Chapter 198 Chaos

The nurse interjected at this time. "You can’t do the pregnancy test now, but you can come by tomorrow morning. Seeing that you’re vomiting so much, you must be two or three months along. You should pay attention to your diet and get more rest." Lindsey nodded her head. At some point, Yvette Wendell had already slid over next to Lindsey and took Lindsey's arm as if they were very close. "You don't have a belly and you're pregnant? Does Shaun know? Are you married?" "Yes, I’m married." Lindsey heard Yvette mentioning Shaun and told Yvette not to tell Shaun about her pregnancy. Seeing that Yvette was fine, Lindsey intended to go her separate way as they walked to the entrance of the hospital. "Where are you staying? Do you have any money on you?" Lindsey was still carrying a large bag of daily necessities in her hand. She was feeling a bit sleepy and began to yawn. Yvette shook her head and said, “They took everything from me. I don’t even have my phone.” "Then where’s your relative's house? I'll send you there." "I forgot." Yvette looked at Lindsey with her big, round eyes and continued, "My brother sent me the address on my phone, so I didn’t memorize it." Lindsey was a bit annoyed. ‘Such a kid!’ However, Lindsey could not possibly leave Yvette alone, so she patiently asked, "Then do you at least remember your brother's or relatives' phone numbers? I'll call them for you." Yvette immediately said, "Who remembers phone numbers these days?" Lindsey felt helpless. "Then what are you going to do tonight?" Yvette clung to Lindsey’s arm. “Lindsey, will you let me stay with you? It’s already so late. Just one night...I promise I’ll think of a way to contact my family tomorrow.” In fact, it was easy to find anyone with the technology nowadays, but Yvette just wanted to pester Lindsey. Seeing her childish face, Lindsey could not possibly leave her behind. In the end, Lindsey sighed and took Yvette back to the hotel. "You don't snore in your sleep, do you? Do you have any bad sleeping habits?" Lindsey asked Yvette jokingly. When the elevator arrived at their floor, Lindsey took out her key card from her pocket and handed her phone to Yvette because she could not hold onto it. Lindsey’s phone suddenly lit up and showed a long list of missed calls. "Lindsey, you have a lot of missed calls." Yvette held the phone out for Lindsey to see. "Oh, it's fine. Don't worry about it." Lindsey thoughtlessly swept a glance. The door opened with a chime and she took Yvette inside. In the middle of the night, Yvette was making a fuss about eating supper, so she took Lindsey’s phone to order takeaway. Lindsey initially did not have much appetite, but she managed to eat some perhaps because she did not eat anything all day or she was affected by Yvette’s good appetite. Although in the end, she still vomited it all out, she felt much more comfortable. Lindsey could not really sleep in a new environment. Yvette also had insomnia from the trauma earlier that night, so the two of them chatted. In Atlantic City hundreds of kilometers away, many people also lost sleep that night. With Lindsey's departure, Zayn seemed to have unsealed the ruthlessness in him. Denarius had been somewhat passive in its attacks on Hemera and Wilford lately, but all of a sudden, they became more aggressive. The scandal-ridden President Guggenheim back then was just a front so that everyone would think that he was a womanizer that did not care about business. Suddenly, he gave everyone a fatal blow. Allie listened to Liam Wilford’s instructions and urgently arranged for various departments to work overtime. Lindsey never answered any of Allie’s calls in the afternoon, so Allie could not help but spilled the truth to Liam, with whom she was video calling. "Brother, Lindsey’s pregnant." On the screen, Liam's originally nonchalant expression froze. He then sat up from his chair at once. "What did you say?" His expression was gloomy. Allie had been torn about whether to tell Liam because he had always been uncharacteristically defensive of Lindsey and had even scolded her because of Lindsey. When she saw Liam's glum face, Allie realized that she had made the right call. "Lindsey’s pregnant. It's Zayn's child." Allie clenched her teeth as she said this. Liam swept his glass of water to the ground, which shattered to pieces. Allie was shocked by his reaction and thought incredulously, ‘Could it be that Liam really likes Lindsey? Otherwise, why such a big reaction?’ The video call was suddenly cut off by Liam. Allie was sitting, but after a few moments, she stood up and started to pace back and forth. She then called Lindsey again. Unfortunately, there was still no answer. On the other hand, Shaun Juhl was also in a pressing situation. Callum Wendell, Yvette’s brother, had a violent temper even though his name was supposed to signify a dove that brought peace and calmness. Shaun was already busy with everything going on in the company, but he still had to endure Callum's outburst over the phone. "Mr. Wendell, your sister and I are really just ordinary friends...she likes me, but I don't like her. What does her disappearance have to do with me?" This statement was a little irresponsible. Shaun knew that it was related to him, but in a fit of anger, he could not take back his words. "Mr. Wendell, I really don’t know where she went. I’ve called her but no one answered. You might as well ask your relatives again." After saying that, Shaun hung up and tossed his phone aside. His assistant next to him was startled. He had never seen Shaun like this. After a while, he gulped and said, "Mr. Juhl, our stock suddenly plunged. It seems that someone is manipulating it. It’s not just us. Also..." Shaun rubbed his brow in annoyance. Besides Zayn, who else would it be? It was fine if Zayn did not retaliate. Once he did, he would make sure that his opponents would sustain sizable damages. This time, Zayn had made ample preparations. He made Hemera spit out everything they took from Denarius. Even this might not be enough. Shaun simply gave his assistant an order. He was vexed because of Callum’s call and thought that something might have happened to Yvette. When he thought of how annoying Yvette was, he frowned, but he still dialed her number. "Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable." Shaun cursed and took out his car keys. He drove around the city looking for the seemingly underaged bubbly girl. The Denarius office building was brightly lit. All departments were working overtime, but they were all energetic. Quentin hesitated at the door for a while. When he thought of the Old Master's orders, he made up his mind and walked into Zayn's office. "President, Madam just arrived in Harrisburg. She’s staying at the Crowne Plaza. The environment is quite decent. Tonight..." "Get out." The man did not even lift his eyes from his documents. Quentin instantly stopped talking and choked on his words. He felt uncomfortable with all these unspoken words, but the man in front of him was calm and indifferent. His handsome face looked as if he was completely uninterested. Considering that Lindsey was not hurt, Quentin felt that it was not a big deal and decided not to continue reporting her situation. After Quentin left the room, Zayn lifted his head. It was pitch black outside the window. If he buried his heart there, no one would see it.
