Claire is surprised, but can’t help sneering. “I live well? After I married you, I am ruined by you every day and used as a slave by you. I want to die. You now command me to live. You might as well torture me. At least I won’t worry.”
“You...”
Leo wants to get angry, but suddenly he doesn’t know what to say. Because Claire is right. He is really ruining her and torturing her.
“It’s different now.” Leo turns his head and looks out of the window. He has his back to Claire.
“Why?”
“Because you are not alone now. The doctor says you are pregnant.” Leo suddenly turns around and stares at Claire.
Claire seems to hear something incredible. Her eyes are as big as brass bells.
Is she pregnant?
She is very young and doesn’t expect that she is pregnant.
Is the previous nausea, vomiting, weakness and fatigue due to pregnancy?
Claire can’t believe that something so far away suddenly comes to her. She feels like she is dreaming. And it’s a nightmare!
“So you have to live well. After all, you are my wife, and you are pregnant with my baby. I won’t let anyone hurt you.” Leo says in a rare soft voice.
He comes to Claire. He strokes her bandaged wound with his hand. He says gently to her, “you are not just you now. You have to be careful. The doctor says that you not only broke your head, but also nearly miscarried.”
Claire is stunned. She almost falls into Leo’s dark eyes again. Once they become tender, it seems that they can drown her.
All of a sudden, Emma comes to the door and is stunned. She hears the frightening news.
Emma is surprised, but she soon calms down. She leaves the hospital quietly and calls Juan quickly.
“What’s the matter? Say it directly!” Juan’s voice on the phone is deep, but it is obviously impatient. It seems that he doesn’t want to receive Emma’s call.
“Something very serious happened. I have to see you right away.” Emma says coldly, “it’s serious. Claire’s pregnant!”
“What?” Juan on the phone is shocked and stunned. He growls, “Claire’s pregnant? Is this true?”
She is pregnant with Leo’s baby.
Emma frowns. “I heard it. It’s true! Help me think of a solution!”
Juan is silent. His mind is full of Claire. He thinks for a long time and says, “Claire has just been diagnosed with pregnancy. Now you can bribe the doctor in the hospital and make him say it’s misdiagnosed.”
“Misdiagnosis?” Emma exclaims, “that’s impossible. Even if it’s misdiagnosed, she’s really pregnant and her abdomen will get bigger and bigger.”
Juan clenches his teeth and fist. “Claire has only been married to Leo for more than a month. You can bribe the doctor and make him say she was pregnant a month ago. What will Leo do? They will divorce!”
Emma is stunned. She laughs wildly, “my God! This is a good plan. It’s great! You’re too smart!”
Then they hang up and Emma sneers, “Claire, you’re going to die this time.”
Juan hangs up and lies on the sofa.
Claire is pregnant. She is pregnant with Leo’s baby.

The readers' comments on the novel: Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad
The storyline could have been better -- organization and cohesion of episodes could stand improvement, ending could have been more definitive resolving the many conflicts between the protagonists. Of course, the despicable treatment of Leo towards Claire initially, e.g., selling her off in an auction and giving her to the madam of the club as princess is inhuman and a violation to the wife's rights and honor. I was wondering why she did not leave after these maltreatments. Oh, well, the conclusion [if the narrative ends in Chapter 488] is quite disappointing and anti-climactic. Thank you just the same....
The end of the story is wanting, considering how the episodes build up to conflict after conflict and concluding in yet another conflict. But then c'est la vie! Thank you....
