CHAPTER 223: CHAPTER 223: I’M PREGNANT (PART 27)

"I understand, I’ll stay in Northriver for a few more days. Handle whatever you can over there, and anything you can’t wait for my return."

"Yes, young master."

"Also, go to the People’s Hospital now and find the handwritten medical records by your Young Madam. Take pictures and send them to me."

"Young master, what do you need this for?"

"You don’t need to ask, just be quick."

"Yes."

Jacob Green got dressed again and went to the ophthalmology research institute.

Director Finn was about to close up, but when he saw Jacob coming over again, he quickly asked, "Mr. Green, is there anything else you need?"

"Let me see Miss Tia’s confidentiality agreement."

"Sure, I’ll get it for you right away."

Director Finn immediately went back to his office and brought the confidentiality agreement for him to see.

Jacob flipped directly to the signature part, his eyes sharp.

He then returned the agreement, "Does she take notes regularly?"

"She does. Miss Tia is very diligent. Even though she can remember everything after my explanations, she still takes notes."

"Bring them for me to look at."

Director Finn didn’t dare to delay and quickly found the notebook at a desk and handed it to him, "This is her notebook."

"Do you know what Miss Tia used to do before?"

"I only know that she graduated from medical university, majoring in neurology."

Jacob’s hand trembled, then without raising his head, he spoke.

"You can put the agreement back now."

Director Finn returned to his office immediately.

Comparing the handwriting sent by Nathaniel, it was apparent to Jacob.

He put away his phone and placed the notebook back on the table Director Finn had used.

When Director Finn came out, he instructed, "Do not mention my visit here tonight to her, understand?"

"Don’t worry, Mr. Green, I won’t say a thing."

"She is Elliot Gill’s girlfriend. Clan Green and Palmer Group have business collaborations. You should treat her well, teach her diligently, and don’t withhold anything."

"We will, we will."

Jacob left the building, looked up at the pitch-black sky, and smiled happily.

...

Lucy Eaton returned to Newhope Commons, somewhat annoyed with herself for her actions. Why couldn’t she resist kissing him?

She clearly intended to approach him gradually.

Now look at the situation.

Given his temperament, meeting him again would probably be tough.

She lay on the bed, eyes blankly staring above.

The sound of a new message notification chimed.

She turned over, picking up the phone in her hand.

To her surprise, it was from Jacob Green.

[Room 8006, 8th floor, XX Hotel.]

[That’s where I’m staying.]

What does this mean?

Was he asking her to find him?

Or had he guessed her identity?

He’s so smart; he must have investigated her background.

He must have noticed something suspicious.

Regardless, for the past five years, owing to her promise, she would not admit to being Lucy Eaton.

She was just about to reply when he sent a third message: [I’ll leave you a room key at the front desk, see you at five tomorrow afternoon.]

Lucy Eaton was overjoyed, grinning non-stop with the phone in her hand, the happiest moment since the incident in Earshore.

After setting her phone down, Lucy Eaton took a shower and then rummaged through her closet before finally selecting a satisfactory outfit.

——

Lily Green held a wine glass, glancing at the ringing phone.

It was a call from Logan Moore.

This was already the seventh call tonight.

She tipped her head and drained the wine before setting the glass down to take the call.

"Hello."

The hoarse voice reached Logan’s ears, and he held his breath, remaining silent for a few seconds before speaking, "Did you tell your family?"

"Yes."

"What did they say?"

Lily Green knew that asking him to leave the secular life was impossible, so she didn’t want to spell it out, "They disagreed, they said absolutely not."

"I expected as much, but still wanted to hear it from you directly, hoping there might be a different answer. Nevertheless, I will take responsibility for you, Lily. I won’t break up with you."

"Your family disagrees, mine does too. How long can we hold on by ourselves?" Besides, they couldn’t elope. If they left, even if they weren’t brought back, the Grand Saint Temple would suffer.

"As long as we love each other, there’s no obstacle we can’t overcome."

"I shouldn’t have gotten involved with you," Lily Green sighed softly, "then we wouldn’t be in this situation."

"Are you regretting it?"

"Loving you isn’t something I regret. I just think that it’s better for one person to feel the pain than both," Lily Green’s tears flowed silently, "Logan, let’s break up. Let’s not meet again, you live your life, I’ll live mine. Let’s not have any more intersections. As your family said, we aren’t from the same world. Continuing this way won’t yield any good result, so why not part now and leave each other with good memories?"

Logan Moore felt a pang in his chest, "Lily, don’t... I’ll work to convince my family, just give me some time."

"But I can’t convince mine."

"I know why your family disapproves. My background is modest, and I’m a monk, but a person’s birth isn’t a choice. I was born in a temple, this is my home, I cannot abandon it."

"I know." That’s exactly why she didn’t want to force him to choose between the temple and her, not wanting to corner him.

"Lily..."

"Losing career prospects doesn’t matter. The issue is that my family won’t spare yours. My grandma is capable of anything, Logan, it’s just too difficult. I don’t want to put pressure on you, and don’t pressure me either. Let’s leave it here, okay? Although our time together has been brief since we met, I’ve been genuinely happy. The time we shared was fleeting, like a blooming morning flower, yet I felt truly happy. You gave me the love I’ve always wanted."

Lily Green made a firm decision, "I’ll change my phone number. Let’s not contact each other anymore."

She hung up the call, then copied out the information she had, tore her phone number into two pieces, and tossed it into the trash bin.

It’s over.

It’s all over.

Truly and completely over.

That whole night, Lily Green lay awake until dawn.

In the morning, she bought a new SIM card and sent a message to the family group.

[I’ve broken up, Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, you can be at ease now.]

When Jacob Green saw the message, he couldn’t help but rub his brow.

The old Mrs. Green replied in the group: [Prepare to attend the matchmaking banquet.]

He had thought that with his second sister’s personality, she definitely wouldn’t pay attention and wouldn’t listen to Grandma.

Who would’ve thought Lily Green would respond unusually, [I’ll attend.]

Their mother chimed in: [If you don’t want to go, then don’t. Or take a trip to unwind.]

The old Mrs. Green: [What unwinding? A matchmaking banquet happens only once a year. Next year she’ll be 27, and if she doesn’t settle her marriage while she’s young, how long will it drag on? This time she found a monk, who knows what she’ll seek next time. She can’t just make such a mess.]
