Chapter40
When I woke up again, I found myself lying on the bed.
It was quiet, with an infusion tube.
Baby, my baby.
When I woke up, my first reaction was to touch my belly. At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside and Eugene came in.
“Leanna, are you awake?” He walked to the bedside and sat down.
When I saw him, I immediately grabbed his left hand and asked anxiously, “Mr. Eugene, how is my child? Is he… Okay?”
“Calm down. Relax. Listen to me. The baby is fine. It’s still in your belly.” Eugene patted the back of my hand gently to comfort me.
“Really? Is he still here?” Hearing this answer, my excitement finally calmed down a little.
“Don’t worry. The baby is fine. But the doctor said that you are in the early stage of pregnancy and your condition is very dangerous. You should pay special attention to it in the future and don’t do anything.” He said in an implicit way.
? I’m not a fool. I know what he meant. I felt my face burning and didn’t dare to look at him.
“Yesterday… It was an accident…” I could only explain in this way.
“I see.” He raised his eyebrows and said, “then I hope this accident won’t happen again in the future.”
“No, never.” I shook my head and made up my mind.
“That’s good.” He said with a faint smile on his face.
“Thank you for your help today. If it weren’t for you, I would have…” I looked at him with gratitude.
He raised his eyebrows and said, “you’re welcome. It seems that I’m destined to be his father. Even if I can’t be his real father, can I be a godfather for the sake of me saving him?”
“Mr. Eugene, you…”?
Was there really fate in the world?
The baby is still in my belly, but it has been predestined to be with Eugene.
“Don’t call me Mr. Eugene. Just call me Eugene. Although we haven’t known each other for a long time, both of us have saved each other’s lives. We are good friends, aren’t we?”
“Okay, Eugene. It’s our honor to be a father.”
“Of course, I still suggest you to consider the suggestion of letting me be the child’s biological father.” He said half jokingly and half seriously.
Hearing this, I lowered my head.
“Leanna, my dear daughter, how are you?” Suddenly, the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside again. A mother dressed as a rich lady rushed in. She rushed to the bed with a worried expression on her face.
I was surprised to see her. When I was about to ask her why she was here, Eugene said, “I called to inform auntie. You need someone to take care of you.”
“Leanna, how is my grandson? Is he all right?” Compared with me, my mother cares more about the baby in my belly.
I turned my head away and didn’t want to talk to her.
“Don’t worry, auntie. The baby is fine.” Eugene answered for me.
“That’s good. That’s good. Leanna, I didn’t mean to blame you. Now that you are going to be a mother, you must take care of yourself in the future. Do you understand? Don’t make any mistake.”
I don’t want to talk to her. I just keep silent with a long face.
My mother turned to Eugene and said, “Eugene, can I call you that?”
“Of course.” Eugene smiled.
“It’s your two young people’s own business. I shouldn’t have said that. But now that Leanna is pregnant, she can’t give birth without a father. Can you think about your marriage…”
Hearing this, I felt ridiculous. “What are you talking about? He is not…”
“Of course. I’ve already proposed. As long as Leanna agrees, we can get the marriage license right away.” Eugene agreed without waiting for me to tell him the truth.
“Oh? Really? That’s great. I’ve told you that Leanna is a lucky girl.” Hearing Eugene’s words, Mother was overjoyed.
Seeing that the misunderstanding was getting deeper and deeper, I was so tired that I didn’t want to say anything in an instant.
‘forget it. Just let them misunderstand me. It’s just that Eugene has suffered a loss.’.
Eugene glanced at me and said, “Auntie, Leanna needs to rest. Let’s go out. Don’t disturb her.”
mother also glanced and stood up. “Okay, okay. I’ll leave now. Eugene, please take good care of Leanna for me. I’ll come to see her tomorrow.”
“Don’t worry, auntie. I will.” Eugene said and took Mother out of the ward.
My phone rang.
I took a look at the caller ID and it was Edmund.
Looking at the time again, it was already noon.
Maybe he went home and didn’t see me, so he called me.
I put the phone near my ear when I answered it.
“Where are you?” Edmund’s low voice came from the other end of the line.
“I have some personal affairs to deal with these days, so I can’t go to the villa. You can find someone else to help you cook and clean.”
“What’s your private affair?”
“Mr. Edmund, we are just the housekeeper and the master now, aren’t we? I don’t think it’s necessary for me to report my private affairs to you, do I?” The thought of his madness last night almost made me lose the baby in my belly made me angry.
“……”
“Mr. Edmund, if there is nothing else, I have to hang up.” There was no reply from the other end of the phone. I don’t want to say anything more. I’m afraid that he will know that I’m in the hospital, and more afraid that he will know that I’m pregnant.
“How many days?” After a long silence, he suddenly asked on the other end of the phone.
“What?” I was stunned for a while, but then I came to my senses. “It won’t be long. Don’t worry. I will go back to work as long as I deal with the things at hand.”
He didn’t say anything more and hung up the phone.
Putting down the phone, I was about to lie down and have a rest, but I didn’t know when Eugene entered the door. I stood far away from the door, seeming to be waiting for me to finish the phone call.
“Did she… Leave?” I asked, “she” naturally referred to Mother.
“Yes, he has left.” He walked to me and said, “I’m wondering if I did something wrong.”
“Why do you say so?” I looked at him in confusion.
“I told your mother that you were in hospital, but it seemed to make the misunderstanding even worse.”
“It doesn’t matter. Just ignore her. Whatever she thinks.” I don’t mind what others think now.
“But I’m still very happy.” When he said this, there was a snicker on his face.
I looked at him in confusion.
“The more people misunderstand that you are my woman, the more likely you are to marry me.”
“…”?
“Well, you should be tired now. Lie down and have a rest. I won’t disturb you here.” After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
“Wait a minute.” But I stopped him.
“What’s wrong?” He turned around and asked.
“Nothing. I just have a question to ask you.”
“Go ahead.”
“In fact, with your conditions, it’s not so difficult to find a single mother to marry. Why did you choose me?”
“You want to know?” He looked at me with a mysterious smile.
“Your conditions are too good for me. They can almost solve all my pressing problems. But because of them, I feel a little uneasy. I need to know the reason why I was chosen by you.” I said sincerely.
“You’re frank.” He smiled and then looked serious. “You want to know why I chose you. Okay, I’ll tell you.”
“There are several reasons. First, you saved me and I also saved you. We are friends. In this regard, no one can surpass your position in my heart. Second, compared with the other people I am not familiar with or know, the risk of choosing you is much smaller. At least I know that you are more kind-hearted than ordinary people, which can make me have no worries. As for the third point, of course, it is also the most important point, That is, you are good-looking. As my wife, Eugene, I will be very proud if I take you out in the future. Because of these three points, I choose you. Do you think my choice is reasonable now? ”
After hearing his three reasons, I suddenly felt speechless.
From his point of view, there seems to be no more suitable person than me.
“All these years, my parents’ greatest wish is that I can find a good girl to marry and have a child. I have found a good girl now. As for this child, although he is not my biological child, I will treat him as my own child. You don’t need to worry.” His attitude was so sincere that no one could refuse him.
I smiled bitterly. “I trust you, just as you trust me. But I always feel that it’s unfair to you and your family. If they know that the baby in my belly is not yours, how sad will they be?”
“Fair? Do you think there is justice in the world?” Hearing the two words “fair”, he suddenly laughed ironically.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
I suddenly feel that my idea is ridiculous.
Yes, from my birth to now, what kind of thing is fair to me?
Other children grew up under the care of their parents, but what about me?
“Leanna, remember, this world is never fair. Some people are born with the blessing of God, and they are born with everything. Some people are poor for their whole lives, and perhaps even food and health can’t be solved.” When he said this, he unconsciously held his chest with his hands.
Yes, if it was fair, why not give him a healthy body?
After a moment of silence, he said gently, “have a good rest. I won’t force you to make any decision. Maybe you are right, and it’s good to be the godfather of the child.”
I stayed in the hospital for a week, and Edmund didn’t come to see me during this period.
When I left the hospital and went back to work in the villa, I found that the room was covered with a thin layer of dust when I was not there. It didn’t seem that someone had lived there before.
I went upstairs and went to my room. The bed was a little messy, as if I had slept on it that day.
It seems that he really hasn’t returned to the villa these days when I was in hospital.
I turned around and went downstairs. The kitchen was in a mess, but it was unlucky. Looking at the mess in front of her, I sighed, rolled up my sleeves and began to clean it up.
Because the doctor has told me that I am in the first three months of pregnancy, so I must be careful in everything. I can’t be too tired, nor can I do physical work.
So when I’m cleaning, I pay special attention to it. I usually work for half an hour and rest for half an hour.
After a day, the villa was finally cleaned up by me.
After pouring a glass of water for me, I sat on the sofa and took out my phone to send a message to Edmund.
“I’m in the villa. Will you come back for dinner?”
After a while, he replied, “No.”
After reading the message, I felt inexplicably disappointed. When I was about to put down the phone, another message flew in. “I won’t go there recently.”
She wouldn’t come.
I was so angry that I threw my phone on the sofa.
A few seconds later, my phone vibrated.
Although I didn’t want to read it, i couldn’t help but read it. There were words on it, “take care of yourself.”
This inappropriate concern made me feel very uncomfortable.
I got up and was about to take my bag back to the apartment, but a black leather car came from the front and stopped at the gate of the villa.
