Chapter 276: Chapter 276: The Fertility Expert Has Arrived in Gray City
Little May perked up a lot when she saw Yolanda come in.
"What happened? Did you catch a cold?" Yolanda touched the little one’s head worriedly, still feeling a bit of heat.
"I don’t know," the little one shook her head, "But it’s okay, mommy said I’ll get better soon after some injections and medicine."
"Yes, you’ll get better soon," Yolanda tucked her in carefully.
She felt uneasy in her heart. Now that Little May was ill, would Melissa have an excuse not to go to America?
So, she found it hard not to suspect this was Melissa’s doing!
She stayed with Little May for a while longer, then got up to leave, "Melissa, come out for a second."
Yolanda called her into the hallway, "Did you do this?"
"What?" Melissa looked defiant, "Go ask May yourself, see if I have abused her?"
Yolanda frowned, "You better not let me find out you’ve been bullying May!"
After issuing the warning, she left, but even after leaving the hospital, she still felt that this had something to do with Melissa.
And she was almost certain that if Cooper mentioned going to America again, Melissa might repeat her tricks; she couldn’t just stand by and watch May get tossed around like this.
After thinking it over, Yolanda took a taxi to the Coldson Group and met Cooper.
"Why are you here?" Cooper was somewhat surprised to see Yolanda.
"Melissa doesn’t want to go with you to America?" Yolanda cut straight to the point.
Cooper frowned, "What are you trying to say?"
"I just visited May at the hospital. She’s really not in the condition to be left alone. Actually..." Yolanda suggested, "You could invite that specialist to come here. That way you wouldn’t have to go back and forth, wouldn’t that be better?"
Cooper narrowed his eyes, "Do you... really want me to have a child with her?"
His face looked terrible, as if he was quite upset by the idea.
"I just want you to take good care of May and not torment her over some other things," Yolanda didn’t want to elaborate.
She didn’t come here expecting Cooper to fully see through Melissa’s facade; she just didn’t want Melissa to exploit May any further.
If it weren’t for May’s insistence on staying with Melissa, Yolanda would actually have liked to take May away.
But perhaps blood was thicker than water. Even though she was so close to Little May, the child still only wanted to stay with Melissa.
Cooper didn’t say anything, his attitude noncommittal.
Yolanda stood up to leave, reminding him on her way out, "Oh, and the court hearing is tomorrow, I hope you’ll show up on time."
As the door opened and closed, Cooper clenched his fists.
Actually, he had already contacted the specialists in America after leaving the hospital that morning; at that moment, the specialist should be on the plane about to land at Gray City airport that evening.
He was already prepared.
The court hearing tomorrow... Cooper hesitated about whether he should go, because he knew if he went, it would mean the end for him and Yolanda.
In the evening, after the specialist’s flight landed, Cooper went to the Women’s and Children’s Hospital.
Little May’s fever had gone, but she looked drained and weak.
Cooper played with the little one for a while, and then called Melissa into the hallway.
"The fertility specialist has arrived tonight, get ready, we’ll check you out first thing in the morning."
Melissa was shocked, her face showing disbelief, "You brought the specialist here?"
Cooper nodded, "Is there a problem? May is sick, and you can’t leave her. Isn’t it better that I brought the specialist here?"
He keenly observed Melissa’s change in mood, "Why do I feel like you’re really opposed to this?"
"Cooper, I know I should be happy," Melissa lowered her head, "but seeing you so eager makes me really uncomfortable. You’ve always resented the fact that I can’t have children, haven’t you?"
"Don’t think too much," Cooper patted her arm, "Rest well tonight, and perhaps there will be good news tomorrow."
After Cooper left, Melissa panicked completely.
She couldn’t just meet the fertility specialist like that. She had no fertility issues, and she had already had a child - she couldn’t hide these facts.
She tentatively called Richard Reyes, "Assistant Reyes, do you know where the fertility specialist is staying?"
"Oh, they’re at the Imperial View Hotel," Richard answered puzzled, "Why are you asking, Miss Greenwood?"
"Nothing, I was thinking of paying a visit," Melissa was a bit embarrassed, "But was worried I might disturb their rest."
"Miss Greenwood, you better not go there. The specialist needs to rest after almost ten hours on a flight," Richard subconsciously didn’t want Melissa to go.
"Alright then, thank you, Assistant Reyes," Melissa hung up.
Richard turned around and told Cooper the news, "Miss Greenwood just called and said she wanted to see the fertility specialist."
Cooper frowned.
"But I told her the specialist was jet-lagged and advised against her visiting," Richard watched Cooper carefully.
Balancing between the drama of his boss and these two women, he was really treading on thin ice.
Cooper thought for a moment before saying, "Alert the hotel, if she goes there, don’t let her see the specialist. Say it’s my order, the specialist won’t see anyone."
"Okay, I’ll call right away," Richard turned and left.
Cooper sat quietly for a moment, then started working on Coldson Group matters again.
After work, Yolanda bought some food and went home, only to find Lola Gold hadn’t eaten all day.
"Lola, you can’t go on like this, come and eat something," she said with concern.
Although Lola had decided to separate from Christopher, she couldn’t help but feel sad, and these past few days, she hadn’t had much appetite.
She didn’t want Yolanda to worry, so she forced herself to the dining table. But as soon as she smelled the food, her stomach churned, and she ran for the bathroom.
"Lola, are you okay?" Yolanda followed her.
Lola locked the bathroom door, "Yolanda, I’m fine. It’s just an upset stomach. You eat first, don’t mind me."
"Lola, open the door, let me in," Yolanda said anxiously.
"Really, I’m okay." Lola sat collapsed by the toilet, her stomach empty, so she couldn’t vomit much.
But such a condition made her worry; she wasn’t... pregnant with Christopher’s child, was she?
But hadn’t her womb been damaged?
Lola’s mind went blank.
She couldn’t help but be curious; if she and Randy Carter were pregnant at the same time, what would Christopher do? Considering how much he valued the Coldson bloodline, would he force one of them to abort the child?
Such thoughts were truly desolate.
Lola struggled to her feet, washed her face, and then opened the bathroom door only to find Yolanda had been waiting there the whole time.
Unable to control herself any longer, she grabbed Yolanda in a frightened embrace, "Yolanda, I... I’m not pregnant, am I?"
