Chapter 815 - Am I Going to Die?

"I'm here."

"You..." Laila hesitated, suddenly realizing she couldn't bring herself to ask.

How should she ask? Should she ask if he really wants their child to be named Moran? Dear heavens, he hasn't even proposed to her yet, they are just boyfriend and girlfriend, is it okay to ask so directly?

Roy was thrown off by her hesitation. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing!" She just couldn't bring herself to say it!

"No, there must be something. What's wrong?" Her sudden change in demeanor made Roy even more suspicious.

Laila chuckled awkwardly. "It's really nothing. You're probably still working, right? Then go ahead, I'll hang up." Without waiting for him to say anything, she hung up the phone.

Her action resulted in Roy rushing back to the mansion in Beverly Hills that night from New York.

Laila woke up from a dream feeling like she was being watched, only to open her eyes and see Roy sitting by her bedside.

"Why are you back?" She looked at the clock on the bedside table, which showed it was 3:12 in the morning.

Why would he rush back at this time, not knowing if he would sleep, but sit by her bed and watch her? Looking at his red eyes, she knew he hadn't slept in a long time. And did he know how terrifying it was to wake up in the middle of the night and see someone sitting by the bed?

"Why? If you hadn't said those inexplicable things, would I rush back?" Roy didn't know how to describe his feelings.

He hadn't planned to come back so soon, because if he finished recording the program and immediately returned, it would be late at night when he arrived here, which might disturb Abe's rest and cause trouble for the others at home.

But after hearing what she said, he couldn't help but start thinking wildly, feeling that she was hiding something from him, perhaps something so serious that she didn't know how to deal with it. So as soon as the program ended, he took the fastest flight back in a hurry.

God knows how complicated his feelings were when he opened her door and saw her sleeping soundly, even making cute snoring sounds. He was curious why he came back at this time!

Laila suddenly remembered the phone call earlier. Although she felt that his rushing back because of a phone call was baseless worry, she couldn't deny that she was touched. Not every man would rush back just because his girlfriend's voice didn't sound right.

"Thank you, I'm fine, you don't need to worry. Go and rest, your eyes are as red as a rabbit's." She poked his under-eye bags, teasing him.

Roy rubbed his face, trying to eliminate some of the fatigue to avoid looking too bad in her eyes. "How can I rest now? You still haven't told me what happened on the phone earlier, why were you so hesitant?"

Laila was embarrassed, she didn't know how to say it. Should she say that their child is really going to be named Moran? If she said that, would she become a woman in his eyes who was eager to get married without even being engaged? Or a woman who thought about having children before marriage?

"It's nothing you should go and freshen up and rest. I have to get up early for work tomorrow." She pretended to yawn and was about to lie back under the covers.

However, the more she said that, the more he wanted to find out the answer. If it were any other time, when she had something she didn't want to say, he would never force her to say it. This time was different, he felt that what she was hiding was definitely related to him.

What could it be?

"Am I going to die?" Remembering the health check-up he had just done a few days ago, it seemed that the report was due.

Laila couldn't pretend to sleep anymore, she stared at him with wide eyes in disbelief. "What are you talking about?"

"Isn't it? You hesitated, and a few days ago I just had a health check-up. Isn't this how it's done on TV and in movies? To keep the patient from losing hope, the condition is kept hidden from them."

Laila really wanted to applaud his imagination. "No, I haven't seen your health report, and I don't know what incurable disease you're talking about!" She was about to swear. But not because of his wild thoughts, but because she didn't even know that her boyfriend had just done a health check-up. Isn't this too irresponsible as a girlfriend? How could he endure having such a girlfriend who doesn't fulfill her duties as a girlfriend?

"It's good that it's not." Roy had just made a random guess. "Then what's the reason? If you don't tell me, I might keep thinking about it. Laila, do you still not trust me? Am I still not worthy of your trust?"

Laila covered her face with her hands. It seemed that she had to say it today, otherwise he would come up with some strange thoughts.

"Well, mainly today I had a phone call with my grandfather, and he said..." Dear God, she really had no face to say it! How did her grandfather bring up this topic to him in the first place?

"What did he say?" Roy asked eagerly.

"He said, he said..." Laila closed her eyes, feeling embarrassed to say it: "He said that in the future if we have a child, it can be named Moran."

"Is that all?"

Roy stared at her, almost burying her head in the cup in embarrassment.

From the tone of his voice, Laila had a feeling of "How can you be so dumb?" This was unforgivable, she had been struggling for a long time!

In the East, although the vast majority of children take their father's surname, there are also examples of taking their mother's surname. She didn't hesitate to bring up this matter because it was inappropriate, but... but they were still just boyfriend and girlfriend, and they hadn't even planned for the future, let alone children. If her grandfather had said that, wouldn't it mean that she was desperate to get married?

That was something she absolutely couldn't accept! She really! Really! Didn't want to get married yet, and really! Really! Didn't want to have children so soon! She was a woman of the new century, she couldn't be bound by family and children, she had to create her own career!
