Next One Is a Babe

They didn’t have much luggage, so they disembarked from the plane right away. When they went to the airport terminal to retrieve their luggage, Lola instantly caught sight of Mr. and Mrs. Hunt at the exit. All at once, tears streamed down her face. Logan came over after retrieving their luggage and walked out with an arm wrapped around her shoulder.

Mr. and Mrs. Hunt knew that they were coming back today, but they weren’t aware of the specifics. Thus, Mr. Hunt immediately panicked when he saw Lola crying now. He fixed his gaze on Logan. “What happened?”

Logan beamed. “It’s good news, so don’t worry.”

Mrs. Hunt rushed over and stroked Lola’s head. “What good news actually made you cry?”

Lola dashed her tears. “I was just missing home, nothing more. Logan didn’t bully me.”

This wasn’t the place to talk, so they all left the airport terminal and went to the parking lot. Logan then turned and looked at Lola. “How about going back to Jefferson Mansion first? Our family doctor is there.”

After contemplating for a moment, Lola nodded. “Okay.”

Upon hearing that, Mr. and Mrs. Hunt grew a tad anxious. “What’s wrong? Why do you need to see a doctor? Are you not feeling well?”

Lola suddenly didn’t know what to say. She just felt that she’d seem fussy no matter the kind of tone she adopted, so she pursed her lips and said nothing for a long while. Beside her, Logan chuckled. “Let’s all talk about it back at Jefferson Mansion.”

At this, Lola nodded. “Let’s talk back at Jefferson Mansion.”

Mr. and Mrs. Hunt’s brows knitted together without easing throughout the entire drive. Traffic was smooth, and they arrived home without having to stop at a single red light.

Meanwhile, Old Mr. Jefferson was sitting in the living room with all four young ladies of the Jefferson Family. Old Mr. Jefferson wore a long face, while the four ladies had elation written all over their faces.

When Logan walked in with Lola hand in hand, Lynett immediately rushed over. “Quick, come over and have a seat, Lola. You must have suffered much on the way back. Is there anything you wish to eat? Tell me now, and I’ll have the kitchens prepare it.”

Lorraine, on the other hand, lifted a hand and had a servant summon the family doctor. At this, Old Mr. Jefferson frowned. “Why are you summoning the doctor? What utterly reprehensible thing has this brat done that it’ll even enrage me to the point of suffering an attack?”

Lorraine burst into laughter. “It won’t enrage you to the point of suffering an attack. I didn’t summon the doctor for you, but there’s also a possibility that you’ll pass out from exhilaration.”

The moment Mr. and Mrs. Hunt heard this, they could somewhat guess the crux of the issue. Mrs. Hunt promptly helped Lola to the sofa. “What’s wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?”

Lola placed a hand over her stomach, her expression slightly conflicted. “I’m not all that certain yet.”

Mrs. Hunt’s gaze fell on her hand, only realizing after an eternity had passed that she should be wearing a smile on her face. “Did you take a test?”
