A Night's Mistake: The Besotted CEO's Obsession

Chapter 287

The elderly couple, while desiring a great–grandson, valued Cynthia more as their granddaughter– in–law. Realizing they had caused a misunderstanding, they felt remorseful for being overly assertive.

“This time, we acted too impulsively, Jasmine said, bowing her head low

Luckily, things are cleared up now. It would have been even more awkward to explain at the hospital, “Grandma Jasmine, it’s okay” Cynthia said, placing her hand over Jasmine’s to reassure her.

Cynthia’s rationality and understanding warmed Jasmine’s heart. Reflecting on Cynthia’s recent changes, as reported by Winnie, Jasmine felt concerned. If Cynthia wasn’t pregnant, could these developments indicate a health issue? Jasmine’s expression turned serious as she scrutinized Cynthia from head to toe.

Jasmine continued, “I heard that you’ve been unusually sleepy lately and eating more. Since it’s not pregnancy, I’m concerned there might be a health issue. Today happens to be a good time for you to come to the hospital with me for a checkup”

“Grandma Jasmine, there’s no need Cynthia’s cheeks thushed. She thought, “Who would have thought Grandma Jasmine would jump to the conclusion that she’s pregnant based on these symptoms?”

‘Could I say that my recent sleepiness was due to someone’s labor exploitation? Cynthia thought as she glared playfully at the man next to her. Receiving his wife’s reproachful glare, Liam raised his eyebrows helplessly. He had been working hard lately, but every attempt seemed to miss the mark. He began to doubt his accuracy.

Watching the exchange of glances between the two, Jasmine asked suspiciously, “Are you hiding something from us? Then, seemingly struck by a thought, she widened her eyes and pointed at Liam, saying incredulously, I couldn’t be that you are the one with a problem, and Cynthia, helping you keep it secret. Is that it?”

Hearing this. Liam took a deep breath. Grandma, what are you talking about?” Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“The more I think about it, the more it seems possible. You should take some time to get checked at the hospital. At your age, you don’t want to find out too late that there’s a problem,” Jasmine said, her words implying that Liam might be too old to easily father a child Cynthia almost burst out Laughing but managed to hold it in, knowing it wasn’t appropriate. Her face turned bright red.

This grandma was really something. With Liam’s stamina, how could there be any doubt? Cynthia, having studied medicine, understood well that sometimes pregnancy didn’t happen quickly. Many conditions needed to be met for their cells to unite successfully.

Liam’s face had darkened completely. Suppressing his frustration, he decided it wasn’t worth arguing with his insistent grandmother. He grabbed his car keys and left for work…

Cynthia had initially planned to visit Peace Hospital today. With no urgent matters to handle, she didn’t want to remain idle and intended to return to work. However, the visit from David and Jasmine forced her to postpone her plans.

After breakfast, feeling energized, Cynthia spent time chatting with David and Jasmine in the yard. Still concerned, Jasmine asked, “Cynthia, are you certain you don’t need to visit the hospital?”

“I’m fine.” Cynthia smiled wryly “Grandma Jasmine, don’t forget I’m a doctor.

“Yes, indeed. Our Cynthia’s medical skills surpass those of most average doctors. Grandma Jasmine nodded with a smile.

At that moment, Winnie brought a fruit platter and set it on the table. Instead of leaving, she addressed the group with an apology, “I’m so sorry. spoke out of turn last night and got carried away. I was too excited and didn’t think things throughs, which caused this situation. I apologize to all of you.”

Cynthia gazed knowingly and calmly at Winnie, remarking, “Winnie, I had already suspected it was you. But next time, please make sure you’re certain before speaking, so Grandpa David and Grandma Jasmine won’t get their hopes up for nothing” Winnie nodded quickly and replied, “Yes, yes, I understand,” before swiftly retreating.

Cynthia then brought over a chessboard. David wasn’t as agile anymore, so he used chess as a way to pass the time. Cynthia had honed her chess skills playing with Evan at the border, so she was quite proficient. David looked delighted. As they set up the chessboard, he graciously said, “Young lady, don’t think I’m giving you a hard time. I’ll let you make the first move.”

“I won’t hold back, Cynthia declared. She had learned from Liam that chess, alongside fishing and boxing, was one of David’s passions. Even after retirement, he had competed in senior chess tournaments, so Cynthia approached the game with utmost seriousness. Both players demonstrated deep understanding of chess, making the match intense. Jasmine, growing bored as she watched from the sidelines, eventually left to play cards

with her friends

Meanwhile, Liam sat in his office, his grandma’s words weighing heavily on his mind. ‘Am I getting old and facing health issues! he wondered. This thought had been troubling him for some time. Unable to bear it any longer, he pressed the intercom to summon Ziv.

“Mr. Sullivan, you wanted to see me?” Ziv stood respectfully by the desk.

Liam frowned and hesitated briefly. Then, with a deliberate, stern expression, he said coldly, “Later, use your ID to schedule an appointment with an andrologist.

“Huh?” Ziy questioned with a puzzled look, uncertain if he had misheard. “Mr. Sullivan. I’m perfectly healthy. There’s no need for me to see an andrologist.”

“I told you to make inwardly.

an appointment, not to see one” Liam gritted his teeth. He’s usually sharp at work. Why is he so dense now? Liam cursed

“Then, who is it for?” Ziv still didn’t understand. It wasn’t entirely his fault, to Ziv, Liam was a godlike figure, not someone who would need to make an appointment with an andrologist

Liam narrowed his eyes, gripping the pen so tightly that it nearly snapped in his hand. With effort, he forced out a single word through clenched teeth, “Me”

Realization hit Ziv like a ton of bricks, and he froze in place. “Mr. Sullivan, you?”

“Stop talking and make the arrangements immediately.” Liam’s expression darkened. He was unwilling to entertain further comments

With his growing recognition, Liam wished to avoid news of his andrologist appointment spreading widely by the next day. Since his physical build resembled Ziv’s, he figured he could disguise himself effectively and go unnoticed.

“Yes” Ziv replied promptly, upon making sense of the situation. He regained his composure and swiftly made the appointment using his ID. Half an hour later, they arrived at the hospital entrance. Liam wore sunglasses, a mask, and a baseball cap, resembling a celebrity trying to blend in This attire was a departure from his usual style, making it unlikely for ordinary people to recognize him.

Thanks to Ziv’s arrangements, they bypassed the waiting line. Liam sat inside the examination room while Ziv waited outside. The doctor. examining Liam’s test results, furrowed his brow. “You appear perfectly healthy. What brought you here?”

Upon hearing this, Liam’s tense nerves finally relaxed. He inquired, “Then, why isn’t my wife getting pregnant?” The doctor then asked, “How long have you been trying to conceive?”

“One month, Liam responded calmly. The doctor’s jaw dropped upon hearing this, and he almost Dung the report onto Liam’s face.

“This is not seed planting! It’s not that precise. It’s perfectly normal not to conceive within six months, let alone just one the doctor exclaimed. incredulously.
