“Sure, Mr. Ranford. If you’re not busy, let’s go together” Alexandra thought that since Julian had time to accompany her, he probably did not need to be in the office in the morning.
Julian answered and left the room to go to the study upstairs.
Just as he reached the study, Marco called.
“Hello?” Julian answered.
Marco sounded really anxious.
As Marco was about to sleep just now, Julian left him a message on WhatsApp, saying that he wanted to cancel the board meeting tomorrow morning and hold it on another day.
Board meetings were always held at the beginning of the month and on Thursdays of the first week of each month.
It was a tradition that went on for many years.
Marco flipped through his planner. The CEO didn’t have anything special or important to do tomorrow morning!
Hence Marco called Julian. “Mr. Ranford, do you have anything important to do tomorrow morning? The board meeting…”
Before Marco could finish his sentence, Julian interrupted him. “Yes, I have something very important to do tomorrow morning. Contact the participating shareholders and fix this meeting on the morning of the day after tomorrow.”
“What’s so important that you want to change the date of the board meeting?” Marco couldn’t tell what was going on from the CEO’s recent schedule.
Julian said, “I’m taking her to the hospital.”
Marco was a smart person. Immediately, he knew who Julian was referring to.
Now that he had cleared his doubt, Marco replied quickly, “Sure, Mr. Ranford! I’ll inform the shareholders immediately! You can focus on accompanying Mrs. Ranford tomorrow!”
After ending the call with Julian, Marco sent a message to Frank on WhatsApp about the latest developments in Julian’s love life.
“Frank, Mr. Ranford canceled the board meeting tomorrow morning. He has to accompany Mrs. Ranford to the hospital!”
“I know.”
“You know? Why didn’t you tell me? Hey! Why does Mrs.. Ranford need to go to the hospital? Is she pregnant? Oh my god! Mr. Ranford, you amaze me! Very good indeed!”
There was only one reason why Frank didn’t reply to Marco’s message. He didn’t want to talk to this foolish guy.
He did not want to insult his own intelligence.
The next morning, after breakfast, Alexandra left the villa with Julian.
Before they left, Josephine reminded Julian, “You must make sure the doctor gives Alexandra a thorough checkup! She’s still so young. If she’s cured, she doesn’t need to suffer!”
“Yes, Grams.”
“Thank you for your concern, Josephine,” Alexandra said.
After bidding farewell to Josephine, Julian and Alexandra got into the car and left.
Frank was tasked to drive them to the hospital.
He received the information ahead of Marco that Julian was bringing Alexandra to the hospital today.
Julian and Alexandra were in the back seats.
After what had happened after her ankle injury the last time, Alexandra felt a little worried.
She turned her head and asked Julian, “Mr. Ranford, let’s not go to that hospital this time. If we are photographed there again, it will bring you more problems.”
Julian turned around and looked at Alexandra’s serious expression. He comforted her gently. “It’s okay. I’ve arranged everything. This time, no one will
find out.”
Frank, who was in the driver’s seat, said, “Mrs… Ranford, don’t worry. Martha Connolly is in no mood to create any problems for you now. Her family is in
a mess.”
“Oh, Alexandra muttered. “My problem is nothing serious. Why does Josephine insist that I go for the checkup?”
Julian looked at Alexandra, who had lowered her head. He said, “Maybe Grams wants to have great–grandchildren soon,”
Alexandra looked up and met Julian’s calm and innocent gaze.
Chapter 114
For some strange reason, Alexandra felt like Julian was teasing her.
She turned her head away. Her ears were red, and she muttered softly, “Even if Josephine wants to have great–grandchildren, it has nothing to do with
me.”
Julian said nothing
He looked at the back of her head for a few seconds, then shifted his gaze to the direction straight ahead.
They arrived at Mount Victoria Hospital.
Because of what happened last time, Julian made careful arrangements.
Other than the emergency passageway, the medical checkup department was closed for the entire morning.
Mount Victoria Hospital was a hospital for wealthy patients. Usually, there were not many consultations. Every patient who went there was someone who had a high societal status.
Alexandra did not notice that Julian had arranged for many bodyguards at different places in the hospital.
The building for medical checkups was vacant.
Alexandra stepped into Mount Victoria Hospital again. She realized that there was nobody at the reception counter, and the entire building was empty. Alexandra thought that the hospital had closed down.
Alexandra turned around and asked Julian, “Mr. Ranford, is this a holiday for the hospital? Why aren’t there many people around?”
Julian lied and said, “It’s probably a good day today. No one is sick.”
Alexandra expressed her disbelief.
Frank turned his head sideways and smiled secretly.
Frank could not imagine the amount of money the top private hospital in Highclere City would lose just by being closed for the entire morning.
It was not a problem. After all, the boss was rich!
Even if the patients did not come today, they would come the following morning and afternoon.
Even the board meeting in the company had been rescheduled. It was no big deal that the hospital was closed for the entire morning..
As promised, Julian stayed by Alexandra’s side the entire time.
Alexandra became quite nervous, and her heart was pounding faster than usual.
After the elevator door opened, Julian brought Alexandra into a room.
There were only two middle–aged nurses in the room.
They were the head nurses of Mount Victoria Hospital. Both of them were experienced and reliable.
One of them handed Alexandra a glass of warm water. “Miss, drink some water before the checkup. It’ll be faster if you fall asleep.”
Alexandra tilted her head in confusion. From what she knew, checkups for the cause and treatment for menstrual cramps did not require any anesthesia. The patient did not even need to be asleep,
She looked at Julian and asked, “Mr. Ranford, why must I sleep during the checkup? I want to be awake during the process. I’m scared.”
Julian took the glass of water from the nurse’s hand and looked down at Alexandra. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll be with you the whole time. As Grams booked the best gynecological checkup for you, the process will be more complicated. You’ll be done after a nap.”
Alexandra looked at the glass in Julian’s hand. The water was clear.
She still felt a little uneasy.
Alexandra was afraid to let strangers examine her in such a big hospital while she was sleeping.
Julian could see her hesitation and uneasiness. He gently placed a hand on her thin shoulder.
Alexandra looked up at him.
Julian looked into her clear eyes and saw his reflection.
Her eyes were the most innocent eyes he’d ever seen.
Julian promised softly, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll be with you. I’ll be by your side the entire time. I’ll be by your side even if you fall asleep, and I’ll wait here until you wake up.”
At first, Julian thought that Alexandra might still be hesitant. However, she looked at him for a few seconds and took the cup from his hand.
The water was still warm.
Alexandra looked at Julian and said, “I believe you. Don’t leave me alone. Can you leave after my checkup is done and wait for me to wake up? Mr. Ranford is that okay?”
Chapter 114 “Okay.
Julian replied softly.
After that, Alexandra picked up the glass of water, looked at Julian, and drank the water in the glass in one gulp.
