140 Hold on

Michelle was crying tears of joy upon hearing the good news. She and her husband did not lose hope, but they did not expect that they could have a baby this soon.

Upon remembering her circumstances on just recovering from the accident, her smile turned to a worried look.

She turned to the doctor. "Will my fracture affect my pregnancy?"

The attending OB-GYN smiled. "Most women who had accidents and had hip fractures were able to carry the baby to term. The only concern would be on the delivery, but some of then could still give birth normally."

Michelle continued to frown. "If it is safer for the baby, I can undergo Cesarean section."

The doctor maintained the professional smile. "We can discuss it later when you reach the third trimester. Right now, you need to be wary of food choices and activities."

Michelle finally nodded in understanding.

"Thank you, doctor." Riley smiled as the doctor bid her goodbye. He understood that everything was too much to take in for his wife.

"Riles, I'm scared." Michelle held onto his arm.

He sat on the side of her bed to embrace her. He kissed her temple. "Don't be. I'm here."

"Don't tell my parents yet. I don't want them to expect anything."

"We will protect this baby no matter what, but if you want to delay telling them, it's fine." Riley stroke her head gently, continuing to kiss her head.

"Why are we here?" Madeline Song sounded like she was complaining. Earlier that day, Long Yun told her to wear swimwear underneath her clothes, which she excitedly did. However, she was disappointed to see trees and more foliage as they were driving. It did not look like it will lead to a sandy beach anytime soon.

"You'll soon find out." He flashed her a grin.

She pouted and crossed her arms over her chest, highlighting her ample bosoms.

To her dismay, he parked the car seemingly in the middle of nowhere, with tall trees still surrounding them.

She looked down on her outfit. She was wearing a loose, almost see-thru shirt over her bikini top and white short shorts over her bikini bottoms. Her open-toe flat footwear completed the look of someone going to the beach.

She looked out her window and concluded that whatever could bite out there could easily spot all her exposed skin.

"Why do you look like that?" Long Yun had a teasing smile.

She harrumphed and turned her head away from him. She should have known that they are not going to the beach. If they were, why ride a car when it was obviously his backyard.

Long Yun went down first, which irritated Madeline Song.

However, his next move extinguishe her anger. He opened the door for her.

"Just bring your immediate necessities." he ordered.

Her furrowed brows became deeper, but she followed.

When she stepped out, she realized that there was a clearing for a path which looked like it was maintained by people. They walked for several meters until they came into a river. At its wooden dock was a plane/boat tied by a harness.

"Aren't you a pilot? Is that a boat or a plane?" She was confused. The thing looked like a small plane but it was floating on the water.

"It's both. It's the Icon A5." he replied nonchalantly. He then proceeded to open the flip-up door to reveal two seats which resembled a sportscar's.

He went into the boat and stretched out his hand to support her.

Though hesitant, she decided to trust him and took his hand.

He buckled her seatbelt before his own.

He started to drive the boat through the water in a steady pace. "You okay?"

She was then smiling brightly as she appreciated the scenery.

He had a satisfied smile, then he lowered the door/windshield to close their compartment.

"Hold on tight." He sped up the boat.

"What?!" She actually held onto his arm.

Her eyes widened when the boat started its takeoff from the water, successfully transforming into a plane.

"This is so cool!" She slapped his arm hard, making him wince a little.

He kept silent with just his smile and loving eyes on her.

He maneuvered the plane to make an 80-degree tilt as they reached a small island with fine white sand.

When they finally landed on the water, Madeline Song was so elated that she gave him a hug on a neck and a kiss on the cheek.

Long Yun laughed as she helped her out of the plane. Then he lifted her up to sit on one of its wings while he sat on the other.

Madeline Song beamed at him before taking a selfie, capturing him with the plane.

"So, you like your surprise?"

She nodded her head like a rattle. If he was not on the other side, he would have bathed in kisses.

"Hold on. You're line is choppy. Calm down." Dan could not make it what his wife is trying to say.

On the other end, Midori was in tears. "Baby, hold on." She was caressing her abdomen.

She winced as she felt another contraction.

"Hey, are you still there?" Dan was trying to keep calm, but the sudden call from his wife plus her anxious tone worried him.

"Come here. Now!" she shouted.

"What? Why?!" He started to panick.

"I'm having premature contractions!"

"What?! Hold on! I"ll be right there." He hung up and made another call. "Johnson, we're flying to City T."

"What time, Sir?"

"Now."

Employees were shocked to see the CEO ran like someone was after his life.
