Chapter 716 An Accident

Ever since Megan's last miscarriage, she basically didn't hope to get pregnant ever again. After all, the doctor told her it would be difficult for her to get pregnant since she had miscarried twice. Therefore, she had been mentally prepared before marrying Jimmy, knowing he already had a son, so she wouldn't have to struggle living up to the Astley Family's expectations.

"It's true, Mrs. Astley. Congratulations!" Megan placed her hand over her stomach, amazed by the fact that there was life inside her womb. Roland's death might have changed her perspective as she began to respect and look forward to the birth of a new life.

"You need to be careful and make sure you have enough rest from now on. After all, you have a history of miscarriage, which shouldn't be taken lightly." The doctor went on to tell Megan the things she had to take note about.

After that, Megan held the test result in her hand, feeling as if everything was just a dream. When she returned home, she saw that Jimmy was back, much to her surprise, although the man didn't even bother to cast an eye on her.

Nonetheless, Megan wasn't really bothered by the man's indifference because she couldn't wait to share the good news with Jimmy. "I'm pregnant, darling."

Jimmy spat out the water from his mouth as he was taking a sip of it. "W-What did you say?" "I said I'm pregnant! Look at your excited face! You're going to be a dad soon!" Megan showed Jimmy the test result.

Upon skimming through the report, Jimmy joyfully exclaimed, "Haha. Thank you so much, God! I'm no spring chicken anymore, yet I'm going to be a father again! Haha! This really calls for a celebration!" At the same time, Megan also shared Jimmy's joy as this was the good news that everyone needed to hear amidst the recent trying times.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" Jimmy rubbed Megan's belly with his palm excitedly like a kid. "It's too soon to tell. Even the doctor couldn't tell much from the ultrasound, so I'll go for a check-up after some time." "I'll go with you. But you need to be careful at the same time. Let's hope we have a girl because I will have a son and a daughter then!" Megan was aware that Jimmy had always been fond of having a daughter. "Well, it could be a boy or a girl, so don't get your hopes up!" "I wouldn't mind either if it's a boy!" Jimmy laughed again in exhilaration. At that moment, Megan began to see hope in her life once again.

Meanwhile, Jason happened to be leaving the airport with his assistant wheeling his luggage behind him. Somehow, he ended up setting foot on this piece of land again. Despite the fact he was born in Yucaria, he was insanely fond of everything in Astoria. Why do I love this country so much? Hmm. Well, I suppose the only way to explain my love for this place is that I'm an Astorian man trapped inside a Yucarian body. Man! I probably love this place even more than my father and grandfather.

"I'll get the car, President Murray. Please wait for me by the roadside because cars are not allowed in here," his assistant uttered.

"Alright. See you later."

"Okay." His assistant proceeded to wheel the luggage with him and took off to collect the car. In the meantime, Jason made his way to the roadside through a small alley as images of Selena's face filled his mind. I wonder how Selena has been doing lately. Anyway, I heard that JNS Corporation is now working with the Fowler Corporation, and they're thriving in the fashion and clothing industry in Astoria. So, perhaps I could talk to Selena about some future business plans.

Soon, Jason's assistant arrived in his car. "President Murray, we should get some rest. After all, you must be tired after a long flight."

"Sounds good."

While his assistant drove on the highway, Jason closed his eyes and took a catnap, feeling tired because he didn't manage to fall asleep on the plane due to the noisy background. Suddenly, a huge truck went out of control and swerved in their direction just as the assistant screamed in horror and tried his best to steer the car aside to avoid it, but to no avail. Bang!

At that moment, it felt as if the time had frozen with the sudden accident. While everything happened in the blink of an eye, every witness present was caught off guard by the unexpected tragedy. Soon, the ambulance sirens could be heard from afar.
