Chapter 1296 Something''s Wrong With Erica


    Gifford couldn''t help wondering, ''Did Chantel take all the responsibilities in front of my parents alone?''


    So, he asked, "What did Chantel tell you?"


    ir was about to answer, but Wesley stopped her. He was the one who spoke. "She didn''t say much


    about it. She said it was her fault, and she just forced you to do it. ording to her, you were also a


    victim."


    Gifford''s face darkened, but it was indeed the truth. Then he said, "If it weren''t for that bottle of toxic


    spray, she couldn''t have taken advantage of me."


    Wesley was surprised to hear him mention the toxic spray. He thought of something, so he tried to


    probe, "Was it Erica who gave the spray to Chantel?" Anyway, Erica and Chantel were unable to deal


    with Gifford in normal circumstances.


    Even a dozen women like Chantel and Erica would never be able to control a man like Gifford.


    "Mm," Gifford answered sourly.


    His reputation was ruined by that toxic spray, so he tried his best to find its source. Unfortunately, he


    failed.


    "Well, let''s not talk about thoseplicated things. The reason why we asked you toe back this


    time is for you to marry Chantel. Take her to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get your marriage licenses. We


    have already prepared your residence booklet," said ir while taking out the residence booklet.


    Gifford was forced to take it and asked, "Mom, how can I get our marriage licenses that easily? It''s not


    that simple. I haven''t even applied to my superior yet."


    She patted his shoulder and smiled kindly. "Don''t worry. Your father has already done it for you."


    He was in awe. Disbelief was transparent on his face. "Where is the application form then?" he asked.


    "Your father has already asked someone to send it to the Civil Affairs Bureau. All you have to do now is


    go there with Chantel for a personal appearance." Actually, Wesley was dubious about Gifford''s


    possible decision, so he prepared everything for him in advance.


    Looking at the residence booklet in his hand, Gifford was at a loss. He didn''t know whether tough or


    to cry. It was obvious that his parents were determined to force him if necessary. "Do I have a choice?"


    he asked.


    "No, you don''t. So, go now. Chantel is already waiting for you." ir was the most excited at the


    moment. Finally, her son was getting married, and her future daughter-inw was now pregnant. A


    grandchild wasing very soon. Two happy events happened at the same time.


    On the other hand, Gifford was speechless as he was in deep thoughts.


    ''Is this for real? Am I really going to fall into the hands of a woman? When I brought her back here, I


    thought that dealing with a woman like her was just a piece of cake. I have never expected that she


    would set me up, and I would marry her in the end.''


    It was still half a month before Yvette''s wedding, but Gifford had ended his almost 33 years of


    singleness.


    But since he had always been a busy man, he had never returned home since he got their marriage


    licenses that afternoon.


    Chantel didn''t mind his cold attitude. While watching his car disappear, she touched her protruding


    belly and said to herself, "It''s alright, Gifford. I promise that I will study very hard to match you in the


    future."


    Remus and Yvette''s wedding was held as scheduled. Although it wasn''t as grand as Erica''s, it was still


    one of the most luxurious weddings in A Country.


    A day before the wedding, Matthew rented a private ne and took the Huo family members to A


    Country to attend the wedding. But since there were so many guests, they immediately returned to Y


    City in the afternoon in order not to add to the Li family''s burden.


    However, Erica stayed because she wanted to spend more time with her mom. She knew that ir


    was a little sad because she and Yvette had already gotten married, and they wouldn''t be able to see


    her more often.


    It had been two days since Yvette''s wedding was held. Erica and ir were watching TV in the living


    room while eating some sunflower seeds and drinking iced fruit juice.


    ir suddenly remembered Chantel, who had been experiencing morning sickness recently, so she


    couldn''t help asking her youngest daughter, "Rika, Chantel is already pregnant. How about you? When


    are you nning to give me a grandchild?" Erica and Matthew had been married for more than half a


    year now. ir thought that it was time for them to have a child.


    "Mom, don''t worry about us. We are not in a hurry." She wasn''t in a hurry because she was rich now!


    She had thirty billion dors in her ount now after Matthew had transferred her some more money.


    She was a rich woman now. With her money, she could buy, eat, and drink anything she liked. Having a


    child was herst priority for now.


    Talking about money, she seemed to have remembered something. She dropped the sunflower seeds


    in her hand and said, "Mom, wait a minute."


    She hurriedly went to her room upstairs and took out a bank card. She then went back downstairs and


    showed it to ir while panting. "Mom, there''s one hundred million dors in this ount. This is for


    you and Dad. My sister and I won''t always be home to apany you, and Gifford is always busy too.


    You and Dad should enjoy yourselves."


    "What... did you just say? One hundred million?" eximed ir.


    "Yes, you heard it right!" After Erica had lived with Matthew for a long time, one hundred million was


    just a small amount of money for her now. "Mom, if this is not enough, I can transfer another two


    hundred million dors here." She thought for a while before adding in a low voice, "How about five


    hundred million? Anyway, I have thirty billion right now. Five hundred million is a drop in the bucket


    for..."


    Before she could finish her words, ir eximed again, "Five hundred million?"


    Erica blinked and said calmly, "Yes, Mom. I''ll transfer the money after I go back to Y City." Since arge


    amount of money was involved, she couldn''t do the transaction online. She had to go to the bank to


    deal with it.


    "No, no, no!" ir shook her head vigorously. She didn''t know whether tough or cry. "Why would you


    give us such money? Just keep it. We are not in need of money, anyway." ''Matthew is really rich. Rika


    can even give us five hundred million dors as if it''s just a small amount, '' she thought.


    "No, Mom. You have to ept it. Matthew always reminds me to be a filial daughter to you, and he


    wants me to support you financially. Besides, you have given me all the betrothal gifts from the Huo


    family. I have so much money now that I can''t even use it up in my lifetime." Erica couldn''t help thinking


    that if one son would use one billion dors, how many sons did she need to have to spend all her


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    money?


    However, ir put the bank card into Erica''s pocket and said, "Keep it for yourself. You always spend


    money like water. What if you run out of money one day? And remember, Matthew is working hard to


    earn the money he is giving you. He doesn''t just pick money on the street, so don''t ask for money from


    him all the time."


    "Mom, I didn''t ask for money. He just gave it to me willingly," she replied innocently.


    Then all of a sudden, sheined, "Mom... my stomach is aching."


    Her face turned as white as a sheet.


    At first, ir thought that she was just kidding. But when she saw her pale face, she got frightened and


    quickly stood up from the sofa to support her. She asked anxiously, "What''s wrong with you? You were


    fine just now."


    "I don''t know either," Erica replied weakly. With a painful look on her face, she pressed her belly hard


    and asked, "Do you think it has something to do with my monthly period?"


    But it was strange. For so many years, she had never felt this painful before every time her monthly


    period came.


    With a confused look, ir asked, "Does this usually happen when your monthly period ising?


    Let''s try to sit down again."


    "I can''t sit, Mom. It really hurts a lot." Erica leaned against ir''s chest feebly.


    ir''s instinct was telling her that something was wrong with Erica. Obviously, it wasn''t just a simple


    dysmenorrhea. She immediately called Wesley, who was resting upstairs. "Wesley,e here quick!


    Something''s wrong with Rika!"


    Wesley hung up the phone and rushed downstairs when he heard her voice. As soon as he saw Erica''s


    pale face, he asked worriedly, "Rika, what''s wrong?"


    But Erica was already too weak to speak.


    "Let''s take her to the hospital now!" ir anxiously said, tears threatening to roll out of her eyes.
