Chapter 73 The Soup


    Chapter 73 The Soup


    During the car ride, Ranita reclined with a pallid face, perspiring from the agony.


    "Ranita, can you hold on?" Steve noticed Ranita''s condition through the rearview mirror, his usual


    composure now reced with tension. He pressed harder on the gas pedal.


    "Dr. Pearson, my stomach is hurting! What should I do? Is the baby alright?"


    "Don''t be silly! You and your baby will be fine!" Steve wasn''t one to make hasty promises as a


    doctor, but he couldn''t help it when it came to Ranita.


    "Really? Dr. Pearson... you''re incredible... if you say everything is okay, then it must be!" Ranita''s


    head spun, momentarily forgetting that Steve wasn''t an obstetrician - he couldn''t guarantee


    anything!


    Despite the pain, Ranita remained conscious when they arrived at the hospital. The cause of her


    abdominal difort might have been the Poria Soup she consumed, which pregnant women


    should avoid. Fortunately, she only had half a bowl.


    After receiving an injection for pain relief, Steve arranged a temporary bed for Ranita to rest while


    Dn rushed over anxiously.


    "Ranita! You scared me!" Dn hadn''t answered his phone because he was out of town, but he


    managed to rush back, running three red lights and almost losing all his points!


    Dn scolded her, "It''s not about losing points. How did you let ite to this? How many times


    have you been hospitalized recently?"


    "Not that many..." Ranita wryly smiled at Dn''s exaggerated words. "This time was truly an


    ident. I didn''t expect just half bowl of soup..."


    When they mentioned the soup againter in their conversation, Dn finally grew angry, "That


    woman Shannon must have done this on purpose!"


    "Dn, I genuinely think it was an ident! Shannon doesn''t even know I''m pregnant..."


    Dn snorted, "You fool! Shannon is your enemy, and you''re still defending her? Are you daft?"

    "Even so, without evidence, we can''t simply me everything on her!" Ranita didn''t like Shannon


    either, but she could distinguish right from wrong.


    "Alright, alright! You''re right!" Dn didn''t want to argue with Ranita, who was a patient, and ended


    the topic early.


    "This time, luckily, you were smart enough to seek Steve''s help instead ofing to me directly. If


    anything happened to you and the baby, I wouldn''t know what to do!"


    Dn breathed a sigh of relief but soon received a call from Chris in front of Ranita. Chris''s tone


    was serious, "Dn, you drove through three red lights, disregarding traffic rules in your sports car,


    and someone caught it on camera. Thepany''s public rtions team managed to stop it, but you


    better give me an exnation immediately."


    "I..." Dn didn''t know how to exin for a moment and looked at Ranita for help, "I had an


    emergency..."


    "An emergency? Breaking thew is one thing, but if you don''t get caught, it''s fine. Now that it''s


    caught on camera, if this affects our family..."


    Dn was so furious he clenched his teeth. Although he was the second young master of the


    Webster family, he felt like a quail facing an eagle when dealing with Chris.


    "I..." Seeing Dn struggle, Ranita took his phone away and put it up against her ear, "Mr.


    Webster... this is Ranita."


    "Ranita? What happened? Are you with Dn?" Chris was surprised.


    Ranita apologetically pinched the corner of her clothes as she spoke, "Mr. Webster, please don''t


    me Dn. It''s all my fault! I wasn''t feeling well, and he broke traffic rules because he was worried


    about me."
