Waiting For a Girl Like You

Terence peeled a fresh orange and handed a slice to Carla. The oranges were all extremely juicy as they'd directly been delivered from a farm, as was usual the case. Terence made sure they always ate the freshest of foods. If they couldn't live in the countryside, they could at least manage to eat well.

Carla put the entire slice in her mouth, looking at Terence gratefully. But her expression soon turned to a wince.

"It hurts," she says with a broken voice.

Her words made Terence get up in an instant. He reached for a tissue and wiped his hands, then held her shoulders, bending down.

"What's wrong, honey? What's hurting? Where does it hurt? Didn't you tell the doctor? Should I call her back to check on you?"

His concern warmed Carla's heart. Not a day went by that she didn't thank god for having him. Before he could pull himself back and go call the doctor, she held his wrist. He turned and looked at her with surprise. "What I meant was, it hurts to give birth and I'm scared of the pain. What should I do?"

She'd heard of many women who did not want to give birth to a second child because of the pain they had to go through during the delivery.

It was true that everyone had different levels of tolerance of pain, but she was really, really scared of pain. She couldn't even imagine what it would be like this time, having already been through it once.

Nathan reported almost urgently. The best thing about him was he knew exactly which matter was important to convey at what time.

Terence sat down in his chair and put his hand on his mouth, snorting. "I knew it wouldn't be easy. Gary would never let go of such an opportunity just to deal with me.

Oh, by the way, I asked you to check on Henry's background. How is that going?"

Nathan lowered his head and answered, "We found that he started to work for the Qu family five years ago. The only reason his career has soared is because of their support."

"The Qu family? Which one is that?"

It was the first time Terence was hearing this name. He was surprised he wasn't already aware of them. He needed to know as much about Henry as possible. What could be the reason for it when Terence didn't even know them?

"The Qu family is a powerful family in the northwest region. They are acquainted with many influential figures of the city. Two members of the family work in the government. The elder son wanted to run for mayor, but failed."
