Stuart was a little reluctant. "The fault indeed originated from our side, but the entertainment industry isn't clean after all. It's a business involving numerous backdoor agreements. Our company is definitely not the worst. There are many other companies with more abhorrent misconduct.
It's an irreversible trend. The people behind this must be well aware of it. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, there's something fishy in it."
"Where there's smoke, there's fire. Now that we're being targeted, we can only relinquish this company. No matter if it's a lucrative business or not, there's only one option left for us: admit our mistakes right away and make a public apology. Arrange for a press conference as soon as possible to explain it to the public."
"I got it."
Stuart turned around. When the car arrived at Richards Group Manor, Jepherson did not get out of it instantly. He asked Stuart, "Grandpa and Grandma haven't returned yet?"
"I've paid them a visit. Mr. Trevor stayed inside the nursing home all the time to look after Madam Marissa. He said that if he can't change her mind, he won't leave either."
"It seems that he is determined."
Jepherson came out from the car and Stuart followed him.
"Jepherson is back?" Zorion told his family about this while they were eating. Jacky and the rest were all present. Rayan understood who his son was talking about. However, it had never occurred to him that Jacky would just sit by without offering his help.
Deanna couldn't stand it anymore. She said, "I really don't know what you guys are thinking. Are we just going to watch from the sidelines like this?"
Hannah was taking care of the two children. The two little guys were very well-behaved. They would never romp around and prattle too much during a meal, nor would they do anything impolite. Focusing on their food was the only thing they would do.
Nevertheless, they managed to understand what was going on. While eating, they would also peep at the adults and listen to their conversation.
Hearing that Deanna was indignant about the matter concerning Jepherson, Hannah darted a glance at her and told the two children to eat quickly so that they could do other things.
The two children grabbed a steamed bun and a peeled shrimp respectively before they ran to eat them while watching from the side. Hannah still worried about them. She called the servants to keep an eye on them and took a plate of spaghetti to feed them.
Jacky never cared about these things, neither would he interfere with them.
Deanna couldn't resist being a busybody. Seeing that the two children were overindulged by her mother, she took a dim view of it. People in Waverly Village had to stand on their own two feet. Thus, she said, "Mom, don't spoil them. If so, they wouldn't be independent in the future." Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Hannah was a little reluctant. She immediately asked her daughter, "This was how I brought you up. Aren't you independent now? Or are you so independent that you don't recognize me anymore?"
Jacky continued eating, as if he hadn't heard what was going on.
Deanna pouted. "I knew you would say that. It's like this every time."
While the others were eating, Rossie felt a little uncomfortable. She stood up, put her cutlery down and ran to the bathroom.
As soon as she reached the bathroom, she bent over the toilet and threw up without stopping. She threw up the small portion she had eaten.
Zorion got up, followed her and went inside to see what was happening.
Rayan looked back at Hannah, who appeared to be preoccupied and gave no reaction. By the time she responded, Rossie had already come out of the bathroom.
Rossie's face was pale. She had already puked her guts out.
Deanna also hurried to check on Rossie. "Rossie, what happened?"
Rossie shook her head. "I don't know. It's probably because I ate an orange last night and it's been upsetting my stomach since then. The similar thing used to happen whenever I ate an orange."
"Then you have to go to the doctor. How about I accompany you to see a doctor later?"
Deanna was a warmhearted person as she felt duty- bound to deal with her family affairs. She never considered too much before lending a helping hand.
"Zorion, take Rossie upstairs to rest first. I'll ask
someone to prepare a light meal for her."
"All right."
Zorion saw that it was taking a lot of Rossie's energy to walk, so he bent down to pick her up. Feeling under the weather, Rossie nestled her face in his arms.
Zorion carried her upstairs and continually held onto her hands. Her hands were cold and clammy and Zorion's brows were deeply knitted. "Do you feel sick elsewhere other than your stomach?"
Rossie shook her head. Zorion said, "Let's go to the hospital once you get better later."
"There's no need to."
"I'll only be relieved if you go and see a doctor. If you don't, I can't be at ease."
Deanna personally brought a bowl of soup to Zorion's room and sat down inside without leaving.
Rossie drank some of the soup and felt better.
Only then did Deanna leave.
"Rayan, do you think it's true?" Hannah sat beside Rayan and asked him. Rayan glanced at his wife. "Shouldn't they know it better than us? They didn't seem to have much of a reaction either."
"They haven't experienced it before. How would they know?"
Jacky had already finished his meal and gone back. The two children also went upstairs. Only when Hannah was alone with her husband would she say something like that.
Deanna was also upstairs at the moment. There was nothing she could not say to her husband.
Rayan thought for a while. "Well know it after the examination."
Due to Rossie's condition, the Whalen family did not rest much. Hannah instructed the chauffeur to wait with the car at the door. She then asked her son to bring Rossie down and bring her to the hospital.
It was the first time Hannah had seen her son feeling so on edge. It was also the first time she saw him hold Rossie in his arms on the way to the hospital.
Rossie was slightly dazed as the doctor examined her and Zorion was slightly surprised.
"Are you sure?" Zorion couldn't believe his ears. The doctor replied, "Mr. Whalen, you can relax. We've confirmed it. She's indeed pregnant."
"If Mr. Whalen doesn't want this baby, I..." "Nonsense, what are you talking about?"
Before Zorion flew off the handle, Hannah had already pulled a long face. She had been yearning for another grandchild. What did the doctor say?
Seeing Hannah's appearance, the doctor was so scared that she shivered all over and wondered if she had misunderstood anything.
Zorion turned to look at Rossie, who was sitting in a daze. "You're pregnant?"
Rossie nodded. Since it had been confirmed, she had nothing else to say.
Zorion cuddled her. He was so ecstatic that he couldn't utter a word. Holding her face, he kissed her passionately.
On the other hand, Hannah really didn't think there was any problem. They were all her children, and she had long thought of Rossie as her daughter-in-law. There was nothing to be unhappy about.
"Well, give my daughter- in- law something to soothe her upset stomach. Something other than medicine, maybe some supplements.
She vomited while we were eating. We thought she had the stomach flu."
"Okay, I'll prescribe it now."
The doctor wrote down a prescription and gave her some advice, as though she had been pardoned.
It was only then that Hannah brought Zorion and Rossie back.
On the way, Rossie asked strangely, "Didn't we already take contraceptive measures? How could we still get pregnant?"
