I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 684 - 683: Pregnant?! (6)

"Vera, come, come quickly!" Henry Cooper beckoned her from his bed. As Vera approached and sat down, he gently patted her shoulder. "I know everything now, and you mustn’t feel pressured. This isn’t your fault!"

"Mmm!" Vera nodded, holding back her tears. "Thank you, Grandfather!"

Tommy Taylor called, and Christoper Cooper rushed to Ashton to handle work. Bailey Hansen also received a call and hurried away.

Only Vera and Henry Cooper were left at home. Vera poured a glass of water for the old man. After Henry took a few sips, he patted her arm with a smile.

"You should go rest a while too. Grandpa’s sleepy and wants to take a nap."

After helping the old man into bed and tucking him in, Vera watched as he gradually fell asleep. Only then did she quietly leave the room.

She went upstairs to the study, sat down in a chair, and propped her temples with her hand as she sank into deep thought.

From what she could see, the whole case was highly unfavorable for Kris Cooper. What should she do next to prove that he wasn’t the murderer?!

After sitting on the couch for over an hour without any productive ideas, she felt anxious about the old man and quietly went downstairs to his bedroom. On pushing open the door, she found no one inside.

Vera glanced around, puzzled. She noticed the half-open door of the study opposite and went over. Through the gap, she indeed saw the old man sitting at the desk, scanning a Rolodex with his reading glasses on.

The old man, his eyesight failing with age, struggled to read the small numbers on the cards. Even dialing the phone numbers was a challenge, digit by painstaking digit.

"Chief Taylor, it’s me, Henry Cooper... Do you know any criminal lawyers?... As long as they can win the lawsuit, money is no obstacle... Okay... Alright... Thank you, I’ll wait for your call..."

After hanging up, the old man laboriously dialed the next number.

"Liu, it’s me..."

Vera stood outside the door holding the handle for a moment, but finally decided not to disturb the old man.

With such a precious grandson, his worries were self-evident. The old man was merely hiding his true concern for Kris in front of her.

She went upstairs again, walked out onto the balcony, and stared at the gloomy sky outside as she once again fell into deep thought.

That night, it wasn’t until the early hours that Christoper Cooper and Bailey Hansen returned home. They ran up to the study on the third floor to discuss things quietly, afraid of letting the old man overhear.

Vera was lying in her bed, unable to sleep. Although she couldn’t hear what they were saying, she could guess that they were talking about Kris’s situation.

When the two of them exited the study and passed by Vera’s room, Christoper stopped.

"You go in and check. She’s been in a terrible mood these few days. I don’t know if she’s asleep yet. I hope she’s not overthinking things."

Bailey quietly pushed the door open. Vera quickly closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep. Seeing her "sleeping" soundly, Bailey exited the room.

"She’s asleep. Let’s go downstairs, softly!" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

A moment later, the staircase went quiet.

Inside the room, Vera’s pillow was damp with tears.

「The next day.」

Vera brought the delicious food prepared by Mrs. Zhang and went to the detention center to visit Kris Cooper.

The man was still impeccably clean, his white shirt spotless. He looked as casual and smirking as always, projecting an air of ’nothing’s wrong.’ However, the vivid bloodshot eyes and slight dark circles under his eyes betrayed the truth.
