Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 427

Robert repeatedly scrutinized the man standing in front of him; he tried hard to glean some clues from Blake’s expression. He claims to have the family’s interest at heart, but it’s quite obvious that he’s using this opportunity to coerce Heather. There was no way on earth that he would agree to Blake’s suggestion of sacrificing Heather for the sake of the company. As he frowned, he gradually sat down while he maintained his gaze on Blake.

At this point, the duo silently stared at each other. After some time, Robert mentioned with a distant tone, “There is no need for our family to resort to such a desperate measure of sacrificing a family member’s future for the sake of the company’s interest.” He had previously seen for himself Blake’s tactics. Sadly, Blake remained steadfast in his ways of using these underhanded measures to plot against others.

Both of them refused to give in to the other. Blake insisted on progressing with his plan under the guise of maintaining the family’s interest. On the other hand, it was obvious that Robert would never allow Blake to use Heather as a pawn.

Meanwhile, Heather escorted Myra to the hospital. On the way to the hospital, Myra suddenly recovered, but she insisted that Myra undergo a body check to ensure that everything was alright with her pregnancy.

As Heather scurried around the hospital, Myra looked on. She was at a loss for words at the moment, but there was a smile on her face. Life was much better with great friends like Heather, making Myra realize that it was much better to have one or two genuine friends than to have multiple casual acquaintances.

“Dr. Ryans, is it necessary for her to undergo a cranial CT scan?” Heather focused her eyes on the specialist sitting across the room from her.

“Yes, it is. Otherwise, it would be quite hard to diagnose the problem.” She looked at Myra as she responded to the question.

“She’s pregnant!” Heather stood protectively in front of Myra and retorted. “She can’t possibly undergo a cranial CT scan!” What’s wrong with this specialist? She doesn’t even consider the actual circumstances before giving a suggestion!

“That’s right. It’s not possible to choose this option right now. It would be a better idea to run further diagnostic tests after she has given birth,” Dr. Ryans responded with a wary look on her face as she looked at Heather whose current expression resembled a tiger about to pounce on her prey.

Before Heather could say anything, Myra interjected. With a polite smile, she responded, “Sure, it’s fine for now then.” She knew that there was no point in making things difficult for the specialist. Besides, the results from all her other tests returned normal, so it seemed that everything was fine overall.

After the consultation, both of them left the hospital and they felt quite hungry after the ordeal. Furthermore, they hadn’t eaten much during lunch. Heather turned to Myra and said, “Let’s go, I’ll treat you to a nice meal!” It’s not good to starve a pregnant lady. Besides, there’s also a baby who needs nutrients there, so I shouldn’t deprive him of that!

Myra glanced at her watch and noticed that it was quite late. After giving some thought, she asked, “What do you want for lunch?” Gosh, we spent so much time at the hospital because Heather insisted on me getting a full body check.

“Let’s discuss this in the car.” Heather opened the car door and at the same time, she tried to think of a nearby restaurant to head to.

As soon as Myra entered the car, she received a phone call from Tony. Naturally, he was quite worried because she had gone out in the morning to the Langston Residence, but she hadn’t arrived home.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be back for dinner,” she mentioned to him. I don’t know what he’s worried about. She smiled in contentment after ending the call. Evidently, she was elated about it despite her lament.

“I’m quite envious of seeing you two being so affectionate with each other,” Heather said while staring at Myra seated next to her.

“That’s how you’ll feel once you meet the right person.” The smile on Myra’s face was indeed a source of envy.

Heather gripped tightly on the steering wheel and looked forward with a resigned smile. “It’s easy to fall in love with someone, but the hard part is to maintain the relationship. Most of the time, people fall in love with someone who doesn’t share the same feelings as them. There are also instances of people who get together because of their love for each other, but break up from each other due to all sorts of reasons.” She had always harbored a pessimistic view on relationship matters.

“That’s quite true! Life isn’t always a bed of roses and there are a lot of possibilities in life to experience. We would never know for sure what would happen until we actually experience life.” Myra was affected by Heather’s pessimism and lamented about it too. The hardest thing to achieve is an ordinary life, devoid of any ups and downs and without any accidents.

“Stop overthinking! You have to eat healthily during your pregnancy as well as maintain a positive outlook in life; otherwise…” You could become depressed, Heather thought as she trailed off. Despite it being a joke, she couldn’t bear to subject Myra to that possibility too. She sincerely hoped that Myra could gain all the happiness that she didn’t quite possess.

“Otherwise, what?” Myra laughingly questioned. How can someone stop speaking just like that?

“Otherwise, you might not deliver to a cute and chubby child. After all, babies look cuter when they are chubby.” Heather gave a cunning smile, just like how she was in her younger days.

“No way! If the baby’s too big in size, it could become a complicated birth,” Myra reminded as she scrunched up her nose. Every time she hung out with Heather, she felt like they returned in time and everything was just like before. In the past, they were merely kids, but now she was about to give birth and become a parent. Time really had flown past. She had yearned to get older as soon as possible when she was young, but now, she would rather time slowly tick as she had a lot of things yet to be done.

There would be an outcome within the next few days in regards to the issue with Stark Group. As soon as Myra realized that, she sighed in relief. Heather’s done so much for me this time! She decided that she would plan a relaxing trip with Tony once the issues with Stark Group had been settled. It’s definitely time for a break! We have been living under pressure for such a long time. Come to think of it, this has been such a difficult year full of ups and downs.

As Myra was lost in her thoughts, Heather parked the car at the entrance of a tiny restaurant and she opened the car door with a smile. She lifted her head and glanced at the restaurant before turning toward Myra, who was by her side. Then, the two of them looked at each other and exchanged a knowing smile.
