Chapter 819

Author: Light Breeze
On Christmas Eve, the Ziegler family was celebrating good news.

Evelyn was pregnant. It was her first child with Eric, and neither of them had any experience, so they were flustered. She had some light bleeding and signs of a threatened miscarriage, so after weighing the risks, they went back to Brindley to see a trusted doctor.

The doctor was recommended by Gabriella. After spending a week in the hospital, Evelyn was discharged.

After they returned to the Ziegler residence, they realized something had been left behind in the ward. By chance, Landon was nearby for a meeting. After it ended, he went to pick it up.

At 4:00 pm, Landon drove toward Sacred Heart Hospital, the top maternity center in Brindley, staffed with several world-renowned obstetricians. Even in the middle of winter, the place was packed.

The black Cullinan rolled to a stop. Landon reached for his black overcoat, ready to slip it on and head inside, grab the item, and leave. Lately, his life had been simple, co

    There was a sea of people on the first floor of Nebula Group.All of them were employees from Nebula Group working overtime, along with shareholders, their heads tilted back as they watched a young woman standing before the public, all but admitting to her past and cutting ties with Landon.Anyone could see just how much Thalia loved Landon to give up herself. But Thalia was the only one who knew just how much bitterness and heartache that love carried.Landon kept his head raised, watching her face fade away as every screen went dark.Thalia was gone.Not only from the screens, but from the whole city. She said she was boarding a flight. Where was she going?His throat tightened as he turned to Leslie. "Find which airport she's at. Bring her back. No matter the cost, I want to see her first thing in the morning."Leslie said nothing and went to get it done.What they didn't know was that Thalia never boarded a flight. She walked out of the airport, took a cab, and ended up in

    15 minutes later, Leslie still hadn't seen Thalia. He went upstairs and knocked on the apartment door. After about two minutes, he sensed something was wrong and kicked it open without hesitation.The door flew open.Inside, it was quiet. A vase of white calla lilies bloomed, yet the silence was deafening.He called out a couple of times. Still, there was nothing but silence.He searched every corner, even the bathroom, but there was no sign of Thalia. Stepping back outside, he noticed a long hallway that connected to another entrance.With a heavy heart, he dialed Landon's number.On the other end, heated arguments were already underway. Even Dexter and his wife had turned up, which showed just how serious things had gotten.Landon was firm, but the outcome would still hurt the shareholders' interests.Some asked him to break up with Thalia for now and pick a woman from a family of equal status to get engaged to instead. Once the scandal died down, they could cancel that engag

    Thalia left.Willow ran after her, feeling sorry for her. She comforted her softly and then said to Leslie, "Take her to the Ziegler residence. I don't think it's safe for her to stay at the apartment. At least there, someone can keep an eye on her. If not, send her to Gabriella's and Xavier's place."She trusted Gabriella to handle things. And Xavier was reliable now too.Leslie nodded. "Don't worry, Ms. Harper. I'll make sure Ms. Sherman gets there safely."He had watched Thalia suffer all along the way, so he couldn't help but feel sympathy for her. Resting a hand lightly on her shoulder like an older brother, he said, "Come on, let's take the garage exit."By now, the reporters had already surrounded Nebula Group so tightly that there was no way out.The revelation that the future Mrs. Ziegler had once worked at a club hit like a bombshell.It was destined to be a sleepless night tonight.Thalia followed Leslie like a lost soul, but after a few steps, she suddenly turned ba

    Being the fiancee of the CEO of Nebula Group, Thalia could be just a trophy, with no impressive education, but she couldn't have any scandals."Digging Into the Future Mrs. Ziegler's Past.""Thalia's Scandalous History.""Mr. Ziegler Chooses Beauty Over Power."…Headlines like these were already drafted.A massive storm loomed over Nebula Group. Landon urgently called a PR meeting and told Leslie to get in touch with Thalia. But at that very moment, Thalia was already in the elevator on her way to his office.Willow, Julian, and all the major shareholders of Nebula Group sat inside Landon's office.When Thalia stepped through the door, the room fell tense. They were about to discuss Landon's love life. The shareholders wanted him to get a breakup, insisting no woman was worth this risk. But Willow and Julian stood on the other side, saying they accepted Thalia's past no matter what, and that they should face this storm together.The pressure on Landon was crushing.Given how

    That feeling was both familiar and strange for Thalia. She had been pregnant once before. Although she hadn't felt it long before losing the baby, it had sharpened her instincts as a woman. She pressed a hand to her chest, trying to hold it back, but in the end, she couldn't.She rushed to the bathroom, retching violently, but it was mostly dry heaving. When her stomach finally emptied, she leaned against the sink in a daze. Deep down, she knew she was pregnant.These past weeks, Landon had been glued to her side. And ever since his proposal, they hadn't used protection.She wanted a baby. Before, she had been eager to improve herself, to keep pace with Landon. But now, she thought having a baby would be wonderful, too. After the baby was born, she could hire a tutor and learn alongside her child.She figured she would have caught up to Landon by the time the child reached his teens.The thought alone made her heart feel warm.Beside her, Tully stared at her with envy.
