My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 412

He sniffled his little nose.

"I was... really scared just now. A hundred times more scared than that time someone shorted a scoop of my formula."

Hearing those words, Seraphina felt a thin layer of moisture pool in her eyes.

She weakly turned her gaze toward Little Bean.

Susan sat across the room holding the baby. The little guy's eyes and nose were completely flushed, making him look like an aggrieved little bunny.

"Mommy is fine... don't cry."

Little Bean bit his lip hard, fighting back a fresh wave of tears.

His internal voice choked with emotion. "You're lying, Mommy... You clearly feel awful but you still say you're fine..."

"You do this every time... Do you think you're Iron Man?"

"You are my Mommy... and my Mommy isn't allowed to get sick..."

Seraphina drifted into a deep, heavy slumber.

The fever-reducing injection took effect, and her temperature slowly began to drop.

Lucian stayed by her side, refusing to step away for even a second.

...

Meanwhile, at Langford Manor.

Melody Monroe had rushed over specifically after learning that Lucian would be visiting Evie.

But when she heard that Lucian had turned back halfway, a scheme formulated in her mind, and she hurried to Evie's room with a solemn expression.

Evie was indeed running a high fever, leaning weakly against the headboard.

Melody sat on the edge of the mattress, wearing a mask of profound sympathy.

"Evie, did you know that your brother was actually on his way to see you?"

"But he heard halfway here that Seraphina was sick, so he turned the car right around."

She let out a soft sigh and grabbed Evie's hand, feigning heartache.

"In his heart, that woman will always be more important than you."

She had only gotten close to Evie because the girl held the affection of the Langford family.

If Evie threw too many tantrums and lost that favor, she would become an entirely useless pawn.

Melody gave Evie's hand a gentle squeeze. "Evie, if you think about it calmly, Lucian is a married man now. It's only natural he prioritizes his new family."

"If Ms. Simmons is sick, she might pass it on to Little Bean. He's still so young, and a sick baby is incredibly hard to manage."

Eleanor shot Melody an appreciative look.

"Exactly. Listen to Melody, Evie. She's right."

"Grandma," Evie's eyes brimmed with angry tears, "you all say that, but Lucian hasn't even called to check on me. Does he even see me as his sister anymore?"

The moment her sentence ended, her phone buzzed.

Seeing Lucian's name flash on the screen, a spark of joy flared in Evie's chest.

Yet, she maintained her facade of anger and scoffed coldly. "Calling this late."

Despite her complaints, she pressed answer and spoke with a petulant whine, "Lucian, why aren't you here to see me yet?"
