She is a CEO novel Chapter 367

"Edwin, Sophie, long time no see!" Juliana exclaimed happily as soon as Edwin and Sophie entered the door.

"Julia, you're here too," Sophie smiled and walked over to see the baby for a while, and said, "I haven't seen the baby grow so big in such a long time. Is it hard to take care of the baby?"

"It's alright. There is a nanny here. Actually, I didn't have a hard time." Juliana replied with a smile.

Edwin watched Sophie and Juliana talk, and suddenly let out a cough that sounded impatient.

Sophie lowered her head and then said to Juliana with a smile, "Julia, can you take the baby upstairs first? Edwin and I have something to tell Lucia and Arthur."

Juliana had a relatively straightforward temperament and had a close relationship with Sophie and Edwin, so she asked directly, "What's the matter? Can't I listen?"

"No," Sophie explained softly, "can you bring the baby, if later... it's better to go upstairs."

Juliana stared at Sophie for a while. Seeing that her eyes were kind but with an unquestionable firmness, she could only suppress her curiosity and obediently take the baby upstairs.

Just as Juliana went upstairs, Arthur immediately frowned and asked his parents, "Mom, dad, what's the matter?"

The doubts in his heart were even greater. His parents' reaction must imply there was something wrong and it was a major event!

Sophie and Edwin looked at each other, and they both sat down. Sophie said to Arthur and Lucia, "Come and sit down too."

Arthur and Lucia sat down on the sofa and the two looked at Edwins and Sophie. As if they felt something, Arthur had been holding Lucia's hand tightly, which made Lucia a little nervous.

There was indeed a sense of oppression in the air, although the heavy rain outside the window had stopped at this time.

Sophie tried to open her mouth several times, but she never made a sound. She was afraid that tears would fall along with the sound, so she couldn't speak clearly, turned her head sadly and said to Edwin,

"Edwin, can you tell them yourself?"

Edwin patted the back of Sophie's hand lightly and calmed her down silently, but the bizarre behavior of the two made Arthur lose patience. He knew his parents too well, so he was more sure that something must have happened. Their actions were like the darkness before the storm, which was extremely depressing.

"Dad, what's wrong? Just say it." Arthur lost his usual composure and couldn't help speaking.

Edwin glanced at his son and let out a long sigh, if only he could say it directly.

Lucia on the side saw Edwin's embarrassment, squeezed Arthur's arm tightly, and said softly, "Arthur, don't be in a hurry. Let Edwin think about it."

Arthur said without hesitation, "I can't help it. They look like this. Something must have happened!"

Lucia knew, of course, that she was more disturbed than Arthur, but seeing the sad expressions on the faces of the two elders, she couldn't bear to urge them.

Edwin also knew that he couldn't hold on any longer. He, who had always been upright, looked slightly stooped when facing Lucia and Arthur, adding a sense of vicissitudes. He fixed his eyes on the ground and said,

"Yesterday, Esmae came to see us."

Before Edwin could answer, Sophie's choked voice couldn't be suppressed any longer, and the crying sound flowed out.

Lucia and Arthur looked at Sophie together. Only then did they realize that Edwin's shoulder were already wet. Surprised by the extent of Sophie's grief, Lucia panicked and knelt down to her, asking with a trembling voice,

"Sophie, please tell me. Teddy ... what happened to him?"

Although Sophie was unbearably sad, she knew that Lucia would be the one who would suffer the most when she knew the truth. So she didn't even care to wipe away tears, quickly reached out to support Lucia, and said to Arthur, "Arthur, hold Lucia. Listen to what your dad has to say."

Arthur was also very anxious but he still hugged Lucia and protected her before looking at Edwin.

"Dad, just tell me."

Knowing that any further delay would only make Lucia and Arthur more anxious, Edwin wrapped his arms around his tearful wife and started telling them about Esmae's appointment to meet them yesterday, and the news that Theodore was suffering from malignant lymphoma.

Malignant lymphoma!

This unfamiliar and straightforward words of their seriousness exploded in the minds of Lucia and Arthur. For a few seconds, both of them were stunned. After a few seconds, Arthur felt his hands sink and looked down. It turned out that Lucia fainted directly.

"Quickly! bring Lucia to the sofa!" Edwin was the first to react. He pulled his wife out of the way of the sofa, and quickly reminded his son.

Arthur himself was in a cold sweat, still thinking about the terrifying words. It was almost subconscious when he carried Lucia onto the sofa, and then he leaned back on the sofa and was startled.
