Chapter 781 An Unexpected Discovery
During the conversation, Gideon casually mentioned a term related to
architectural design. After saying it, he realized that Charlotte might not
understand it. Just as he was about to explain, Charlotte naturally continued
the conversation, showing no signs of confusion.
Not only Gideon, but Lena and Joe also noticed this and looked at her.
Charlotte looked at them puzzled, “What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me
like that?”
Lena hugged her excitedly, “You understood what we were talking about!”
Only then did Charlotte realize that she had effortlessly understood every
technical term they had mentioned, without any difficulty!
“Maybe this could stimulate you and help you regain your memory!” Lena said
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtexcitedly, pulling Charlotte’s hand, “From today on, I’ll come here every day to
be with you! We can help you recover!”
Before Charlotte could say anything, Gideon frowned, “You can’t! I’ll come
every day!”
“Why can’t I?” Lena frowned.
“You just got out of the hospital, remember?” Gideon’s face turned gloomy.
When a person who usually wore a warm smile suddenly turned stern, it was
quite surprising; not only Lena but even Charlotte was taken aback.
“Hospital?” Charlotte looked worriedly at Lena. Although she had just met
Lena, she had an instinctive liking for her. Hearing that she had been to the
hospital, Charlotte immediately became concerned.
Lena blushed and gave Gideon an annoyed look but didn’t insist on coming to
accompany Charlotte anymore.
“She’s pregnant. She fainted when she heard that you went missing and later
found out,” Gideon said candidly, “She wanted to see you as soon as she
heard you were back but couldn’t come until now because the doctor wouldn’t
discharge her.”
Pregnant?
Not to mention Charlotte, even Joe looked surprised at Lena’s flat stomach.
Lena was first embarrassed for a moment, then she openly showed her belly
to Charlotte, “It’s just a little bean; you can’t even tell.”
“Is it your child?” Joe gave Gideon a meaningful look. No wonder he had
been so cautious, following Lena all along. It turned out he was worried she
might fall.
Gideon pursed his lips, and his eyes carried a hint of disappointment as he looked at Lena, “But she rejected my
marriage proposal.”
“Enough,” Lena quickly stopped him, even rolling her eyes at him.
Charlotte then spoke up, “Proposal? Is it because of the child in her belly?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGideon was stumped by her question, unable to speak immediately.
Watching his reaction, Lena dispelled her disappointment and said to
Charlotte, “Don’t worry about him; the child is mine alone, and he has nothing
to do with it.”
Charlotte’s clear eyes carried a penetrating gaze, “But you obviously care.”
Lena flushed and quickly changed the subject.
At this moment, Gideon looked thoughtful as he stared at Lena.
Was that the reason she had been refusing to accept his proposal?
He thought about his own feelings and realized that he didn’t want to marry
Lena just for the child. In fact, he didn’t care whether Lena had the child or
not.
What he really wanted was Lena herself, not just the mother of his future
child.
