Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1043

Chapter 1043

Albert felt a little guilty, as he evasively said, “I’m in a meeting, so I couldn’t hear the ringing. Is everything okay?”

That sounded awfully familiar to Hylda. Those were the exact same lines Albert would say to fool Rainee whenever she called. At the time, he was actually lying on Hylda’s bed.

The words he used, and his tone were exactly the same.

Hylda trembled with anger and said without beating around the bush, “Why haven’t you brought her to get an abortion yet?”

Albert pursed his lips and answered, “The doctor told me that her current condition isn’t fit to undergo surgery. Her life would be in danger.”

Hylda’s face darkened. “When will she be fit enough, then?”

Albert said, “Give her some time to rest and let’s see what the doctor says. We can’t force her to do it if the doctor disagrees with the operation.”

Hylda clenched her fists, as she sneered inwardly. ‘When did he become such a righteous man? I can still remember how reluctant he sounded when I suggested taking action against Rainee. However, he did not hesitate at all once he found out that he might go to jail.’

She suppressed her anger and said in a calm tone, “Albert, be honest with me. Do you want to keep that baby?”

Albert paused and quickly denied it. “Of course not. I’ve promised you that I’ll handle this as long as you take good care of our baby inside you. It’s true that I like children very much, but you’ve been with me for so many years. I can’t just neglect your feelings like that. Don’t overthink it and just rest well.”

Hylda scoffed disdainfully inside, but she gently said,” Albert, maybe we should just forget it since the risk of having an abortion is too high.”

Albert was taken aback and thought that he had heard her wrong. “W-What did you say?”

Hylda then added, “You can keep the baby if you really want to. But, I want you to promise me one thing. Once that baby is born, get that woman out of Rivera forever, and you will not see her ever again. I’ll treat her baby as my own. If you can guarantee this, I’ll gladly accept her baby into our family.”

Sophia was stunned. “Mom, you’re crazy-“

Hylda shot her a glance, and she immediately stopped talking and gritted her teeth.

‘Is my mom out of her mind? How could she offer to raise someone else’s baby? Did her pregnancy make her go insane?’
