As soon as Milia finished speaking, William sneered. "You really enjoy your reign right now, huh? You're so busy all day long. Guess I've underestimated you!"
These words are full of irony.
When Milia sat down, she raised her eyebrows, her expression was not good. "So you told me to come just to make fun of me?"
William did not answer the question. "Lilia has been investigating the accident at the event, do you know about it?"
"How could it be?" Milia said nonchalantly. "It's been a long time since that happened, what could she investigate? Even the person who did it is gone. Nonetheless, her investigation into the matter doesn't mean she can find out the truth."
Milia is sure of this.
To be exact, she believed in Ricky's method!
William looked up at Milia's fearless gaze, then smiled deeply. "Are you sure?"
"Of course! Are you looking for me just for this?"
William pursed the corners of his lips. "She came here earlier today, and tomorrow you will help me manipulate some hot searches on a topic where Lilia still has feelings for me."
Milia gave him a strange look. "Oh, the same 'old love' thriving again?"
'Are you sick?!' She sneered inwardly.
Lilia is now married, even if she is not married and comes to the hospital to visit him as a patient, how come people believe that she's looking for a way to go back with him?!
William answered, facing the girl's delicate eyes with a very calm face. "Yes, let people feed on this 'old love coming back'! Do you think that's too much or do you think I'm sick?"
Milia was speechless.
Perhaps after reading the sarcasm she threw on him, William looked at Milia. "How long have you been in the industry, do you really think you've seen it all?"
"This is not for getting people to believe the gossip is true. Lilia's presence here means that she still cares about me. In the entertainment industry, the wrong news can often spark heated discussions among people, and as long as there is discussion, the heat will remain there."
William explained patiently, but the disapproval on Milia's face was still clear.
"You ..."
She still wanted to coax a few words, but when she changed her mind, she didn't mean to say more.
William narrowed his eyes on her. "What do you want to say?"
"Nothing. If there's nothing else, I'll be going first." Milia stood up as she spoke, and left the ward first without waiting for William to speak again.
That man really pissed her off!
After learning that William's leg was paralyzed, Milia no longer wanted to have any contact with him.
He was just an outcast, sooner or later he would be outdone by his age.
William just wanted to use her to help him continue to manipulate popular searches, but Milia would make sure that would stay a dream!
After she casually closed the ward door, a grin of disgust appeared on her face.
She walked two steps forward, looked back at the door, and disappeared at the end of the corridor with a snort.
Right now, Milia probably didn't think that this would be the beginning where she would be blocked and boycotted by the entire industry.
...
The next day, at six in the morning, Lilia was still asleep. Then for some reason, she felt very uncomfortable. When she woke up calmly, she felt her stomach churn.
Her misty eyes were still red, her face changed in the next second, and she closed her mouth and ran to the bathroom.
It was her second morning sickness, and she was still getting up aggressively.
The man immediately opened his eyes, and he rushed to follow. Seeing his wife's pale face while constantly vomiting in front of the toilet, Jean furrowed her thick brows.
With a calm face, he bent down and patted her back gently.
"It's just a… I'm fine!" Lilia cupped the hair behind her head with one hand, her voice limp. After she felt a little better, she spoke weakly.
The crease on the man's forehead got deeper. Lilia rinsed her mouth with water without saying a word. Jean then took her back to bed after seeing that her symptoms of morning sickness had subsided.
He stroked Lilia's forehead gently, making his fingertips soak in fine sweat.
Lilia gripped her stomach and let out a deep breath, then whined, "Jean, I want to go to the hospital..."
The man's gaze immediately sharpened. "What's the matter? Do you feel sick somewhere?"
Anxiety flashed through his eyes as Lilia's face was getting paler along with her thin lips.
Lilia then reached out her hand and stroked Jean's hair knowing that her words might scare her husband.
She rose slightly and slid into the man's embrace weakly, with a tinge of uncertainty. "No, don't worry. I just wanted to do a B-ultrasound. Two months have passed. We should be able to hear our baby."
During this period, she was busy with her work and her morning sickness reminded her of a pregnancy test.
"Okay, I'll arrange it!" The man's voice was hoarse.
Lilia nodded in his arms. "Today or tomorrow is fine, you don't need to rush and worry too much."
"Alright. It's still early, so you can still get some sleep." The man then hugged and kissed her forehead. Seeing that he wasn't excited after morning sickness, deep pity rose in his eyes.
In less than five minutes, Lilia fell asleep in his arms.
After a deep breath, Jean quietly left the bedroom.
...
At eight in the morning, Lucas, the Widjaya family's personal doctor, stepped into the living room.
With a sleepy expression on his face, he kept his spirits up and stared at the man opposite him. "Young master Jean, I've called the gynecologist so we can go straight at 10 am."
"Good."
The man's expression was deep and he responded lightly.
Lucas scratched his head, not knowing what he was thinking and asked, "Is there any other need?"
"Confidentiality!"
Lucas nodded. "It's not a problem. Surabaya Central Hospital is a private high level hospital. All VIP wards are not allowed to reveal the identities of their patients."
The man's sharp eyebrows loosened a little, followed by a nod and the room fell silent again.
Lucas looked at Jean and noticed that the man was very worried. He then wiped his face and said soothingly. "Young master, you don't have to worry too much. Everyone goes through this kind of process during pregnancy. "
Jean wondered. "Is there anything to ease the symptoms?"
"It's ... there's no good way at this point. However, everyone's physical condition is different. Basically, after four or five months, the conditions will be better later."
After saying that, Lucas felt a cold, piercing wind blow through his forehead.
He blinked and lifted his eyes to meet the man's gaze. Why did his feelings tell him that Jean's expression seemed to question his credibility as a doctor?!
Lucas massaged his nape then rubbed his forehead. "Then, we should quickly go to the hospital. I'll ask my sister if there's a medicine to help relieve the symptoms."
Jean's expression eased. "Okay."
Lucas felt like changing his job in a blink of an eye. He was a surgeon but Jean just used him as a gynecologist.
...
At 09:30, Lilia and his entourage drove to the Central Hospital Surabaya.
In the car, she called Harold and said that she would immediately arrive at the venue later. If there is a complaint from their working partners, Milia can handle it.
Harold didn't say much and just agreed to her request.
When she was about to arrive at the hospital, Jean received a call from his cellphone. The call came from Kenny in a very worried tone.
"Mr. President, people from the Economic Investigation Team came to the company again and said that they are looking for the person responsible for further investigation."
