Chapter 226 New Plan
JU PORT
Caroline decided that no matter what, it was best for her to make a trip to the hospital to find out what was going on.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Helen was already awake. She had regained consciousness shortly after being admitted.
Propped up in her hospital bed, Helen looked around the room and asked, “Mom, why am I in the hospital?”
Helen remembered arguing with the doctor at the restaurant, so she was confused about how she had ended up in the hospital.
“You fainted at the restaurant. You almost scared me to death!” Alaina held onto Helen’s hand, her eyes full of worry. “How do you feel now? Any discomfort?”
Helen shook her head. “I’m fine.”
When Helen had fallen to the ground earlier, she had meant to pretend to faint to scare the doctor. However, all of a sudden, everything seemed to fade and she had indeed lost consciousness.
Helen was surprised that she had really passed out.
Helen asked Alaina, “Mom, did the doctor explain what caused me to faint?”
“They’ve run a few tests since we came but the results aren’t out yet. We’ll know once they’re out,” Alania responded, just as anxious as Helen.
Helen was still young and still had to marry a wealthy man to live a good and comfortable life. She could not afford to have some sort of illness now.
By the time the test results were out, Caroline had arrived at the hospital.
Caroline enquired with the nurse at the front desk and found her way to Helen’s room.
Just as she was about to knock, a doctor came out of the room.
Caroline stepped back to let the doctor pass. As she was about to enter the room, Alaina’s excited voice came from inside.
“Helen, this is wonderful news, you’re pregnant!”
Hearing this, Caroline decided not to go in and disturb them. Instead, she stayed by the doo
tening.
Almost immediately, Edwin’s voice spoke, “Since you’re pregnant with a child from the Graysons, we should talk to them and you should get married as soon as possible.”
However, Helen did not look happy. “What a bad time to be pregnant.”
Alaina’s smile froze before she spoke again, “This is a child from the Graysons! It’s a golden goose! With this child, you’ll have no problem marrying into the family. What do you mean it’s a bad time?”
Alaina had worked so hard to get Helen pregnant. She had worried a lot and came up with all kinds of ideas. She was confused as to why Helen wasn’t happy now that she was pregnant.
Chapter 226 New Plan
+8 Pearls Helen pressed her lips together and said, “Weren’t you both unhappy that Linden wouldn’t be able to lead the family? You wanted me to think of a way to marry the CEO of Sherwood Group.
Lately, Helen had been thinking of all kinds of ways that she could meet him. She didn’t want to give it all up just because she was pregnant.
If only this child had come a bit later! If I became pregnant after getting on the CEO’s good side, I would be able to pass the baby off as his.
However, Helen had not even met him yet, so she had no time for that.
Alaina fell silent for a moment before she sighed, “Of course, it would be ideal for you to marry a Sherwood. But you’re now pregnant with the Graysons‘ child, so you’ll have to give up on that. Although the Graysons are nowhere near the Sherwoods, they’re still one of the top families in Kingville. Stop worrying and just focus on marrying into the Graysons.”
Alaina was overjoyed that Helen was pregnant. However, hearing Helen mention the Sherwoods, she couldn’t help a small feeling of disappointment.
Of course, Alaina would want Helen to marry into the top family in Kingville. However, it was too difficult. Besides, with Caroline in the way, the chances of success were slim.
Now that Helen was pregnant with a Gryason child, it was almost certain she could marry Linden.
Even if Teresa didn’t like Helen, she had no choice but to accept her.
“Your mom is right. Since you’re pregnant with their child now, it is meant to be. Don’t think about anything else. As for Linden … ” Edwin paused, his eyes narrowing slightly. He hesitated before continuing, “You’re smart. Once you marry into the Graysons, with your abilities, it shouldn’t be hard for you to take
over.”
Helen lowered her head and bit her lip. “Do you really think I can?”
Her voice was soft and it sounded like she was distracted.
If this had happened when she had feelings for Linden, Helen would have been overjoyed.
She would also have been confident in taking over the Graysons.
However, Helen was now determined to marry the Sherwoods. She had even been looking into their family recently.
Helen had discovered that the Sherwoods were far wealthier and powerful than she had imagined They were on a whole different level compared to the Graysons.
She had even dreamed of becoming a part of the Sherwoods.
Helen was unwilling to let this go.
Edwin had no idea what Helen was really thinking. He merely thought she was feeling insecure about everything. Patting her shoulder, he smiled and comforted her, “You’re a smart girl and you’re pregnant with their baby. The Graysons will give you anything you ask for. Once you’re married to Linden, you just need to think of a way to find out how much assets the Graysons have so that we can take control of it.”
