After taking the blood test report, Joyce once again dragged Vicki towards Felix's VIP ward.
Vicki was a bit puzzled, "This doesn't seem like the way out."
"You don't need to worry about that. Let others handle it. It's almost dinner time. Let's go back to Mr. Saunders' ward and sit together for a while before leaving," Joyce firmly held Vicki's arm, not allowing her to break free, knowing well that she had some strength in her.
"But Felix asked me to leave first and take care of things at home," Vicki hesitated to use too much force, after all, Joyce was pregnant with twins, if something went wrong due to her exertion, it would be a big mistake.
"You must have misheard. That's not what he meant," Joyce said deliberately. She sensed an awkward atmosphere between the two of them. After all they had been through, she wanted to help ease the tension.
They continued dragging Vicki back to the VIP ward.
Luther hadn't left yet and was standing by the window making a call, "The issue with the blueprints won't stay hidden for long. Keep a close eye on Athena's movements. Once she discovers something, she will definitely make a move. Anywhere her subordinates have been, anything they've purchased, anything traceable, I need to be informed. Alright. That's the plan."
After giving a few more instructions, he hung up the phone.
As Joyce stepped into the ward, she heard the word "Athena" and her expression slightly darkened. The hidden danger was still there after all, peace was hard to come by.
Seeing Vicki return to the ward with Joyce, Felix's handsome face lit up with joy.
"How did it go? Did you have the tests done? What did the doctor say?" he asked eagerly.
"Don't worry, your son is doing well," Joyce answered for Vicki.
"Son?" Felix looked bewildered, momentarily unable to react.
Joyce explained, "Oh, it was my decision. I had Vicki's blood tested for the gender. It's a boy."
Vicki walked to the window, leaning against the frame, and looked at Felix intently, "What's wrong? You seem surprised. Don't you like boys?"
Felix quickly shook his head, a spring-like smile on his lips, "It's all good. If I have a daughter as wonderful as you, that would be great too. As long as it's a child you give me, I'll naturally be happy."
Luther glanced at Felix, "I suppose Reese will be happier. After all, a legitimate son and grandson, these past few days I've observed Reese's intentions. He wants to hand over the Saunders family to Vicki. Now that Vicki is expecting a son, it will be more convincing. This is a good thing."
Vicki didn't mind. To her, dealing with the restless factions of the Saunders family was like taking something out of a bag, only a matter of time.
She remained noncommittal, leaning against the window. Her mood was somewhat content now.
In the end, she took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket, flicked the bottom lightly, took one out and held it between her lips, the lighter in her hand spinning smoothly like flowing water, in a skilled manner.
With a "click," a faint yellow flame danced on her fingertips.
