The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan!-Chapter 428: Admitting One’s Mistake

The laboratory is still exploring other applications of solar energy, such as developing solar energy for cars.

Once solar energy for cars is available, it can alleviate global oil shortages and reduce environmental pressure.

However, due to the current level of technology and material issues, research is somewhat challenging, and substitute materials are hard to find, so this research is expected to take a long time.

But Paige is not afraid; she enjoys the process of overcoming various limitations and ultimately achieving success.

Two days after leaving the laboratory, Paige suddenly felt dizzy, and her body swayed.

The assistant beside her supported her, "Professor Sterling, are you okay?"

Paige shook her head, "I’m fine."

However, just after she finished speaking, she collapsed headfirst.

The assistant shouted anxiously, "Professor Sterling, Professor Sterling!"

Paige has always been in good health. In the past, staying up late never resulted in such situations. Now that Julian is watching over her, her diet and routine are very regular, and her physical condition is much better than most people. Suddenly fainting like this shocked everyone.

A few soldiers responsible for protecting Paige immediately rushed in and took her to the military hospital for a check-up.

When Paige woke up, she still felt a bit unwell, but she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

Seeing a young nurse nearby, she asked, "What’s wrong with me?"

The young nurse’s eyes lit up when she saw Paige awake, but Paige’s question clearly stumped her. She looked troubled, not knowing how to respond.

Seeing her like this, Paige knew there must be something wrong with her body.

She often checked her health, and there couldn’t be any major issues unless...

Paige looked at her stomach and asked the young nurse, "Am I pregnant?"

She and Julian had never used contraception, so it wouldn’t be surprising if she were pregnant.

The young nurse didn’t expect Paige to guess it and nodded, "Professor Sterling, you are almost two months pregnant."

Paige was a bit surprised, touching her stomach. She had been pregnant for two months without realizing it? Her work intensity hadn’t changed from before.

Given her physical condition, a two-month pregnancy shouldn’t pose any problems.

She calmed down and asked, "Is there something wrong with my baby?"

The young nurse seemed distressed, almost about to cry.

Someone who didn’t know might think something terrible had happened to her.

Paige rubbed her temples, "I’m ready, you can tell me."

The young nurse then said, "Professor Sterling, the doctor said it’s... an ectopic pregnancy, very dangerous, and you must have surgery as soon as possible..."

Paige’s expression froze. She actually wanted a child very much—a child with Julian.

When a woman loves a man, she wants to have children with him. Paige was no exception.

But now, she had just learned she was pregnant, hadn’t had time to accept the joy, and was about to lose the child.

Paige was lost in her thoughts and didn’t speak. The young nurse, worried about her reaction, kept watching her.

After a while, she saw Paige closed her eyes and said, "I understand, arrange the surgery as soon as possible."

The young nurse said, "Professor Sterling, we tried to contact your husband just now but couldn’t reach him..."

Which means Julian doesn’t know yet.

Julian was very eager for a child. Paige heard him mention it more than once, even though she thought Julian’s desire for a child was somewhat insidious, she didn’t mind.

Now that there was a child, they couldn’t keep it.

And she needed surgery. Julian would undoubtedly feel bad once he knew.

Paige didn’t intend to hide it from Julian, but her feelings were still complicated, so she couldn’t accept this matter immediately. She decided to leave contacting Julian for later and closed her eyes to take a nap.

Paige felt much better in the afternoon and went home first.

Julian hadn’t returned, and Paige then thought of turning on her phone.

Sure enough, there was a message from Julian saying he was still at the Hawthorne Family home.

Mrs. Hawthorne had been having frequent suicidal episodes recently, and Simon was truly frightened, pleading with Julian to stay and watch over Mrs. Hawthorne.

Even if Julian didn’t care much about this mother, there was still a blood tie. If something happened to Mrs. Hawthorne, the public’s gossip would make it hard for Julian to lift his head.

Julian didn’t care about these things, but Old Master Hawthorne did.

Old Master Hawthorne also asked Julian first to calm Mrs. Hawthorne down. But for some reason, after Julian stayed to appease Mrs. Hawthorne, she became more and more afraid of him.

To hell with the mother-son relationship!

Mrs. Hawthorne now felt her son was simply a devil!

A devil who wanted to kill his mother in a moment of desperation!

She now wished Julian would leave quickly! Stop hanging around her.

But since Paige was in the laboratory, Julian was alone even if he returned, so he stayed, spending all day around Mrs. Hawthorne, nearly driving her genuinely mad.

She gritted her teeth at Julian, "Isn’t your company busy? Can’t you go out to work? You’re so old, yet you loiter at home every day doing nothing."

"Don’t you need my care? Don’t you feel uneasy if you don’t see me?"

Julian’s expression was indifferent.

Mrs. Hawthorne said nothing.

Simon also felt a bit speechless, thinking their mother was a bit excessive.

When Julian was absent, she would do anything to get him to come over.

Now that Julian was here, she accused him of loitering.

Their mother was really unwell, and their brother had a tough time.

Simon pitied his brother and said to Julian, "Brother, why don’t you go to work? I’ll stay and take care of mom."

Mrs. Hawthorne nodded frantically, just hoping Julian would leave soon.

But Julian’s expression remained indifferent, "I’m staying at home to take care of Ms. Upton."

Mrs. Hawthorne gritted her teeth, "Julian, I know I was wrong. You’re a good son; you will forgive your mother, right?"

Julian, "Of course."

"Then go to work. I don’t need your care."

"No, I think it’s better for me to stay at home and take care of you. A son’s care is more attentive than a daughter-in-law’s, don’t you agree?"

Mrs. Hawthorne, "Are you still resenting me? Will you only be satisfied if I die?"

Even with Mrs. Hawthorne talking about death, Julian’s expression remained unchanged, still indifferent.

"I don’t resent you, and you don’t need to use death to threaten me." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Do you think I really don’t dare to die? Do you insist on forcing your mother to death to be satisfied?"

Julian looked at Mrs. Hawthorne, "If you truly want to die, you don’t need to tell me. I’ll take care of the arrangements for you afterward."

Mrs. Hawthorne, "I am your mother!"

He really wants her dead!

Julian replied with a laugh. Now, when he uses these two words to mock others, his expression is identical to Paige’s.

On the other side, Paige thought about calling Julian at this time. If Mrs. Hawthorne was nearby, it wouldn’t be appropriate to talk about her needing surgery.

So Paige decided to go directly to Julian the next morning and have the surgery in the afternoon.

Julian still didn’t know Paige had left the laboratory, so he continued to stay at the Hawthorne Family home.
