Chapter 229

The elevator door opened at the same time as Ian hung up his call. Ian looked at Hendrix and said,

"Hendrix, I'm serious. You have to take her to Mesville."

After that, he left in a hurry.

I got into the car with Hendrix, and soon, he ignited the car engine. I looked at him several times. I

wished to ask him how he knew, but I was terrified that I would expose the truth myself.

Therefore, I fell into silence.novelbin

At the intersection of the traffic light, Ian stopped the car as the light turned red. He looked at me from

the corner of his eyes, and his voice was low and magnetic as he said, "It's too much to go to Mesville.

Both you and the child won't stand it. We're going to Jarold City two days later, and I have already

contacted the doctor."

I was stunned. After a moment of hesitation, I parted my lips to ask, "When-"

"The doctor told me during the last prenatal checkup. Besides, I noticed it when you went to soak

yourself in the rain."

He accelerated the car. Sighing slightly, Hendrix continued, "It's okay if you don't want to tell me.

Everything will get better."

I nodded my head, feeling a little exhausted. "Since we're paying our respects to Grandpa tomorrow

morning, come with me to the yoga center in the afternoon. The instructor requested that the father-to-

be come along and practice together. Some moves need extra care and protection."

He nodded, "What would you like to eat for dinner?"

"Anything is fine with me," When I finished, I was really sleepy. So, I closed my eyes and prepared to

take a short nap.

It was already dark when we reached the villa. I was still a little dozy, so Hendrix didn't wake me up.

Instead, he carried me back to the bedroom and put me on the bed.

Probably because of the exercise earlier that day, I slept very deeply that night. When I woke up, it was

already midnight.

Noticing that Hendrix wasn't around, I got out of bed and went out of the bedroom. I saw that the lights

in the study room were on. So, I went forth to knock on the door.

A deep voice came from inside, "Come in!"

I pushed the door open and saw him reading the documents on his desk. Walking up to him, I saw the

company's backend system was on the computer. I glanced at it and noticed that some data wasn't

right. "Hasn't Alford Audit redone it? Why is it still the original data?" I asked curiously.

He peeked at me, and a smile appeared on his weary face. "It seems that you didn't waste your time in

Roberts Group. You're quick to identify the problem."

I didn't say anything. The two-year there were more than enough for me to learn a lot.

Hendrix didn't explain anything to me. He just lowered his head and signed on a few documents. I have

nothing to do, so I sat next to him and looked at the computer unconcernedly.

But as I looked at it, I felt that there was something strange going on. Then, I saw the red exclamation

mark in the lower right corner of the computer. I couldn't help but exclaim, "Hendrix! A hacker has

intruded into the backend system of the company."

He wasn't in a hurry to look at the computer. Instead, he stared at me with surprise. He frowned and

asked, "You studied computer science before?"

I was caught off guard and looked at the monitor again. The red exclamation mark was still there.

Hendrix seemed to have the intention to let others see these things.

I finally came to my senses. He put such problematic data in the backend system of the company on

purpose. He wanted to show it to the people who wished to see it.

"Um... No. I only took a computer class in college, and I barely scraped the surface!" I felt a little

abashed when I said this.

Aaron's computer skills were excellent. He used to study ways to invade into someone else's bank

account, and he simply told me a few things. I didn't learn much at that time, but still, I understood the

simpler things.

The corner of his lips lifted, and he replied in a seemingly indifferent manner, "It's impossible to detect

an intruder just by taking a few computer lessons."

I opened my mouth and wanted to explain something, but he had already put down the document in his

hands. He glanced at me and asked, "Are you hungry?"

I took the chance and nodded, "A little."

"What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you," With that, he got up and turned off the computer.
