Capítulo 982: Chapter 982: You’re Going to Be Big Boss’s Girlfriend?
“Alright then, I can’t really control her. Little Hope, if you get in touch with her, please tell her to be careful while she’s out.”
“Don’t worry, Auntie, I’ll pass on the message if I reach her.”
“Okay.” Lucy Parker was about to hang up the phone when she suddenly remembered something. “Wait, Little Hope, do you think that girl went out for a date with that Wesley Ruiz who visited her at the hospital before?”
Hope Williams didn’t expect Lucy Parker to remember that incident.
Lucy Parker continued to speak without waiting for a response, “That young man is strange too. He hasn’t visited Zoey since. Did they have a fight?”
“Nothing like that, Auntie…” Considering her words might have a double meaning, Hope added quickly, “Auntie, don’t think too much about it. Zoey and Wesley aren’t in a romantic relationship; they’re just ordinary friends.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
Knowing Hope wouldn’t lie to her, Lucy Parker finally accepted that Wesley was not Zoey Sanders’ boyfriend, “Well, alright then, let her be.”
“Hope, can you come in for a moment?” Aria Richardson called her from inside.
“Alright, Aunt Parker, I won’t keep you on the phone any longer. I’ve got something to handle here, but I’ll reach out to Zoey.”
“Okay, thank you, Little Hope. I won’t disturb you then.”
“Goodbye, Auntie.”
Hope hung up the phone and walked inside, attempting to call Zoey Sanders again.
Couldn’t get through.
She was probably on a plane.
Hope sent Zoey a message and then turned off her phone.
Aria, excitedly looking at the machine monitor, said to Hope, “Hope, look quickly, the baby.”
Hope looked at the small, tiny speck on the monitor and smiled warmly.
Even though the baby was still very small, just a tiny little spot…
Aria’s feelings were indescribable, filled with excitement that brought tears to her eyes.
“Doctor, can you tell if the baby’s a boy or a girl yet?”
“The baby is still too small to tell.”
“It’s okay, whether it’s a boy or a girl, I’ll love them both,” Aria cheerfully said while lying on the bed.
After the examination, the nurse handed her a couple of tissues to wipe off the coupling gel from her belly. Once she tidied up her clothes, Aria stood up.
The doctor advised, “You’re in the early stages of pregnancy, so you need to get plenty of rest. This period can make you feel drowsy, fatigued, more sensitive to certain smells, and cause nausea and vomiting. Don’t think it’s a terminal illness.”
The doctor had clearly overheard her earlier comments and couldn’t resist a gentle reminder.
Aria blushed slightly, “I know, I was just preparing for the worst.”
Hope shook her head with a helpless smile.
The doctor continued, “In the early stages of pregnancy, you can start taking folic acid to prevent neural tube defects in the fetus and ensure the baby’s health. Also, remember to come for regular prenatal check-ups.”
“Okay, I understand, thank you, Doctor.”
After giving the instructions, the doctor allowed them to leave.
Until she got into the car, Aria’s emotions were like a roller coaster, tense yet excited, eager to fly to Wyatt Lewis’ side and share the good news.
“Where to? Home, or to the office to share the news with Wyatt?”
Aria thought for a moment, “Let’s not bother him yet. We’ll go home first, and I’ll tell him when he comes back tonight.”
Hope nodded in agreement and glanced down at Aria’s high heels, reminding her, “Now that you’re expecting, put those heels away for a while.”
“I understand. I’ll lock them in the cabinet when we get back, and I promise not to wear them until after the baby comes.”
Hope’s phone dinged several times. She picked it up to check; it was a reply from Zoey.
Zoey: Just arrived! What did my mom say?
Hope typed quickly: Told you to stay safe.
Zoey continued to ask: Aunt Williams, did you tell my mom that I went to country Y?
Hope: No, I guessed from how Auntie was talking that you kept it from her on purpose, so I didn’t mention it.
Zoey: Thanks a million! If my mom knew, she’d have a million questions. I’ll tell her when I get back.
Hope: Keep yourself safe.
Zoey: Don’t worry, Aunt Williams. My brother assigned a bodyguard to me.
Hope gave her a few more reminders before setting down her phone.
Meanwhile, on Zoey’s side.
Following the address Hope had given her, Zoey arrived at a large ancient castle. She took a deep breath, mustering the courage to approach, the first obstacle being an ornate wrought iron double gate.
Zoey pressed the doorbell, waited for a long while, but no one came out.
Zoey found it odd. Such a big place, and no one was around?
She rang the doorbell again.
Unbeknownst to her, after stepping into this territory, assassins lurking in the shadows had already aimed numerous guns at her.
Nearby, one of the hidden assassins, bored, found the girl standing at the gate and peering in amusing. “Hey, a little girl has come.”
“To step so boldly onto the Big Boss’s turf, she must have a death wish.”
“Probably wandered in by accident. Let’s just shoo her away.”
“Accident? How can anyone wander in here by mistake? Could she be a spy?”
“Would a spy be dressed in a skirt and wandering around the gate like that?”
“Exactly, idiot, thinking everyone’s a spy is why you’re single.”
“As if you have one.”
“All of you, shut up.” Wesley Ruiz approached, sternly reprimanded them, “Got so much time on your hands to chat?”
The group instantly returned to their usual cold and murderous demeanor upon seeing Wesley, but one couldn’t resist adding, “Brother Ruiz, should we chase away the girl at the gate?”
Wesley glanced toward the gate and saw Zoey.
Hope had previously informed him, so Wesley wasn’t too surprised.
“No need, she’s here to see the Big Boss. You chase her away, and you’re going to be his girlfriend?”
