Chapter 119 Stomachache
As soon as Cynthia got to her office, she received the text message sent by Vanessa in the early morning. She chuckled when she read the content.
“Love?”
Vanessa loved Beck?
Beck is not young anymore. He did look sturdier than his peers and maintained good shape, but he was still in his fifties. Vanessa was only in her twenties. How could she fall in love with Beck within a few days?
Beck must have given her hope, making her believe that she could replace Jane and become the mistress of
the Miller family.
Cynthia’s eyes were cold; she grinned and put her phone away.
Vanessa shared a similar temperament to Cynthia’s mother when she was young, which made the former a great candidate for getting close to Beck and sabotaging his family. Cynthia was prepared for Vanessa’s sudden back out of their deal, and she didn’t care since she knew that her former partner wouldn’t rat her out.
Otherwise, Beck wouldn’t be fooled so easily.
It was what she had in mind. Next, she would watch Jane and Vanessa fight each other and wait to see the final winner.
There were only a few patients this morning. Cynthia stretched herself and saw Helen walking over with several lunch boxes.
“Cynthia, come and have lunch. I taught myself cooking by learning from the online chef. These dishes are specially for a pregnant lady like you. Eat while they are still hot.”
Cynthia smiled, “Thank you. To ensure I have enough nutritious food daily, Alston asked Greg to deliver food. to me. I’ll call and tell Greg not to deliver my lunch today.”
She called Greg while she spoke. The latter, who used to answer his phone in seconds, didn’t answer for long.
Cynthia frowned suspiciously and looked at Helen, “Let’s dig in. I’ll give my lunch Greg brings later to other
colleagues who didn’t have time to eat.”
“Okay!” Helen pulled a chair over and opened the lunch box. Then, she heard some noises outside.
Cynthia heard someone calling her name, and she became pale, “I’m afraid someone is here for me. Put away the food!
Helen glared at her, “Forget about the food. You just find a place to hide. Don’t you remember what that online celebrity did to you the last time? How much pain did you suffer because of her? She had you pushed downstairs. And now, you are pregnant. You should be more careful.”
Cynthia caressed her stomach gently and pursed her lips, “I know that voice; it’s my mother–in–law. You call Alston right away and ask him to come over. Only he can handle my mother–in–law.”
Helen nodded and dialed Alston’s phone number. The latter was in a meeting. His assistant Lloyd answered
“Hurry up and ask Alston to come to the hospital. His mother is here for Cynthia!”
Lloyd was shocked. Mr. Smith loved Cynthia to the gut, and now she was pregnant, he treated her even more dearly. Therefore, he rushed into the conference room without even thinking about it.
The manager doing the report became nervous when he saw Lloyd barging in with a stern face. He thought he had made some serious mistakes.
Lloyd rushed to Alston and whispered a few words.
Alston’s face darkened, and he ran out of the conference room without saying a word.
Lloyd looked at the confused executives and smiled, “I’m sorry, Mr. Smith has to go. The meeting is adjourned.”
After Helen hung up the phone, he asked Cynthia to stay behind him and stared warily at Stella, who had already entered the door.
“What are you going here?”
Stella, carrying a beautiful small bag, saw Helen’s reaction and smiled sarcastically, “You really care about Cynthia. I’ll see if you can defend her like this later!”
“Stop this nonsense, and don’t try to sow discord. This is a hospital, and Alston left a lot of guards here. I’ll call security and kick you out of here if you dare to upset Cynthia. She is pregnant now.”
Cynthia added, “Alston is on his way here as well.”
Stella remained unmoved. She cast a cold glance at Cynthia, “I was afraid that he couldn’t come. I think he
should come and see what kind of tramp he loves so dearly?”
“What do you mean?” Cynthia frowned, confused.
Stella must have something on her to be so confident now. However, she had never done anything unforgivable or kept anything from Alston. What exactly was Stella trying to say?
“Cynthia, how could you cheat on Alston? He will definitely divorce you and kick you out of the Smith family.
when he finds out.”
Stella couldn’t help but smile when she thought about it.
“What are you talking about?” Cynthia slapped the table fiercely, “You can’t just go around and slander me like
