Eleanor Hollis saw her face turn pale, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly. Alice Lynch noticed Anna Hollis’s gaze freeze on a certain spot, and she followed her gaze. Upon seeing those two people, her body trembled. "What a coincidence." Eleanor Hollis said casually, her gaze stopping at Anna Hollis’s belly, and then she smiled. This smile completely angered Anna Hollis. Anna Hollis gripped her hands tightly, but thinking that Eleanor Hollis had dirt on her, she dared not act rashly, her face was pale as she stared at her. This matter must not be spread! Her gaze stopped on Hugo Quinn, and then she saw that Eleanor was also waiting for a report, just like her. Her mind instantly realized, could this bitch be pregnant?! Damnit! How could her luck be so good! How could she be pregnant with Hugo Quinn’s child! Anna Hollis clenched her teeth tightly, her chest feeling like it had a bomb stuffed inside, glaring at Eleanor Hollis with hatred. If this person is really pregnant with Hugo Quinn’s child, given Hugo’s personality, he would probably marry her. How would they deal with her then? After all, there is no one else in Serenford now who is richer or more powerful than Hugo Quinn. "Anna, don’t be impulsive." Alice Lynch whispered, taking a deep breath, pretending not to see Eleanor Hollis at the side. Anyways, since the fact they came for checkups has been spotted, as long as they don’t provoke Eleanor Hollis actively, she won’t say anything. Anna Hollis snorted coldly, saying nothing more. In no time, both of them received their report. Anna Hollis was indeed pregnant, but the doctor called her to the office for further explanation. "Did you understand what I said, Miss Hollis?" Both Anna Hollis and Alice Lynch were stunned. What did the doctor just say? The placenta is unstable, and the child is at risk of a miscarriage anytime, meaning this child cannot be born. "I understand, thank you, doctor." The doctor nodded, then suggested again. "Miss Hollis, I still recommend you to have the surgery early and remove the child, as this would minimize harm to your body. Otherwise, when the child grows, you might end up with health problems." But Anna Hollis curved her lips. When the doctor mentioned the unstable placenta, she already came up with a brilliant plan, so she absolutely cannot remove the child now. "Mom, let’s go back." Alice Lynch and Anna Hollis were indeed mother and daughter. Seeing Anna Hollis’s expression, Alice knew what this girl was thinking and curved her mouth likewise. And on the other side, Hugo Quinn quietly looked at the document, his initial surprise gradually disappearing, replaced by disappointment. Eleanor Hollis patted his shoulder; she had told him that she couldn’t be pregnant, as she took medications every time. Even though contraceptive pills aren’t 100% effective, it’s unlikely she’d be unlucky enough to get pregnant. "Hugo, I told you, but you wouldn’t listen and insisted on doing the checkup. I took meds every time; how could I be pregnant?" Perhaps because she wasn’t pregnant, her mood lightened, and she couldn’t help but reveal the truth. The surrounding atmosphere suddenly cooled, and Eleanor shivered, turning to look at Hugo Quinn. She found his expression terrifying, as if he was going to eat someone. "What’s wrong with you?" She swallowed hard, saying, only to realize Hugo Quinn was looking at her with bloodshot eyes. "You said you took meds every time?" In Hugo Quinn’s eyes, it was unclear whether it was disappointment or something else, he just felt a sharp pang in his heart. Eleanor Hollis wanted to cover her mouth, but knew it was too late now, so she could only nod painfully. Because Hugo Quinn’s requests always came suddenly, there was no contraception, she could only prepare medications for herself. "Do you know how harmful that stuff is to your body? Do you really not want to bear my children?" Although his voice was soft, Eleanor Hollis felt as if a thousand pounds weighed on her chest. She took a deep breath, feeling guilty under his gaze, averting her eyes. "It’s not like that..." She wanted to grasp his hand but was avoided by him. His gaze, in that instant, became so unfamiliar that it frightened Eleanor Hollis. "Turns out, I was the only one expecting the arrival of that child. Eleanor Hollis, I want to ask you, in your heart, what kind of person am I? Am I an irresponsible jerk, or do you think I am like your ex-husband? Since you were willing to bear a child for him, why aren’t you willing to give birth to our own child?" After speaking, he turned away, leaving without hesitation. Eleanor Hollis reached out, trying to grasp him, but her hand stopped in mid-air. Whether it was in the past or now, that child was an eternal pain in her heart. Now with the scar uncovered, her face instantly turned pale. Hugo Quinn got in a car and left, abandoning her here alone. Eleanor Hollis saw him so angry for the first time, angry enough not to wait for her to go home together. She was dazed here at the hospital, and then saw Anna Hollis and Alice Lynch walking out. "Sister, why are you here alone? Where’s Young Master Quinn? Did he just leave you here?" Latest content publıshed on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝※𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖※𝕟𝕖𝕥 Anna Hollis’s eyes were filled with schadenfreude, having watched the argument between the two clearly from upstairs. So is it because Eleanor Hollis wasn’t pregnant that Hugo Quinn got angry? Turns out, in Hugo Quinn’s eyes, Eleanor Hollis was just a tool for childbirth. Eleanor Hollis said nothing, standing there steadily. "Sister, I finally understand why Hugo Quinn keeps you around. Turns out, he just wants you to bear a child for him. For a man like Hugo Quinn, a child obviously matters more than a woman. After all, he has to cultivate an outstanding heir. A woman is merely a tool for childbirth. If this tool breaks, he can always find another." Eleanor Hollis’s gaze finally flickered, turning to look at Anna Hollis. "If you want everyone in Serenford to know you’re pregnant, just keep talking." Her words instantly shut Anna Hollis’s mouth. Anna Hollis felt she was going crazy, wishing she could rush up and tear Eleanor Hollis’s mouth apart! Alice Lynch said beside her, gently shaking her arm. Anna Hollis thought of her plan and snorted coldly, deciding not to argue with Eleanor Hollis. When she got in the car, she didn’t forget to open the window. "Sister, do you want us to give you a ride? I see you waiting here alone, quite pitiful." However, her answer was Eleanor Hollis’s turned back, as Eleanor directly hailed a cab to leave. Anna Hollis’s face instantly darkened, slapping the car window hard. That bitch! She really considers herself important! "Anna, why are you provoking her? We’ll need to dig things from her later. Don’t make the relationship too tense."
