CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91 For a Change of Mood

Upon hearing this, Francis's gaze fixed intently on Lester, "What did you say?"

Lester suddenly felt his scalp tighten. Francis's expression in his eyes made Lester doubt if he omitted the "what if" part in his previous statement.

He hurriedly explained, "I was just making a casual remark. No need to react so strongly."

"Let's not make such assumptions," Francis firmly rejected his words, and his attitude was extremely tough.

Lester's eyelids jumped, wondering if Francis seemed to not want Lilian to get pregnant.

"Alright, I spoke out of turn," Lester chuckled, realizing that Lilian's decision to ask him to keep her pregnancy a secret was probably the right one.

He couldn't understand why someone would not like their child.

......

Lilian was caught in the rain last night, and she had a slight fever at midnight. She had been in bed the entire day.

Nobody knew she was at the Francis Residence until the maid conducted a routine cleaning in the afternoon, discovering Lilian lying in bed.

As soon as the maid lifted the quilt, she was startled when she found someone on the bed.

"Ms. Rossum (used when Nelson Casey referred to Lilian Rossum)?"

Lilian opened her eyes in a daze and saw the maid's look of shock, and she propped herself up and sat up.

"How could you be here?" The maid asked.

Lilian gestured and saw the confusion in the maid's eyes. She gave up and took out her mobile phone to type words to the maid.

"I'm staying here for a few days," she typed out.

The maid finally understood. "Alright, is there anything you need assistance with?"

Lilian continued typing, "Please bring me two fever-reducing pills. Thank you."

"Of course, please wait."

The maid put down what she held and left to fetch the medicine.

Lilian raised her hand to touch her forehead. Her hand felt as warm as her forehead, and naturally, she couldn't discern anything by touch.
