Chapter 1094: I Heard Your Wife Is Pregnant—Congratulations
The happiest about Crystal Landon’s pregnancy was the Shaw Family’s old lady.
The old lady hurried over with supplements, thinking about the empty Shaw Mansion, finally about to welcome new life, her face was all aglow with joy, nearly tearing up when she saw her granddaughter-in-law, patting her hand.
The Shaw Family was finally about to welcome a new little life. She could finally give an account to the ancestors.
That night, Richard Shaw stayed at the hospital to take care of everything.
Richard Shaw’s marriage had never been publicly announced, but when the doctors and nurses at the Military District Hospital saw the Major General personally staying behind to take care of things, and the old lady of the Shaw Family had rushed over in person, with Crystal Landon being pregnant, it was obviously carrying the Shaw Family’s child, wasn’t it? For a moment, there were those who envied, those who gossiped, those who were curious; it was bustling with excitement.
As for Luna Lawrence, who had been sent in earlier, she was thoroughly forgotten.
Due to prior incidents, Richard Shaw didn’t dare to assert his presence in front of Crystal Landon too much, fearing it would affect her mood.
The man stayed in the adjacent ward, waiting until Sister Zhao said that the Young Madam had fallen asleep before entering the ward.
Richard Shaw sat by the bedside, looking at her small sleeping face, lost in thought for a long time. They hadn’t been together often, and he never expected she would get pregnant so soon. School would certainly have to let her take a break; for the remaining eight months, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to leave her side. For the arrival of this new life, he had an inexplicable mix of emotions.
He secretly hoped for it, yet felt all this was too sudden, so sudden that he was caught off guard.
Richard Shaw tucked in her blanket, touched her small face, then got up to the corridor to smoke a cigarette.
In the deep night, during the chilly spring season, the hospital’s VIP ward area was unusually silent. The man leaned against the cold white wall, his slender fingers holding a cigarette, smoke swirling, the cigarette glow flickering in the darkness.
"Richard," Luna Lawrence supported herself on crutches, wearing hospital robes, walked over with some difficulty, calling softly, her face pale.
Luna Lawrence felt the day dragged on endlessly. The entire hospital was talking about Major General Shaw and his pregnant wife. When she learned of it from a young nurse, she almost ground her teeth to bits.
She knew they had been married for over a year, but Richard Shaw had been stationed in the Southwest Military Zone, not even returning to the Imperial City for New Year’s. Why did he have relations with that woman as soon as he returned to the Imperial City? Having relations aside, they even have a child. Her joy of being personally brought by him to meticulously find a doctor in the morning was instantly shattered,
Luna Lawrence endured through the day, only at night did she come out on crutches, seeing him standing in the corridor smoking, she struggled to walk over.
"Luna, why are you out here?" The man’s voice was exceptionally low and hoarse in the dark, carrying a steady, reassuring tone.
"I heard your wife is pregnant, I came to congratulate you." Luna Lawrence’s eyes were moist, she walked over, looking up at his handsome and cold face, her voice choking, "I just had a dream, dreamed of the times when brother was still around, dreamed of the Southwest Military Zone, dreamed of you telling me how wonderful the world outside the mountains was. But when I left the mountains, I found brother was gone, and you were gone too."
After speaking, tears rolled down Luna Lawrence’s face as she wept: "I saw Crystal Landon, she’s truly beautiful, obviously a pampered daughter raised in wealth, different from us girls from the mountains. When I see her, I feel inferior."
