The Billionaire's Genius Wife-Chapter 381 Roland Gilwynn

"Robert, my old friend, why were you surprised to see me just now? You looked at me like you just saw a ghost..." Roland spoke calmly, but Robert felt a warning under his words. He swallowed nervously, his mind racing with thoughts, looking at Roland.

Robert still couldn't believe his eyes. He was surprised to see someone like Roland Gilwynn, the former King, visiting his office. Typically, Robert would conduct medical examinations at Roland's residence, so this sudden visit caught him off guard.

Yet, the uncanny resemblance between Roland's face and Scarlett's left Robert even more astonished. It wasn't the first time Robert had noticed this. Still, he never paid attention to it because Scarlett often concealed her actual appearance with disguises.

However, Scarlett hadn't donned any disguises today, making their striking similarities apparent. With his expert-level knowledge of human anatomy, he immediately thought these two people were related.

The realization struck Robert deeply, causing him to ponder the connection between them and the secrets beneath their shared features. 𝒷ℯ𝓭𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓮𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝓶

Robert immediately put aside what was on his mind. Then smiled at Roland.

"Sir, I'm pleasantly surprised by your presence in my humble office," Robert said, maintaining his polite smile. "Usually, our routine checkups take place at your residence. May I ask why you chose to come here?" he continued.

"Hahaha, Robert, I simply wanted to pay you a visit," Roland chuckled lightly, shaking his head playfully. "I grew tired of staying at home. Besides, it has been too long since I last went outside, and I've started to forget the beauty of our kingdom," he joked.

"Indeed, you should explore more, sir," Robert responded with a small laugh. "...Since you've honored my office with your presence, shall we proceed with a medical checkup?" he suggested, fulfilling his responsibilities as Roland's personal doctor.

"Sounds excellent!" Roland Gilwynn agreed. "But before we begin, let's discuss your recent trip to Asia. What kept you there for such an extended period?" he asked curiously.

Robert Lewis began to share his exhilarating experiences with Roland, "Sir, I have always had a strong desire to broaden my perception of the world. That's why I travel to different continents..."

Roland was astonished to hear his story. They engaged in pleasant conversation for several minutes, discussing their respective travels and adventures.

However, a lingering curiosity nagged at Robert's mind, forcing him to ask Roland Gilwynn further.

"Sir, if you don't mind me asking..." Robert paused momentarily, feeling a little worried that his question would offend Roland.

But Robert can't hold himself to ask, "...Do you have any other children?" He hurriedly added, "I apologize for any impoliteness on my part. Please forgive me."

Roland raised his hand in a reassuring gesture. "Robert, there's no need for apologies, my friend," he smiled, his face softening.

In the past few months, Robert was the third person to inquire about his offspring, piquing Roland's curiosity — Everyone in the country knows he only has two legitimate children. So why were people still asking him about it?

"Well, as you know, I only have Simon and Maggie. May I ask why you're suddenly inquiring about this?" Roland questioned a hint of intrigue in his voice.

Just as Robert was about to respond, a knock on the door interrupted their conversation. Startled, he called out, "Come in!"

Robert's secretary entered the room and informed him that the room for the medical checkup was ready.

"Sir, shall we proceed?" Robert asked politely, turning his attention to Roland Gilwynn.

Soon, the two of them went to the designated medical room, a place exclusively reserved for the VVIP members of M International Hospital. But this morning, it was closed to accommodate Roland Gilwynn's medical checkup.

...

At the same time, Scarlett had completed her pregnancy checkup with Dr. Tiffany.

It was Scarlett's first pregnancy. She found solace in consulting with the doctor and spent a significant amount of time discussing her concerns. If it weren't for Xander's reminder, their conversation could have easily continued until lunchtime.

Reluctantly, Scarlett agreed to conclude the consultation. Before parting ways, Dr. Tiffany suggested exchanging phone numbers, enabling them to continue their discussions in the future.

As Scarlett exited the examination room, Robert's secretary awaited her at the door. Sensing some urgency, Scarlett approached her.

"Ms. Riley," the secretary greeted her politely. "I would like to convey Doctor Robert's apologies to you because he cannot meet you now because an important patient has suddenly appeared and needs action..." She also told Scarlett that Robert would call her as soon as he finished treating his patient.

Understanding the situation, Scarlett decided to head home as Rex had just informed her of his arrival in town and expressed his plan to visit their house for lunch.

Scarlett says goodbye to the secretary and rushes back home with Xander.

However, Scarlett grew curious about Doctor Robert's mysterious patient during the trip to their home. It was pretty unusual for Doctor Robert to act this way — In the past, he usually refused to see his VIP patients whenever Scarlett visited him at the hospital.

Scarlett regretted not asking Doctor Robert's secretary for any information before leaving. She let out a sigh of frustration.

"What's on your mind, babe?" Xander asked, noticing the turmoil in Scarlett's thoughts. He could sense something was bothering her.

"Do you still worry about your pregnancy? Babe, Dr. Tiffany assured us that our baby is as healthy as you are. You don't need to dwell on it too much. Just focus on staying happy and nourishing yourself with nutritious food," Xander reassured, noticing her silence.

Scarlett turned her gaze towards Xander and smiled as she heard his concern.

"It's not about my pregnancy," Scarlett said, moving closer and resting her head on his shoulder. "I'm simply curious about who Grandpa Robert's patient is..."

"Oh, so you're curious about that?" Xander replied.

Scarlett instantly sat up straight, her eyes widening in surprise. "You know who the patient is?"

Before they left Doctor Robert's office, Xander had noticed a familiar face, a man he had seen at one of the royal events. He was confident it was the same person, the former King's personal assistant, and several royal guards guarding a door.

"Yeah, I think... I know him," Xander said.

"Who is it?" Scarlett asked curiously.

"If I'm not mistaken, that person might be the current king's father, Sir Roland Gilwynn..."
