Chapter 348
Only the elderly woman who had just talked to him looked at Liam strangely.
Liam naturally noticed it too. And thinking that he might be blocking her view, he moved his feet slightly to the side.
But then the enthusiastic elderly woman couldn’t help but speak up, “Young man, you seem like a good person, why did you find such an assistant?”
Liam was confused and felt strange.
Seeing his puzzled face, the elderly woman said mysteriously, “You weren’t here just now. Your assistant was anxiously walking around outside. Who would be that anxious waiting for someone else’s wife to see a doctor, as if he were an ant on a hot pot? Your wife is so beautiful, why would you find such a young assistant to take care of her? Isn’t that like inviting a wolf into your home?”
Liam reluctantly said, “He’s been with me for many years.”
The elderly woman clapped her hands and said, “Isn’t that even scarier? After so many years, even a pet would develop feelings!”
The elderly woman went on and on about her observations of the “suspicious points,” talking with great enthusiasm until it was her turn to see the doctor.
She didn’t forget to remind Liam before leaving. “Young man, you have to be more careful. Don’t end up losing both your wife and your wealth in the end.”
When Owen returned with the water, he saw Liam staring at him with a frown.
Feeling nervous, he quickly put on a smile, “Mr. Reed, has Mrs. Reed not returned yet?”
“No.”
Liam’s voice seemed a bit cold.
Owen cautiously asked, “Mr. Reed, would you like some water? Cold, hot, and even drinks are available. Which one do you want?”
“Why did you buy so many for just a few people?”
“Mrs. Reed is a girl, she’s a bit picky, so I bought a few more.”
Liam stared at him for a second, then suddenly said, “You’re quite attentive.”
Owen, “…”
This was definitely not a compliment, because Liam’s tone was too strange, and his eyes were weird, even a bit angry.
Owen was good at introspection, but at this moment, he racked his brains and couldn’t figure out where he had messed up to make Mr. Reed so aggressive.
So, when Celeste and Trisha came back, they saw Owen holding a bottle of water and standing awkwardly in front of Liam.
“What are you two doing blocking the door of the consulting room?”
Celeste pulled Liam aside, “You’re blocking people’s way.”
Seeing Celeste, Owen felt like he had seen a savior. He quickly grabbed two bottles of water, “Celeste, Ms. Colton, would you like some water?” Celeste took one and said to Trisha, “You go in, I’ll wait outside.”
Trisha walked a few steps, then turned back to take a bottle of water from Owen, squinting her eyes and shaking it at him, “Thanks!” Celeste opened the water and asked Liam symbolically, “Want some water?”
Liam just hummed in response.
Celeste hesitated for a moment, then handed over the bottle she had opened to him and opened another one for herself.
These days, Celeste was always coming and going, and the two of them hardly had any time together.
When he got up, she was resting; when he was resting, she was filming. On the rare occasions when he wasn’t busy, he would wait for her to come home at night, but she would go straight to bed after washing up.
She didn’t communicate with him at all.
He really didn’t like the way their relationship was going.
Liam had been preparing for a long time before saying, “In a bit…”
But before he could finish, Trisha came out of the doctor’s office.
Celeste immediately went up to her, and Liam swallowed his words.
“What’s wrong? What did Dr. Ledford say?” Trisha’s expression was terrible when she came out, and Celeste was a bit puzzled. Just now, when they were having the ultrasound, the doctor said that there was no big issue. Why did Trisha look like this after going around the clinic?
