"What about Miss Su's prenatal check-up tomorrow?" Paige asked.

Matthew frowned. Why was another prenatal check-up scheduled so soon? "Since I have another engagement, you need to accompany her. My instructions apply to all future prenatal examinations as well." Paige nodded as she replied, "Yes, Mr. Huo." She thought, 'Mr. Huo is conscientious and always puts his work first. Why did he cancel his meetings for tomorrow? What's happening?'

"Don't call me for anything. If you need something, contact the general manager," he added.

Although puzzled by the situation, Paige had to suppress her curiosity. "Yes, Mr. Huo."

One of the bodyguards immediately answered, "Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo is inside. She hasn't stepped out since she returned tonight."

"Good." Matthew nodded with satisfaction.

After entering the villa, he made his way to the bedroom on the third floor.

Oddly enough, there was a piece of white paper stuck to the heavy wooden door. Matthew's brow furrowed as he read the note, "Please look at the bed."
