Chapter 2 The moment the man ' voice came through , I held back my tears and spoke firmly : " I agree , but my condition is this - our child must be your heir . " The man agreed without hesitation . As the call ended , Benjamin approached again , pulling me into his embrace and coaxing , " Rachel is such a good girl , no crying , no fussing . That's my sweet Rachel . " I was cradled in his arms , but my face remained utterly expressionless . True , I would be obedient - so obedient that I'd vanish from his life entirely , remarrying the elite socialite heir to end his bloodline ! The next morning , Benjamin got up early . He took my hand and said gently . " Rachel , we're going for your prenatal checkup today . You've lost weight carrying this baby . " In the past , such words from Benjamin would have filled me with joy . Now , they only filled me with disgust . I let him lead me to the car . As the window rolled down , Kim's saccharine voice chirped , " Benjamin , why did you take so long ? " She then deliberately turned to me . " Sis , I'm not feeling well either . Do you mind if I go to the hospital with you two . " My icy gaze flicked to Benjamin . He leaned in and whispered to me , " Let her come , hmm ? Don't be upset . I'll make it up to you later , sweetheart . " 08-47 00 Chapter 2 In that instant , their scheme crystallized . Today was about showing Kim my unborn child in advance . I let out a bitter laugh , " Not at all . " 288 Vouchers Benjamin exhaled in relief , settling me into the back seat and fastening my seatbelt with exaggerated care . Kim , meanwhile , sprawled boldly in the passenger seat , shooting me a triumphant glance before coquettishly batting her lashes at Benjamin .

" I lowered my eyes , pressing my lips together , " This is the tenth . " The doctor offered no rea This book had been added on your bookshelf . But whispers erupted among the pregnant women waiting outside the room : " That man and the other woman look like the real couple - he hasn't stopped staring at her . The pregnant one's probably the mistress . " " Ten kids ! She's likely popping them out for different sugar daddies . Shameless slut . " Benjamin merely frowned slightly , silent . Kim smirked at me before eagerly peering at the baby ' image on the screen . Her eyes lit up as she hurried to ask , " Well , Doctor ? Boy or girl ? " This hospital was invested in by the the Mitchell family . Chapter 2 Benjamin could obtain any information effortlessly . 288 Vouchers Soon , he and Kim followed the doctor into a private room , leaving me alone outside . When they emerged , Kim glared at me with sour disgust . Benjamin took my hand apologetically . His voice softened . " Rachel , I'm sorry . The fetus is deformed . We need to terminate .

It was that one - night love with him that derailed my studies with an unplanned pregnancy . The baby is perfectly healthy , yet Benjamin wants me to abort her , simply because she's a girl who doesn't suit Kim's preferences ! I stared at Benjamin and blurted out , " What if I say no ? " Benjamin's expression darkened , and his voice turned colder . " Rachel , don't be unreasonable . " I had no desire to argue further and turned to leave , only to be grabbed by Kim , who'd chased after me . With feigned anxiety , she said : " Rachel , are you upset because I came with you ? I'm sorry , I apologize ... " Kim's nails dug viciously into my flesh . I winced in pain and tried to shake her off . " Let go !

He scooped Kim into his arms and was already heading toward the emergency room .
