NovelsFreeChapter 385 Scare Him a Little
Patrick turned around, put his arm around Vera's shoulder, and ended the call with Shawn. He sat down with her
and whispered, "Just pretend you didn't see them." Vera nodded, even though she didn't get why. She played
along.
Later, Jeffrey spotted Vera while walking.
He quickly took Emily on a detour. Emily, feeling unwell and there for a check-up, was confused about the longer
route since the doctor's office was straight ahead. Vera whispered to Patrick, "Honey, whose baby do you think
she's carrying?"
Patrick looked at her curious eyes and said, "It's none of our business. Don't pry."
Vera pouted. "I'm curious. Could it be Dennis's baby? Nah, she's not blind. Maybe the driver's? But they seem
distant. She can't be Dennis's daughter-in-law." Vera's mind was spinning.
Patrick let her lean on his shoulder and chuckled, "Overthinking can cause hair loss."
Vera joked, "Are you saying Shawn is overthinking?"
Shawn arrived a bit later and heard Vera's words.
He asked, confused, "Vera, how am | overthinking?"
Vera quickly covered her mouth. "Patrick and | were just praising your wisdom."
Shawn nodded, "Thanks."
He sat next to Vera and asked, "You saw Jeffrey and didn't greet him?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtVera replied, "So his nis Jeffrey. I'm pregnant, so | can't fight him, and | didn't dare, either."
Shawn smirked, "It sounds as if you could beat him if you weren't pregnant.”
Vera shrugged, "Maybe."
Jeffrey took Emily to the doctor's office and hid around the corner, spying on Vera, Patrick, and Shawn. He
thought he was unnoticed.
But Vera quietly told Shawn and Patrick, "Jeffrey is spying on us. Should | turn and scare him?"
Patrick said, "Don't mess around."
Vera pouted, "Honey, it's so boring with you."
Patrick was speechless.
Vera complained, "If Randall and Molly were here, we'd scare him and talk to that girl. Since Jeffrey thinks we
don't know their secret, we could find out her relationship with the Turner family." "But with you, you never let
Patrick sighed, "You scaredbefore."
Shawn considered Vera's words seriously. "I think Vera has a point."
Vera and Patrick immediately looked at Shawn.
Shawn continued, "Patrick and | are here to protect you, Vera. Go ahead and have sfun. Jeffrey knows you're
pregnant; we can't hide it. Let Vera go and scare them a bit." With Shawn's backing, Vera ignored Patrick's look
and headed toward the doctor's office where Emily was.
Jeffrey, thinking the Olteran family hadn't noticed him, hid further when he saw Vera approaching.
Vera walked by where Jeffrey had been spying with a playful smile on her face.
Patrick glanced at Shawn. "Dad, Vera might overdo it."
Shawn said, "Let's follow her, but not too closely."
Vera pushed open the doctor's office door and saw someone being examined. She glanced at Emily, who
recognized her immediately.
Emily remembered their last hospital argument when Vera had thrown Laura to the ground.
Vera was about to start a conversation, but Emily spoke first, "It's you?"
Vera thought, 'Why does she sound like she knows me?*
The doctor finished examining Emily and said, "Your symptoms are mild. No need for medication. Just drink more
water, eat more fruits, and get enough sleep." Emily thanked the doctor and got up. The doctor looked at Vera
and asked, "Mrs. Olteran, do you have any questions?"
Vera smiled awkwardly, "I just remembered my husband already asked what | wanted to know."
She smiled awkwardly and turned to leave. Looking at Emily's belly, she started a conversation. "Do you know
me?"
Emily nodded and smiled. "I've seen you before. Last tat the hospital, you and your friend scolded Laura and
Frank. | was there. | really admired you guys; | was so angry, too."
Vera's mind raced. If she had been there, Dennis or Jeffrey must have been, too.
Jeffrey, hiding in the corner, saw Emily chatting with Vera. He wanted to intervene but couldn't. Vera had seen
him, and Shawn and Patrick were nearby.
He anxiously looked around, trying to find a way to interrupt their conversation. Because of Dennis's belief that
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmphones emit radiation harmful to pregnant women, Emily didn't carry her phone, making it impossible for Jeffrey
to interrupt via phone.
"My nis Emily," Emily introduced herself.
Vera said, "I'm Vera."
She looked at Emily's belly. "How long have you been pregnant?"
Emily smiled, "Over six months. How about you?"
Vera replied, "Not yet six months. Emily, are you here for a prenatal check-up alone?"
Emily glanced around. "No, someone cwith me, but he's gone now."
Vera also looked around. Where did he go?
"Is it your husband with you?"
Emily didn't realize Vera was probing. She thought they didn't know each other, and Vera was someone she
admired but couldn't become. So she didn't hide. "No, he's busy lately. It's his driver accompanying me." Vera's
eyes widened in shock, trying to keep her tone calm. "I see. Your husband must be working hard, even on
weekends. But he cares about you, sending his driver to accompany you."
