Faced with Howard Geoffrey’s attitude of defending Rebecca Quentin, Mrs. Geoffrey seemed incredulous. She clutched her chest in a heart-wrenching manner, suppressing her grief and losing tone, "Son, you talk to your mother again and again for the sake of Rebecca Quentin..." She choked for a moment, "Ha, a son grows up and naturally doesn’t need his mother. Since you choose to be with Rebecca Quentin, your mother has no objections... Your mother came today just to talk about Alice Robinson. I’ll be visiting her at the hospital later. As for how you’ll handle it, I can’t control... In the future, I won’t meddle in matters between you and Rebecca Quentin. Do as you wish!" After saying this, Mrs. Geoffrey gave Rebecca Quentin a spiteful look and then turned to leave.
Inside the apartment, Rebecca Quentin sat dazedly on the sofa, her exquisite and beautiful face pale.
Howard Geoffrey sat down beside Rebecca Quentin, his arm around her, "Baby..."
Rebecca Quentin lowered her eyes, hiding her disappointment and discomfort deep within them.
Seeing Rebecca Quentin concealing her sadness, Howard Geoffrey gently cupped her face, looking at her slightly reddened eyes, he hoarsely explained, "It’s not what you think, actually Alice and I..."
Rebecca Quentin placed her index finger on Howard Geoffrey’s lips and gently shook her head, "Don’t explain to me, Howard... I just want you to answer me one question, did you really never touch Alice?"
Howard Geoffrey calmly replied, "No."
Rebecca Quentin suddenly rushed into Howard Geoffrey’s embrace, using all her strength to hold him tightly, and choked out, "Alright, that’s all I need to hear, I believe you..."
Howard Geoffrey appeared pleasantly surprised, holding Rebecca Quentin even tighter.
Rebecca Quentin leaned against Howard Geoffrey’s broad chest and slowly said, "Since I chose to be with you, I won’t doubt you anymore... Howard, I just want to cherish the hard-won happy ending we have."
Howard Geoffrey gently kissed the top of Rebecca Quentin’s hair, "Mhm."
Rebecca Quentin closed her eyes and quietly leaned in Howard Geoffrey’s embrace, letting time pass by.
After an unknown amount of time, Rebecca Quentin slowly lifted her eyes from Howard Geoffrey’s embrace and softly said, "Howard, you should still go to the hospital!"
"It’s not necessary."
Rebecca Quentin shook her head and earnestly said, "Your mom and Alice’s brother both think Alice is carrying your child, and now they’re at the hospital, you should give them an explanation."
"I’ll explain it to my mom later, as for the Robinson family, I don’t need to explain."
"You must explain because only when you clarify can your mom completely give up her expectations for Alice, and the Robinson family won’t think you wronged Alice anymore."
Howard Geoffrey kissed Rebecca Quentin again and huskily said, "Baby, I just want to be with you right now..."
Rebecca Quentin smiled softly, "Silly, are you afraid I’ll have wild thoughts?"
Howard Geoffrey looked at Rebecca Quentin affectionately, "Would you?"
Rebecca Quentin’s face showed a relieved smile, "I admit that when I heard mom mention Alice being pregnant, I felt really hurt... Previously, the newspapers reported Alice was pregnant, but it was later proven to be speculation from the media spotting Alice going for a check-up at a gynecology department, and then you told me there wasn’t anything between you and Alice as I imagined, so I didn’t keep it in my heart. But what your mom just said seemed to drag me down again, but after thinking it over, you’ve already assured me there’s nothing between you and Alice. If I argued with you over this and ruined the hard-won feelings we have now, there would be no point in us being together... Trust is vital between a man and a woman, so I’m willing to take the first step in trust and believe you won’t let me down in the future."
Howard Geoffrey lowered his head and kissed Rebecca Quentin’s lips.
Rebecca Quentin tilted her head and responded somewhat shyly to Howard Geoffrey.
There was a deep affection conveyed between them, and their mutual trust seemed to be as deeply rooted as it could possibly be.
After a long time, Rebecca Quentin gently pushed Howard Geoffrey away and softly said, "Okay, you should go to the hospital..."
Howard Geoffrey nodded, "Mhm, do you want to come with me?"
"I’m not going; Andrew is at home, I’ll stay to take care of him."
"Alright... I’ll be back soon." Howard Geoffrey said as he landed another kiss on Rebecca Quentin’s forehead.
Howard Geoffrey got up.
Rebecca Quentin kept watching Howard Geoffrey’s back until he was about to open the door to leave when she suddenly called out, "Howard!!"
Howard Geoffrey stopped walking, and Rebecca Quentin had already run over, grabbing Howard Geoffrey’s hand, "I’ve thought about it, I should go to the hospital with you, to also officially announce us being together."
"Alright, I’ll have Jason Wood come and watch Andrew."
Howard Geoffrey quickly drove to the hospital.
With Chester Robinson’s protection, no one inside the hospital was aware of Alice being admitted for pregnancy, so when Howard and Rebecca arrived at the hospital, there were no media following.
After a phone call with Chester Robinson, the two went straight to Alice’s ward.
Outside the ward was only Mrs. Geoffrey, whose face looked very worried.
Howard Geoffrey walked over holding Rebecca Quentin’s hand, "Mom..."
The worried Mrs. Geoffrey suddenly came back to her senses. Seeing Howard Geoffrey with Rebecca Quentin there, her face turned extremely displeased, but she wasn’t in the mood to reprimand Howard Geoffrey right now, and expressed her concern, "Alice is still undergoing tests, the doctor said she has had a miscarriage scare, it’s uncertain if the baby can be saved..."
Before Mrs. Geoffrey could finish, two doctors and a nurse came out of the ward.
"Doctor Robinson, I’ll head over there first..."
"Alright, thank you, Dr. Warner."
One doctor and the nurse left, leaving just one doctor remaining.
Mrs. Geoffrey immediately approached and asked, "Doctor Robinson, how is Alice?"
In his white gown, Chester Robinson’s gaze had already shifted to Howard Geoffrey. He looked over but finally focused on Rebecca Quentin beside Howard Geoffrey.
Rebecca Quentin also noticed Chester Robinson at this time. Updates are released by novel fire.net
He had the surname Robinson...
Mrs. Geoffrey mentioned that Alice’s brother is a doctor, so this person before them must be Chester Robinson.
For some reason, upon seeing Chester Robinson for the first time, Rebecca Quentin felt an unusual sensation.
The Robinson siblings looked quite similar, so Chester in front of her also had outstanding looks.
Simply dressed in a hospital white gown, he looked very good, with that naturally exuded doctor’s aura, enhancing his charisma.
If Howard Geoffrey gave the impression of innate nobility and unattainable superiority at first sight, Chester Robinson before her conveyed a sense of gentle elegance and refinement.
