CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1241

Eugene's gaze briefly lingered on Lydia, though his words were addressed to the crowd around him. "The auction is about to begin. If you don’t want to miss out, you’d better get ready."

His tone made it clear he wasn’t interested in further conversation. The people around them were quick to pick up on social cues and nodded in agreement.

“Mr. Ford is right, we can’t miss this one!”

“It’s time to head in,” someone else chimed in.

As soon as the words were spoken, the lights in the room dimmed. Amid the collective gasps of the crowd, a spotlight shone on the stage where the host stepped into view. After the usual pleasantries, the auction officially began.

People quickly found their seats, and Lydia followed Quincy to a spot with a good view of the stage.

As they settled in, Eugene passed by, leaning slightly toward her as he said, “I’ll see you after the auction.”

Lydia glanced at him but didn’t respond, keeping her focus on Quincy. Once seated, she reached for Quincy’s hand and firmly pulled it toward her. Inspecting his reddened knuckles, she frowned, her heart tightening with both anger and concern.

"I asked you earlier, and you said you were fine. Does this look like ‘fine’ to you?" she scolded, her voice a mix of frustration and care.

Quincy didn’t seem bothered by the injury. “It’s nothing,” he reassured her. "I hurt it earlier while dealing with those guys. And I’d do it again in a heartbeat if it meant protecting you.

“It's just a little bruise,” he added softly, squeezing her hand. “It’ll be fine soon.”
