When Francis left Michael’s law firm, he looked upset. Meanwhile, Frederick was waiting for him in the car, and he immediately opened the door when he saw Francis approaching while asking, “Mr. Gurney, how did it go?”
Francis sat down and sighed before saying, “Everything’s settled now.”
“Then why don’t you look happy?”
“Ugh! Michael didn’t take me seriously at all. I’ve always been trying to make peace with him, but he’s too aloof. He has never promised and mentioned that he would marry Azalea throughout our conversation.”
Francis was flustered at this thought, and he couldn’t help but ask, “What do you think he’s planning to do?”
How would Frederick know what Michael was up to? However, he smiled and said, “Anyway, Miss Gurney is pregnant with Michael’s child, and she’s currently staying with the Davis family too. It doesn’t matter what he’s thinking. After all, the child is more important now. Once Miss Gurney gives birth to the baby safely, Michael can’t choose to ignore his own child, right?”
“Well, I used to think the same too because no parents would ever hurt their own child. Furthermore, Michael is not that evil, so he would definitely acknowledge his child. However…”
Francis paused for a moment before continuing, “I feel a little uncertain when I saw how Angel ended up.”
“Mr. Gurney, are you worried that the child in Miss Gurney’s belly doesn’t belong to Michael?” Frederick understood what Francis was trying to say.”
“Yes, I’m so worried! After all, the same thing happened once!” Francis had become more alert after what had happened to Angel, and he doubted himself now.
“That’s impossible, right? Angel was framed because she was greedy, and she never told the public about her real identity. Everyone thought that she was the eldest daughter of the Floyd family. However, Miss Gurney had nothing before this, but Michael knows her past well. It would be extremely easy for him to kill Miss Gurney, so he has no reason to trick her this way.”
Frederick’s words made sense, but Francis was very confused now. “What if he did this to take revenge for Wayne and Meadow? He hates Azalea. If he takes care of Azalea like Angel, how will it end in the future?”
“What… what should we do now?”
“The child in Azalea’s stomach isn’t young anymore, so I want to do a DNA test secretly. Once I know that this child is related to Michael, I will be relieved. You should arrange for someone to bring Azalea to do a check-up, and you can go with her too. After all, there’s no better time to do this than during her pregnancy check-up.”
On the other hand, Azalea’s leg had already almost healed. Furthermore, as her identity was different now, Meadow and Wayne didn’t dare to make life hard for her. Thus, she had been living a smooth life recently.
However, the only regret she had was Michael. Michael never returned once, and she heard that he had always been living with Anastasia all this time.
When Azalea thought about how Michael and Anastasia stuck together, she felt deep hatred. However, she didn’t know what to do either. After all, she couldn’t get into Michael’s good graces now. Furthermore, Meadow never bothered teasing her again, and she ignored Azalea instead. Hence, Azalea had no one else to rely on except for the child in her stomach.
Fortunately, she was pregnant, and the baby she was pregnant with was a boy. After Wayne knew that she was pregnant with a baby boy, his attitude toward her changed greatly. He would also order the servants to prepare various tonics for her and arrange for someone to bring her to various check-ups.
When Azalea saw how the Davis family valued the baby greatly, she knew that she only could raise her head high in the family only if she gave birth to the baby safely.
After that, Frederick called and said that he was going to accompany her for a test. However, Azalea was unhappy as he said, “I only went for a check-up a few days ago, and the baby was fine!”
“Nah, Mr. Davis is worried, so you should go to the hospital again.”
“Huh? What’s there to worry about?” Azalea muttered. However, she reluctantly agreed to his request when she thought about how she had to still rely on Francis.
An hour later, Frederick personally drove to the Davis family to pick up Azalea. At that time, Wayne and Meadow were not at home, so Azalea changed her clothes and got in Frederick’s car to the hospital.
The doctor took a sample of her amniotic fluid through her v*gina. However, this was different from the previous check-ups she had, so she became suspicious. Hence, she asked the doctor, “What sort of check-up are you doing this time? Why didn’t you do this previously?”
The doctor comforted Azalea by saying that it was better to do this pregnancy test to check whether her baby was healthy. However, Azalea didn’t believe him fully.
She felt that something was suspicious. Why did Frederick and Francis arrange for this check-up on purpose?
After the test, she asked Frederick a few questions. Frederick didn’t reveal any information to her, and Azalea was sent back to the Davis family.
When Frederick got out of the car, he asked the driver to bring a few boxes of tonics by saying that they were for Azalea to regain her health.
The driver took the tonics, and Azalea was about to enter the house when Michael came back.
Azalea’s eyes lit up when she saw Michael coming back. “Michael! Why are you back?”
Michael put on a fake smile and replied, “This is my home. Are you saying that I shouldn’t come back?”
“No! I just thought that you would be at the company at this time.”
“I came back to get something,” Michael replied as he glanced at Frederick. The latter immediately greeted Michael with a smile, “Sir Michael, Mr. Davis asked me to send Miss Clark to the hospital for a check-up. He also asked me to send some tonics to her so that she can nurse here body.”
“Hah, my father is so thoughtful and considerate, Michael replied plainly before making his way into the house with Azalea trailing behind him.
Meanwhile, Frederick shook his head and got in the car himself. Francis had felt that Michael’s attitude was suspicious, and he totally agreed with Michael after what had happened today.
Then, the driver put down the tonics and left the Davis family’s house. Michael went to the study. Azalea immediately followed her in, but she was stopped by Michael at the door of the study. “What are you doing here? Go away!”
“Michael, I just want to tell you about the child. The child can move now!”
“So then?” Michael asked indifferently.
“Don’t you want to interact with your child? It feels amazing!” Azalea had an eager expression on her face as she said this.
“No!” Michael looked at her indifferently. This was not his child. What did he have to interact with him?
“Michael, can you come back often in the future?”
“For what?”
“I read in books that fetal education is very good for children, and it’ll be better if the fetal’s father is involved as well…”
“Hah! Do you mean that women can’t give birth to the baby if the father isn’t involved in the baby’s fetal education?”
“Alright, I don’t have time to waste here because I have more serious issues. If you have nothing to do, go up and rest. Don’t disturb me!”
Azalea had not seen Michael for a long time. Hence, how could she give up the chance to talk to him? She tried to find a way to persuade him. “It’s… it’s just that Frederick took me to a pregnancy check-up today. The doctor used a syringe to extract amentic fluid from my belly, and he said that this could allow him to check the child’s health better. However, I still feel suspicious.”
Michael had an annoyed expression on his face at first. However, when he heard what Azalea had said, he suddenly thought about something, and his expression changed.
