Chapter 15: You're pregnant?

Edward Harper paused, holding the phone,

"Why did she go to the maternity hospital?"

The person on the other end received instructions from Secretary Johnson earlier to follow the madam secretly, so the president could be informed of her whereabouts.

Liam Johnson, who was in a relationship, understood that his boss was just incredibly stubborn, hiding away because he didn't want a divorce but was too afraid to admit it, asking about the madam's activities at home about eight hundred times a day.

For convenience in reporting, he had someone observe the madam's movements. The person assigned in Capital City saw Clara Knox enter the clinic but knew nothing of the situation inside. Over the phone, hearing that the boss sounded displeased, he answered tentatively,

"Director Harper, do you think the madam might be pregnant?"

Edward didn't speak and hung up, instructing Liam Johnson to purchase a return ticket.
