Chapter 237 The Pregnant Woman

Vanessa explained, "Well, Henry helped out when your father was involved in the medical dispute. Noticing that we were concerned about the matter, people have kept us informed about it. They think it's a way to gain our favor."

She looked around and added, "We might get in other people's way if we talk here. Why don't we have a chat at the cate across the street? Emelie pondered briefly and nodded. "Alright."

As they stepped out, Emelie noticed it had started raining Vanessa's driver opened an umbrella to shield them, but Emelle took it from him.

"I'll do it." She held the umbrella over both of them as they walked to the cale

Willam, who had just arrived at the hospital entrance, happened to witness the scene. His eyes turned dark.

The cafe was quiet in the morning. They took a seat by the window, and a waiter brought the menu. "What would you like to drink?"

Vanessasmiled. "Emelie, you decide."

Emelle said, "One white coffee and one mocha, please."

"Got it." The water left.

Vanessa remarked warmly, "You remembered I like white coffer. You're always so considerate, keeping track of what others like Henry appreciated the chess set you gave him for his birthday last year."

As a secretary, remembering such details was part of Emelie's job. Emelie responded, "You've both been so kind to me. It's only right for me to show my gratitude."

Vanessa teased, "Of course, we have to take care of you. We consider you a daughter-in-law

Emelie pressed her lips together. "Mrs. Middleton, I've told you that there's nothing between Mr. Middleton and me anymore."

"Alright, alright. If that's what you said, then that's it. But you can still be our daughter, right?" Vanessa smiled inchilgently and warmly

Though a bit uncomfortable, Emelie couldn't show it. She chose to remain silent. Vanessa asked, "How's your father's injury?"

Emelle sighed. "It's pretty bad. He has a broken leg and is in a cast"

to heal properly. It would be best to get

"As people get older, their bones become brittle. Recovery isn't as quick as it is for the young. Plus, being in prison makes it hard for him to he him out soon so he can recover fully and avoid long-term mobility issues."

Vanessa continued gently, "If you need any help, I'm here for you.

Emelle wondered if Vanessa could help get Ronan out early. She frowned slightly. "Isn't that a bit too much trouble?

Vanessa smiled. “His sentence is almost up anyway. The additional days in solitary are a punishment, but the number of days can be negotiated."

If Ronan could be released early, Emelie wouldn't have to lie to Greta. Besides, she was also worried about Ronan's leg. She didn't refuse. "Thank you, Mrs. Middleton.

"We're family. Who else would I help if not you?"

The waiter brought their coffee, Vanessa book a sip, then gently set it down before continuing, "I remember you mentioned you share an apartment with a friend"

Emelie's eyelashes fluttered slightly. Calmly, she replied, "Yes, but my roommate recently went back to her hometown."

"Where is her hometown?

"A small town in a neighboring city."

which city, exactly? There are so many cities around us."

If Vanessa had just been trying to make casual conversation, she would have stopped at one or two questions. But this persistent questioning made it clear she had a purpose Emelie realized why Vanessa had come to see her.

She gripped the handle of her coffee cup and decided to go straight to the point. "Mrs. Middleton, is there something you want to tell me about my roommate?" Vanessa smiled. "You're as sharp as ever, Emelie."

She then took out her phone, opened a photo, and placed it on the table before sliding it towards Finelle. Emelie picked it up and immediately recognized it as a photo of a package containing delicacies from Wimstour City that she had sent to Mona

Vmessa spoke softly, "It's a small world. Your friend lives in the same town as Xenia Recently, she's been asking around about Xenta. When we visited her home, we saw a package you sent, and that's how we discovered she's your friend."

Vanessa's tone was casual, but Emelie felt a chill

They had discovered Mona was inquiring about the pregnant woman and had gone so far as to visit her home. They had even possibly searched her home since they found the per kage and hoked it back to her, They knew Mona had told Emelie everything she had discovered.

Hence, Vanessapproachedher Vanessa's offer to help Ronan get out early was not out of kindness but as part of a bargain

As expected, Vanessacontinued, "Wentia is due to give buth in three months. We plan to announce it after the baby is born, so we hope you can keep this secret for post.
