Chapter 1074: If there is an intention to hide, there is no way one can be found.

“It’s likely the doctor’s own medical facility. I’m unsure, too, but relax; once your body is in a better shape, we can go over to look.”
Pei Ge let out a light smile at this and her bright eyes were filled with gratefulness.
“Okay… Thank you. If not for you, I really don’t know what to do…”
Every time she thought of the past incidents, she would feel awful inside.
If not for Tang Xiaoyu appearing then, if Gu Zhengrong did not have the ability to help her, what would she have done?
Perhaps, she would have stayed by that man’s side, but they could have only ended up drifting apart…
In the end, she might also become the person she hated the most…
Seeing her smile, her best friend blurted out an unexpected question. “Do you really not have feelings for Ji Ziming anymore?”
Only at the sight of the other’s frozen expression did she realize that she had asked something inappropriate.
“Ah—sorry! I-I’m… Just treat it as if I didn’t ask anything and let it go like fart!”
“It’s fine.”
Although she was still smiling, Pei Ge’s smile had dimmed.
Probably because she had thought of the man, she felt stuffy and awful inside.
She knew that she should no longer hold feelings for the man and even assumed that she had forgotten him, yet the moment his name was brought again, she…
“It’s not an easy task to forget a person.”
Her lips curled up helplessly. The bliss in her smile was replaced by bitterness.
She truly wished now that she could have a potion, which would make her forget that man completely.
Alas, she did not have such a miraculous item, and even more so, she was unable to forget her feelings for him.
Even if that man had hurt her so badly, she still missed him deep inside.
She missed him every day from the moment she woke up until she fell asleep, as well as every time she felt the life in her womb.
If he were here by her side, that would really be great.
If it were like that, how blissful their family of three would be…
“So you indeed still miss him…”
Tang Xiaoyu lightly sighed at her bittern smile before castigating herself for bringing up that scum man who had betrayed her best friend.
“Alright. Let’s not talk about that scum anymore. Speaking of which, I see that Dr. Cyriel is treating you very well!”
Pei Ge was slow to react to this sudden change in topic.
“What did you say?”
She looked at her best friend with a flabbergasted gaze, totally not understanding why the latter would say that.
“He he he! Don’t you feel it?”
The latter gave her a wry and suggestive smile.
It made her even more flabbergasted. “Feel what?”
“Of course, it’s that the doctor is interested in you!”
The corner of her lips involuntarily twitched the moment she heard that.
“Stop spouting nonsense. Your joke isn’t even funny.”
“I’m not kidding! I’m telling the truth. I really think he’s interested in you!”
“…Oh, please. I’m a pregnant lady—a single one at that. It’s not possible for him to like me.”
“But I truly think that…”
“Alright! Stop, stop! Don’t spout anymore nonsense.”
“Tsk…”
Outdoors, the sun was bright and warm. Indoors, these two beautiful ladies had bright and sunny smiles.
There was no unhappiness on their faces, and everything seemed to be perfect…
Meanwhile, on the other end of the Atlantic Ocean, not a smile could be seen on a certain someone’s face.
In fact, his face seemed to be encrusted in ice, making one tremble in cold despite the warm weather.
“…What did you say?”
The man sitting in front of his work desk was like god himself in his handsomeness, but the expression on his face made him more akin to the grim reaper, making one’s heart quake in fear.
His flawless features were grim and his dark aura made those in the office have difficulty breathing.
“Tell me what did you just say.”
The temperature in the office seemed to plummet by a few degrees the moment he said that, and no one dared to raise their heads.
There were clearly many people present in the spacious office, yet not one of them dared to speak.
“Speak.”
His low and clear voice sounded in everyone’s ears again.
Although his tone was very calm, these simple words caused everyone’s hearts to be filled with fear.
“Sir…”
Seeing that no one was making a sound and that their boss’s face was turning darker by the second, Du Wen could only take the initiative.
Finally hearing someone speaking, the man turned his attention to his secretary.
The latter could not help gulping when he felt his superior’s cold size him up.
“Our people went to the hospital in Berlin to look, but we didn’t find Miss Pei’s mother there.”
After hearing this confirmation, the man fell silent.
He sat in the office chair silently while staring at the scenery outside. Glancing at the skyscrapers everywhere, he suddenly felt that his life seemed to have turned boring.
Only then did he realize that a life without Pei Ge was utterly monotonous… and insufferable.
“Continue looking! I want you guys to check every neurology hospital in the world for her!”
As long as I find her mother, I can find her…
“…Yes, sir!”
Inside, the secretary was thinking that the woman might not have sent her mother to any hospital at all.
After all, with how much effort was put into escaping from his sight, it was impossible for there to be no one behind her.
If she truly wanted to hide, she would not allow herself to be found easily.
However, he only dared to think this.
Just as he was about to leave with the rest of the people, his superior spoke again.
“Du Wen, stay behind.”
