Sweet Pregnant Wife: CEO Phillip's Fierce Love novel Chapter 3

All of their relatives and friends were avoiding them like a plague since the Scott family was sealed off. Ann made calls for days but eventually fell into depression.

Thinking of what her father had said to her in prison... she bit her dry lower lip tightly. All this was too overwhelming and her slender body could fall any minute now.

At this moment, her phone rang. It was an unknown number.

"Ann, have you met your father? What do you think? Do you want to agree to the deal I said?"

Ann closed her eyes and bit her lower lip until it turned pale.

The knuckles of her hand turned white from her firm grasp of the phone. Her voice was trembling.

"What if I am not pregnant?"

"I'll think of another way. You'll get pregnant." The woman sounded desperate. "Wait there. I'll have someone take you to the hospital."

Ann couldn't say no.

Tears fell silently from the corner of her eyes. She comforted herself in her mind.

'Ann, it's okay. All of this is for Dad. You can make it through. There is still hope in life.'

...

The person Hilda sent took Ann to the hospital and had her thoroughly examined.

Ann didn't know whether she should say she was lucky or the other way around. She was pregnant!

Anyway, she could save her father now.

As soon as Ann's pregnancy was confirmed, Hilda gave her the money instantly according to the terms of the agreement.

Ann felt a little bit surprised and ironic.

"You gave me the money now? Aren't you afraid that I won't give birth to this baby?"

Hearing this, Hilda sneered, "I could send your father to prison once, then I can also do it twice. You are smart, and you know what you should do."

Ann smiled bitterly. Yes, she was right.

She was the weak one. She had no right to say no.

She took a deep breath and offered her conditions.

"I'll move to the place you arranged for me until I give birth to this baby. But before that, you need to give me time to take care of my father and the whole school thing."

Hilda seemed to be in a good mood today. "Alright. It will take three months for the court to decide. I'll give you three months. After that, I'll send someone to pick you up."

...

The Second Prison

Using that money, Ann paid off the debt when the Scott family went bankrupt and pulled some strings.

Hilda found a place for Ann in the remote Dains Town for her delivery.

Although the town was not advanced in economy and transportation, it boasted beautiful scenery.

The baby was due in March when the River City was still in the early spring cold spell. The temperature there was low.

Thus Ann could only stay on the second floor of the house.

She was slim, but her belly was unusually big.

The doctor who examined her mentioned that she seemed to be pregnant with twins.

When being sent to the delivery room that had been prepared for her, Ann touched her bulging belly with her hand. Somehow, her pale face showed a wisp of sorrow and sadness.

What did she feel sorry for? Why would she be so sad?

After all, all of this was just a deal. She was not a qualified mother.

The sharp pain in her body made her unable to think. Her entire face was covered in sweat, as pale as a piece of paper.

When she felt the baby got out of her body, something streamed down from her eyes. She couldn't tell whether it was sweat or tear.

Before the doctor took the baby away, she instinctively grabbed his arm.

"Can I see it?"
