    Chapter 356 Damsel in Distress


    “Mrs. Morgan...”


    William supported Annie into the room, standing respectfully on the side.


    “Mr. Moore, why are you here?” Mnie was puzzled.


    “For the details, you can ask President Snow. | have other matters to attend to, so I''ll take my leave.” William nodded politely,


    exiting the room and closing the door behind them.


    “Where are you hurt?”


    Mnie crouched down, looking at Annie, who was drenched in water.


    “| sprained my ankle. I’ve already been to the hospital. I’m fine. Sorry for making you worry.” Annie spoke with a hand over her


    mouth, but then she suddenly remembered something and urgently added, “By the way, William suddenly appeared for some


    reason. It means Jeffrey''s also in Medonia. Be careful not to be deceived by him!”


    “He’s already deceived me.”


    “What?”


    Annie jumped up in surprise, but her injured foot ached, causing her to sit back down.


    “Don’t get overwhelmed. | know what to do.” Mnie held onto Annie’s shoulder, trying to calm her. “Tell me how you


    encountered William.”


    “l was unlucky. | took the wrong route, and ran into a few ruffians. William appeared and saved me,” Annie recalled in a low


    voice. Suddenly, she raised her voice. “Let me tell you, William must have been tracking me! Birds of a feather flock together, so


    be careful of Jeffrey!”


    “He saved the damsel in distress?” Mnie could sense some gossip.


    Annie immediately rolled her eyes. “I might be a damsel, but he doesn’t qualify as a hero.”


    “Not a hero? Didn’t he drive away the ruffians by himself?” Mnie seized the key points in Annie’s words.


    Annie felt defeated, and didn’t argue further.


    Mnie helped her into the bathroom for a shower and said with concern, “The Perfume Blending Competition officially starts


    tomorrow afternoon. | won''t have time to take care of you. I''ll get you a temporary maid to look after you for a couple of days. I''ll


    take you home over the weekend.”


    “Go home?” Annie was surprised. “Don’t get distracted because of me. The doctor said my injury will heal in three to five days.”


    “It''s not just because of you. Since the perfume only takes a day or two to prepare, the rest is aging time. If | don’t have any new


    ideas, | don’t have to stay here all the time,” Mnie exined. “Now that | know about Emma’s identity, | want to go back to visit


    her adoptive mother and Nathan.”

    Annie nodded, and then said, “Today, | went to explore the local food around here. What do you want to eat? Let’s go eat quickly.


    I''m hungry.”


    Talking about food made Mnie''s head ache. ‘I still don’t have much appetite. Are there any light food?”


    “| do know of a ce. Let''s go there!” Annie said proudly.


    “Alright.”


    Mnie smiled. She knew Annie hadn’t been wandering aimlessly for the past half day; instead, she had been exploring the


    nearby area on her behalf. Aware that Mnie had no appetite, Annie specifically searched for light-tasting food, not wanting


    Mnie to notice that she was worried.


    The next day, the Perfume Blending Competition officially began. There wasn’t a particrly grand opening ceremony for events


    in Medonia. Mnie, as one of the first batch of participants, had already entered the fragrance blending room with a few other


    participants who arrived early. The opening ceremony was kept


    simple.


    Annie rested alone in the hotel, while Jeffrey took charge of Morgan Group’s branch in Medonia.


    On that day, Jeffrey received a call from Madam Morgan. “What have you and Mnie been busy withtely? It''s been a long


    time since you visited me.”


    Jeffrey tried to evade the question. “I''ll return home in a few days to see you.”Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    “And Mnie?” Madam Morgan inquired.


    “Mnie’s been very busytely...and her health is not very good... We''ll visit you once she’s feeling better.” Jeffrey continued to


    come up with excuses.


    “What''s wrong with her health?” Madam Morgan became concerned.


    Jeffrey took a deep breath. He shouldn’t have mentioned that. He paused before exining, “It’s not severe. She''s just too busy


    and has gastric, and she has no appetite.”


    “Oh, so she’s pregnant this time, right?” Madam Morgan suddenly became excited.


    “No...”


    Jeffrey was about to deny it when he suddenly thought of something. Thetter part of.the sentence got stuck


    in his throat.


    He remembered that her usual menstrual cycle started at the end of every month, but during thest few days ofst month, they


    slept together in the office...


    She had been vomiting and feeling dizzytely...she might really be pregnant.


    Jeffrey subconsciously clenched his fist, and a fire seemed to burn fiercely in his heart.


    If she was pregnant with his child...then...


    He couldn''t wait to know the answer. He couldn''t wait to take care of her!
