Chapter 1041 - 1021: Can there be someone this unseriously old?

Chapter 1041: Chapter 1021: Can there be someone this unseriously old?

This kind of farce is all too common in novels and TV series, where the female lead has menstrual irregularities and thinks she’s pregnant with a man’s child, so she asks him to take responsibility. But after a hospital checkup, menstrual irregularities?

She was dumbfounded!

So, when it comes to something as significant as pregnancy, Bella Gordon thought it was better to get checked to confirm, rather than everyone getting falsely excited for nothing!

"Bella Gordon, come downstairs right now! Do you think this house is a pharmacy? How could there possibly be a pregnancy test on hand?"

There wasn’t even a woman in the house planning on getting pregnant. Chani Gordon was still at university, and Ivy had already passed the prime childbearing age. How could there be condoms in the house, let alone a pregnancy test? As if it were possible that the misunderstanding was "I am the one having a baby, or Chani is?", she questioned incredulously.

Bella Gordon: "..."

"Ahem, wife, if you want to have a baby, it’s still possible. Look at Natty Irvin, nearly fifty and still giving birth, and Harriet Larson is in her forties and pregnant with her first child. You’re just over forty; you can have a baby anytime you want!"

Ivy Aretha: "..."

Can someone please be less serious?

"Pfft!"

The three kids in the room nearly burst out laughing at the same time. Their daddy was just too adorable; he seemed even more playful with age. No, wait—not old at all. He was just in his forties. Men at sixty could still father children, so what was forty-something!

"Daddy, you can do it! Convince mommy to give us a little brother to play with. A lively little brother would be better, looking at how Brother Roy seems so pitiful, like he’s the only one in the whole world with problems!"

Chani Gordon was someone who loved a bustling household. With her sister married off and her brother aloof, the house wasn’t fun anymore. If she could have a lively and naughty little brother, that would be really OK with her.

"Yeah! High five!"

The father and daughter, in perfect sync, gave each other a high five, which irritated Ivy Aretha so much she wanted to slap them both.

"Michael Gordon, Chani Gordon, aren’t you two something, one just thinks about the thrill, the other only wants a playmate. Natty Irvin might be almost fifty and still able to have kids, but now she’s lying in the hospital due to an infected incision. Harriet Larson risked her life giving birth to a second child at an older age, almost dying in the hospital. Are you one trying to replace your wife, and the other looking for a new mommy?"

Chani Gordon: "..."

Conscience of heaven and earth, how could she bear to replace her mommy!

"Wife, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have joked about having a baby. I was wrong. Tonight, I’ll take the initiative to kneel for the remote control, and I won’t talk too much in the future. If there’s going to be another baby, I’ll be the one to have it!"

Ivy Aretha: "..."

That mouth of his, it really made it hard for her to get angry!

Realizing that it was impossible for there to be a pregnancy test at home, Bella Gordon simply gave up on the idea. Thinking she would go directly to the hospital the next day, she stayed over at the Gordons’ since it was rare for her to visit and also because Roy Thompson had been busy recently. So Bella Gordon decided to stay at the Gordon Mansion to accompany her parents. With her staying at her own home, Roy Thompson would naturally feel at ease knowing the Gordon Mansion in Andras City was probably the safest place.

"Daddy, if you want to become a woman, you could just get a sex change, but if you want to have children, a sex change won’t help you. Venus chose adoption because even after becoming a woman, she still wanted to be a mom. So, Daddy, you’re out of luck!"

Bella Gordon shrugged her shoulders and returned to the dining table in her room, knowing that she might be pregnant, she naturally wanted to eat a bit more. Plus, the atmosphere at home was so relaxed. They had always been informal, yet everyone held to their own responsibilities. She loved this kind of family so much. Bella Gordon felt that the happiest thing in her life was being born as the child of Daddy and Mommy and marrying Brother Roy, being the eternal princess at home, and the forever queen when she went out.

Michael Gordon: "..."

This girl, if she hadn’t been carrying his nephew, he really would have wanted to pick her up and spank her!

After eating enough for two meals, Bella Gordon successfully made her belly swell. That evening, in order to educate her about pregnancy, Ivy Aretha even abandoned her husband to teach their beloved daughter. As a result, Bella Gordon was lectured by her own mother all night long.

However, without confirmation, of course, Bella Gordon was not at ease. So, the next morning she got up early, and without waiting for Ivy Aretha to wake up, she went to the hospital to get a checkup by herself. Luckily, the hospital was theirs, so when Ivy Aretha woke up, she just called and instructed the hospital staff to take good care of things. With Lucas Sandy there, she was basically at ease.

By noon, when lunch was ready at home and Bella Gordon still hadn’t returned, not answering her phone, Ivy Aretha felt something was not right and called Lucas Sandy directly, "Lucas Sandy, is Bella still at the hospital? Why hasn’t she come back from a simple checkup until now?"

The moment Lucas Sandy heard this, his heart jolted, and a bad premonition began to rise: "Are you telling me she hasn’t come home yet?!"

"Stop asking stupid questions. If she had come home, why would I bother you? The way you’re speaking, has she already come back?"

"A checkup is just an hour’s affair. It was done by nine o’clock in the morning!"

Lucas Sandy paused for a moment but still spoke to ease Ivy Aretha’s mind, "She is indeed pregnant. She looked so happy she could burst! She took a driver with her, maybe she went out to buy baby clothes in her excitement?"

Actually, his intuition told him that buying baby clothes wasn’t something this girl would do without Roy Thompson at her side.

But Lucas Sandy still said it, not wanting to make Ivy Aretha worry.

"Alright, I won’t talk to you anymore. I’m going to call Roy and Michael Gordon right away. We can’t have any mishaps at a time like this!"

After hanging up the phone, Ivy Aretha first had all the servants at home go out to search, then she called Michael Gordon and Roy Thompson. After hearing about the situation, both of the younger ones who were spending their summer vacation at home also went out to search.

"Bring me all the surveillance footage from the hospital entrance!"

After receiving Ivy Aretha’s call, Roy Thompson directly had the hospital surveillance footage brought over, and then he called Oliver Thompson, "Dad, deploy my Special Forces team to Andras City. Bianca is missing!"

Bianca Gordon’s disappearance at this critical moment could very well mean she was kidnapped. Negotiating terms was one thing, but if it came to harm, things would be troublesome.

The prime suspect Hanny Josh was still within his surveillance range and had shown no abnormalities. Clearly, the situation was a bit complicated, and it called for deploying the Special Forces.

"What do you mean, ’missing’?"

Oliver Thompson’s voice also became tight upon hearing this.

"She went to the hospital early this morning and hasn’t come home since. Now she’s unreachable. There’s an 80 percent chance someone has set their sights on her!"
