The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

Sebastian handed the phone directly to Molly. He was driving, and she was coaxing.

"I put the money.. Keep your voice down, or the neighbors will hear that you have money under your pillow, and the house might get robbed."

"I gave you this money because I knew you wouldn't take it otherwise, so I had to sneak it in. Grandpa and Grandma, you're getting older, so don't work in the fields so much."

"My grandpa just had major surgery last year, and the medication and supplements are a big expense. Just use this money for those. When it gets hot, Sebastian and I will come back to take you here to enjoy a summer vacation." Zoey, reminded by Molly, lowered her voice. "Silly child, we're old; we don't need that much money; it's too much."

Molly comforted Max and Zoey for almost half an hour before finally calming them down and hanging up the phone.

Molly asked Sebastian, "Do you think Max and Zoey will use this money to help out Stella's family?"

"If they really can't stand it, they might offer some assistance.. As parents, who don't care for their children? But Max and Zoey aren't foolish; they know when to stop."

Molly nodded and expressed her disdain for that family in the car.

It was dark when they returned to Zandonick.

As soon as they entered, they saw Ellie drinking medicine. "Mom, what medicine are you drinking again?"

"I've been feeling a bit tired lately, so I'm drinking something to calm my nerves."

Ellie put down the medicine bottle and took the bottles and jars from the table upstairs.

Molly watched Ellie's back and turned to Sebastian. "Sebastian, Mom has been taking medicine for several months now, and the dosage keeps going up."

Sebastian glanced upstairs. He was sitting in the living room, across from Timothy. "Dad, did you go to the hospital today?"

"Who told you that?"

Sebastian said, "There was a medical booklet in front of your car."

"I just went in to buy some medicine while passing by." Timothy got up and was ready to go to the yard to take the medical booklet from the car. But when he got there, he found there was no medical booklet in the car.

He realized that Sebastian had tricked him. Sebastian was treating him like criminals! Having a police officer as a son was like having a lie detector at home.

When he returned, Sebastian directly asked Timothy, "What's wrong with Mom?"

Timothy replied, "Nothing. We went to buy some medicine."

Molly went to the bedroom to find Ellie, "Mom, don't scare me. There can't be that many health supplements."

Molly and Sebastian each asked separately, and finally, Molly went to Sebastian's bedroom. Sitting at the end of his bed, she said, "Sebastian, Mom said she's taking medicine sleep." Sebastian added, "Dad said that Mom is taking it because of stress."

Neither Molly nor Sebastian believed it.

"Sebastian, let's take Mom and Dad to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow. They're getting older, and regular check-ups are necessary."

"Okay."

After agreeing, Molly and Sebastian went to sleep.

The next day, Timothy and Ellie wanted to sleep in, but Molly and Sebastian's calls from outside forced them to get up.

Without breakfast, they took Timothy and Ellie to the hospital for a check-up.

Molly linked her left arm with Ellie's and her right arm with Timothy's, feeling very happy in the middle. Sebastian went ahead to find a nurse to fill out the forms. After that, Molly and Sebastian each took one parent for the check-up. Ellie only admitted it when her arm was being drawn for blood.

While checking bone density, they ran into an acquaintance.

"Ellie?" A doctor hurried over. He was about to ask Ellie if she was feeling unwell when he saw Ellie slightly shaking her head.

But by then, the doctor had already approached.

Seeing Ellie's signal, the doctor quickly changed the topic, "These two are your..."

"My son and my daughter." Ellie saw the curiosity in the doctor's eyes and quickly said, "Sebastian and Molly."

The doctor paused for a moment. He was about to praise Ellie's son and daughter-in-law for being so considerate but was afraid of mistaking them.

Luckily, he didn't make a mistake.

Then he asked, "Do your kids come to accompany you for a check-up?"

After a brief chat, they parted ways.

The results would be available the day after tomorrow. After the check-up, the family of four went home. Molly, in the passenger seat, searched for a restaurant on her phone and sweetly asked Sebastian to take her there. Sebastian drove straight there.

On Monday, Sebastian went to work and took Molly to school.

As soon as they arrived, they ran into Patrick, who was dropping off Vera.

Molly shouted, "Patrick!" and then ran over, holding Vera's hand. "Leave your wife and son to me, don't worry."

Patrick said, "Take care of Vera, and don't eat the school food, no matter how tempting it is."

Molly agreed.

Soon, Randall also appeared, carrying books for the three of them, and they walked into the classroom together.

Molly handed Vera some strawberries from her bag. "My grandma made it. I tried it; it's sweet and sour and very good, but you can't eat too much, only when you feel really nauseous."

Vera thanked her and accepted it. Then she asked, "You said you went to the hospital yesterday; what happened?"

Molly replied, "Sebastian and I took my parents for a check-up, mainly my mom. She's always taking medicine, so we wanted to check her health. The results will be out tomorrow. I won't go back to the apartment at noon; after school, I'll go straight to the hospital to get the results."

After a day of classes, Vera's butt was sore from sitting.

The wild hawthorn Molly brought did help relieve her nausea, especially at night, so she didn't have to get up and hug the toilet to vomit.

She felt better, and her complexion improved a lot.

When Molly went to the hospital that day, she couldn't find her parents' medical records. The doctor told her they had already been picked up.

She called Ellie, who told her, "You're busy with school, and Sebastian is busy with work. I had my secretary pick up the results. The doctor said your dad and I are fine, so don't worry." Then Molly returned to the apartment just in time for dinner.

"Molly, you're back so soon. How are Timothy and Ellie?" Vera asked.

Molly sat next to Vera and picked up a fork to eat. "My mom's secretary picked up the results. The results were picked up by my mom's secretary. She said everything was fine." Vera said, "Then just listen to Ellie."

Molly nodded.

Vera had been experiencing morning sickness for two weeks and had even lost weight.

Once it eased, she started eating a lot.

She didn't know why, but she was always hungry. With the stress of studying and a little one in her belly absorbing her nutrients, she sometimes couldn't get enough with three meals a day.

At lunch, Randall looked at Vera, who was gnawing on a chicken leg across from him, "Vera, your current meal intake is equivalent to what you used to eat in a day." Eating well made her family feel at ease.

Sometimes, after nine, she would get home and sit in the living room with a plate of fruit. When Patrick came home from work, he would bring her something to eat. The Olteran family was happy to see her eating, and Molly often carried some snacks in her pocket.

She finally gained some weight.

One night, Vera couldn't sleep and kept tossing and turning in bed.

Patrick woke up in the middle of the night and checked the time. "Vera, are you feeling unwell?"
