CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Linda nodded slightly, and the helper went to ladle some soup, treating her with the same gentle care as one might a child. When the helper left, Linda seemed a little reluctant to see her go. Jamie reassured her, "Don't worry, she'll be back in a couple of days."

Linda continued eating, her focus unwavering. It was hard to tell if she truly understood Jamie's reassurances or not.

Jamie glanced at Linda. "I'll just get the door," she said softly before heading toward it.

As she opened the door, she froze, completely taken aback by the unexpected sight before her.

Jamie looked up at Mrs. Lucas, who gave her a soft smile. "Charlie really wanted to see you. He's been so distracted at our house, so I thought I'd bring him back for a little while."
