Chapter 802
On the second morning, Sylvia woke up punctually and had breakfast like usual.
She then took a ride to the gynecology hospital in the city center.
She waited for her turn in the public waiting area.
All the other young mothers who were also waiting for their turns were accompanied by their husbands.
One of the young mothers was having a difficult time and her husband pampered her by hugging and cheering her
up.
The other young mothers were also chatting with their husbands intimately and there was even a couple behind Sylvia discussing their child’s name.
Everything felt heartwarming and yet it was a luxury that she could not afford.
She looked down at her belly and said softly, “My dear child, Daddy isn’t here but I’ll be here with you always.” 1
Meanwhile, in the office on the highest floor of Carter Tower, the man was behind his desk working on his documents.
Ding!
His phone rang and the caller ID showed Lily’s name.
The shared project between the Carter family and the Springsteen family finally made new progress and Lily calling him at this hour must probably be work-related.
He put his document down and answered the call.
“What is it?” he asked.
Lily said with a chuckle, “Master Carter, it’s about the proposal on the project. My design team has edited it and I’ve sent it to your mail. Please have a look.”
“Noted.”
“One more thing. I’m planning to go on a site visit later. Are you coming?”
There were a variety of restaurants on the street. She had a quick stroll around and finally found a local specialty restaurant for lunch.
The place was not extremely crowded, so she went inside and sat down on a two-people seat near the wall. She ordered all her favorite food and started gobbling down as soon as the dishes were served.
The serving speed was rather quick. Her table was filled with dishes in a short while.
While she was enjoying her lunch, she heard a familiar voice from the entrance, “Master Carter, there are two seats here. Let’s go in.”
“Okay.”
A familiar voice of a man also entered her ears.
Sylvia froze. She carefully turned around and saw the couple sitting down beside her.
She was just one divider away and all she saw was the back of Odell’s head.
Her pounding heart immediately calmed down and continued eating her lunch after a quick sigh.
