Chapter 471 Cecily, Congratulations
Owen convulsed and trembled, his hand failing to reach Josep. His eyes rolled back, and he passed out.
Josep watched until Owen was still, sighed, and stood up indifferently.
"Dad, you need to rest."
The door burst open, startling Josep.
Sandra wheeled in, saw Owen on the ground, and her face changed.
"Dad!" She glared at Josep. "What did you do?"
She tried to call for help, but Josep grabbed her wheelchair. "What are you doing? It's too late."
"Josep, that's your dad." Sandra couldn't move and stared at him.
"Yeah, he's my dad. I'll take him to the hospital, but not now."
Sandra tried to scream, but Josep covered her mouth and dragged her inside.
A servant saw them and froze. Sandra struggled to speak. "Call the police!"
The servant dropped her tray and started to scream.
Josep warned, "If you want to live, shut up."
Terrified, the servant froze.
Josep's men arrived and tied up Sandra and the servant.
Sandra glared at Josep. "You beast, you'll get what's coming."
"Really? Let's see who gets it first."
Josep's men gagged Sandra.
No matter how hard she struggled, it was useless.
Josep sneered, "Take her somewhere no one can find her. Treat her well, but don't let her die."
Even if his plan against Darian failed, Darian wouldn't dare act if he had Sandra as leverage.
Everything was under control, and Josep smiled.
Finally, it was his turn to win.
At the Fitzgerald Group.
In the conference room, Darian listened to reports.
Suddenly, his pen slipped, leaving black ink on the paper.
He glanced at the time; it was lunchtime.
"Let's take a one-hour break." He quickly left the room.
Walking to his office, Darian called Cecily.
Larkin had already set up lunch in the office. When Darian was busy, Larkin usually ordered and delivered lunch, and today was no different.
Larkin placed the lunch box on the table. "Boss, Mrs. Fitzgerald also sent lunch today."
"Okay." Darian sat on the sofa, glanced at the food, and called Cecily again.
Larkin set the table and left.
The phone rang for half a minute, but no one answered. Darian frowned.
Cecily said she'd be home with the kids, so why wasn't she answering? Darian was about to call Rowan and Griffin when Larkin rushed in, looking serious. "Boss, something's happened."
Darian's eyes narrowed, noticing a figure at the door. He raised his hand.
Larkin saw the figure, approached Darian, and whispered.
The room fell silent.
The person at the door tried to listen but couldn't hear anything.
They squinted through the crack and saw Darian eating.
After Larkin finished, he left, and the person hid.
The door was ajar, and the person watched Darian finish eating before he got up to leave.
After Darian finished eating, the person quickly reported back to Josep.
As Darian walked outside, he suddenly collapsed.
Larkin returned and saw him on the ground. "Boss? Boss? Someone, call an ambulance!"
Meanwhile, at the hospital.
Cecily woke up to a crowd around her.
"She's awake."
"Cecily is awake."
"Mom?" Cecily, who was still groggy, looked around at the smiling faces. "What's going on?"
"This is the hospital. You fainted from low blood sugar. Evander brought you here."
"The hospital?"
Her memory was hazy.
She remembered leaving Fitzgerald Manor, feeling uneasy, and then everything went black.
Cecily rubbed her head and looked at everyone. "Why are you all smiling at me?"
Vivienne placed a pillow behind her and looked at her pale face, unsure whether to be happy or concerned.
"You're pregnant, but it's early. The doctor said you're just over three weeks along."
Cecily's eyes widened. "What?"
She doubted her ears.
She was pregnant?
"Haven't you noticed your lack of appetite, dizziness, and fatigue? The doctor said those are early pregnancy symptoms. You noticed Aurelie's pregnancy but missed your own."
Cecily was still in shock.
She hadn't considered pregnancy; she thought her symptoms were just exhaustion.
"Really?" She looked at the doctors.
They nodded. "Yes, Miss Watson, it's true."
Three weeks!
The timing matched what happened that night at Fitzgerald Manor.
Cecily was stunned, then looked at Vivienne in confusion.
The news was too sudden.
She wasn't prepared.
Her face showed surprise and confusion.
Aurelie, who was smiling happily, was also dealing with her own pregnancy decision. But since Cecily and Darian were in a good place, having a baby was a happy event. She was genuinely happy for Cecily.
"Congratulations, Cecily. Darian will be overjoyed."
Cecily looked around, placing her hand on her flat stomach, still feeling like it was a dream.
Was she really going to have another baby with Darian?
Aurelie's words reminded her to tell Darian. She wondered how he'd react. Her heart raced as she thought about it.
Her eyes fell on her bag, and she remembered the share transfer agreement Owen had given her.
Cecily's heart tightened. "Aurelie, can you hand me my bag?"
Aurelie gave it to her, and Cecily quickly checked the inside. It was still there.
"Didn't you say you were taking the kids to see Darian at the company? Why did you go to Fitzgerald Manor?" Vivienne asked.
Cecily saw two missed calls from Darian and called him back. "Mom, I'll explain later. I need to call Darian."
The call went unanswered, making her anxious.
"What's wrong?"
Cecily frowned. "I don't know why he's not answering."
Vivienne glanced at the time. "He's probably busy at work. It's normal for him not to pick up."
"But he always answers my calls."
"Maybe he didn't hear it. Try calling again," Aurelie suggested.
Cecily called again, but there was still no answer.
She then dialed Larkin's number.
The phone rang and rang, but finally, Larkin answered, "Miss Watson."
Cecily heard Larkin panting, and the background sounded chaotic.
"Larkin, where's Darian? He didn't answer my call."
"Miss Watson, I can't talk much right now."
Cecily clenched her hand. "Did something happen to the Fitzgerald family?"
"Yes, a lot is happening, but no matter what, you must trust the Boss."
