Chapter 727 First Lady?
Alaric pressed his lips tightly, giving her no answer.
Cecilia nodded, "It's okay, you go ahead. I'll take care of myself and the baby."
Alaric nodded silently.
In the end, he didn't give her any promises.
Cecilia pulled her hand away from Alaric's.
Alaric's fingers stiffened, and he didn't reach out again.
"Cassius," Cecilia called to Cassius, who was not far away.
Cassius hurried over.
"Let's go," Cecilia smiled slightly.
From beginning to end, she didn't show much emotion.
The doctor had said that emotions could affect her body and the baby's, so she forced herself to stay calm.
Cassius glanced at Alaric.
At this moment, he didn't want to say anything nice to Alaric.
He was pushing Cecilia's wheelchair, about to leave.
"Cecilia," Alaric suddenly called her.
Cecilia looked at him.
"This is something from Augustus," Alaric said, taking out a red amulet, "It seems like someone gave it to him. Do you know who?"
Cecilia's eyes suddenly reddened.
Of course, she knew—it was Rose.
But she had always thought Augustus didn't accept Rose.
She didn't expect he had been wearing it all along.
"Give it to me," she said.
Alaric handed her the amulet.
Cecilia clutched it tightly in her hand.
She signaled Cassius that they could leave.
Cassius pushed Cecilia onto the plane.
Dashiell also boarded the plane.
Many people left.
It seemed that only Alaric was left behind.
Alaric watched them leave, feeling utterly alone.
The plane took off.
Cecilia looked down through the cabin window.
She saw Alaric watching the plane's direction, his figure growing smaller and smaller in her eyes.
After about two hours of flight, the plane landed safely in Serenovia City.
After two months away, she finally returned to this familiar city.
Cecilia had once thought she might never come back.
She was taken directly to the hospital.
After a series of examinations, it was confirmed that the baby was stable, and Cecilia finally felt a bit relieved.
After she settled in, George appeared in the hospital room.
It was probably arranged by Alaric.
George brought some nutritious meals. Since the accident, Cecilia's appetite had been poor, and she would vomit if she ate too much. But when she ate George's cooking, her appetite suddenly opened up, and she ate quite a bit without feeling nauseous.
Cecilia stayed in the hospital for another week.
During that week, Cassius stayed with her.
Dashiell, however, was discharged.
To be precise, Dashiell hadn't been hospitalized since returning from Astralton City.
Cecilia didn't know how well Dashiell had recovered, but Cassius said Dashiell knew his own condition.
A week later, the doctor announced that Cecilia could be discharged.
The baby was basically stable, and all the current tests were normal.
However, because her body had indeed suffered some harm, she still needed to be more careful than the average pregnant woman.
Cecilia remained cautious.
She cautiously returned to The Whitaker Villa.
After returning, Cecilia was still somewhat startled by the overly strict security in the villa.
Cassius, who had accompanied Cecilia out of the hospital, saw the surprise in her eyes and quickly explained, "This was arranged by Alaric. Don't be upset. After all, Alaric's status is different now. His status is different, and so is yours. You'll need to get used to it."
Cecilia smiled faintly, "No one knows who will need to get used to what in the future."
Cassius felt a pang in his heart.
There were many things he really couldn't defend Alaric for.
Because he didn't know what Alaric was doing or thinking now.
Cecilia returned to her room.
She said to Cassius, "You don't need to stay with me anymore. I'm discharged, and my body is fine. George is taking care of me, and there are so many bodyguards at home..."
As she spoke, Cecilia smiled.
She really thought the situation at home was a bit exaggerated.
"Go take care of your own things."
Cassius saw that Cecilia was in good spirits and wasn't affected by the recent news about Alaric. Everything seemed fine, and it was a bit awkward for him to stay under the same roof with Cecilia. The hospital was one thing, but at home, it felt awkward.
He nodded, "Call me if you need anything, no matter what happens with Alaric..."
Cecilia looked at him.
Cassius pressed his lips together, "Anyway, aside from him, we're friends."
Cecilia smiled gratefully, "Okay."
Cassius left.
Cecilia's smile gradually faded.
She took out her phone and looked at the news.
Today's news had already exposed Alaric as the sole heir of the Royal Family of Whitaker. Such exposure meant that Alaric had basically taken control of the Yakurosean Empire and was paving the way for the Royal Family of Whitaker to return to the historical stage.
This progress was indeed much faster than she had expected.
So it was understandable why Alaric was so busy.
Not long after, the Monroe family publicly announced their support for the Royal Family of Whitaker, saying many grandiose things. The gist was that the noble family had always been the protector of the Royal Family of Whitaker. When the Royal Family of Whitaker suddenly disappeared, they took on the responsibility of managing the Yakurosean Empire's affairs. Now that the Royal Family of Whitaker was back, they would return the power to them. They made their stance clear.
As a result, the calls for Alaric to manage the Yakurosean Empire grew louder.
Cecilia calmly read all the news until her phone suddenly rang.
She looked at the caller ID.
It was Seraphina.
Seraphina had called her many times, but she hadn't answered much.
There were many things she didn't know how to explain, and Seraphina was very curious. If she didn't explain, Seraphina would probably go crazy. Every time she answered Seraphina's calls, she was hesitant.
Today, it seemed unavoidable.
After all, with Alaric's identity exposed, the entire Yakurosean Empire was shocked.
Let alone the always excitable Seraphina.
"Seraphina."
Seraphina screamed.
Cecilia held the phone away a bit, afraid of disturbing the baby in her belly.
"What is going on with Alaric!" Seraphina shouted, "How did he suddenly become a descendant of the Royal Family of Whitaker? Is his status really that noble?"
"Yes," Cecilia responded.
"Cecilia, you're amazing! You chose a big shot just like that. I really admire you now," Seraphina said excitedly.
In contrast, Cecilia was overly calm.
"From now on, you'll be the First Lady. And I'll be the best friend of the First Lady. That would be so cool to brag about!" Seraphina was lost in her own fantasies.
Cecilia really didn't want to burst Seraphina's bubble.
After all, she really didn't think this First Lady title had anything to do with her.
