Chapter 802
On the second morning, Sylvia woke up punctually and had breakfast like usual.
She then took a ride to the gynecology hospital in the city center.
She waited for her turn in the public waiting area.
All the other young mothers who were also waiting for their turns were accompanied by their husbands.
One of the young mothers was having a difficult time and her husband pampered her by hugging and
cheering her
up.
The other young mothers were also chatting with their husbands intimately and there was even a
couple behind Sylvia discussing their child’s name.
Everything felt heartwarming and yet it was a luxury that she could not afford.
She looked down at her belly and said softly, “My dear child, Daddy isn’t here but I’ll be here with you
always.” 1
Meanwhile, in the office on the highest floor of Carter Tower, the man was behind his desk working on
his documents.
Ding!
His phone rang and the caller ID showed Lily’s name.
The shared project between the Carter family and the Springsteen family finally made new progress
and Lily calling him at this hour must probably be work-related.
He put his document down and answered the call.
“What is it?” he asked.
Lily said with a chuckle, “Master Carter, it’s about the proposal on the project. My design team has
edited it and I’ve sent it to your mail. Please have a look.”
“Noted.”
“One more thing. I’m planning to go on a site visit later. Are you coming?”
Odell thought about it for a moment and said, “I’ll come.”
There was no scheduled meeting later in the afternoon, so he had the time to visit the site.
“Then…” Lily prolonged her tone intentionally. “Why don’t we have lunch together?”
Odell frowned.
Before he could reject, she said, “Master Carter, you still owe me a meal and we can go visit the site
after lunch. I promise I won’t waste your time.”
A few seconds of silence later, he said, “Okay. I’ll go pick you up later.”
Lily happily answered, “Okay, I’ll wait for you at my office.”
At the gynecology hospital, it was finally Sylvia’s turn after an hour of waiting.
After she completed the pregnancy check-up and left the hospital, it was already late in the afternoon.
Other than the baby being smaller than expected, everything else seemed to be normal.
She bagged the report and headed toward a lively street outside the hospital for lunch. She spent the
entire morning in the hospital without a drop of water or a bite of food, so her stomach was growling
and all she wanted to do was have something to eat.
There were a variety of restaurants on the street. She had a quick stroll around and finally found a local
specialty restaurant for lunch.
The place was not extremely crowded, so she went inside and sat down on a two-people seat near the
wall. She ordered all her favorite food and started gobbling down as soon as the dishes were served.
The serving speed was rather quick. Her table was filled with dishes in a short while.
While she was enjoying her lunch, she heard a familiar voice from the entrance, “Master Carter, there
are two seats here. Let’s go in.”
“Okay.”
A familiar voice of a man also entered her ears.
Sylvia froze. She carefully turned around and saw the couple sitting down beside her.
She was just one divider away and all she saw was the back of Odell’s head.
Her pounding heart immediately calmed down and continued eating her lunch after a quick sigh.
