After Rebirth: The Alpha Ex-Husband Is Addicted to Me-Chapter 200: I’m Pregnant (Part 4)

"Lucy has such a good heart." In Watson’s heart, all the knots suddenly disappeared without a trace. She smiled slightly, "I understand now why Mary Pond said those things to me; she wants me to break off my engagement with you."

"Do you want to break off the engagement with me?"

"I’m not a fool." She shook her head, "Even if what she said is true, I won’t break off the engagement with you in the short term."

"Why?"

"I’m still assessing you. What others say isn’t important; what’s important is the kind of person you are that I know. I want to feel it for myself. The first time I saw you, I felt that you were the one I wanted. I won’t easily let that go."

James’s eyes overflowed with laughter, and he suddenly pulled her into his arms to hug her. The fragrance on the woman was pleasant. James’s breath quickened, and he felt a bit nervous, not knowing where to place his hands, and finally daringly placing them around her waist, "Watson."

"Hmm?" Watson became as still as a stone, letting out a soft nasal sound.

"I like your personality."

Watson’s face turned red and she felt overjoyed.

The two didn’t speak any further, just held each other, remaining so for more than ten minutes.

When Watson returned to her room, James jumped onto the bed with excitement. He eagerly sent a message to Lucy Eaton: [I hugged Watson. It felt so good, Lucy, being in love is really nice.]

When Lucy received this message, she was about to sleep. She couldn’t help but reply to him: [Just look at you so hopelessly excited over a hug?]

James dialed the phone, and as soon as it connected, he said, "Whether I’m hopeless or not, aren’t you the clearest about that, Lucy? I really like Watson’s personality. Did you know, Mary Pond actually said some inappropriate things to her."

"What do you mean by inappropriate things?" Lucy was puzzled, "Specifically?"

He narrated everything one by one. After he finished speaking, James asked confusedly, "What do you think she means? I already made everything clear during the day, so how come..."

"Women’s thoughts are just that strange," Lucy pondered and said, "Tomorrow morning, I’ll go to the store to give her a warning."

"With you handling it, I’m relieved."

"It’s not a big deal," Lucy yawned, "It’s getting late, go to sleep."

"You too, Lucy dear, goodnight."

Lucy hung up the phone and snuggled into Jacob Green’s arms, falling into a deep sleep.

...

The next day, she had breakfast at half-past six and drove to the Joy for You store.

The employees had not yet started work, and when she arrived, everyone was dining on the third floor.

"Mary, come to the private room on the first floor to eat."

Mary Pond nodded without understanding, "Okay, Lucy sister."

When she went downstairs to the private room, Lucy Eaton was sitting on the sofa reading the morning newspaper.

Seeing Mary come in, she smiled pleasantly, "Have a seat."

Mary felt a bit uneasy, "Lucy sister, is there something you want to talk about?"

"It’s nothing major, just a hope that you don’t interfere with the progress between James and Watson. Let their relationship develop naturally."

Mary’s heart skipped a beat, "Lucy sister, I..."

"The ambiguous words you said to Watson last night — I understand your intention very clearly. Fortunately, she went to ask James. If she hadn’t, neither James nor I would know. This can be a big or small issue, don’t do similar things again in the future."

"Lucy sister, I really like James a lot right now. He also told me that he has no feelings for me, but I still don’t want to give up because there aren’t many people who treat me well, and I don’t want to miss out easily." As Mary spoke, her eyes turned red, "Lucy sister, can you help me? I know James listens to you the most, please give me another chance."

"I can’t help you with this. James and Watson are already engaged; they are fiancé and fiancée. If there are no accidents, they will get married in March next year. Mary, you and Watson are not in a fair competition, don’t you understand? If James and Watson weren’t engaged, you could pursue James however you want, but now it’s not possible."

Mary lowered her head, "I understand."

"If you take any more actions that are unfavorable to James, you’ll have to leave my store." Lucy made her point clear, "James is my best friend, and I won’t allow anyone to disturb his happiness."

Mary’s spirits were very low, "I won’t do it again."

"That’s good, go on with your work."

She stood up and went out to see James, who looked over from where he stood by the bar. Mary glanced at him with red eyes, then silently went to work.

Lucy didn’t stay long in the store before driving to the hospital. Now, the medical staff at Ningham First People’s Hospital all knew she was Jacob Green’s wife, and the financial backing behind the hospital was none other than Clan Green.

In no time, everyone understood that Lucy’s ability to work without assessment was not because she had a powerful father, but a powerful husband.

Those who once said she got in through dubious means couldn’t feel more ashamed.

Clan Green being the hospital’s largest owner, who needs an assessment to work in their own business?

Therefore, upon coming to the hospital, the medical staff, those who knew her and those who didn’t, all warmly greeted her. Lucy smiled and nodded in response to each one.

While she walked away, a nurse from the neurosurgery department whispered to several other staff members, "It reminds me of Dr. Sarah Reed and Dr. Faye’s inexplicable dismissals. At that time, Dr. Sarah Reed said that she and Dr. Faye were walking when a man wearing sunglasses and a mask stopped them and directly told them they were fired. That man must have been Jacob Green. You all know Sarah’s mouth, probably gossiping about Dr. Eaton."

As she said this, everyone nodded in agreement, "It must be like that. Sarah is so unfortunate, having such low EQ, saying things she shouldn’t, and now she’s lost her job."

Among these people, there was a doctor who had a good relationship with Sarah and relayed the speculation to her. Sarah texted back saying she was going to the hospital to ask Lucy Eaton for clarification. The doctor regretted being talkative, fearing it might implicate them, and quickly deleted Sarah’s contact information, so Sarah had no account on their side either. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Just after sending that message, Sarah added another, only to find the chat window showed that she was no longer friends with the other party. She checked her friends list and found the other was no longer there. In a fit of anger, she cursed, "Such a good dog!"

She hadn’t found a suitable job yet, so her frustration was understandable.

Arriving at the hospital, Sarah walked in with burning anger, pushing open the door to the neurosurgery office.
