam was no more. Liam was a
different person now with his mild manners and good temper. The friendliest face in Wildridge Manor for the servants was Liam.
