Lanre nodded faintly and drove off. Besides staying to observe his aunt, there isn’t much he has to do that morning.
He would stop by in his apartment and see the other servants before returning to the hospital.
He called Julia and he said he was fine. He woke up when he ought to and it seemed he would overcome his insomnia soon.
Lanre was happy as expected of a doctor whose patient is responding to treatment.
Lanre said if he feels anything unusual, he should inform him immediately. Looks like Julia is not reacting to the medication this time.
Few hours through the day’s work, Carol Li called Theresa. She said they were going to see the wedding dress. She asked if she could make it from work?
Theresa wondered if she had to go to see her mother-in-law. Her measurements were already sent to the designer who wants to handle the dress.
All the same, she agreed and decided she would go. She went to inform Junxie Li that she was going to Li’s residence to see his mother.
Junxie Li said she should go in the company of some bodyguards. They were not to take things for granted simply because Alex Si has been handled.
Theresa Mo said ok. And as she wants to leave, Junxie said he would accompany her. They got into the car and Junxie Li instructed the Chauffeur to take them to the hospital first.
When they arrived, he asked that she have a pregnancy test. Theresa smiled. She wondered why Junxie Li had said they should come to the hospital.
He wants to have her tested for pregnancy. She was happy as she was treated with respect.
She is President Li’s fiance. Some already knew they were getting married. She was going to be the young madam of the family.
She remembered the first time she went for a pregnancy test, she met her brother but didn’t know he was her twin.
She was shivering, afraid to take the result from his hand. She doesn’t know who got her pregnant and she doesn’t have a home of her own.
When the results came positive, she was like the wall should have a crack and she disappeared through it.
It was Lanre who helped her and saw her through those difficult times. Thank goodness, she can now look back to those times and smile.
The results was out and Junxie Li collected them. Theresa was straining her neck to read what’s written inside.
“It’s positive right?” Theresa asked. She looked at Junxie’s poker face. She wants to read what’s on that face of his.
“What I can read here is that you are carrying my baby and I am going to be a father again..” Junxie Li announced.
Theresa smiled, her eyes welled up and she glanced at Junxie. They were alone in that office. His hand lingered on her belly, feeling the warmth of her flat belly.
His baby is in there but definitely tiny like the seed of a pea. Theresa placed her hand on his, and saw Junxie Li concentrated on feeling her belly.
The joy and excitement in his eyes makes her feel teary. When a drop of her tears fell on Junxie’s hand, he paused and looked at her.
” I’m With you this time. And I promise to be with you as often as I can” Junxie said and brought out his white handkerchief, wiping her tears off.
When they came out of the executive chairman’s office, they met Lanre again. He was surprised they came around again.
” Guess what Lanre, I am pregnant!!” Theresa Mo announced. She was beaming with a smile and looked at her brother.
Lanre smiled. She asked him to guess and didn’t give him a chance to guess. She’s happy that she’s pregnant.
This is a complete contrast to how she felt when she got pregnant the first time. She was holding hands with Junxie and her excitement cannot be hidden.
” Congratulations sister, honestly I am happy for you” Lanre congratulated Junxie as well. The two men smiled and said nothing else.
” How’s Aunt?” Theresa asked. Since Lanre has decided to be living in Li’s hospital simply because aunt Lulu was there, she has to keep asking him how their Aunt was feeling.
” She’s responding well. In a couple of days, she would come around. You have no idea how happy I feel about this” Lanre declared.
Theresa Mo smiled. When Lanre smiled back, she saw her dad in him, he is like their father though not obvious in appearance.
” I love you brother” Theresa said and hugged him. Lanre held her and said ” Glad I don’t have to lose you too in this life”
As they left, Theresa advised that he go home and rest properly. The doctors are competent enough to look after their aunt.
After all, he also testified that aunt was responding to treatment. He should go home and Lanre said ok.
The two lovers were now heading to Li’s residence. As the lovers sat on the passenger’s seat, Junxie Li made Theresa rest her head on his torso and he caressed her hair.
” I already told mum and dad that we are having something quiet because of the incident that happened. If it wasn’t for good fortune, you would have either been in Aunt Lulu’s condition or gone like Zhou.
We would have something quiet and then have a reception that is nothing different from having dinner with family and friends.
Maybe that’s why mum wants to see you. I wish things don’t have to be like this, you deserve more my love.
I wanted everyone to know that you are Junxie’s woman, Junxie’s wife. But we have to consider Zhou and mourn him.
We would send a representative to send our condolences to his wife and other extended family.
Molly Mo was feeling restless. Why hasn’t she heard anything about Theresa’s death yet…
