Chapter 233 It Was a Good Thing
Good thing?
I wanted to ask more, but Dale had already followed Dr. Li to see him
out.
Entered the West Residence hall.
There was no one.
Conversely, voices were heard from upstairs, suggesting that everyone was likely upstairs.
Walter and I went upstairs. The door to William and Emma’s master bedroom was open, and the sound of an old lady’s laughter came from inside, sounding very happy.
Reaching the doorway, they saw Emma lying in bed with William standing by, taking care of her. The old lady and William’s mother were sitting by the bed, chatting with Emma. They didn’t know what they were talking about, but everyone was laughing.
Looking at this scene, I couldn’t help but guess about seventy to eighty percent of it.
Hearing the noise, a few people looked over at us. Seeing this, the old lady waved at us, saying, “You’re here, come over and sit down.”
Walter and I entered the bedroom, the old lady looked at me kindly and smiled, “Did you sleep well last night? I called you so early, did I wake you up?”
Walter and I silently shook hands in understanding.
Walter was the first to speak, looking at the old lady, he said, “Grandma, what has happened?”
The old lady smiled kindly and said. “I originally thought it was bad news, but surprisingly, it turned out to be good news. Your sister-in- law is pregnant.”
At this. Walter was slightly taken aback. He then looked at William, who was calmly looking at him with a smile, saying, “Walter, accompany me to the hospital. Dr. Li just said that your sister-in-law’s pregnancy hormone levels are unstable and she needs some medication. You should come with me.”
Walter nodded, didn’t say much, and left the bedroom with him.
In the bedroom, after a few elders had spoken to Emma for a while, they all left as well.
It was just Emma and me left. She was leaning on the bed, looking at me with a somewhat apologetic expression, “Tabatha, I’m sorry. I didn’t know grandma had someone call you guys over too. I’m sorry for making you worry this early in the morning.”
I just laughed it off, not really taking it to heart, and simply asked her, “Did something happen this morning?”
Otherwise, how could the old lady have been disturbed so early in the morning?
She took a deep breath, a hint of helplessness and self-mockery showing on her gentle face. “It’s funny when you think about it,” she said. “I always thought I was lucky in this life, to be born into a wealthy family, to have received a good education, to have a job I love. When I got married, I married a man who seemed perfect. He respected me, cherished me…
At this point, she gave a bitter smile, looking at me and said, “You

must have guessed something about what happened in the backyard last night.”
I pursed my lips, a bad premonition in my heart as I looked at her and asked, “Does my elder brother have another woman by his side?”
“I didn’t know.” Emma shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. “He said there was no one else, and I believed him. But this morning, before dawn, another woman called him to go out, and he was actually going to go. If I hadn’t tried to stop him and demanded an explanation, he accidentally pushed me, and I started bleeding. I’m afraid he would have left long ago.”
