Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 355

Ginger walked into the room supporting her lower back, with Silas trailing closely behind.

She wore a loose, dusty-blue maxi dress, her hair casually tied back in a low bun, projecting an image of soft, maternal radiance.

"Grandmother."

Beatrice's eyes lingered on her face for a moment before slowly trailing down to rest on her perfectly flat stomach.

"How far along?"

Ginger's hand instinctively rested on her abdomen. "Two months. The doctor said the pregnancy is stable and the baby is developing perfectly."

A rare, genuine smile finally broke across Beatrice's face. "Wonderful. This is the first great-grandchild of the Lancaster family. You need to focus entirely on resting. No more running around."

Ginger nodded eagerly. "Yes, Grandmother."

"The first trimester is crucial. I'll have Thomas hire a team of elite maternity nurses. You can take your pick."

"Thank you, Grandmother."

Perhaps the thrill of finally becoming a great-grandmother made Beatrice unusually talkative. She gave Ginger a long list of instructions and advice until she grew tired and ordered the maids to see them out.

As soon as Ginger and Silas were gone, the warm smile vanished completely from Beatrice's face.

"Thomas, have someone run a background check. Find out if the child in her belly actually belongs to Silas."

"Yes, Madam."

Once Thomas left, Beatrice was alone in the sprawling, quiet living room.

She leaned back against her pillows and closed her eyes, her mind swirling with complex thoughts.

The Lancaster bloodline was thinning dangerously.

If Ginger was genuinely carrying Lancaster blood, that child would be the family's sole heir.

She had no choice but to take this seriously.

But if it was a lie...

Her eyes snapped open. Ginger and Silas wouldn't dare try to con her with something this massive.
