If I'm right, that is where pregnant women go for check-ups. Could it be that...
If I'm right, that is where pregnant women go for check-ups. Could it be that...
A thought popped up in Lionel's mind, making him extra careful about jumping to conclusions.
Are we having a child?
“You're right, Mr. Gezmond. Ms. Saunders is pregnant. We managed to track her down because she went to the hospital for a
checkup.”
Lionel turned to leave via the garden exit, but he stopped when he recalled that Wendy was still behind him.
“Send someone to watch her twenty-four-seven. Don't lose her again. I'll be in Belmonia Island in two days. Don't leave her out
of your sight until I reach.”
“Don't worry, Mr. Gezmond. I will keep watch.”
When Wendy saw the unconcealable happiness on Lionel's face even after he hung up, she asked, “Did something good
happen?”
Lionel did not hide the truth from Wendy since she had already come to terms with her own feelings and acknowledged that
Holden was the man she loved, so she would not do anything irrational out of jealousy.
“Victoria is in Belmonia Island. She's pregnant.”
Wendy was momentarily stunned, but she quickly snapped out of it and said, “Then what are you waiting for? Go to Belmonia
Island to find her. She is in her most helpless moment now. If you go to her now, she will slowly come to depend on you.”
Lionel would like to fly over immediately too, but he hesitated because Sebastian was still in danger.
“I'm not in a rush. We can wait until Sebastian is out of the woods.”
Wendy smiled and stood up to push Lionel out of the garden. “There's nothing you can do by staying here anyway. Only Holden
can solve this problem. It will be hopeless if even someone like Holden can't save Sebastian.”
“But—”
“No buts. Just go to Victoria. Also, ask her to call me if she doesn't believe what you say. I'll explain everything to her.”
Despite Wendy's persuasion, Lionel still felt concerned. “Okay. If you want me to go to Belmonia Island, then you'll have to stay
at Holden's. I can't just leave you here alone at the Gezmond residence.”
Wendy's first reaction was to disagree, but Lionel did not even give her a chance to do that. “If you don't, I'll stay here until
Holden saves Sebastian.”
Wendy glared at the man, knowing full well what his intention was.
Lionel still had hopes that things would work out between Holden and Wendy, so he was trying to create an opportunity for them
to spend time together.
However, after going through all the heartbreak and betrayal, Wendy was no longer sure if she could still love the man the way
she used to.
She could tolerate his desertion, but she would never be able to come to terms with the fact that Holden approached her with an
ulterior motive.
That was why she was devastated when she learned that the bodyguard she had fallen for was Tarragon's vice president,
Holden Lewitt.
She would feel a suffocating pain in her heart whenever she thought that Holden had gotten close to her just to gather
intelligence to control Zaewora.
“He lost his memory, Wends, so he might have lied to you. You should do some digging yourself to find out the truth about his
departure.”
Wendy pursed her lips, clenching her jaw. “He stole intelligence from me and caused the Hoffman family to lose control over
Zaewora—that is reality, Nell. You don't have to find excuses for him. I know in my bones what he did to me.”
Lionel shook his head. “Fine. Then don't ask me to go to Belmonia Island, either. I don't think I can leave you here with you in
such a state. I'm afraid you'd go to the resort and end up getting bullied by those old geezers.”
“No. I will go to Holden. As you said, there are things I need to find out, so call him, Nell. Ask him if I can go over to stay at his
mansion,” Wendy said with resolution in her eyes.
Lionel smiled and patted the back of her head. “That's more like it. Now you're looking like the same strong and determined
woman you used to be in the past. I'll call him now.”
That night at Century Hotel in Hallsbay, Cosmetico's owner booked the entire third floor to hold a banquet for all the tycoons in
the business and political spheres.
Since Bailey was curious about the mysterious woman, she followed Artemis to the banquet, but the children, bored as they
were at home, insisted on following as well.
So, Artemis held the two boys in each hand and shoved them in the car at the back before carrying his daughter to the one in
front, holding Bailey's hand.
“Ratemis, how could you treat your sons like that? Don't ever expect us to take over your business for you in the future since you
like your daughter that much. Just have her do it instead,” Zayron complained while Susan giggled in Artemis' arms.
“Daddy, who are Zayron and Maxton to you?” she asked.
Artemis pinched her cheek, answering casually, “They're nothing to me.”
At the sight, Bailey could not imagine what would happen if she were to have another daughter because by then, not only would
the two boys be neglected, even she herself might not get much attention from Artemis.
Bailey's thought did not go unnoticed by Artemis, so he put Susan down in the front seat and fastened the seatbelt around her
before sitting down beside Bailey and whispering in her ear, “You're different. I'll give you all my love. I will satisfy you and make
you feel like you're on cloud nine every day.”
