Cindy had lost contact with the outside world for almost a week. She sat in her room gloomily, her gaze
was completely lifeless.
When she saw Larissa bringing the medicine in, she regained some energy and drank everything in
one gulp.
Larissa was about to take the bowl out when Cindy grabbed her wrist.
“M-Ma’am.” Larissa asked guiltily, “Is there anything else?”
Did she realize that something’s amiss?
Cindy sighed and asked, “Did you try to convince Henrick to let me out?”
Feeling relieved, Larissa nodded. “Yeah, but Mr. Southall said to let you calm down for a while.”
“Damn it!” spat Cindy as she stood up and paced around the room in frustration.
Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks and instructed Larissa, “Tell Henrick that it’s been a week already.
Since I’m pregnant, I need to go to the hospital for my weekly maternity checkup. He has to let me out!
Also, tell him that I’ve already calmed down and won’t bring up divorce again.”
“Okay.” Larissa nodded and left.
Cindy stared at Larissa till she disappeared from her
view, her expression turned grim.
She had not felt any morning sickness anymore, perhaps because her medicine had expired. Her
pregnancy supplements were almost running out, but she could not contact Matthias at all. Hence, she
had to get out and think of a way to meet him and get more ‘supplements’.
Just when Cindy was feeling frustrated and unsettled, the bedroom door was flung open.
It was Henrick.
Cindy’s eyes lit up as she rushed toward him. “Rick, I’ve already thought it through and calmed down.
Since we’ve gone through so many hardships together, I can’t possibly get a divorce over such a minor
issue.”
A look of relief crossed Henrick’s eyes. He asked, “Have you really decided not to divorce from me?”?
Cindy stroked her belly and revealed an affectionate look. “I’m already pregnant, so why should I get a
divorce? What will happen if my baby doesn’t have a father? I was just spouting nonsense out of fury. I
didn’t expect you to take me seriously!”
When Henrick heard that, he pulled Cindy into his arms.
Suppressing her discomfort, Cindy continued, “You need to give me more time to prepare. I can’t get
used to it if we suddenly return to your hometown. Give me some time, alright?”’
“Alright.” Henrick agreed quickly before saying, “Someone contacted me today. He’s thinking of buying
our company, so I’ll be discussing it with him. The negotiation will last for at least a week, so that’ll be
enough time for you to mentally prepare yourself.”
“What?” Cindy was surprised. Henrick is so quick!
However, remembering the situation she was in, Cindy forced herself to calm down. She flashed
Henrick a stiff smile and said, “I understand. I should be able to mentally prepare myself after a week.”
As long as she could meet Matthias, it was not too late.
He’ll definitely have a solution!
Cindy continued, “I need to go to the hospital for a check-up. You should go ahead with your work. I
can head there myself.”
“No way! Let me accompany you to the check-up first. My son is more important than money!”
Cindy quickly reassured him, “After your negotiation succeeds, you will have plenty of time to
accompany me to go for maternity check-ups. There’s no need to rush.”
Thinking that it was reasonable, Henrick agreed.
“Alright, I’ll get two bodyguards to protect you. Come back home immediately after the checkup. It’s
crowded outside, so you might crash into someone.”
Cindy nodded vigorously.
After sending Henrick off, she whipped out her phone.
