Chapter 267: I'll Be Your Mother in The Future

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The phone rang for a while and was answered just as the service provider was about to cut the call. The voice on the other end of the line was very surprised, “Sammy?”

“It’s me.” Samantha smiled slightly. “How have you been, Dr. Sherwood?”

That was the first time Samantha had called him since he left, he even wondered if he had misread when he first saw the caller ID.

Hearing that familiar voice, he could not help but smile. “I’ve been good. How about you?”

He thought that they would no longer be in contact if there was nothing important.

He was pleasantly surprised and very happy too.

“I…” Samantha hesitated before going any further. Instead, she rephrased and asked, “Dr. Sherwood, do you mean what you said?”

Alan’s smile receded.

It appeared that something did happen to her.

When he left, he had promised Samantha that she could come to him if she ever needed any help.

He also knew that Samantha was not the kind of person who would trouble others if she could help it. The fact that she spoke up at that time was proof that it was a serious matter.

Alan replied unhesitatingly, “Of course. I always keep my words.”

After a pause, he guessed, “Is it about Corey?”

There were only a handful of people who could spur Samantha into asking for help from others without hesitation.

“Yes.”

Samantha did not go into the Lychee TV but instead went to the convenience store nearby. She sat down on a chair outside, stared at the busy traffic on the street, and lowered her voice.

Alan then said, “Corey’s current situation is very stable from what I know. Did something unexpected happen to him?”

“No, Corey is fine, but he just hasn’t woken up yet.” Samantha took a breath. “You once told me that you hope for him to be transferred to an overseas hospital so you can personally treat and take care of him. I’m agreeing to that right now. Is there still time?”

Her words surprised Alan.

He had previously proposed for Corey to get treatment abroad but Samantha did not agree at the time. Firstly, she had hoped that she would be able to care for Corey in person, with the second reason being that Timothy had been actively searching for a suitable heart for him. There was no longer any pressing need for Corey to go abroad if he could still be well taken care of in the country. As a result, Alan did not bring up that matter again.

Needless to say, he was surprised that Samantha would take the initiative to bring that up again.

“I’m glad that you’re willing to leave Corey in my hands to get treatment, but I can’t help wondering why you changed your mind all of a sudden?”

Alan’s tone sank, “Did you and Timothy…get into problems again?”

Samantha kept quiet and finally spoke sometime later. “I’m sorry, Dr. Sherwood.”

Her apology was an indication that she was hesitant to say any further.

She had always been the kind of person who kept to herself regarding the pain and suffering she was going through.

Alan sighed softly. “Okay, I won’t pry. As for Corey, you can be rest assured that I’ll arrange for it immediately.”

“You don’t need to worry about anything if Corey is by my side. I’ll protect him.”

Samantha answered gratefully, “Thank you, Dr. Sherwood.”

“You don’t need to thank me. Corey is my patient, and you know I’ve always been fully responsible for my patients. I can’t ruin my reputation, after all.”

His words made Samantha smile involuntarily. “You’re right. You’ve always been a very responsible doctor.”

He had taken great care of her when she was his patient.

“By the way, I have one more…favor to ask,” Samantha said. She seemed hesitant but eventually continued, “…although you can always refuse.”

“Hmm?” Alan realized something was off and spoke more seriously. “Tell me, what’s the matter?”

Samantha went straight to the point and asked, “Well, since you’re a doctor, you probably know Dr. Jameson, right?”

Dr. Vincent Jameson, along with Alan’s master Dr. Arthur Louie, were known as the two giants in the medical field. Dr. Jameson’s specialization was gynecology.

“Yes,” Alan cleared his throat. “I know him quite well.”

“How…well?”

“He’s my uncle.”

Samantha’s eyes widened suddenly. She originally thought that Alan would know those renowned individuals in the medical field because he was a renowned doctor himself, but she never expected he knew both of the medical world’s giants. One of them was his master while the other turned out to be his uncle.

Although she had guessed that Alan had a remarkable background, she hardly envisioned reality to far surpass what she had imagined it to be.

“Ahem,” Samantha cleared her throat at just the right moment.

Alan seemed to chuckle at the other end of the line and took the initiative to circle back to the main topic. “Why do you ask? Do you want to give him an exclusive interview, or…do you want to seek treatment from him?”

When he reached the last few words of his sentence, he suddenly realized something and asked. “Sammy, are you…pregnant?”

Why else would she look for a gynecologist?

“Yes. I am,” Samantha answered truthfully.

There was a long silence from the other end. By the time Alan spoke, his voice had become slightly hoarse. “Congratulations, Sammy.”

“Thank you.”

“Are you feeling unwell? Is that why you want to look for Dr. Jameson?” Alan’s voice was filled with care and concern.

Samantha bit her lower lip gently before opening her mouth slowly. “The reason I’m looking for him is because…”

After ending the call, Samantha got up and walked to Lychee TV.

She took the elevator to the top floor and saw Harmony standing outside as soon as the elevator door opened.

Harmony glanced at Samantha and smiled slightly.

It was clear from Harmony’s posture that she deliberately stood there to block Samantha’s way.

Samantha lifted her feet and walked out.

Harmony took a step forward and blocked her from the front. Her lips opened and she said, “Why did you leave yesterday, Sammy? Didn’t you say you’ll never back down?”

It was rare for Harmony to gain the upper hand against Samantha, so she was extremely proud at that moment and had her head held high.

Samantha looked at her silently.

Harmony’s gaze shifted downward and lingered on her lower abdomen. With her lips still curled, she said, “It seems the heavens are siding with me and Tim. This baby could not have come at a more perfect time.”

Samantha unconsciously clenched her hands as they hung beside her body.

Looks like Timothy did share with Harmony the good news of Samantha’s pregnancy as soon as he could. It should not come as a surprise that Harmony would be so smug…

Harmony took a step forward, turned her face to the side, and nearly pressed her lips to Samantha’s ears as she whispered, “Hey, Sammy. I heard your emotions are a roller-coaster and it’s affecting the baby. You really should take better care of yourself and the child. You need to give birth safely, after all.”

She then said softly to Samantha’s stomach, “Hey there, little one. I’m going to be your mother in the future.”

Harmony raised her eyes and looked at Samantha again. “I’ll treat the child like my own and give them all my motherly love. You don’t have to worry because he or she will be the only child of Tim and me..”
