If I'm right, that is where pregnant women go for check-ups. Could it be that...
A thought popped up in Lionel's mind, making him extra careful about jumping to conclusions.
Are we having a child?
“You're right, Mr. Gezmond. Ms. Saunders is pregnant. We managed to track her down because she went to the hospital for a checkup.”
Lionel turned to leave via the garden exit, but he stopped when he recalled that Wendy was still behind him.
“Send someone to watch her twenty-four-seven. Don't lose her again. I'll be in Belmonia Island in two days. Don't leave her out of your sight until I reach.”
“Don't worry, Mr. Gezmond. I will keep watch.”
When Wendy saw the unconcealable happiness on Lionel's face even after he hung up, she asked, “Did something good happen?”
Lionel did not hide the truth from Wendy since she had already come to terms with her own feelings and acknowledged that Holden was the man she loved, so she would not do anything irrational out of jealousy.
“Victoria is in Belmonia Island. She's pregnant.”
Wendy was momentarily stunned, but she quickly snapped out of it and said, “Then what are you waiting for? Go to Belmonia Island to find her. She is in her most helpless moment now. If you go to her now, she will slowly come to depend on you.”
Lionel would like to fly over immediately too, but he hesitated because Sebastian was still in danger.
“I'm not in a rush. We can wait until Sebastian is out of the woods.”
Wendy smiled and stood up to push Lionel out of the garden. “There's nothing you can do by staying here anyway. Only Holden can solve this problem. It will be hopeless if even someone like Holden can't save Sebastian.”
“But—”
“No buts. Just go to Victoria. Also, ask her to call me if she doesn't believe what you say. I'll explain everything to her.”
Despite Wendy's persuasion, Lionel still felt concerned. “Okay. If you want me to go to Belmonia Island, then you'll have to stay at Holden's. I can't just leave you here alone at the Gezmond residence.”
Wendy's first reaction was to disagree, but Lionel did not even give her a chance to do that. “If you don't, I'll stay here until Holden saves Sebastian.”
