Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 328: Linsey kept dry heaving, her face growing pale.

"Get the car! We're going to the hospital!" Collin instructed his assistant, his voice edged with urgency.

Linsey rinsed her mouth, still feeling weak. "It's nothing. I probably just haven't been getting enough rest lately."

She had recently become department head and was still adjusting to the overwhelming workload, which had been stressing her out. "No matter what, we're getting you checked. It could be a stomach issue," Collin insisted.

Seeing the determination in his eyes, Linsey couldn't help but laugh softly. She was about to speak when Josh suddenly blurted out, his voice filled with excitement, "Could it be that you're pregnant, Mrs. Riley?" Josh's words left both Linsey and Collin frozen.

Collin's expression shifted, uncertainty flickering across his face.

To be honest, he had never seriously imagined himself as a father.

But now, the idea of a child carrying Linsey's blood-maybe even looking like her-stirred a surprising sense of anticipation.

A child? Their child?

Linsey's eyes widened. "No way, that's impossible, right?"

She and Collin had always been careful.

With so many people around, Linsey felt too embarrassed to voice her thoughts.

Josh, however, was insistent. "Mrs. Riley, it's very possible. When my wife was pregnant, she had morning sickness just like this. You really should take it seriously."

Linsey felt a little dazed. She turned slowly to Collin, who looked equally stunned.

After a brief silence, Linsey murmured, "Let's go to the hospital and get checked. That's the only way to know for sure."

Taking a steadying breath, she started to step forward when Collin suddenly reached out and took her hand.

Linsey turned, locking eyes with Collin's intense stare.

"You're still not well. Stop pushing yourself-sit down and rest," he suggested.

Then, without breaking his gaze, he issued a sharp order to his assistant. "Call Dominic. I don't care what he's doing-tell him to get here now. If he stalls, I'll handle it myself."

"Got it, Mr. Riley." The assistant didn't hesitate, disappearing to carry out the command.

Linsey let out a small laugh, shaking her head. "Collin, you're being dramatic. It's just a stomachache-I'm not about to collapse."

But the unwavering seriousness in his eyes stole any fight she had left. With a quiet sigh, she sank onto the sofa, doing as he asked.

Neither of them went back to the dining table. The unexpected revelation had stolen their appetites, leaving behind only a heavy mix of anticipation and unease.

As they waited for Dominic's arrival, Linsey's thoughts drifted to a possibility she hadn't dared consider before-she might be carrying Collin's child. A gentle warmth spread through her chest at the thought.

Without realizing it, she lowered her gaze, resting a hand on her stomach.
