Chapter 279

After lying down for a while, I still could not sleep, so I said, "I can’t sleep, Theo. My body’s aching

all over. Can you give me a massage?”

"Where do you feel uncomfortable? Here?"

"Yes, my arms and thighs too. Also, my...

"I still can't sleep, Theo. Why don't you sing me a song?"

"Okay, I'll sing you a lullaby!”

"You know how to sing that?"

"Mm, I learned it some time ago so I would know how t o coax the baby in the future."

While listening to his deep and low humming, I finally fell asleep in his arms with a smile.

When I woke up the next morning, my arm was sore. It was probably because I was sleeping too

soundly that I forgot to turn around and switch sides. Lately, to avoid soreness from sleeping in the

same posture for too long, I would frequently turn over in my sleep.

As it was too late last night, I slept a little too soundly and forgot to turn over. Hence, half of my body

was aching a lot at the moment.

I lay flat on the bed for a very long time before finally

feeling better. Theo was no longer in the room. Looking at the time, it was nearly nine in the

morning. Although I was very tired, I still got up, washed up, and went downstairs.

When Miss Zuri saw me coming downstairs, she immediately served the breakfast she had

prepared.

"Mr. Grant went out to handle some business, Mrs.

Grant. He ordered me to make breakfast and wait for you to wake up before he left. Come and have

something to eat."

I nodded gently and drank a glass of milk. I forced myself to eat some eggs as well. Having

absolutely no appetite, I then got up and went to the garden to take a stroll.

The sky was clear after the rain. The morning sun was not particularly glaring, so I sat on a lounger

in the pavilion to soak up the sun. In no time at all, I dozed off.

In a daze, I felt something warm licking my leg. As I was wearing a dress, the heat and moist

sensation felt uncomfortable. I retracted my legs instinctively.

However, that thing followed me and placed two legs o n mine while panting.

I immediately woke up and felt my heart drop. The panting came from a dog!

I opened my eyes and saw a fluffy husky staring back at me with its eyes wide open.

Staring at each other, I shuddered and cried out involuntarily, "Ahh!"

With no regard for anything else, I screamed while jumping up from the lounger before dashing out

of the pavilion.

The husky chased after me from behind. The faster I ran, the more delighted it was to chase after

me... 1

When everyone else in the house finally heard me, I had already fallen to the ground from running

too fast. All of a sudden, everyone’s complexion paled and they did not know what to do.

I hugged my head and cried at the top of my lungs, " Hurry up and c-chase it away!"

It was only then did they come over to catch the dog. The doctor came out as well and immediately

checked on me while saying anxiously, "Hurry up and send her to the hospital!"

I froze and looked down, only to see red stains on my white dress.

I had yet to recover from the shock and was now struck by fear once more. I clenched the doctor’s

hand and asked in a panic, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the baby?"

The doctor motioned the bodyguard to pick me up and said while walking, "We're not sure yet. It’s

best to get i t checked in the hospital. Does your stomach hurt?" "I don’t feel a thing.” My heart was

taut. I was so nervous that it felt like my breathing was about to stop.

"Relax and take a deep breath. Getting nervous will not do any good for the baby. We'll be at the

hospital soon." The doctor patted my back gently, consoling me.

We arrived at the hospital in no time at all. After a round of check-ups, they said I was fine. I was

just excessively shocked, so there was some slight bleeding. The doctor suggested that I stay in the

hospital for a period of time in case of premature birth.

Half an hour later, Theo rushed in with his forehead covered in sweat. He approached the doctor to

ask about the specific details, then consoled me before asking the bodyguard, "Where did the dog

come from?”

The bodyguard looked terrified. "You ordered that no animals should appear in the house, so we

would patrol the area several times a day. Half an hour before Mrs. Grant went out, we had just

finished doing a full check. We had also checked the surveillance footage and found no dogs

coming in."

Theo frowned and said to Keith who had also arrived," Investigate this! I want this to be investigated

thoroughly!"
