Chapter 396: Chapter 410: Overestimating Oneself, Underestimating Love (12)

Isabel Smith looked at Elijah Smith, who picked up the paper tissue and wiped the back of his hand vigorously. Suddenly, she burst into laughter with tears in her eyes.

Seeing Isabel laugh, Elijah also raised the corners of his mouth, and his tense mood relaxed. He looked at her for a long time, then spoke very seriously, "Isabel, if you feel stressed and don’t want to work in the company, then don’t. Anyway, I’ve already realized that we should live in the moment and be happy with what we have. There are so many fun things in this vast world waiting for us to explore, why bother suffering here?"

Isabel wasn’t upset about work, but listening to Elijah’s comforting words that missed the point still warmed her heart. She wiped her eyes and said, "I’m fine, just feeling a little down."

"Oh," Elijah nodded with sudden realization, "Is it your period? I can understand that. Do you need sanitary napkins? I can help you buy some right now."

Isabel immediately raised her hand and slapped Elijah on the head, pointed to the office door and said, "Get out!"

Elijah laughed, raised his hand and waved to Isabel, "Alright, I really should go. My landlord is waiting for me downstairs!"

Then he shrugged, put his hands in his pockets, and left Isabel’s office.

Elijah’s brief appearance actually lifted Isabel’s spirits a bit. The work that followed went smoothly. There were many tasks to take care of today, so when she went off work, it was already quite late. It was hard to find a taxi outside the company, and the heavy snow continued to fall. The cold weather caused the snow to turn into ice as soon as it hit the ground. Standing at the company’s doorstep, Isabel saw at least two people slipping and falling on the main street.

Isabel suddenly thought of the little one in her belly and lost the courage to step out of the Smith Corporation Tower. She stood in the grand hall, thinking about calling Elijah to pick her up when she heard a voice behind her, "Miss Smith, haven’t you left work yet?"

Isabel put away her phone, turned around, and saw a shareholder of Smith Corporation’s Board of Directors named Joseph Wood.

"Hello, CEO Wood."

"Miss Smith, are you planning to go home?" Joseph Wood glanced at the snow outside and said, "You didn’t drive? It’s not easy to get a cab when it’s snowing heavily. Where do you live? Let me give you a lift."

"Oh, I couldn’t impose," Isabel replied with an embarrassed smile.

"You’re too polite, Miss Smith," Joseph Wood smiled and took out his car keys, pressed a button, and the lamp light of a Porsche downstairs at the company flashed. "Let’s go, Miss Smith."

Considering the heavy snow, Isabel hesitated briefly but did not refuse, saying, "Thank you, CEO Wood."

Afterwards, she followed Joseph Wood downstairs.

...

Before noon on January 8th, Isabel went directly to the hospital from the company.

When she arrived, the expert doctor hadn’t arrived yet. She sat in a chair in the hospital corridor and waited for about ten minutes before a middle-aged female doctor arrived.

It seemed that the middle-aged doctor had diagnosed many pregnant women before, so after hearing that Isabel had taken an early pregnancy test, she immediately ordered some tests for her.

While waiting for the results, even though Isabel knew she was definitely pregnant, she was still a bit nervous. Her legs involuntarily trembled slightly. When she finally heard her name called, it took a lot of effort for her to stand up, pick up her test report, and return to the expert doctor.

After a quick glance, the doctor said, "Miss Smith, your pregnancy is now forty days old."
