Chapter 1006 Her breakthrough is Lyra
Molly wowed, and her admiration for her daddy rose to another level.
"I don't care. I'll definitely defeat Daddy in the future! Down with Daddy!"
Malcolm smiled helplessly and didn't want to pay attention to Molly's rebellious behavior like a unfilial daughter.
The family of four chatted for a long time in the meeting room.
At this time, Molly had completely forgotten about the second place in the wrestling match, and quickly remembered the other two important people.
"Mommy, what are godmother and godfather doing lately? I haven't seen them for a long time."
"I want to go skiing on Sakura Mountain with them~"
Lyra's expression froze.
Anthony and Mavis were still at odds with each other, she hadn't told the two kids about it so she could only explain it with an excuse.
"Did you forget that Mavis is pregnant with a baby, and she wants to take care of the baby with peace of mind, so she can't do dangerous activities like skiing."
Molly was surprised. "Does it take so long?"
"Of course, my wife worked very hard to give birth to you two." Malcolm, who had always been quiet, interjected.
Molly approached Lyra in a sensible way, and kissed her cheek. "It takes long to give birth to me and my brother. Mommy, you must have worked hard."
Lyra was satisfied. Having two smart and cute kids didn't make her feel bitter at all.
However, Molly's words reminded her of something else.
A few days ago, Mavis went to the hospital with bleeding during pregnancy. After receiving the news that Mavis was safely transferred to the general ward, she and Malcolm left. There had been no news of Mavis in the past few days.
With Mavis' temperament, she will call her when she woke up no matter what.
This time it was very weird.
Anthony didn't talk to her either.
Lyra always felt that they were weird.
Because of this, she had been in a daze and a little worried about the situation on Mavis' side.
Malcolm noticed something wrong with her expression sharply, but didn't ask anything in front of the kids.
It wasn't until they said bye bye to Molly and saw her being dragged away by the teacher crying because of reluctance, that Malcolm approached Lyra's ear in a low voice and asked, "You seem to have something on your mind. What are you thinking?"
After all, Spencer was still nearby, so Lyra said very tactfully, "I don't know how Mavis is doing now. I want to go and see her."
Malcolm understood very well. "Then send Spencer back to school first. We'll go and have a look tomorrow morning."
Lyra nodded. It felt really good to have Malcolm's unconditional support no matter what decision she made.
They held hands, and Spencer followed behind them arrogantly and silently, resolutely not seeing his parents displaying their affection in front of him.
...
For a few days, Mavis could only stay in the ward without a mobile phone. Apart from eating and sleeping all day, Mavis could only be in a daze and meditate.
This kind of life was meaningless. She felt like a pet in Anthony's captivity, without self.
When Anthony was happy, he coaxed her to eat and talked softly.
If he was not happy, he will kiss her fiercely as punishment, or threaten her to send the baby away in the future so that she will never see the baby.
Mavis couldn't find a breakthrough, and was almost driven crazy by this situation.
But soon, her breakthrough came.
Lyra and Malcolm took the initiative to come to the hospital to see her.
Anthony imprisoned her in the ward, not allowing Lyra and Malcolm to notice that she was not allowed to go out, so he could only agree with Lyra to come to see Mavis.
The moment she saw Lyra, Mavis burst into tears. If it weren't for the pregnancy and her big belly, she would have hugged her at this moment.
Lyra squeezed her hand gently to comfort her, "How's the fetus going? Did Anthony bully you? Tell me, I'll let Malcolm beat him up."
Mavis looked serious, her eyes were redder with tears, and she looked at Anthony with a complicated expression.
Anthony was staring at her.
Those serious blue eyes seemed to be warning her not to talk nonsense in front of Lyra.
He hoped that she would have sense of propriety when it came to the private matters between husband and wife.
Mavis knew exactly what he wanted to do now, and said to Lyra with a smile, "It's been good recently, because I don't move around very often. I gain a lot of weight. Anthony is very considerate. He didn't bully me, and he even hired a nutritionist, and I have a lot of different food everyday."
Lyra sharply picked the point.
"You don't move around often? How can this work? The closer you are about to deliver, the more you need to do proper exercise. Then you can have a smooth delivery. If you just lie on the bed now, it will be painful when you enter the delivery room."
As a person who had experienced it, Lyra knew better how to raise a baby during pregnancy the best way.
She offered to propose, "Anyway, I sneak here this morning. The sunshine is nice outside, and the ultraviolet rays are not strong in the morning. Shall we go out for a walk?"
Mavis looked at Anthony who was standing by the end of the bed in embarrassment, "Lyra, this is not good..."
"What's wrong?"
Lyra followed her gaze and looked at Anthony behind her, vaguely aware that there was something tricky between the two, and repaired it calmly.
"Anthony, this is your dereliction of duty. Your wife is pregnant and you don't learn more about pregnancy. Mavis is already thin. She should increase the amount of exercise in order to improve her sleep quality and appetite, so the baby will grow better."
Anthony nodded, very teachable. "Rara, you're right. I didn't do well enough. I must make it up the other day."
Lyra raised her eyebrows. "In this regard, Malcolm has done a good job, and after the baby is born, you have to learn how to be a daddy and help take care of the bbay. You can learn from Malcolm in these things."
In front of the former "rival in love", Malcolm was praised by his wife.
Malcolm was very proud. He put his hands into his trousers pockets, raised his chin slightly, and began to teach with earnestness.
"Anthony, power and money are nothing. The man who loves his wife is the most capable person."
Anthony followed with a smile. "Malcolm, you're right. I still have a lot to learn from you in the future."
They chatted for a while. Lyra helped Mavis get out of bed, and changed the subject, "Let's go to the small garden under the inpatient building of the hospital."
The sun was warm on the body, but not very hot.
Mavis was led by Lyra, looking around with great interest, as if she hadn't seen the outside world for a long time.
Lyra noticed it, felt a little strange, but didn't say anything.
The two walked side by side, followed by Malcolm and Anthony silently, without speaking the whole time.
After walking for ten minutes, Anthony suddenly stopped Mavis. "You haven't exercised for a long time. Don't walk too much at once. It won't be good if you are tired. Go back to the ward."
Mavis did not agree, and said in a soft tone, "Anthony, I seem to be a little hungry, and I really want to eat freshly baked corn cakes outside the hospital. Can you buy them for me?"
Anthony frowned, and refused without thinking. "The street stalls outside are full of junk food. It's not suitable to eat this kind of snacks during pregnancy. We'll go back to drink nutritious soup later."
Mavis stopped talking. Her lowered eyebrows looked slightly depressed.
Lyra noticed it and helped saying, "It's really not good to eat those food, but if you tell the hawkers, they can make freshly baked cakes that pregnant women can eat. This kind of thing is not eaten every day. It has little effect."
She smiled and continued, "Not only Mavis is hungry, but I am also hungry. I want to eat too. Why don't you two go buy it together?"
Anthony stopped talking.
Malcolm agreed decisively. "The freshly baked cake is indeed fragrant. It's delicious. We'll be back soon. Don't go far, Rara."
Lyra said, "We won't continue walking, just sit on the bench for a while and wait for you to come back."
Anthony had nothing to do, and it was hard to say anything, so Malcolm led him to the hospital gate together.
Lyra and Mavis now had time to be alone.
But Mavis knew that the bodyguards of the Callahan family were watching in the dark, so she didn't let down her vigilance, but pulled Lyra to the bench to sit down.
Like her close friend, she was holding Lyra's arm and leaning on her shoulder.
Lyra had already guessed her intention, and directly pointed it out, "You deliberately send Anthony away, because you want to say something to me alone?"
