Chapter 53 “According to the report, you aren’t pregnant, Miss Lynd,” the doctor said. Tina could feel the invisible weight crushing her heart being lifted. “Really? That’s great!” She balled her fists together in triumph, feeling quite relieved. The doctor choked on his words upon seeing her reaction. In his line of work, he had witnessed a lot of patients who would do everything just to be able to conceive. It was his first time seeing someone who was happy about not being pregnant. Meanwhile, Samuel felt a mixture of emotions swelling in his heart as well. It was a great thing that Tina wasn’t pregnant with his child. He didn’t know why, but he was reminded by the scene where Tina had caressed her stomach. A pang of disappointment followed suit. “Miss Lynd. You may not be pregnant, but you still need to rest a lot. Your anemia is on the severe side. You need to maintain a good sleep schedule by waking up and sleeping early. Your diet should consist of more meat, eggs, and milk. Also, please refrain from engaging in physical intimacy for the time being.” “Ah. Alright,” Tina mumbled back in response. She could feel her ears heating up, so she bowed her head, not daring to look at Samuel. After that, they returned to the upper floor. Cindy approached Samuel anxiously and asked,“ What’s the result, Samuel?” In response, he simply shook his head. Cindy finally heaved a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that Tina wasn’t pregnant with Samuel’s baby. Having restored her elegant demeanor, she remarked gently, “Well, that’s quite unfortunate.” At the same time, Cindy vowed to herself that she would never let Tina get close to Samuel ever again. Luckily for her, Tina wasn’t pregnant this time. If that filthy b*tch were to be accepted into the Langford family due to her pregnancy, then she would most likely replace Cindy in becoming Mrs. Langford. Madam Langford received news of Tina’s condition from the others. She was slightly disappointed, but she was more concerned about the latter’s health. “I heard that you’re severely anemic, Tina. You need to rest a lot. Don’t worry about your job. Your health matters the most,” she said sagely. Madam Langford no longer insisted on having Tina to care for her in her ward. Noticing the latter’s pale face, she said, “Tina, I’ll have someone send you home. Samuel, I’d like to have a word with you.”

Cindy could see that her presence wasn’t needed. “Then I’ll be taking my leave now, Grandma
Langford.” Tina left the ward first. Soon, she heard Cindy calling out to her. –
“Miss Lynd, wait up!” Tina stopped in her tracks before asking curiously, “What’s the matter, Miss Young?” “I know about everything that happened between you and Samuel,” Cindy said bluntly. Tina looked a little embarrassed. “Is that so?” “I grew up with Samuel, so I know he’s a responsible man. If he did rob you of your virginity, then he’d definitely view you as his responsibility. Besides, it’s obvious that Grandma Langford likes you a lot. She even gave you the jade bracelet that was passed down in the Langford family. You might stand a chance in becoming the future Mrs. Langford.” Tina waved her hand and explained sheepishly, “Please don’t misunderstand my intentions, Miss Young. I’ve signed a contract with Mr. Langford. Once two months are over, I’ll leave the Langford family on my own. You don’t have to worry about me.” “Really? You’ll leave the family by then?”
“Yes.”
“But… What if you accidentally get pregnant? There’s no way the Langford family will allow their flesh and blood to be detached from the family…” The day’s events had instilled a sense of danger and urgency into Cindy’s mindset. She needed to act, and fast.
If Tina wasn’t under her constant surveillance, there was a chance that she would snatch her rightful position in the Langford family away from her. “Then what can I do to reassure you?” Tina asked. Cindy was satisfied by Tina’s question. Tina was a smart one, that was for sure. “How about this? You don’t have a bodyguard with you, right? It’s not safe for you, given your current status. Why don’t I arrange a bodyguard to protect you? What do you think about that?” Protection? More like constant surveillance.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
