Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 829

Staring at the computer screen, Vincent gazed the figure on the screen.

Ruben muttered, "I have never seen you so focused."

Vincent remained silent.

Then, Ruben added, "How did you know that Elaine and Howard had found out about what happened in the past few days? Were you behind this?"

"I heard them."

"What? How?" Ruben asked curiously, "Did you secretly follow her these days?"

Glancing at Ruben, Vincent jabbed, "Of course, not."

"So you..."

"I bugged her phone by using a spy app, so I heard all their conversations and knew what they were doing."

Ruben looked askance at him.

Howard was definitely no match for him who would execute such a dirty act.

After a pause, Ruben asked, "What are you going to do next?"

As Vincent gazed at the figure on the screen, a train stopped at the station and the figure followed the crowd into the train, and only then did he withdraw his gaze from the monitor.

Standing up, he kicked Ruben out of the room.

Agitated, Ruben rebuked, "Hey, you haven't answered my question yet."

But all he received was the closed door in front of his face.

In the train station.

The moment she entered the station, she could feel two pairs of eyes staring at her.

Women were always sensitive and alert.

She felt the gaze on her was getting more and more intense.

However, every time she turned around and tried to look for that line of sight, she couldn't find it.

As the train slowly approached the station, she picked up her luggage and waited for the door to open.

The train stopped, and that was when she saw a figure who had been following her closely on the reflective glass.

Calmly, she got on the train with her luggage, and the figure followed her.

If it was in the past, she would not have paid any attention to these trivial things, but she had become more sensitive now.

Perhaps her state of mind had changed.

Perhaps it was because she was certain that Vincent would not let her go so easily, so she was nervous and was easily frightened.

Because of this, she tried to squeeze her way to the crowded area in the cabin.

"Hey, stop it. Let us put our luggage first," someone complained.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

She apologized while squeezing through the gap easily thanks to her slim and petite figure.

While she was moving, she looked back and found that the man was still following her.

Anxious, she immediately exited the train after reaching to next cabin.

In the hospital.

As soon as Howard entered his grandfather's ward, he frowned as he saw the deliveryman coming out and asked, "I didn't order take- out. Whose order is this?" "A person with the last name Jacob."

Elaine?

Howard looked around the corridor and asked again as he didn't see her, "Where is she? Did you come alone?" NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"Who?" The deliveryman donned a confused expression.

"The lady who ordered the take-out. Did she not come with you?"

"You wouldn't see me if she could come," the man chuckled. "She left after ordering the food in the restaurant."

Howard frowned.

After that, the deliveryman left.

Standing by the door, Howard called her which took her a while to answer, "Hello."

The frown on his forehead didn't disperse. "Where are you?"

"I'm sorry. I may not be able to go to the hospital today, but I ordered some take-outs for you. You should have received it now."

"Yes, I did," Howard replied. "Where are you?"

"I'm outside."

"Outside where?"

Elaine was not good at lying. Usually, she would stutter when she lied, but she sounded exceptionally calm today, "I need to buy something, and it may take a while, so I'm not going to the hospital today. Please take care of grandpa."

This was not like her at all. She usually would not do this kind of thing, but she behave in an unusual way today.

Howard felt that something wasn't right, but he didn't take it seriously.

"Okay then. You don't have to come here. Go home after your shopping."

"Alright." Elaine said, "Dr. Perkins, is there anything else?"

"Nothing."

"Okay then. I'll call you. Bye."

After that, she immediately ended the call without waiting for his reply.

With the phone in his hand, Howard was in a daze as if he was deep in thought before he regained him composure and entered the ward.

His grandfather was eating.

"How did it go? Did you find Elaine?"

"Yes, but she said that she won't drop by today because she needs to buy something."

Grandpa nodded and asked again, "How about that woman? Is she all right?"

"Who?¹'

"You know who."

"Norissa?"

"Yes!" Grandpa glared at him. "How is she? How's the baby?"

"She's fine."

As Howard opened the lunch box, the smell of food exhumed his nose. He took a bite and MSG filled his mouth instantly. Finding that it was not as tasty as Elaine's cooking, he lost his appetite.

Grandpa breathed a sigh of relief. "Good to know."

After a pause, he continued, "Can we do the DNA test on the baby during pregnancy?"

"Yes." Howard nodded.

"In that case, you go and arrange for a DNA test for the baby in her belly. If the baby is yours, well treat her well. We don't want to be suckers if that's not your child."

"Mm," Howard mumbled.

The next day, Howard was shocked to see Elaine appearing in the hospital.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he asked, "Why do you come so early?"

With a smile, she said, "I bought breakfast for you

and grandpa."

Ambiguous feelings surged inside him when he saw her lovely and delightful smile first thing in the morning.

He leaned back on the chair and stared at her.

Confused, she touched her face and asked, "Is there something on my face?"

Howard couldn't help but reach out and pull her. "I want to hug you."

With a big fright, she quickly stepped back, blushing. "You are so annoying."

Howard's lips curled into a smile, but he didn't insist of hugging her since they were at the public place.

Instead, he stretched his neck and asked, "What did you bring us?"

"Some sandwiches, bread, and milk."

Howard rubbed his growling stomach. "I've been starving all night. You weren't here last night and I didn't have an appetite."

"Why didn't you order some take-outs?"

"I only want to eat the food you make."

Elaine pursed her lips timidly.

With that, Howard looked at her seriously. "Can you cook for me forever?"

Just when she was speechless, There was a cough coming from the bed as Grandpa got up from the bed. "Go outside for your lovey-dovey chitchat. I'm sleeping here."

Elaine and Howard exchanged awkward glances.

Then, Howard shrugged indifferently.

Sure enough, Howard ate more than usual when Elaine was around.

After breakfast, Elaine was tidying up the table when the door was pushed open. She thought it was Howard, but it turned out to be Norissa.

As soon as Norissa saw her, she smirked in disdain, "You're so pretentious. Aren't you tired for staying here round the clock?"

Elaine ignored her sarcasm since she was pregnant.

Norissa came in and said, "Grandpa, I heard from the nurse that you're in the hospital, so I came to visit you."
