A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 794 Pregnancy Confirmed

“Don’t be angry! It’s not good for your health. Take care of yourself!” Sylvie said. “I still have something else to do, so I need to leave first!”

“I will ask someone to take care of Bonnie. How is the relationship between Marley and you?” Cassius said afterward.

“I think we have reconciled!” Sylvie did not cover up the truth.

“Then, it’s great!” Cassius did not want to talk more because of Bonnie’s incident. “Sylvie, anyway, Bonnie is your sister!”

Sister?!

Sylvie laughed. How would she dare to recognize her as her sister?

“I am sorry. I do not have a sister! I will never treat her as my sister! Also, please don’t ever ask me to inherit the Mccarthy Group. If you didn’t insist on giving Mccarthy Group to me, how would she intend to harm me? Then, what happened today would not happen at all. As for what I really want, perhaps you will never know about it!” Sylvie said it with a sense of sadness and her eyes felt sore.

What she wanted was just a common family love. However, because of the presence of assets, the family love turned out to become a reason to kill among themselves. Instead of having the money, it might be better to not have it!

Cassius was slightly stunned and followed by a deep sigh. “The occurrence of this thing is truly my fault! But, Bonnie is truly not trustworthy. Sylvie, this is an enormous property involving over ten thousand people. They need to live and feed their families too. If I expand it continuously, there are more and more people getting involved. I can directly donate my assets at the moment when I die. But, how could those people survive? Some of them even work for the company for their entire lifetimes!”

“This...” Yes! Sylvie hesitated. Marley and Cassius said this before. All of these were responsibilities.

“I hope that you can shoulder it and let those people survive. This will be my greatest pleasure!”

“You can go and look for someone more suitable for recruitment or something. Talented people are everywhere!” She truly did not want to take up the responsibility. It was too heavy and almost suffocated her.

She did not grow up in a rich family so she did not have the ambition like those rich people. She just desired a normal and peaceful life so she could live her life meaningfully. That was all!

“Do you need me to beg you to let you agree to it?” Cassius preferred her because he thought that she was a potential and talented person. When making decisions, she was calm enough and she was not greedy. Also, she was able to be cruel when necessary. A person like her was suitable to manage a company!

“Then...” After hesitating for a while, Sylvie noticed his expectation at the bottom of his eyes. She nodded helplessly, “Alright!”

Cassius smiled and kindness was being expressed on his old face. “Thank you!”

Without knowing the reason, when Sylvie heard Cassius’s gratitude, she felt extremely heavy at her heart.

“Let the driver send you? Where are you going?”

“No need. I can take a taxi! Take care, Bonnie. I mean that you let her come out only after she is perfectly fine! She is becoming more and more paranoid!” After saying that, Sylvie left.

Hospital.

Sylvie was holding the laboratory report to draw blood.

The doctor asked her to do a blood test but not an ultrasound first. He was afraid that it would harm the fetus since it was still too small. Through the blood test, the biological data could determine the duration of pregnancy.

After drawing blood, she was waiting for the result but the person in charge of the laboratory notified her that the result would only be available at around half past ten.

Sylvie kept waiting for the time but it seemed to be so slow. When the time reached almost half past eleven, she was about to end her waiting.

At that moment, someone was walking from the lobby of the hospital. She was a woman and going to go upstairs but she suddenly saw Sylvie who was in the lobby to collect her laboratory report.

The woman was stunned at first but she dodged afterward.

Sylvie got her report.

On the blood test report, the result of HCG was 15084mIU/mL. Sylvie saw that there was an up arrow besides which meant that it was far beyond the normal range of a normal person.

She was holding the report but she could not understand it. So, she looked for a doctor and a doctor from the department of gynecology and obstetrics told her, “Congratulations! You are pregnant! It was about forty-five days!”

“Can this confirm my pregnancy?” Sylvie was slightly stunned.

“Yes. If you are confirmed that you want to have this child, come back to do an ultrasound after two weeks!”

“Oh! Thank you!” Sylvie’s heart started to beat rapidly at that moment. Was she sure that she had a baby? Since the blood test was not wrong, then she came to do the ultrasound two weeks later. “Thank you! Thanks!”

Sylvie grabbed the report and left happily!

She bumped into a girl accidentally in the corridor.

The report fell onto the ground and the girl picked it up then handed it over to her when she was apologizing at the same time.

Sylvie felt embarrassed because she thought that she was the one who knocked others for being too excited. But, the girl apologized unexpectedly.

She saw that the girl was waiting outside the ultrasound room. Since she was pregnant, she asked subconsciously, “Are you pregnant also?”

The girl nodded.

Sylvie showed a smiley and happy face, “I am pregnant too. My baby is forty-five days old.”

The girl smiled and congratulated her, “Congratulations! Hope that you can give birth to a healthy baby.”

“Thank you and I send the same greetings to you as well.” After saying that, Sylvie waved her hand then left.

Then at a corner, there was a handsome face that belonged to Aila. When Sylvie left, Aila looked at her back and her eyes shined for a while!

Hughes Group.

Chairman's office.

Meeting room.

Today, Aiden Hughes suddenly came.

He asked about the land.

In the meeting room, there was only Marley, Ernie Hughes, Tyler Cooper, and some other departmental managers!

“In my opinion, although the price for the land isn’t a big deal for Hughes Group whose funds are about to be circulated, I still think that the land is not worthy at all. Since the land is located in a small town, it would not bring a huge profit in the future regardless of any purposes. So, I think that we should give up the land! Since it is not worthy to be developed, there’s no need for us to waste the resources on labors and materials.” Marley explained it slowly and clearly.

In the meeting room, no one dared to produce any sound and it was completely silent in it. Everyone was looking at Aiden and Ernie who were sitting still there.

Ernie intended to purchase a small town at first so he specially asked the chairman to come!

Marley was opposed to the plan and no one dared to speak. They just looked at Aiden and Ernie.

But at that moment, Ernie raised the corner of his mouth. After a while, he raised his eyes slowly and looked directly at Marley, “The land was going to be exploited in the future and it had bright prospects. No matter how we develop it, it will be profitable!”

Marley knocked the table with his slender fingers and said steadily, “Ernie, when in the future you mentioned just now?”

“Marley, we need to plan long-term for a business.”

“Ernie, a long-term plan should be mainly subjected to a company’s profit. The funding chain of Hughes Group needs a long process to be restored so a long-term investment isn’t suitable for Hughes Group. No matter how cheap the land is, it still needs a few hundred million and the exploitation is only a hype from the local governments to increase the amount of tax during the auction. Without knowing how many years later, when can we take back the few hundred million that was being invested in there? Even after a few years, it is profitable but a long-term investment isn’t suitable for Hughes Group according to the current condition!” Marley did not give in at all and he stood up alone after saying. He looked at everyone in the meeting room and said gently, “I will not purchase the land. That’s all!”

Ernie truly made Marley angry this time. Even Tyler never saw that he banged the door forcefully and left a group of them in the meeting room.

Aiden did not speak but only looked at Ernie and said, “Ernie, your reason doesn’t work!”

Ernie smiled vaguely and said, “I have the plan map of the local governments!”’

“Regarding this matter, you better discuss with Marley!” Aiden stood up and said, “I go back too, that’s all!”

Tyler went to Marley’s office and he saw that Marley was standing in front of the French window to smoke when he went in. He smiled, “I don’t know what Ernie is going to do?”

“The land is profitable but it is not suitable for Hughes Group according to current conditions!” Marley smoked and turned around to sit back on the executive chair. “He is insightful!”

“You are standing at a different angle compared to him. So, you are looking at the question from a different perspective!”

Marley smiled bitterly, “Aiden will agree to the purchase eventually!”

“But, the chairman told him to discuss with you just now!” Tyler was slightly astonished.

Marley gently smiled and shook his head, “Let’s make a bet. Eventually, Ernie will get what he wants! Even though I am opposing, Aiden will use his position as a chairman to force me to sign the purchase agreement!”

“Will he?” Tyler was slightly stunned. “Marley, I found that when Sylvie isn’t here, your mind has become clearer!”

Marley raised his sharp eyebrows, “A tough fight is coming. When the first capital is received, you immediately give it to the Mccarthy Group! You do it personally!”

“Are you afraid that the capital will be used by others?” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“Yes! Give it to Mccarthy Group!”

“Noted. I will get it done personally. Also, I will go to the bank to check it this afternoon!”

“Yes. I will go back home to look for Sylvie now and I will be back in the afternoon!” Marley pinched out the cigarette butt and stood up.

Sylvie just walked out of the hospital and she was surprised by the news. At that moment, the feeling of surprise had spread in her heart and she felt extremely happy! Since then, she had a relative who was a growing baby in her stomach! A baby that was bred by her and Marley.

She could not bear from touching her stomach gently. At that moment, she decided to give a call to Marley to inform him about this news. But, would he be as happy as her? She started to panic because she cared a lot about it. Meanwhile, she had a feeling of gains and losses.

Also, she promised Cassius to take over the Mccarthy Group so she was destined to become a famous person!

After hesitating for a while, Sylvie was considering walking out of the hospital slowly. Then, she turned to her left and came to a quiet street-side outside the hospital. She kept a distance with vehicles and pedestrians then she called Marley. When the phone was picked up, she heard Marley’s exciting voice coming from the other side of the phone, “Sylvie, my wife, do you miss me? I am about to reach home! What do you want to eat? I'll go and buy it now!”

“Urgh! Marley, aren’t you at the office?” Sylvie did not expect that he would return home. From his voice, she knew that her call made him extremely happy!

“There’s nothing to eat at home so I'll buy some food back for you. Then, I go back to the office in the afternoon!” Marley was explaining than he suddenly asked, “Aren’t you at home?”

“I'm outside!” When Sylvie heard his voice, she hesitated and lastly, she believed him! ‘He said that he loves me, right? Since happiness is being controlled in my hands so without giving it a try, how could I know that the ending is either good or bad? Sylvie, aren’t you a fearless person? What are you afraid of? Tell him! He has the right to know because he is the child’s father!’ When she thought of this, she said with a relaxing tone, “Marley, I have something to tell you!”

“Where are you? I'm going to fetch you!” From her voice, Marley knew that she was extremely happy so he asked, “What makes you so happy, Sylvie?”

“Yes! I have a happy thing and I will tell you personally! Come and fetch me. I am outside of the hospital! I don’t want to hire a taxi!” Sylvie rarely acted like a child, “Can you come and fetch me?”

“Yes! I said that I am on the way to fetch you! I will be right there and which entrance of the hospital are you in?” Marley was making a U-turn when he called her. “What’s the thing? Why are you in the hospital? Do you feel uncomfortable? Sylvie?”

His tone was becoming worried subconsciously.

When she knew that he was worried, she could not bear laughing. “I will tell you when you are here! Don’t worry, I am fine!”

“It’s good that you are fine, you are scaring me!” He drove the car at a rapid pace as if he wanted to appear in front of her at that moment.

Sylvie was smiling subconsciously when she heard his exaggerated tone. Her soft lips were raised and her smile was so gentle and beautiful. “Be careful on the road!”
