Chapter 114
Someone in a car was observing a couple who had just entered the car, causing the observer to clench their fists.
"Follow their car, but don't let them notice," said the man with bright-colored eyes, making the driver nod. They kept a distance from the other car and continued to tail it.
"I heard his wife is pregnant and has just come out of a coma?" Jacob asked, glancing at the man next to him, a dark-skinned man who nodded.
"From the information I've gathered, that's correct," he replied, causing Jacob to furrow his brow.
"What happened to his wife? Because as far as I know, Marco would never allow his wife to be harmed in any way," Jacob said, still gazing ahead until they arrived at a large hospital, prompting Jacob's car to stop as well.
"I want you to keep following him. I want to know what developments you need to obtain. I need to get the key to his downfall, so that he'll comply with what I want," Jacob said, making the man nod. After that, Jacob stepped out of the car, surveyed his surroundings, and got into another car that had been following him. Jacob entrusted everything to a trusted ally named Moras. Jacob had matured enough to plan everything he had devised to bring down a certain Marco. Jacob wanted Marco to submit before him, shattering all his pride. Even since they were children, Jacob had never been able to make Marco submit to him, but this time it seemed Jacob knew how to make all his desires come true. He already held the key to making Marco powerless.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Marco led Letta's hand into a room for an examination. Marco and Letta finally sat in front of a doctor who began to assess Letta's current condition, examining her thoroughly. After that, they moved to another room to check on their unborn child. Marco and Letta smiled at each other when they found out that both Letta and the baby were doing well, and in good health. This made Letta finally grip Marco's hand tightly before turning to the doctor with a serious expression.
"Can we have intimate relations during my current pregnancy?" Letta asked, making the doctor smile, while Marco, for some reason, just turned his face away from the two women near him. Marco felt a little uncomfortable with the conversation.
"Yes, you can, as long as you do it safely. I mean, do it in a safe manner and make the mother and the fetus comfortable. Don't force it if you feel something slightly uncomfortable," the doctor said, making Letta smile.
"Thank goodness for that. We were afraid to do it at first because my husband was afraid of hurting me and our baby," Letta said again, making the doctor smile once more.
"It won't have any negative effects, especially since you're already 23 weeks into your pregnancy. This is a stage where the mother starts to feel comfortable with the current conditions she's experiencing, including physical and hormonal changes," the doctor said, causing Letta to nod again. After that, they continued discussing Letta's inquiries about the baby's health, diet, and exercise, before concluding their examination session.
Letta tightened their hand link and looked up, gazing at Marco.
"Are you going to the office today?" Letta asked, making Marco nod, causing Letta to stop smiling.
"Why?" asked Marco, noticing the change in his wife's expression.
"I was thinking of inviting you out since we're already outside. What if you take me for a walk?" Letta said again, making Marco pause for a moment before looking back at his wife.
"Where do you want to go for a walk?" Marco asked.
“What about the park, you know, the one we passed before we arrived at this hospital?” Letta replied, making Marco pause for a moment.
"That park is too crowded."
"Why? Isn't that good, so I can see around? I want to see people doing activities in the park," Letta said, making Marco eventually give in to his wife's request.
"Okay, then we'll go to the park, but not for long, okay? I don't want you to stay outside for too long, especially since it's already late afternoon," Marco said, making Letta nod. For Letta, it didn't matter, as long as she could breathe the fresh air outside. In reality, Letta still wanted to go to places she wished to visit, such as seeing the river, going to the sea, seeing the mountains, and being closer to nature. However, for now, Letta could only be content with visiting the park. Eventually, they got back into the car, but what made Marco stop in his tracks was when he saw a car far away from him. Marco furrowed his brow. It seemed like Marco had been seeing that car around too often. This made Marco stroke Letta's back, who also stopped in her tracks.
"What's wrong?" Letta asked, making Marco shake his head with a smile.
"It's alright, let's go inside now," Marco said, causing Letta to nod. After that, they got into the car, but Letta looked back at Marco with a questioning gaze when he didn't join her inside. "Wait here for a moment, I need to talk to Pedro first," Marco said, and Letta nodded. Marco then walked towards the car behind him where Pedro was.
"Did you notice that the car was following us earlier?" Marco asked, making Pedro discreetly glance at the car, which was quite far from them.
"I apologize, I didn't notice, but if there's a possibility that the car is tailing us, I will take care of it as soon as possible," Pedro said, making Marco nod.
"Yes, that's what you should do, find out who sent it, and what their motive is. I don't want anything that complicates matters for me," Marco said, making Pedro nod. After that, Marco returned to the car where Letta was waiting. "What's wrong?" Letta asked, making Marco shake his head with a calming smile for his wife.
"Nothing, just a familiar car that I saw, but don't worry about it. Pedro will handle it," Marco said, making Letta nod. They then continued their journey to the park Letta wanted to visit, with Marco and Letta heading there in the car. Meanwhile, Pedro slowly began to monitor the car not far from them, and sure enough, as Pedro drove a fair distance, the car was still behind them, maintaining a noticeable distance.
"Move our car to another lane. I want to see if it's following the boss's car or not," Pedro said, making the driver change lanes and choose not to follow Marco's path. Pedro seemed to be trying to trick the car, and sure enough, Pedro could see how the car slowly closed in on Marco's car. So, Marco's suspicion was correct; the car had been following them since earlier.
"Now we'll follow that car. We'll find out who it really is," Pedro said, making the driver take the same path as the car following Marco's. Pedro then looked at the car's license plate and memorized it. Whatever he would inform Marco had to be as detailed as possible, as both Marco and Pedro were people who could not ignore their Master's words.
