Chapter 55 A Wild Gamble

Chapter 55 A Wild Gamble

An hour had passed since breakfast.

Imogen estimated that Henry must have woken up by now, so she and Troy went back to Henry’s ward.

There were now two more people in the room. They were Troy’s aunts, Judith and Maria.

In the corner, there were boxes of gifts, indicating that someone had come to visit Henry. “Hey, Troy and Imogen are here.”

“Judith, Maria.” Imogen and Troy greeted them.

It seemed that Henry was still asleep.

“Go sit by Grandma,” Try told Imogen.

There was a coffee table and a couple of chairs in between. Worried that Imogen might not see- clearly, Troy guided her to the sofa beside Layla and sat down.

“Such a loving couple,” Judith teased, seeing them together.

Judith had seen the news about Troy and Sarah.

However, she didn’t take it to heart. She believed that most men were the same. Regardless of how much they messed around outside, they always had to focus on their family.

“That’s for sure. Troy and Imogen are the most compatible couple I’ve seen,” Maria added with a

flattering smile.

She had a slightly more distant relationship with the Marshall family, relying on any little business that trickled down from the Marshalls to make a living. Upon learning that Henry was in the hospital, she immediately came to express her concern in front of the Marshall family. Troy smiled faintly, chatting with Maria. “How’s my uncle doing lately? I heard he recently acquired a small factory…”

Maria was visibly pleased that Troy was not annoyed and even took the initiative to engage with her. She quickly responded, “Yes, he’s trying to expand into the luggage business…”

Troy exchanged a few more words, and Maria’s happiness was evident.

The conversation eventually took a turn.

Maria’s gaze shifted to Imogen and Troy. “Troy is almost thirty now, and Imogen isn’t young either. When are you guys planning to have a child?”

After her remark, both Judith and Layla turned their attention to Imogen and Troy.

“Exactly, you two should have a child by now. Imogen is at the right age, so she could recover pretty soon after giving birth,” Judith agreed,

Imogen and Troy exchanged a glance

Imogen instinctively placed her hand on her lower abdomen.

She already had a child, but she didn’t dare let the child’s father know,

Troy smiled and said calmly, “We don’t have plans for a child at the moment.”

Imogen’s fingers tightened slightly, but her face remained composed as she nodded in agreement.

“I understand. You young people want to enjoy each other’s company for a while.”

Layla muttered, “I’ve reminded them a few times. Every time, they just brush it off. I want them to
