She Is A CEO

“That’s good... that’s good...” Reynolds muttered twice, and after months of settling, he was much calmer.
“Are you going to see her?” Juliana asked Reynolds, seeing a wistful look between his eyebrows.
Reynolds didn’t know what to say. He smiled at Juliana and then turned away.
Juliana had mixed feelings as she watched Reynolds disappear down the hallway, and Kane walked up to her and put his arms
around her shoulders,
“What did you say to Reynolds?”
“Nothing, just tell him about Lucia. Reynolds... is infatuated.” Juliana knew the pain of not getting love. In fact, Reynolds’
behavior was so irrational that if she were him, she would have gone crazy for love.
Kane sighed in his heart and said, “There’s no news from Lucia yet, but we have to get ready. We’ll go see her together.”
“Well, tell Eduard,” Juliana said, leaning on Kane as they walked toward Eduard and Daphne.
Perhaps Arthur had never been so nervous in his entire life. It was a day after Lucia’s due date, but the baby in her belly did not
seem to be able to part with the dependence of its mother.
Lucia wasn’t in a hurry, but everyone else was anxious. The paramedics checked Lucia almost every hour, but she was fine.
Arthur would have been frantic if he hadn’t waited for the baby to come.
“The due date has been scientifically calculated, and the exact date of the baby’s birth depends on Lucia’s condition. Ao as long
as it doesn’t take more than a week, there’s no need to be so nervous,” Sophie said in the living room. Lucia was taking a nap.
Even though she said so, she was no less anxious than Arthur.
Arthur nodded slightly, but then turned to Helena and asked, “Helena, what was it like when Lucia gave birth to Teddy?”
Helena thought about it and told Arthur,
“Teddy was born more than ten days early. It was raining cats and dogs, and Lucia stayed in her room until lunchtime. I went to
check on her, but when I came in, she was lying in bed, unconscious. There was a big pool of blood on the bed, and it scared the
hell out of me...”
After Helena said this, everyone was nervous, even she had a lingering fear.

“My feet went weak, but when I saw Lucia’s pale face, I called out for my mother. It was probably the loudest scream I’ve ever
heard in my life,” Helena said with a self-deprecating laughter,
“Luckily, the paramedics were at home a month early. When my mother heard my cry for help, she immediately brought them
over. The paramedics decided that Lucia couldn’t wait for the ambulance, so they immediately decided to deliver Lucia’s baby,
but Lucia had fainted at the time. If she didn’t wake up, not only would Teddy not be able to be born smoothly, but she would also
be in danger. My mother had rushed over and slapped Lucia several times, then asked me to pinch her arm to wake her up.
Finally, Lucia woke up...”
As she spoke, Helena seemed to return to the life-or-death moment, with her hand tightening around Otis’s sleeve,
“Lucia has always been very brave. When she woke up, she realized she was about to give birth. The first thing she said was, ‘is
the baby okay?’ We quickly told her that the baby was okay, and then the paramedics started teaching Lucia how to breathe and
how to push. It went on for almost four hours, until Lucia’s voice was hoarse. Teddy was born, and he was crying loudly. Lucia
fainted when she heard his cried...”
“All mothers... it’s not easy...” Sophie, who went into premature labor when she gave birth to Douglas, knew best how difficult
that can be.
This was the first time Arthur had heard about Teddy’s birth, not the hospital birth he had imagined, but the fact that Lucia had
given birth to Teddy in Brown Manor. If Helena hadn’t found her unconscious in time, he was afraid he would have no chance to
know her, and he would not have such an intelligent and lovely son.
“Helena, thank you...” Arthur said, filled with guilt. It should be him to take the responsibility.
Helena knew what Arthur was thinking, and everyone knew what that guilty look on his face was, but Helena comforted him,
“You don’t have to thank me or feel guilty. Having Teddy might be Lucia’s greatest happiness in her life. Even though you weren’t
by her side at that time, what you did for Teddy is enough. I believe that you will cherish this child for the rest of your life.”
Arthur wanted very much to nod, but he just silently had awry laugh, hiding his guilt in the bottom of his heart.
“Lucia is in good health. You don’t have to worry so much. The baby will be born,” she assured him.
“Yeah, maybe we’ll have another kid as smart as Teddy.” Sophie, intent on comforting Arthur, missed the message revealed in
her words, but Bailey and Douglas heard it.

“What do you mean, Mom?” Bailey demanded immediately.
But no one answered.
Otis and Helena knew the whole truth, but they couldn’t come clean. Arthur and his parents had suspicious evidence, but they
couldn’t prove it right away, so Bailey and Douglas were the only ones who didn’t know.
“Mom?” Bailey didn’t get an answer and called out to Sophie.
“I’m just saying it. Doesn’t Teddy have Lucia’s genes?” Sophie can only muddle through.
But Bailey was clearly not to be fooled. “Mom,” he said to Sophie, with a straight face, “Is your son stupid?”
“Mom, I’m not stupid!” Douglas added, standing beside Bailey.
“Aren’t you two stupid?” Sophie retorted, unceremoniously.
Bailey looked at Arthur speechlessly. “Arthur, go ahead.”
Arthur glanced at Bailey and Douglas, got up and went upstairs. Bailey was furious and turned to Otis.
Otis took Helena’s hand and walked to the side hall, ignoring Bailey, who was jumping, and Douglas, who didn’t know it. Even
Sophie and Edwin got up after them and went upstairs, leaving Bailey and Douglas to stare at each other.
“Bailey, are we isolated?” Douglas asked Bailey, feeling aggrieved.
“Tell me about it!” Bailey said, feeling amused.
