Chapter 219
“Chris, as Marcus’s trusted right hand man, if you had time to answer your phone just now, it means things aren’t as bad as you imagine”
“So what you should do now is stop fantasizing and calm yourself down. This will be the best for both you and the child.”
Sophie took a deep breath and looked at Sherry seriously. “Sherry, this is different. I can’t calm down.”
“How is it different this time?”
“My intuition is telling me Marcus must be in danger!”
Sophie lifted her delicate face, her almond–shaped eyes filled with anxiety and concern.
Sherry’s heart trembled as she was unknowingly affected by Sophie’s emotion.
People often say that when you care deeply about someone, you can communicate on an emotional level.
Could it be that Sophie’s worry wasn’t just due to hormonal fluctuations, but rather that she and Marcus had already developed an emotional
connection?
Sherry bit her lip, hesitating for a moment before speaking.
“Sophie, if you’re really worried about him, I’ll go with you to find him abroad.”
“By going abroad, I’ll shorten the distance between me and Marcus, and the chances of locating him will increase.”
Sherry spoke seriously, with the determination to risk everything for her friend.
“If you’re decided, I’ll book the fastest flight now, and we’ll leave immediately!”
Sophie paused, a trace of hesitation flickering in her eyes.
No one knew what the situation abroad was like. If she were alone, she would be willing to take the risk for Marcus.
But if this involved Sherry and the baby in her womb, she needed to think carefully.
“Forget it, I won’t go for now.”
Sophie sighed silently. “Tomorrow is my checkup day, and even if I do go, I should get the checkup done first.”
Sherry held Sophie’s hand and gave her a comforting smile.
“Don’t worry. It’s not as bad as you think. If you’re still worried after the checkup tomorrow, I’ll pack my things and go with you to find Marcus.”
Sophie nodded gently. “Maybe it’s just my hormones acting up, I’ve overthought things.”
“Perhaps tomorrow morning, I’ll be able to calm down.”
“That’s the right mindset!”
Sherry hugged Sophie’s arm and pulled her towards the bedroom.
“Come, look at the room I’ve prepared for you. Everything’s decorated according to your preferences. You can sleep here tonight.”
“After your checkup tomorrow, I’ll accompany you to the hospital. Get a good rest tonight, so you’re recharged and don’t overthink things.”

Chapter 219
As they entered the bedroom, Sherry explained.
“The lights in this room are voice activated. You just tap the table gently, and the lights will automatically turn on. I tard that pregas WEXEERTI SUNTE wake up at night, so I specifically chose this type of lighting for you.”
“Also, look at this!”
Sherry pointed to the bedside, where a red cartoon button had been installed.
“This button is connected to the phone in the room next door. If you need me, just press it, and I’ll come to you right away.”
Sophie was slightly distracted by the room’s setup, and her worries seemed to lessen a little.
She appreciated Sherry’s thoughtfulness and didn’t want to continue making her worry about her emotions.
Sophie smiled softly, teasing her. “Sherry, you’re so good to me.”
“Of course. If I don’t treat you well, who else would I treat well?”
“To be honest, I’m not just doing this out of kindness. I have my own motives.”
Sophie raised an eyebrow. “Oh? What do you plan to get from me?”
Sophie’s mood lightened a bit as she joked along with Sherry.
“We need to make it clear beforehand. If what you want is too expensive, I won’t be able to afford it.”
“Don’t worry. What I want, you’ll definitely be able to give me.”
Sherry’s round eyes twinkled for a moment before settling on Sophie’s belly.
“When the baby’s born, just let him call me ‘godmother‘!”
Sophie couldn’t help but laugh. “This is the first time I’ve seen an unmarried young woman fighting to be someone’s godmother.”
“So what? There’s no rule that says you can’t be a godmother if you’re unmarried!”
Sherry pulled Sophie to the couch, speaking seriously.
“I’ve already decided. Whether I get married or not in the future, I’ll be the godmother of your child.”
“If I meet a handsome guy in the future who makes me want to marry and have kids, our kids will be childhood friends, inseparable.”
“But if I can’t find that perfect guy, I’ll treat your child like my own. When I’m old, he’ll have to take care of me as his godmother.”
Sherry smiled playfully at Sophie’s belly.
“Do you think he can hear us talking to him from inside?”
Sophie followed Sherry’s gaze and looked down at her belly, a gentle smile curling on her lips.
“Technically, he can hear outside sounds by now, but whether he understands them is another story.”
“It’s really amazing. I can’t imagine there’s a living person inside you right now.”
“Sophie, this must be really hard for you during the pregnancy.”
