Unbreak My Heart - Chapter 914 Good News
As soon as Ashley finished speaking, she heard Francis’s voice.
Needless to say, she was stunned.
Ellie was pregnant?
Could it be true?
After pausing for a moment, Ashley was suddenly overwhelmed with joy.
Even over the phone, Francis could hear the excitement in her tone.
“Ellie’s pregnant? Where is she now? I need to see her!”
She was even more excited than when she found out she, herself was pregnant.
Francis frowned upon hearing this. He quickly objected, “No, no, Ashley, you don’t have to come. I promise you I’ll take good care of Ellie. You’re pregnant too so you shouldn’t be going on long trips. We’ll visit you soon.”
If Ashley came over to the hospital, Francis was afraid that Andrew would beat him up.
He understood that Andrew valued Ashley the most.
To Andrew, Ashley was precious and unparalleled—not even his good friends could compare.
It was beyond doubt that Andrew treated them, his friends, differently.
Ashley was about eight months into her pregnancy. Andrew didn’t even want to go to work anymore. He just wanted to stay at home with Ashley.
Francis wasn’t going to let Ashley come to the hospital to see Ellie. If anything happened to her, he would be in big trouble.
“I’m fine. I need to see Ellie.”
Ashley was a little worried about Ellie.
“No, Ashley, don’t come. Just stay home. Ellie is fine. I have to go and take care of her now. Bye!”
With that, Francis hung up without even waiting for Ashley to respond.
Ashley put the phone aside and began anxiously pacing around the room.
“My lady, what is going on?”
Linda hurriedly approached her as soon as she came out of the kitchen and saw Ashley walking around the room.
“Linda, Ellie’s pregnant!” Ashley said excitedly as she looked at Linda.
“Oh, are you talking about Miss Su?”
Linda was pretty familiar with Ellie since she often came to visit Ashley. Besides, she frequently heard her name from Ashley.
“Yes, that’s her.”
“That’s great. I bet Miss Su must be very happy right now,” Linda gushed.
“Oh, Linda, would you mind going to the hospital to check up on Ellie for me? I can’t go there myself so I figured I’d ask you.”
“Sure,” Linda agreed without hesitation.
“Thank you, Linda.” Ashley was very pleased.
“You don’t need to say thank you to me,” Linda said respectfully.
Ashley took her phone out, intending to message Francis to ask him what hospital they were in.
She then paused, thinking for a while before proceeding to delete the entire message.
Linda was back in the kitchen, preparing the soup she was going to take to Ellie.
Ashley clutched her stomach as she made
was asking him this.
However, he was smart enough to not ask.
“Well, normally, we open the shop around nine. It’s only three…” the manager said gingerly.
“I want a bowl of hot and sour rice noodles.”
“What? Are you sure, Mr. Lu?”
The manager was in a daze for a moment.
Just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard the beeping sound ring in his ears—Andrew had already hung up.
For a moment, he was in a daze.
Meanwhile, his wife had also been woken up. She saw his husband holding his phone, staring blankly into the air.
“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you sleeping?”
“Mr. Lu called me just now and told me that he wanted a bowl of hot and sour rice noodles.”
“Mr. Lu? Who is he?”
“The most powerful man in J City.”
“Then ask someone to go to the shop now. What are you doing still sitting here?”
His wife nudged him, urging him to get up.
“But it’s three in the morning…”
“It doesn’t matter! Mr. Lu just called you! He’s probably waiting outside the shop right now. Hurry and call the employees. Tell them to go to work! Offer them ten times their salary if necessary,”
his wife said urgently.
“Oh, okay.”
The manager quickly collected himself. He listened to his wife and began to call up all his employees.
Initially, no one was willing to go to work at such an hour.
But upon the mention of the salary, someone eventually agreed.
The manager heaved a sigh of relief.
Perplexed, he looked at his wife and asked, “Why did you ask me to do that?”
“Are you crazy? If Mr. Lu wanted a bowl of hot and sour rice noodles, it’s probably his wife who’s craving. Mrs. Lu is pregnant and Mr. Lu loves his wife very much. Why else would he go out at this hour just to buy a bowl of hot and sour rice noodles?”
