The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 208 Examination

Madam Shaw had a bee in her head recently. She had been racking her brain to come up with a way to make Susan do the paternity test, but to no avail. Rubbing her temples, she groaned, "My head hurts whenever I think. I wonder where Isa has been. She has not been showing up lately and I couldn't get to her through the phone. Her massage skill is good and my headache does get better under her care."

A servant standing next to her smiled and replied, " Miss Shelby seems to have married far away. She will not come anymore."

"She is married?" Madam Shaw sounded surprised, " Why didn't she tell me? I should've sent her a wedding gift since she took care of me for so long."

Then, she thought for a moment and continued, "I remember she left me her home address. How about this? You go and help me buy a present. After that, I'll bring it to her family and ask them to hand it over to her."

"I'm sorry, Madam Shaw. But the Shelbys have moved t o another city to continue their business. They are not staying here anymore," the servant continued.

"Is that so?" Madam Shaw was taken aback by the news for a moment, but she soon came around. She looked at the servant quizzically and asked, "How do you know all this?"

The servant then replied, "That's what Mister Julian told me. He also told me to tell you if you ever bring the topic up, and I don’t have to say anything if you never ask. After all, she is not anyone important anyway."

"Julian told you that?" Madam Shaw was stunned. She felt something was amiss, but her headache had rendered her unable to think clearly. Rubbing her temples, she said, "Maybe it’s Isa who asked him to tell me."

Seeing Madam Shaw's face had scrunched up due to her headache, the servant suggested, "Madam, Mister Julian has hired the best masseur from town for you. D o you want me to call him over?"

"Well, although he's doing a pretty good job, I still think Isa is the best. But, anyway, it’s better than nothing. Yeah, let him come over,” Madam Shaw said lazily.

Very soon, the masseur arrived. Lying on the couch, she began to enjoy the high standard massage technique.

After that, the pain in her head ebbed and she could think things more clearly. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

She reckoned that she must not allow Julian to gloss over the things about his heir just like that. He was so enchanted by Susan that he would not suspect her at all. As such, as his mother, Madam Shaw felt the obligation to help him check over Susan.

However, she was fully aware that she could not mention the paternity test in front of Susan. It would not get anything done other than worsen her relationship with Julian and Susan. She was not that stupid yet.

Therefore, she decided to wait until the second month of Susan's pregnancy. At that time, she would find an excuse and bring her to the hospital. Then, she would have the people over there draw her blood to do the test.

After she laid out a plan, she then pressed down her doubts and diverted all her attention to taking care of Susan's well being. She sent various kinds of supplements to her every day. When Susan mentioned that she had no appetite and she could not eat anything, she dispersed all her men to get the freshest ingredients from around the country just to make her eat more.

This month, she treated Susan even better than Julian.

Susan was not someone who was ignorant. She was fully aware that the baby in her tummy was the reason for the changes in Madam Shaw's attitude.

However, she did not think too much about it. She just hoped that she could mend their relationship through this opportunity.

"It’s done," Susan said. Her eyes gleamed with merriment as she admired the final design on the computer.

"It's done?" Julian walked over anxiously, "So you can go rest now?

Susan smiled and shot a look at him. "Don't you want t o take a look at the final design of the resort project? This is a huge project that is worth over 10 billion dollars. If there are no other problems, then this design probably will be the final version."

Julian took a glance at the computer and then said, "I think it’s great. Okay, let’s go rest."

"What can you see in just a glance?" Susan was tickled pink by Julian. However, she still heeded to him and got onto the bed.

She wanted to finish her work, but Julian was against it. If it were not for her throwing a tantrum about it, she was certain that Julian would not allow her to even get close to her computer.

"Since the project is done, you don't have to worry about the rest anymore. I think it’s time for you to settle down and rest," Julian looked at Susan, his voice laced thick with concern.

Julian had been on a tenterhook during this period. This was because Susan had a bad appetite and she would throw up everything that she put into her mouth. Even though she had been pregnant for two months, instead of putting up weight, she lost a few pounds.

"Okay, okay, you don’t have to keep harping on that,"

Susan rolled her eyes.

"You..." Julian glanced over at her stomach, "When this little guy comes out, I'm going to beat the crap out of him for making you suffer so much."

"Don't you dare Julian," Susan snarled.

Julian immediately admitted defeat, "Alright, alright. Anything you say. You stay put. I’ll go get some warm water to help you wash up."

After that, he rushed into the bathroom. Looking at his back, Susan could not help but laugh. She realized that Julian had become more and more like a brownnoser ever since she got pregnant. She was certain that if the people in the office saw him like this right now, they would be so shocked that they thought they were hallucinating.

After going back and forth to help Susan wash up, Julian then hopped onto the bed. He pulled Susan into his arms and let out a contented sigh.

"Susie, tomorrow you have to go to the hospital for a regular check-up, right? You wait for me at home, I'll g o with you," Julian said.

"That is not necessary," Susan smiled, "You should have a lot of things to do since it’s almost the end of the year. Mom said that she will go with me tomorrow."

"You guys are getting along better right now," Julian smiled.

The thought of Madam Shaw's affection put a smile o n Susan's face.

"Yeah. Mom has been very good to me recently."

She did not ask for much. She did not care about the motive behind Madam Shaw's sudden change in behavior. As long as Madam Shaw was good to her, she was going to treat her the same as well.

The relationship between Madam Shaw and Susan had always been a sore point in him. Right now, he was also delighted to see the two most important women in his life getting along so well.

He rubbed Susan's hair and said, "Okay then. I’ll ask the driver to send you guys to the hospital tomorrow.”

Madam Shaw had been accompanying Susan to the hospital recently. Julian saw this as a great opportunity for them to mingle with each other and foster their relationship.

"Okay," Susan nodded.

"Let me hear if the baby is moving," Julian put his ear closer to Susan's stomach.

"It's only been two months. There is no way you can hear anything,” Susan rolled her eyes.

"I’m sure I'll hear something," Julian was persistent.

Susan just smiled and let him be.

On the next day, Madam Shaw had gotten up early and was waiting for Susan downstairs. Since Susan was going to have her blood drawn for examination, she could not eat anything in the morning. Madam Shaw simply stuffed something into her mouth and then went out with Susan.

"It's okay, Mom. you can finish your breakfast first,” Susan said.

“Don't worry. I can eat later. Your examination is more important," Madam Shaw replied with a smile.

She was very nervous deep down. She had already informed the specialist in the hospital in advance to draw another vial of blood for a paternity test when they were examining Susan.

Besides, she had gotten a few strands of Julian’s hair. All she had to do right now carry out the comparison, and she would know whether or not the baby belonged to Julian.

It went without saying that she was hoping for the best as well, but if the baby really did not belong to Julian...

Madam Shaw rolled her eyes and pressed down her emotions.
