Chapter 55 Gambling With The Child In Her Womb 

An hour had already passed since breakfast. 

Lenora guessed that Gerald had already awakened, so she went back to the ward with Zachary.

At that time, two more people had joined the hospital ward. One was Zachary’s second aunt, Griselda, and the other was a slightly more distant cousin of his mother, Tamara. 

There were additional boxed gifts in the corner, clearly left by visitors who had come to visit.. 

“Oh, look, Zack and Nora are here.” 

“Aunt Griselda, Aunt Tamara,” Lenora and Zachary greeted them. 

Judging by the situation, Gerald was still not awake. 

“Go and sit by Grandma,” Zachary said to Lenora. 

A coffee table and two stools were situated in the middle of the room. Fearing that Lenora might not see clearly, he purposely guided her across the room, settling her down on the couch next to Allison. 

“The affection between young couples is truly wonderful.” Griselda chuckled as she observed the scene. 

Griselda also saw the news about Zachary and Susanna. 

However, she didn’t take it to heart. Isn’t this just how men are? No matter how much they flirt outside, they always end up returning home. 

“That’s right. Zack and Nora are the most well–matched couple I’ve ever seen,” Tamara said, her face full of smiles and a hint of flattery. 

Her connection with the Fuller family was somewhat distant, yet her entire family depended on the scraps of business that fell through the cracks of the Fuller family’s fingers for their livelihood. As soon as they heard that Gerald was ill and hospitalized, they immediately rushed over to express their concern, hoping to make a good impression in front of Gerald, Allison, and Zachary. 

Zachary gave a faint smile, exchanging pleasantries with Tamara. “How is Uncle Oscar been doing lately? I heard he recently acquired a small factory…” 

Seeing that Zachary showed no displeasure, Tamara took the initiative to join in the conversation, her face glowing red, and quickly responded, “Yes, yes. He is considering expanding his business into the luggage industry…” 

Zachary exchanged a few words, and it was visibly clear that Tamara was extremely pleased. 

Unsure of where the conversation had veered off to, the topic had once again diverged. 

Tamara’s gaze shifted between Lenora and Zachary, and then she said, “Zack is almost thirty this year, isn’t he? And Nora isn’t young anymore, either. When do you two plan on having a child?” 

After Tamara said that, both Griselda and Allison turned their gazes toward Lenora and Zachary,

Griselda echoed, “Indeed, it’s about time you two have a child. Nora is at the perfect age. She would recover quickly after giving birth.” 

Lenora and Zachary exchanged a glance. 

Unconsciously, Lenora’s hand rested on her lower abdomen. 

She already had a child, but she dared not let the child’s father know. 

Zachary gave a light smile calmly. “We don’t have plans to have children yet.” 

Lenora’s fingers subtly tightened, yet her face remained calm as she nodded in agreement. 

“I understand. Young people, after all, desire to experience a world of their own.” 

Allison grumbled, “I’ve urged them several times, but they always brush me off. I want to hold their child in my arms, but who knows when that will happen?” 

Both Lenora and Zachary remained silent. 

After sitting in the hospital ward for a while, Tamara stood up, ready to leave. Allison also told Zachary to go to work, insisting he didn’t need to stay in the hospital ward all the time. 

Once the two individuals had left, Griselda moved to sit beside Lenora, whispering in her ear, “Nora, I advise you, it’s better to have a child with Zack sooner rather than later, to avoid being overtaken by those young starlets out there. Once you have a child, your position will be secure. No matter how much those women out there flutter, they won’t be able to make any waves.” 

“Thank you for the reminder, Aunt Griselda,” Lenora responded, though her mind was elsewhere. She couldn’t help but wonder, if they truly had a child, would Zachary have any lingering affection? 

She only dared to entertain such thoughts, but she didn’t dare to gamble on them. 

If she were to gamble with the life of the child in her womb, it would be a loss she knew she couldn’t bear the consequences of. 

Gerald had stayed in the intensive care unit for three days. After being examined by George, he was moved to a general ward. 

Lenora had also been recuperating in the hospital these past few days, spending each day keeping Gerald company, chatting and talking with him. 

Her eyes were gradually improving, so she could see things much clearer than before. 

Allison spent most of her time in the hospital, keeping her husband company. 

Gerald disliked being hospitalized, and as soon as he was discharged from the intensive care unit, he insisted on going home. 

After much persuasion and discussion, they finally managed to convince George. 

“Tell me. What’s so bad about staying a few more days in the hospital?” Allison sat by the bed, speaking as she peeled the fruit.

Gerald muttered under his breath, “I don’t like staying in the hospital. Don’t Lknow my own body well. enough?” 

As they were speaking, Zachary entered from outside. Grandpa, please heed Mr. Landon’s advice. Stay here a few more days before returning home. Otherwise, we will worry too much.” 

Gerald stopped speaking. 

Zachary glanced at Lenora on the couch, walked over and

It was the Black Forest cake from the bakery that Lenora loved the most. 

With a smile, Lenora lifted her head and said to Zachary, “Thank you.” 

She couldn’t wait to tear open the packaging and began to savor it with great satisfaction. 

Zachary looked at the smile on Lenora’s face, his lips unconsciously curving upwards. He sat down next to Lenora, gently saying, “Eat slowly.” 

Lenora looked up at him. “Would you like to try some?” 

After asking, Lenora suddenly remembered Zachary did not like eating sweets. 

“Mm.” Zachary looked into her eyes, nodding gently. 

Taken aback slightly, Lenora picked up a piece with her fork and brought it to Zachary’s lips. 

Zachary swallowed it down. 

After Allison witnessed the interaction between the two, a smile spread across her face. Teasingly, she asked, “Zack, didn’t you bring anything for us? Have you forgotten about us?” 

“It wasn’t just that he didn’t bring us anything, I remember Zack used to dislike cake so much that he wouldn’t eat it even if you forced him to. But now…” Gerald trailed off, a knowing smile playing on his lips as he looked at the two. 

Allison was grinning from ear to ear. “Zack is so fond of his wife. Perhaps we’ll be cradling a great- grandchild soon.” 

When Lenora heard the elders‘ words, her face turned slightly red. 

Ever since Gerald fell seriously ill, Zachary had been staying with her in the ward for the past few days. They were together day and night, sharing the same bed, as if they had returned to the old times. 

Without Susanna, there was no divorce agreement. 

They were just an ordinary and harmonious couple. 

Zachary looked at the blush on Lenora’s face, his eyes curving in amusement. 

“Enough now. You’re making Nora embarrassed with all your talk. Nora has been in our home for so many years and still loves sweets,” Gerald said with a laugh.

Because of the bitterness in her heart, she craved something sweet to eat. After indulging in this for so many years, it gradually became a habit. 

“Grandpa, please stop teasing me.” 

After finishing the cake, Lenora stood up and threw the packaging into the trash. Unaware of what she tripped over, she lost his balance and fell forward. 

Zachary swiftly caught her, his hand gripping her waist Their eyes met. “Why are you so careless?” 

Lenora steadied herself by holding onto Zachary’s

With great care, Zachary helped her sit down on the couch. “Are you hurt anywhere?” 

“Just now, my knee bumped into the corner of the table.” 

Immediately, Zachary crouched down in front of the couch. “Which side?” 

“Left.” 

Zachary carefully lifted her long skirt, revealing a bruise on her previously fair knee. 

Zachary gently pressed, but Lenora immediately stopped him. “Don’t press. It hurts.” 

Zachary stood up and looked at her. “Stay seated here. Don’t move. I’ll get you some medicine.”
