The Billionaire's Genius Wife



Doctor Robert proceeded to explain his office to Scarlett and Xander.

"Almost the entire floor is used as the workspace for me and my team. By the way, Scarlett, my most trusted gynecologist, will examine you in that room," Robert pointed toward one of the doors at the end before leading them into another room.

"And this is my office," he said, gesturing for them to take a seat. Once they were settled, he continued, "Scarlett, I've already arranged for the senior doctor to examine your pregnancy, so you don't need to worry."

"Thank you, Gramp," Scarlett smiled back at him, trying to set aside her worries. "I'm not worried. But I'm a little bit excited!" 

"That's great!" Robert sighed with relief as he noticed Scarlett's tension easing. 

Robert shifted the conversation to hospital matters as he chatted with Xander. Still, his thoughts quickly turned to one of his patients, Jonathan Piers. 

Curiosity sparked within Robert as he stole a glance at Scarlett, wondering about her father's condition. It had been months since Jonathan's surgery, and he hadn't received any updates from the hospital staff or Scarlett. Could it be that Jonathan was recovering well?

"Scarlett, how is your father's condition? Is he doing alright now?" Robert ask, his voice filled with concern.

After hearing Doctor Robert's question, Scarlett's face suddenly darkened, a shadow cast over her face.

Scarlett fought to push away her overwhelming sadness, her voice sounding soft and trembling as she spoke. "My father..." Her voice trailed off, her eyes starting to blur with tears. She held back her emotions with great effort, taking a deep breath to steady herself.

"My father... he passed away," she finally managed to say, her voice trembling as she delivered the heartbreaking news.

An instant hush fell over the room, the weight of Scarlett's words hanging heavily in the air. 

Doctor Robert was taken aback, his heart sinking at the news of Jonathan Piers' passing. Countless questions raced through his mind, wondering how Scarlett's father could have passed away so suddenly. Could there have been complications from his last surgery? Robert pondered deeply.

"Scarlett, I'm truly sorry for your loss..." Robert's voice trembled with genuine sorrow as he spoke. His eyes filled with empathy as he gazed at Scarlett, who was on the verge of tears.

Struggling to maintain her composure, Scarlett met Doctor Robert's gaze with a faint smile on her lips.

"T-Thank you, Grandpa," Scarlett replied, her voice tinged with sorrow as she cherished the memories of her father. "I believe my father is now in a better place, finding happiness in heaven. He was truly a good man..."

"On that, I am certain; he was indeed a good man!" Robert nodded slowly, his expression solemn. "If I may ask, how did he pass away? Did his illness resurface?" he asked.

Before Scarlett could answer, Xander chimed in, sensing the trouble his wife would be having to explain the situation.

"Sir, my father-in-law wasn't ill. However, he was killed in his own home..." Xander gently held Scarlett's hand, supporting her as he shared the grim details with Robert. He recounted the tragic incident where a team of assassins took Jonathan Piers' life.

Robert couldn't conceal his shock at the heart-wrenching news. An overwhelming sadness enveloped him as he contemplated the loss Scarlett had suffered, losing both her parents in such a brutal manner.I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com

How could someone as kind as Jonathan meet such a fate in his own home?

Robert wanted to give comforting words to ease Scarlett's sadness. However, his voice seemed to falter, as he feared that his attempts might inadvertently deepen her sorrow, particularly considering her early stage of pregnancy.

After a moment of silence...

"Scarlett, I truly hope that things will improve from now on," Robert said, mustering a smile to break the tension. "I believe your parents up there must be overjoyed with the news of your pregnancy. Please, don't be sad anymore, will you?" He smiled warmly at her.

Scarlett lifted her head, meeting Robert's gaze. Her smile appeared somewhat forced, but hearing his words—that her parents would be happy up there—gradually eased the heaviness in her heart.

Indeed, her father, in heaven, would be filled with joy. And if her mother were still alive somewhere, she would undoubtedly be thrilled to hear about her pregnancy too.

"Yes, they must be happy. Thank you for reminding me, Gramp!" she replied, her voice filled with gratitude.

Not long after, a female senior doctor with short, dark brown hair entered the room. As soon as Robert saw her, he stood up and introduced Scarlett to her.

"Scarlett, this is Dr. Tiffany, the best gynecologist in this hospital. You will be fine in her care..." Robert said reassuringly.

Scarlett quickly stood up and warmly shook hands with Dr. Tiffany. After exchanging a few words, they left Robert's office. They made their way to the examination room, with Xander accompanying them.

A man entered Robert's office after Scarlett and Xander left the room.

Even though Roland Gilwynn had long passed the throne to his son, his presence still held an awe-inspiring aura that fascinated all who encountered him.

As Robert was lost in a trance-like state and gazed at the influential figure standing closely before him, a realization suddenly dawned upon him.  His heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran down his spine with what he thought.

'Why does Sir Gilwynn bear such a striking resemblance to Scarlett?' Robert pondered. 

Second later, he hastily rose from his seat and offered a respectful greeting to Roland Gilwynn.

"Sir, it is a great honor for me to receive your visit," Robert said, bowing deeply to the man. Once Roland took a seat, Robert settled back into his own chair.

"Robert, my old friend, why were you surprised to see me just now? You looked at me like you just saw a ghost..." Roland spoke calmly, but Robert felt a warning under his words. He swallowed nervously, his mind racing with thoughts looking at Roland.
