Chapter 1228
Lydia nestled in Quincy's embrace, drawing warmth from him. She sniffled and muttered, "I don't believe it. You always make things sound so easy."
Quincy didn't respond with words, just gently brushed her hair back. There was no need for them to say anything. Everything was understood in the silence between them.
Lydia stayed in his arms for a while longer, and Quincy, sensing her unsettled emotions, didn't rush her. They simply remained like that, in quiet comfort.
Once she felt a bit better, they both got into the car, and Lydia began explaining everything that had happened.
When she told him that Eugene was behind it all, Quincy wasn't surprised at all. His expression remained calm. "I had already figured out it was the Ford Corporation. I've been planning to take action against them." Hearing that Quincy had a solution already in place, Lydia finally felt at ease.
Just a few days later, Nash took action against the Ford Corporation. First, he blocked a major project they had been working on for half a year. He then exposed an old scandal they had buried years ago, using public pressure to overwhelm them. Within a few days, the Ford Corporation's stock price plummeted.
Quincy had played a significant role in this takedown as well. He had uncovered evidence of the Ford Corporation's hidden scandals and brought it all to light.
With the Ford Corporation scrambling to deal with their internal crises, they had no time to launch new projects. Soon, the clients who had previously pulled out came back, and Quincy quickly secured contracts to avoid any further uncertainties. Afterward, the Ford Corporation went silent for days, with no further moves. The staff at the company monitored the situation closely and finally began to relax.
"Mr. Quincy really nailed it. Fast, precise, and effective. I bet the Ford Corporation still hasn't figured out what hit them!" one employee remarked.
"With all these deals closed, shouldn't we celebrate?" someone else suggested.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
The entire company had been working around the clock for days to secure these contracts, and thinking about how hard everyone had worked, Lydia felt a little guilty. So, she waved her hand and booked a hotel to host a celebratory banquet. The team gathered in a private room, lively and full of chatter, with an entire table filled with dishes.
Lydia sat next to Quincy, who occasionally picked out her favorite foods and placed them on her plate.
One of the female employees, watching this, said enviously, "I'm so jealous of Miss Lydia. You have such a considerate boyfriend. Every time I see you two, I feel like going home and giving my husband a good scolding."
This comment made everyone laugh.
Lydia suppressed a smile, picking up a shrimp Quincy had peeled for her and popping it into her mouth.
Suddenly, a wave of nausea hit her.
Her brows furrowed as she felt a surge of sickness and immediately ran to the side to vomit, feeling dizzy and miserable.
Quincy quickly followed, looking at her with concern. "What's wrong? You're not feeling well all of a sudden. We should go to the hospital."
Everyone else chimed in, urging her to go for a check-up. The hospital wasn't far from the hotel, only about a ten-minute drive. It was better to get checked out than to continue feeling unwell.
Lydia originally wanted to refuse, but the discomfort was too overwhelming, so she reluctantly agreed.
Quincy drove her to the hospital, and they rushed to the emergency room for an examination, both of them worried it could be something serious.
When the results came out, both of them were dumbfounded.
"Your wife isn't sick," the doctor said,
noticing Quincy's nervous
expression and offering some reassurance. "She's pregnant. Here are the results-twelve weeks along. Congratulations to you both
Lydia stared at the doctor in disbelief, her hand instinctively moving to her lower abdomen, her face a mixture of confusion and wonder. "I'm going to be a mom... this soon?"
