CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery
Chapter 1416

Nina guessed he was hiding something on purpose.

But without any evidence or specifics, all she could do was gently encourage him. "You're doing so well right now, which is exactly why I hope you'll see a doctor if you're not feeling well. I want you to live a long life. Don't you also look forward to seeing the kids grow up? Imagine being at their weddings with us, it'd be wonderful to share that."

"Yes, it would be amazing to see that day come," Pharaoh said, feeling a pang of hope.

Sadly, he knew his past mistakes had hurt many people, and perhaps this illness was his punishment. For him, reconciling with his daughter before the end and being able to sit together like this, talking peacefully, was more than enough. He had to be grateful. As he was thinking this, a wave of tightness hit his chest, and he began to cough violently.

Nina quickly reached out, patting him on the back. Orion rushed over with a cup and carefully poured some warm water from the thermos. Handing it to Pharaoh, he said, "Grandpa, have some water. It'll help you feel better."

When Orion had a sore throat, warm water always soothed it. Pharaoh took a tissue, wiped away the blood from his mouth, and tossed it discreetly into the trash. Taking the cup from Orion, he drank it in one gulp. It was just plain water, yet to him, it tasted wonderfully sweet.

"Let me call the doctor to come by and check on you, maybe get you some medicine. You don't have to keep suffering like this," Nina offered, hoping to use this opportunity to get more information about his condition.

But Pharaoh shook his head again. "No need for all that. I slept with the window open last night, caught a little chill, and now I'm just dealing with a cough. It's nothing serious."

He was so insistent that Nina

couldn't very well force the doctor

on him. She chatted with Pharaoh a while longer, then brought the two kids over. Pharaoh's face lit up when he saw Gemma, and he couldn't get enough of holding her. With his granddaughter in his arms, he told stories to Orion, and the three of them together were the picture of harmony.

He even prepared Gemma's formula himself, carefully holding the bottle as he fed her. Despite his patience feeding a baby can be tricky, and Gemma was more interested in grabbing at his chin than drinking her milk.

Pharaoh laughed, not the least bit flustered, coaxing her gently, "Just a little more, Gemma, and I'll let you tug on Grandpa's chin as much as you want. You won't want an empty tummy later, I promise that it doesn't feel good!"

Gemma, of course, had no idea what he was saying, but she sensed his warmth and kindness, giggling happily.

Nina watched from nearby, wanting to help, but Pharaoh waved her off. "Let me enjoy her a bit longer. She's such a sweetheart."

"I'm just worried you'll get tired. Why don't you put her down for a bit and rest?" she suggested.

"It's no trouble. Our little Gemma is light as a feather! Even if you let me hold her all day and night, I wouldn't get tired," Pharaoh replied with a chuckle.
