Despite her reluctance, Yuliana couldn’t afford. to lose David as he was her cash cow. She had no choice but to call her mother and inform her about the situation. Winnie was consumed with anger upon hearing about the situation and couldn’t stop cursing Roxanne.
“Yuliana, what should we do next? You should return to David’s side. You’re too easy to find here, and the Farwell family is a powerful enemy. I’m still here, and we’ll find a chance to retaliate. There’s no way we’d let this slide without putting up a fight! I’ll make sure they get a taste of their own medicine when I have the chance to harm the three children!”
Winnie was currently basking in the luxurious life of owning two houses and dreaming of her prosperous future. Little did she know that Roxanne would stir up trouble at this very moment.
Not only did Roxanne refuse to acknowledge their stepmother-stepdaughter relationship, but she even had the audacity to target Yuliana, her precious daughter. Hence, Winnie would definitely avenge her daughter.
“Mom, I understand. I’ll leave soon. When Yosef returns, tell him to keep a low profile and not provoke Roxanne. She’s out for blood and will target anyone she can. We’ll have our chance for revenge later. And forget about that loser, Grant. Leave him!”
The mother-and-daughter duo acted as if they were never going to see each other again. Roxanne, on the other hand, knew nothing about their conversation. All she knew was that she was thoroughly disappointed in that family.
She had found a new family, one that could serve as her safe harbor and her source of support. Lucian finally breathed a sigh of relief when Cayden reported to him that Yuliana had left Horington that same night.
That night, Roxanne’s stomach churned violently. It was unclear whether it was due to her agitation earlier in the day that her stomach was acting up. She ran into the bathroom and started retching.
Seeing how uncomfortable she was, Lucian patted her back gently and asked what she ate that day to cause an upset stomach. However, Roxanne lifted her head, her lips curling into a sweet smile.
Lucian was stunned for a brief moment before he understood the meaning behind her smile. A look of surprise crossed his face. “Really? Are you sure?” he asked urgently. Roxanne gave him the side eye. “Don’t forget that I’m a doctor!”
“Take your own pulse and confirm it!” Lucian could barely tamp down his excitement. Roxanne shook her head as she splashed water on her face. “There’s no point in doing that as it’s too early to detect anything. But I’m pretty sure I’m pregnant. My period has been late for over ten days. Besides, I ate the same food as you today. There’s no reason for me to have a stomach bug when you’re doing fine,” she calmly stated her judgment.
Lucian’s face lit up with a broad smile as he jumped up and down in joy, making a triumphant gesture with his hands.
“I’m so happy! This is great! Our baby is finally on the way. It took so long that I’m beginning to think something’s wrong with me,” he said half- jokingly.
The next second, however, Lucian began worrying about Roxanne’s busy schedule. He told her solemnly, “Once we confirm that you’re indeed pregnant, you have to adjust your daily and work routine. I won’t allow you to work too hard.”
Roxanne’s eyes sparkled with joy as she obediently nodded. It was possible for her to relax for the time being as the research institute, hospital, and Flora Verba Group were all managed by capable individuals.
I should take the chance to give birth to a baby boy! No, not a boy. A little girl would be better. Essie keeps saying she wants a baby sister and that she’ll be an amazing big sister.
That night, the couple stayed up till the wee hours, excitedly chatting about their plans after the baby was born.
