Chapter 9 Divorcee, You’re Pregnant?

“What do you want with me?” Claire wanted to leave, but she was blocked by them. “Don’t… don’t touch me. Let me go.” Before Claire could react, one of them had lifted her and rushed out in a blitz. The others hurriedly followed. All that were present were confused. They had no idea what had just happened. *** Yeich Group. “Young Master Yeich, there’s been news from the hospital.” Simon ignored what was going on in the reception room as he burst in and said. Mason was entertaining an extremely important client and had initially raised his eyebrows in displeasure when Simon burst into the room. However, when he heard what he had to say, he suppressed his emotions. “There’s news?” Simon took a look at the people around him before nodding solemnly. The next second, Mason said coolly, “Mr. Zimmer, I’m very sorry for today. I have some extremely important matters to attend to, I’ll arrange for someone else to speak with you.” As he finished speaking, Simon paid no attention as to whether the person agreed or not before he went forth and pushed Mason away in his wheelchair. When they were in the car, Mason furrowed his eyebrows. “What’s the situation?” “Didn’t Young Master Yeich ask me to pay attention to the happenings of the hospital? One of the men just sent me a message. There’s a woman dressed oddly, with a hat and mask, looking like a thief in broad daylight as she went to the obstetrics and gynecology department unaccompanied by anyone.” Mason’s eyes narrowed dangerously at the news. That should be her! “They’ve already captured the person, she’s at the South Lake mansion now.” *** “What do you want to do? Put me down!” It was a bumpy journey being carried on the man’s shoulders, Claire was so dizzy she was about to vomit. Thankfully, they got into a car later on. However, they soon reached their destination, and Claire was lifted onto his shoulders again. It was another long, bumpy journey before she was set back down. “This is kidnapping. Let me tell you, I’ve got nothing, and don’t you dare think of doing anything to me…” The words at her lips came to a stop as she saw who was in front of her. Claire looked incredulously at the person in front of her. Mason Yeich??!! What was he doing here? Standing behind him, Simon stared at her impassively whilst Mason’s eyes were as dark as the night, a chilling aura emanating from him. Claire glanced at him. Before she hurriedly lowered her head. Thankfully, she had a hat, mask, and sunglasses on. Mason had not recognized her at first glance. Then, what had he captured her for? Could it be that he knew about her pregnancy? And he would not tolerate her any longer? The expression on Claire’s face changed rapidly as the thought occurred to her! Mason was already unhappy about the fact that she had taken Yvonne’s place in getting married to him. If he found out that she was pregnant, he would chase her out of the Yeich family. The thought of that made Claire push everyone away and run away. “Bring her back now!” When Simon noticed, he immediately spoke out. Mason surveyed the petite figure and was reminded of that night one month ago. His gaze darkened slightly as he said in a low voice, “Don’t hurt her.” Simon started before he nodded and went forward to say, “Be careful, don’t hurt her.” Claire was no match for the men in black. They were all Mason’s trained men and were professionals. It took them only a few running steps before they had caught Claire again. Claire was in a death grip. No matter how she turned, twisted, or struggled, it was useless. Mason gazed at her, his gaze bright. Then, he lifted his jaw slightly. Simon immediately understood and pushed him forward in his wheelchair. Seeing him get closer to her bit by bit, Claire’s heart began pounding furiously. It’s over, it’s over, she was going to get caught. Although Mason was wheelchair-bound, he had a tall figure, so he was not much shorter than she was. He could reach her mask just by raising his hand. Claire’s eyes widened and she turned her face away. Mason’s hand followed. Claire’s eyes widened even further as she continued evading him. This game of cat and mouse tickled Mason and he laughed lowly, his voice deep and pleasant to the ears. “Enjoying yourself?” What… was going on? Claire looked at him in disbelief. Was this the same cold, expressionless Mason Yeich from before? Why had his voice and tone become so gentle? While lost in thought, the mask on Claire’s face was yanked off without warning by Mason. “Ah!” Claire cried out in alarm and subconsciously tried to cover her face with her arm, but only realized after trying to move her arms that they were restrained and she could not cover her face at all. There had been softness in Mason’s gaze just seconds before, but the minute he removed her mask and saw her features clearly, the gentleness in his eyes dissipated slowly before being replaced with coldness. A second later, his eyes narrowed dangerously as he asked, “How could it be you?” Claire was stunned. He did not know that it was her? “You’re asking me? Weren’t you the one who sent your men to bring me here?” As he listened to her, a thought seemed to occur to Mason as he narrowed his eyes and stared at her. “What were you doing at the hospital?” Claire’s heart jolted. She had never been good at lying. Her eyelashes quivered as she said, “I caught a cold, so I decided to go to the hospital and seek treatment.” “Oh?” Mason lifted his eyebrows slightly as he laughed coldly. “A visit to the obstetrics and gynecology department? Why don’t you tell me, what illness were you seeking treatment for?” Claire, “...” Oh no. What should she do? Claire bit her lip and thought for a bit before asking suddenly, “Well, what about you? You didn’t even know it was me, so why dispatch your men to capture me and bring me here?” Mason gave a start when he heard what she had said. He did not think it would be so coincidental. The person he was looking for was the woman from a month ago, but who knew that his men would have captured her here, not to mention she was taken from the obstetrics and gynecology department. A glint of gloom flashed across his eyes as he thought of the obstetrics and gynecology department. “Divorcee, are you pregnant?” The straightforward sentence caused Claire’s face to pale. Her lips quivered as she used her large eyes to glare disbelievingly at Mason. “Hah, seems like I’m not wrong.” Mason laughed coldly. “No wonder you were so anxious to take your sister Yvonne’s place to marry into the Yeich family. So you’ve brought a burden along with you and can’t wait for someone to take over?” Simon, who was standing behind Mason, became so angered that his hands clenched into fists. “What kind of person do you take our Young Master Yeich to be? Bringing a child with you as you marry into the Yeich family. No wonder you had to sneak to the obstetrics and gynecology department, but you didn’t expect to run into us there, did you?” Claire was at a loss for words. She had wanted to deal with this quietly, but who would have thought that this gang of men would rush in and capture her to this place. Till now, she had no idea what was going on. This would not work. Claire Schmidt, you have to stay calm. Stay calm! Claire suppressed the fear that was surging in her heart as she raised her head stubbornly to maintain eye contact with Mason. “No one said you have to be pregnant to pay a visit to the obstetrics and gynecology department. You know I’m a divorcee too. Couldn’t it be that I have a gynecological disease and am seeking treatment for it?” She had barely finished speaking before Mason’s long, slender fingers cupped her chin. His cold voice sounded like it was traveling from the depths of hell. “It seems that you refuse to be convinced until you are faced with the consequences.”
