True Love Waits

Chapter 1442 Preparing For Pregnancy

Erica felt like crying when she looked at the number on weighing scale and then at Matthew's eight

pack abs. "Matthew, we agreed to eat together to gain weight. What's your secret? How is it that you've

lost weight?" 'But I've gained five kilograms more!' she thought sadly.

The man's face remained unchanged. "There is no secret. I just make sure to exercise every morning

and go to the gym regularly. I have never done anything else to lose weight."

Erica was speechless. The secret to keeping a healthy and fit body was to exercise a little bit in the

morning and to maintain a regular gym life.

Forcing the words through gritted teeth, Erica said, "Just wait. I'll do morning exercises with you every

day from now on. I'll be as lean as I was before!"

Matthew held her in his arms and comforted her, "Well, honey, you don't look that fat. You've just

gained a little weight. Besides, it's easier to hold you now."

Erica wasn't going to fall for his sweet words!

What if he was just trying to make her fat and ugly because he wanted to have a beautiful girl on the

side?

Erica was determined—the excess weight had to go, by hook or by crook.

After breakfast, Erica dropped her sons off to the kindergarten and her husband to the company, before

heading to the hospital.

After a thorough examination in the gynecology and obstetrics department, the doctor finally told her,

"Your body is fit to have a baby now. You can eat some folic acid supplements when you go back

home. Try not to stay up late..."

Erica responded to the doctor's suggestions with a respectful smile. "Thank you, doctor."

"You're welcome. Besides, you were pregnant with quadruplets before. You must be careful this time.

You should stay in bed and get as much rest as you can get, just in case if you get pregnant with more

than one baby again."

Erica replied, "I understand. I don't think I will be pregnant with multiple babies again, but thank you for

your concern." She would strangle Matthew to death if she were pregnant with a set of twins or more.

After the doctor's appointment, Erica left the hospital in a good mood. When she came across a big

pharmacy just across the street, Erica wondered if she should pick up some folic acid supplements.

When she walked past the traffic light intersection, she unsuspectingly glanced at a car with the

window half open, revealing the face of Michel.

The moment her eyes caught sight of him, the smile on her face transformed into a frown and she

quickly hid herself before he could notice her. She turned around, waiting for his car to pass by before

she hailed a taxi and got in without saying anything.

Since Erica wasn't able to deliver Michel's retribution yet, she decided to set her pregnancy aside until

she had exacted revenge on him.

After all, many more people would suffer if she didn't first deal with Michel, the biggest drug dealer in

the city.

As she was curious to see where he was going, Erica asked the taxi driver to follow Michel's car.

More than twenty minutes later, in order not to arouse the suspicion of Michel's driver, Erica paid the

taxi driver quickly when they stopped at the red light, and then got in another taxi to continue the

pursuit.

Michel's car finally drove to a suburb in the north district of Y City. Erica had already known of the

existence of Parasol Resort. For the third time, Erica got out of the taxi and changed the car

This time, however, she found a common private car instead of a taxi.

Without any hesitation, she opened the door of the back seat and sat in. In response to the driver's

confused eyes, Erica took out her mobile phone and said to him, "I'm wiring you five thousand dollars.

Please follow the Mercedes in front!"

The driver was utterly stunned as he looked at a Mercedes Benz in front of him and then at Erica's

face. "Why do I feel like I've seen you somewhere?"

The Mercedes Benz was already driving off, doubling Erica's fear. "Hurry, I don't have time to lose. Ten

thousand dollars, last offer! Show me your QR code. I'll transfer the money to you right now!"

As such, when he heard that he could get ten thousand dollars, he stepped on the accelerator and

followed the Mercedes Benz.

Erica transferred ten thousand dollars to the man's account and then urged him, "Please drive slowly.

Don't let them notice you!"

Michel's final destination was indeed the Parasol Resort. When he got out of the car, he almost found

that Erica was in the car behind him. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Luckily, she ducked quickly and hid in the back seat of the car, before she told the driver, "Get out of

the car and ask the security guards at the gate if you can go in. If you can, then tell them you want to

have a get-together with some friends in there. I'll give you more money."

The driver got out of the car with his phone, but before he could even get close to the main entrance of

the Parasol Resort, two bodyguards came over. "What are you doing?"

The driver hid the nervousness inside his heart behind a fake smile and did as Erica had asked him.

One of the bodyguards waved his hand to him and said, "This is a private manor. No outsiders are

welcome. Please leave now!"

The other bodyguard tried to look inside the car. At this point, Erica was almost glued to the floor of the

car, fearing that the bodyguard would see her.

The driver quickly ran back to his car, turned around in a jiffy and left without hesitating for even a

minute.

On the way back, Erica met with her own driver and bodyguards. However, she wasn't ready to go

back home just yet. Her next stop was the camera store where she bought a drone.

She returned to Parasol Resort with the drone, but this time she found a higher ground within the

vicinity, with a relatively flat surface to fly the drone.

Erica paid extra money and bought a relatively quiet drone to avoid being detected.

The entire resort encompassed a large area, but the tallest building was only two-story high and there

were a few bodyguards patrolling the yard.

Erica kept the drone as high as possible and she only ever lowered it when she was absolutely certain

that there were no guards walking back and forth.

After carefully observing the place for more than ten minutes, Erica finally found something amiss on

one of the two-story buildings.

There were five or six people sitting in a pavilion on the second floor. If she didn't see it wrong, the

person on the host seat was none other than Michel.

There was another suspicious man that seemed familiar to Erica, but she wasn't certain as she couldn't

see his face clearly. She had never seen them before, but they didn't look like ordinary people to her.

With the press of a button, Erica recorded everything.

Unfortunately, as soon as she clicked the automatic return button, one of the bodyguards was quick to

notice the drone. Immediately, a group of reinforcements gathered around and pointed their guns at the

drone in the sky.

Frightened, Erica quickly downloaded the video she had just recorded into her mobile phone and then

ran away with the remote control. In fact, she didn't really have a need for the drone anymore.

By the time the security guards came to Erica's location, she was already long gone.

In the Parasol Resort, Michel stared at the drone in his hand and asked someone to pull out the

memory card and connect it to the computer.

Unfortunately, there was nothing on it.

"Go and find the owner of this drone," he ordered calmly. The drone was brand new and relatively

expensive. Only a handful of people in the city could afford such a drone. As such, it wouldn't be

difficult to find the owner.

Michel's subordinates took the drone and left to fulfill their boss's command.

They had already found a scapegoat to pin the death of Noreen on. This man was a nobody, who

claimed that he had killed her because he was too envious of her fame, even though he didn't have any

connections with Noreen prior to the incident.

This was the explanation provided for the public, but Matthew didn't believe a word of it.

The discovery of the drone led Michel to believe that the Parasol Resort was no longer the safe haven

he thought it was.

Three of Michel's bodyguards took the drone and drove towards downtown. However, when they

reached a corner halfway, they were intercepted by a woman.

The woman was a pitiful sight to see, face covered in grime and clothes barely hanging on to her

shoulders. She limped to the driver's window and asked, "Sir, I haven't eaten for three days. Can you

spare some money for a meal?"

The three men in the car were annoyed by the woman and the driver pushed her hand away. "Go

away!"
