Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 1014

Chapter 1014

Edwin felt even more conflicted the more Kelly insisted.

The veins on his forehead bulged. He clenched his fists tightly and raised his eyebrows. Ì knew from the beginning that Joanne wasn't pregnant. It was my idea to deceive Grandma. Don't put the blame for everything on Joanne. If she can be a bit scheming, I think she has learned something from me eventually, and I'm proud of her."

Kelly froze as her mouth widened in shock. 'Master Edwin is the mastermind?'

Three days have passed since they met in the hospital.

For the past three days, Catelyn had stayed in Atherton Manor and did not go anywhere. It was too late when she learned that Joanne was expelled by Sylvie, and Joanne must have gone somewhere far.

She tried calling her, but Joanne only told her that everything was fine before she ended the call.

Catelyn wanted to call her again, but she was too busy taking care of herself.

After all, she was in a terrible spot herself.

When they met in the gallery that day, Cedrick gave her three days to consider before deciding whether to keep or abort the child. At this moment, three days have passed.

Cedrick believed that she would see reason in his words after struggling for days and would give up the child in the end.

Every minute and every second was a torment for Catelyn, and she felt that she would not be able to hold on any longer.

Finally, Cedrick called her as scheduled.

Catelyn trembled, but still answered the phone. "It's me."

"Have you made up your mind?" Cedrick cut to the chase. His tone was a little calmer, probably because he had already guessed Catelyn's choice.

Catelyn sat on the small blanket, looking into the distance through the window.

Flowers and trees in the winter had long lost their leaves and their previous vitality during summer, but that did not mean that they would not germinate and bloom again in the coming year.

"I won't give up on this child," she replied resolutely.

Cedrick's breathing fluttered on the phone as he said, "Is this the result of your three days of thinking? Even if this child is a sick fetus and will suffer after birth, you still want to keep them?"

"The child is less than three months old, so the test results may not be a hundred percent accurate, right? If I’m willing to take the medicine, maybe the child's condition will get better after a long time?"

Cedrick was silent for a moment before hoarsely retorting, "You're betting the rest of your life on this child!"

Even if the child could be born and somehow survived, the chance of being healthy was too slim.

She might have to live around the child and their genetic imperfection for the rest of her life!

"Yes, I admit that, but I just can't give up! The child isn't in your womb, so you cant feel what I feel! As a mother, whenever I decide to kill this child, they'll react to me in some ways like they're fighting for their life, telling me that they'll be healthy, begging me not to kill them!

"Ceddy, give me and this baby a chance, okay?"
