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

Chapter 288

“Our sex life is quite active. It feels almost unusual that we haven’t conceived yet after so much effort.” Liam’s expression was one of genuine confusion.

“Could you clarify just how frequently you two are engaging in intimacy” the doctor asked Liam proceeded to detail the numerous occasions they had shared intimate moments recently. The doctor, who initially sat in a relaxed posture, now sat up straight, his eyes widening with a mix of respect and surprise. “Impressive. Your health seems robust, which is good, but such a frequent schedule isn’t sustainable. Sperm need time to regenerate. Engaging in too much sex isn’t actually beneficial for conception,” he explained thoughtfully. The conversation then shifted to the impact of sex frequency on pregnancy. In conclusion, the doctor recommended that Liam adopt a more balanced frequency of sexual encounters, At this, a shadow passed over Liam’s face. He had been looking forward to their attempts at conceiving without any limitations, but the doctor’s advice suggested he needed to hold back. Internally, he sighed. This is going to be more difficult than I thought:

As Liam left the doctor’s office. Ziv was quick to follow, clearly concerned about Liam’s well–being. He wanted to ask how Liam was feeling but paused upon noticing Liam’s preoccupied and somber look. They moved quickly through the hallway when unexpectedly, a man burst around a comer, bumping squarely into Liam and knocking the papers he was holding from his grasp. “Oh, I’m terribly sorry,” the man apologized, bending over swiftly to pick up the scattered papers. As he handed them back to Liam, their eyes locked. “Liam What brings you here? Hallet asked, taken aback. His eyes then inadvertently drifted to the paperwork. Ziv Laurier, andrology. If memory serves, Ziv is Liam’s assistant. Could Liam really be so caring as to accompany him here personally?’ he pondered.

A slight frown creased Liam’s brow as he thought. It seems what one dreads always comes to pass. Hallet is not known for his discretion, nor can he keep a secret. With that in mind. Liam grabbed the report from Haller and handed it to Ziv. “Keep your own report,” he instructed sharply

“O–Of course,” Ziv agreed quickly, securing the report with ease. Hallet, meanwhile, stroked his chin thoughtfully, eyeing them with a hint of suspicion.

Choosing not to elaborate, Liam changed the topic abruptly. “I heard you’re the interim CEO of Larson Group now, You seem quite relaxed now that things have seuled down at the company.

Hallet’s reply was brisk and dismissive. “That’s none of your business”

Liam scoffed at his words. “Remember, I have investments in Larson Group. If your leadership causes me losses, you’ll definitely be hearing from me he warned before walking away briskly, leaving no room for Hallet to retort

Hallet stood there, watching Liam leave, his hand clenched into a fist. “You think you’re such a big shot just because you’re rich!”

Queena, appearing beside him, chimed in, “What’s going on?” Hallet had accompanied Queena for a check–up at the hospital that day and had gone to pick up her medical report when he unexpectedly ran into Liam.

Snapping out of his reverie, he asked with a hint of frustration, “Guess who I just ran into?”

“Who?” Queena asked.

It’s Liam. He even brought his assistant to a consultation for andrology. Is he really that considerate?” Queena shook her head, clearly puzzled. She knew that apart from David and Jasmine, the only other person Liam had ever accompanied to the hospital was Cynthia. Haller

continued, “There must be more to this story. This concerns Cynthia, so I have to tell her this” He then took out his phone and dialed Cynthia’s number, with Queena listening intently at his side.

At that moment, Cynthia was deeply absorbed in a chess match with David. She was slightly startled when she received Haller’s call. Recently, Hallet had been overwhelmingly busy, having just moved into a new place and hadn’t really had the chance to get in touch. Cynthia teased him, “Hallet, has Queena left you all alone, so now you’re seeking out my company?”

Tve been dedicating myself to running the company on your behalf, and here you are, nuking jokes. I was actually worried about your future, but maybe I shouldn’t have bothered,” Hallet responded, pretending he might hang up.

I’m just kidding around. What’s going on? Cynthia’s spirits were high as she triumphantly captured one of David’s pieces on the board. She had previously suffered defeats at his hands, but today she had managed to secure two victories, boosting her confidence. Yet, the memory of past losses slightly tainted her current victories, David, for his part, appeared undisturbed and remained laid– back,

Over the phone, Hallet shared his recent encounter with Liam. He concluded, “Didn’t you notice anything peculiar about him? Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

The venousness in Hallet’s tune mude Cynthia’s demeanor shift to one of solemn concern. “Got it. I’ll have a word with him,” she assured him before hanging up. While Hallet was suspicious and eager to delve into potential secrets Liam might be hiding, Cynthia was more concerned about Liam’s health. She quickly located Liam’s number and made the call.

David could sense the tension and set aside the chess p game, asking, “What’s wrong!”

Just as Cynthia began to respond, Liam answered the phone with his deep, familiar voice, “Cynthia, what’s up?”

genuine worry, she asked, “Were you at the hospital earlier today?”

At that moment, Liam was in the back of a car, analyzing complex graphs on his laptop that would baffle most. Liam’s expression shifted subtly as he internally cursed. That big mouth Haller can’t keep anything to himself. He had not intended to inform Cynthia of his visit to the hospital. It was only upon leaving that he realized perhaps he had been too secretive about something so trivial. Nonetheless, Hallet’s indiscretion forced him to explain everything to Cynthia to avoid any misunderstandings.

This revelation made Cynthia find Liam even more endearing. She whispered back, “You do remember I’m a doctor, right? You could always discuss these things with me.”

“How could I possibly ask you that? Liam replied, feeling a bit embarrassed.

With a playful tone, Cynthia whispered, “I didn’t realize you were such a shy guy.”

Hearing this, Liam looked up from his laptop, his gaze drifting to the window as he smiled. “So, do you prefer me shy or bold!” Caught slightly off- guard and with David close by, Cynthia decided not to venture into more flirtatious territory. She quickly wrapped up their conversation, assuring Liam and switching back to address David’s concern

“Cynthia, what was that about with Liam?” David pressed immediately

call ended

Cynthia flashed a comforting smile at him. “Don’t worry, Grandpa David. Liam’s fine. He was just gening a routine check–up, and he’s in perfect health.”

David visibly relaxed, comforted by her reassurance. That’s a relief
