Chapter 1625 - Scout auction (1/2)

With so many things, he naturally wouldn’t notice some details. At the end of April, Sophie suddenly came to Li Du and said, “My period is late.”

Li Du’s father immediately understood what it means. He hurriedly said, “God! I’ll take you to the hospital to have a check-up.”

Sophie handed him a small piece of cardboard and smiled brightly. “We don’t need to go to the hospital. I can check it myself. Don’t forget I am a doctor.”

Looking at the two red lines, Li Du felt a little dizzy. “Are you… are you pregnant?”

Sophie smiled even more brightly. “Everything sure points to this conclusion.”

Li Du didn’t know what to say for a moment but hugged Sophie, who was smiling brightly. He felt very happy.

He forgot all about the diamond mine, the emerald mine, the opal mine, and the interest disputes. At this moment, it all seemed unimportant!

He called Big Ivan immediately. “Pack up to go back to Los Angeles.”

Big Ivan said, “Okay, boss, what time?”

“As soon as possible, we have to go back soon.”

Li Du also began to hurry to pack things up, and Sophie came to help. Both of them packed a few suitcases and distributed them to the little ones, who dragged the luggage in their mouths and went out of the door quickly.

He told his parents, “We’re going back to Los Angeles.”

Li Du’s father was watching TV on the sofa, laughing at a comedy. When he heard what Li Du said, he was puzzled. “Why do we have to go back so suddenly? You didn’t even tell us anything in advance.”

Li Du’s mother said, “We will not be going to Los Angeles. We will head straight home. We are about to move to a new place…”

“Sophie is pregnant,” said Li Du simply.

Li Duʼs father immediately stood up, “Hurry up, this island is beautiful, but it is too damn moist, and it will be winter soon, right? Letʼs leave quickly, Sophie has to go somewhere warm and dry now!”

Li Duʼs mother said, “There is nothing to pack. What can I pack except for the clothes I have been drying? Where is the plane? Letʼs get on the plane and head straight back. Have we booked the hospital yet? Is Sophie feeling nauseous now?”

Everything was unplanned, but since there were so many helping hands, things would be easy to handle. The helicopter was quickly filled with luggage, and the group got on board. With Big Ivan as the pilot, the helicopter flew into the air.

Audrey was in charge of the mining on the island, while Su Nan was in charge of the tourism promotion. Li Du had nothing to do even if he stayed there.

The helicopter flew to Melbourne, where a chartered plane booked by JPMorgan arrived the same day. After refueling, the plane shot into the air, this time targeting Los Angeles.

Li Du’s father pondered, “Are we going to Los Angeles? Is the baby going to be a United States citizen this way? I donʼt think it is a good idea. Why donʼt we go back to our hometown?”

Li Duʼs mother countered, “Los Angeles is one of the largest cities in the world, and it sure has top quality hospitals. We would not want to put Sophie in jeopardy. Besides, when Sophie goes to our hometown, she doesnʼt even see anyone with the same hair color as her. She would be in a bad mood. It would not be good for her.”

Li Du said, “The child could decide about their nationality later. Moreover, we may not give birth to the child in Los Angeles, we may return to Australia. I have just thought that Sophieʼs due date would be early autumn in Australia and it is more environmentally comfortable than Los Angeles.”

Li Duʼs father sighed, “But out Li Family were there for so many generations, and had handed down the old home. We must at least let the child have solid roots.”
