Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1452

Lena sat by the bedside, holding Lina's hand, and murmured, "Why isn't it men who go through childbirth... Now you have to endure this pain."

"What are you saying?" Lina suppressed her laughter, fearing her incision might open.

"Isn't it true?! Why should women bear all these pains?" Lena thought about her time teaching in the mountainous area and the plight of those girls from impoverished families. It stirred up a mix of emotions.

"Sis, when I saw those girls during these past few months in the mountains... I couldn't help but feel bad for them."

Lina responded softly. "Tell me about it."

"I don't have much education, so I could only teach them P.E. there." Lena chuckled. "But I noticed that these girls were still very restricted even during P.E. classes.

"Then there are some girls who are promised to someone at a young age, waiting to grow up and marry into the other family in exchange for money. The money is kept for the boys in their families to use when they get married...

Lina's eyes were filled with emotions. She knew that Lena was not great at expressing herself, but she had an overflowing sense of justice and was extremely emotional. Having gone through hardships and being mistreated as a child, Lena particularly detested those who abused or mistreated girls.

Lina felt a twinge of sadness and patted Lena's hand.

Lena added with a smile, "Luckily, our little baby is very fortunate to be born in your womb."

"Our?" Lina smiled.

"Of course!" Lena said seriously, "I have a part in this. I'll raise her with you!"

Giggles and joy filled the room while two grown men stood stunned at the doorway, exchanging puzzled looks.

"Chris, explain to me now. When did the child become hers?"

Chris awkwardly smiled. "Well..."
