Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 246

What kind of stunt was Tessa pulling this time? Just how far was she willing to go to stop the divorce?

But with so many people watching, Elias couldn't just walk away and leave her there.

At the end of the day, Tessa was still legally his wife. If he was really that heartless, he would be ripped apart by their entire social circle the next morning.

In elite marriages, even when the love was dead, appearances had to be maintained.

Resigning himself to the inevitable, Elias silently climbed into the car and followed them to the hospital.

An hour later, the doctor frowned at them. "The patient is one month pregnant. She needs to be incredibly careful moving forward. If she gets hurt again, she won't be able to keep the baby!"

Tessa was stunned for a moment, but then a wave of absolute euphoria washed over her face!

With this baby, she suddenly had the ultimate lifeline!

The timing was miraculous. It was exactly what Tessa needed right now!

The doctor's words brought a dead silence to the hospital room. Elias stared ahead, completely shell-shocked.

A second later, Tessa's voice broke the quiet. "Elias... I... I'm carrying your child. Aren't you happy?"

Elias didn't answer, and Tessa's voice grew thick with tears. "I promise, I'll behave from now on, okay? I'll live a quiet life with you, I won't cause any more scenes, and I won't go looking for trouble with Willow. Just... just please don't divorce me, okay?"

Her plea was painfully submissive, and Silas's heart instantly ached for her. He whirled around and glared furiously at Elias. "I know I wasn't there when the bride was swapped, but Xavier told me you knew about it and agreed to it! You haven't even been married that long, and you're already trying to throw her away? She's pregnant with your child, and this is how you act? Are you even human? If you refuse to take responsibility, I'll march straight to Arthur Landon and tell him exactly what happened today!"

A cold glint flashed in Elias's eyes. He lowered his gaze and remained utterly silent.

Meanwhile, Willow had already made it back home.

Lucian and York were highly perceptive. Knowing that the diary she had taken from Leo was incredibly important to her, they didn't press her for details. Instead, they exchanged a quiet glance and headed back to their own homes.
