She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 481

Lucia smiled, thought that Otis was indeed observant, and replied,

"No, there's one more thing I'd like to ask your favor for. No, that's not a favor, but protection."

"Protection?" Otis asked with a worried look in his eyes.

Lucia didn't answer right away, but looked around to make sure Sophie and Edwin weren't going back into the living room. She took a document out of her suitcase and handed it to Otis without thinking too much.

Otis took the document suspiciously. Seeing that Lucia nodded to himself, he opened it and read it.

When the folder was opened, it was a list of tests. Even though Otis knew very little about the female anatomy, he knew what the Chorionic gonadotropin and progesterone tests were for. He glanced quickly at the results at the bottom of the list.

Confirm pregnancy!

Raising his head, Otis looked at Lucia with complicated expression and asked hesitantly, "Lucia, are you pregnant?!"

The reason Otis didn't look happy was he thought the baby was Spencer's, and in the blink of an eye, he had already thought about all the reasons Lucia told him she was pregnant and asked him to protect her. But the next thing, Lucia's soft words shattered all his speculations.

"Yes," said Lucia, with her eyes glittering and her cheeks pinkish. Then she said with a gentle smile, "It's Arthur's."

Even though Otis was meticulous, he was very confused at this moment.

Seeing the shock and confusion in Otis's eyes, Lucia's cheeks reddened, and as her skin began to burn, she told Otis what had happened that night in Miami. If not to explain why, it was really hard for her to talk about this kind of thing.

After hearing Lucia's story, Otis knew what had happened, but now he asked carefully,

"Lucia... Don't you hate Arthur?"

Why did she look so happy?

Lucia smiled wryly and looked back at Otis. "Never hated," she replied earnestly. "Only love..."

It didn't take long for Otis to say, "Spencer is the one who donated his bone marrow to Teddy, isn't he?"

Lucia's eyes darkened and she nodded helplessly. For the first time, she expressed her guilt. "Otis, I'm sorry... I have to save Teddy..."

"No wonder... no wonder..." everything made sense in an instant. As expected, Lucia had been coerced by Spencer. Otis suppressed the anger in his heart and said,

"Why didn't you tell us? If we had known, we would never have let you suffer like this! It's just Spencer's bone marrow!"

Not only Otis, but everyone in his family had the confidence to draw Spencer's bone marrow out!
