After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 26

But the stab of pain in her heart was still there.

“Gideon, if Aria doesn’t want to have a baby to save me, can you please not force her? I don’t want her to hate me…”

At her words, Gideon’s expression softened.

“Aria isn’t unwilling.”

Aria clenched her fists and sneered. In Gideon’s eyes, she didn’t even have the right to be unwilling.

“I know she doesn’t want to. Otherwise, she would have come to the hospital to see me!” Lilith whimpered softly on the other end of the line. “Gideon, please don’t force her, okay? She’s the only sister I have. I don’t want to see her suffer…”

No one would willingly give up their life. Unless Aria had said something to her.

Gideon gently reassured Lilith, promising to visit her later. Only then did Lilith hang up, her voice choked with sobs.

“What did you say to Lilith?” As soon as the call ended, Gideon’s voice turned cold. “How else would she know you’re unwilling to have a child?”

Aria looked up. “I haven’t even seen her today. What could I have said?”

Besides, Lilith didn’t have a late-stage bone tumor. She wasn’t in desperate need of umbilical cord blood to save her life. It was very likely a misdiagnosis.

A misdiagnosis? Could it be that Lilith also knew it was a misdiagnosis, and that's why she didn't want Gideon to touch her? Was her real goal to force Gideon to divorce Aria so she could take her place?

Unfortunately for Lilith, her plan backfired. Not only did Gideon not divorce her, but he was now determined to have a child with her to save Lilith.

Gideon’s expression was indifferent. “Lilith is kind. She’s nothing like you.”

She’d heard that line so many times it had lost its sting.

“Well, what if Lilith is…”
