On Our Wedding Day My Husband Announced His First Love Online-Chapter 68: Threatened Miscarriage

"You just said that Clara Langley was also at the Grant Family home at the time?"

"Yes..." I was a little confused why that was what he focused on. "What’s wrong?"

"It’s nothing. Just a moment, I need to make a call."

A moment later, Sebastian Forrest sat back down and placed his phone in front of me. "Take a look at this."

I quickly tilted my head to look and saw that what Sebastian Forrest was showing me was a detailed pregnancy consultation report.

After a glance at the name, my eyes widened. "Clara Langley? This is her diagnosis report from today?"

Sebastian Forrest raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Keep reading."

I kept reading, confused. When I saw the doctor’s diagnosis, my jaw dropped in utter disbelief...

Threatened miscarriage?

Vigorous intercourse?

’What... What was all this?’

I’d seen hickeys on Clara Langley before, but I just assumed Theodore Grant couldn’t control himself and they’d had a moment of passion.

’But to think they actually...’

’...did it?’

’And *vigorously*, at that...’

I wrinkled my brow in disgust and pushed Sebastian Forrest’s phone back to him, afraid that another glance might contaminate me with something filthy.

Sebastian Forrest chuckled at my reaction but put his phone aside. "You said earlier that when you were there, you happened to see Vincent Lombard fooling around with his mistress, right?"

"Right!" I nodded, disgust flashing across my face. "I only saw a silhouette at the time, but I’m certain it was a woman..."

As I said that, my words died on my lips.

Something flashed through my mind.

I looked at Sebastian Forrest, my face a mask of disbelief. He was watching me with a half-smile, his lips slightly curled. "Looks like you’ve figured it out. My clever junior is so smart..."

At that moment, I couldn’t be bothered by the teasing in Sebastian Forrest’s words and quickly said, "You... you’re saying that Clara Langley and Vincent Lombard... they..."

Sebastian Forrest chuckled and shrugged. "I didn’t say a thing."

"Senior Forrest!"

Sebastian Forrest didn’t tease me any further. "Based on the current situation, it’s highly likely the two of them are having an affair."

He didn’t declare it as a fact, obviously due to a lack of evidence.

But I still found it incredible. "But isn’t Clara Langley supposed to like Theodore Grant? How could she..."

Sebastian Forrest let out a soft laugh. "What’s so strange about it? Just chalk it up to biodiversity."

"..."

I lowered my head and silently poked at the rice in my bowl, still digesting the bombshell Sebastian Forrest had just dropped.

’The speculation was simply too outrageous.’

’However, if this speculation were true...’

Then Clara Langley would have an even stronger motive for poisoning my mother-in-law.

Fortunately, I had asked Mr. King to retrieve my mother-in-law’s daily medication today. He should have already taken it to be tested.

Barring any unforeseen issues, the results should be in by tomorrow. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

...

After several days of bed rest, I finally received a call from Mr. King one afternoon.

"Young... Miss Joyce, you instructed me to have the madam’s daily medication tested. The results are in..."

"How did it go? Was there anything wrong with the medicine?"

"There was nothing wrong with the medication."

I froze. ’If it wasn’t the medicine, then how was my mother-in-law poisoned?’

Seeing that I hadn’t spoken for a while, Mr. King asked with some concern, "Do you suspect someone poisoned the madam?"

I pressed my lips together. "The doctor said her symptoms are more consistent with poisoning, but he also ran tests and couldn’t find any toxins..."

’Was I wrong?’

’Was my mother-in-law really just sick? Not poisoned?’

Mr. King seemed to doubt my suspicion as well. "But the madam’s three meals a day are prepared by the maids. If she were poisoned, wouldn’t everyone in the Grant Family be poisoned too?"

Knowing he was right, I took a deep breath. "Okay, I understand."

"Then... Young Madam, if you need anything in the future, please just let me know. As long as it’s something I can do, I’ll be sure to get it done for you."

"Thank you, Mr. King."

After I hung up the phone, I paced back and forth in my room. I couldn’t quite believe my mother-in-law’s condition could have worsened so dramatically overnight.

’I felt the doctor’s suspicion had to be correct.’

’My mother-in-law had to have been poisoned.’

Just as I was growing restless and agitated, the phone on the table suddenly began to vibrate.

It was a call from Sebastian Forrest.

"Are you feeling any better today?"

"Yeah, I’m fine now," I replied. "What’s up? Is there a reason you’re calling?"

"Clara Langley is attending an awards gala tonight. Vincent Lombard is one of the sponsors, so he’ll definitely be there. Do you want to come with me and join in on the fun?"

As soon as I heard that, my heart began to stir with anticipation.

’Then again,’ I thought, ’attending an event like that with Sebastian Forrest would inevitably get people talking.’

’I didn’t mind for my own sake, but I worried it would damage Sebastian Forrest’s reputation...’

When I remained silent, Sebastian Forrest chuckled. "It’s fine if you don’t want to go. I can always give you a live play-by-play."

Hearing him say that, I quickly piped up, "I’d rather just go with you."

"Good," Sebastian Forrest replied unhurriedly. "Then I’ll come by to pick you up tonight."

...

Night fell, the stars shining brilliantly.

Even more dazzling than the night sky was the star-studded awards gala.

The autumn air was already a bit chilly, so I had deliberately worn a fringed shawl, which both kept me warm and hid my already slightly showing baby bump.

I was two months pregnant now, and my belly had started to show.

But perhaps because I was so thin, the bump was only slight. No one would think to guess I was pregnant, which was a blessing in disguise.

As soon as I entered the main hall, I began looking around and quickly spotted Clara Langley.

She was wearing a sky-blue, deep V-neck gown that showed off her impressive cleavage. A circle of feathers hung from her waist, perfectly concealing her lower abdomen, while the high slit of the skirt revealed two long, fair legs.

She was currently posing for the cameras, striking all sorts of alluring and seductive poses. Below, a crowd of reporters took pictures frantically, the sound of camera flashes forming a continuous clicking.

"Tired?"

Just then, a deep voice sounded from above my head. I glanced back reflexively and saw that Sebastian Forrest had appeared behind me at some point.

I quickly shook my head and glanced around again. "I don’t see Vincent Lombard."

"’What’s the rush?’ Sebastian Forrest smiled, placing a hand on my shoulder. ’Even if there is a good show, we’ll have to wait for the main banquet to begin...’"

Through my clothes, a steady warmth radiated from his palm.

For a moment, it felt as if the heat from my shoulder was spreading through my entire body, making my back break out in a light sweat.

However, Sebastian Forrest quickly removed his hand, then pulled a chair over from somewhere for me to sit on.

And just then, Clara Langley finished having her picture taken and was preparing to leave the stage to rest.

Then, I saw Vincent Lombard walk up to greet her.

’Showtime!’
