Chapter 46
Realizing another possibility. Leah immediately grabbed her phone and dialed Penelope, “Are you keeping something from me?”
“Mom, no!”
“Are you still lying to me? Allison is pregnant, 8 weeks in Penelope, what’s going on?”
“What?” Penelope was taken aback. Did she get pregnant that night? How lucky was Allison?
“Penelope, you even deceived me?” Hearing the strangeness in Penelope’s voice, Leah softened her tone.
Penelope didn’t dare tell Leah her secret, so she vaguely said, “That night at the hotel, it was Allison with Lucian, not me. I asked Allison to keep it a secret and pretend it was me”
“You why didn’t you tell me this earlier?”
“Mom, I was scared too.”
Leah cooled down. Now was not the time to blame Penelope; they needed to deal with the baby in Allison’s belly.
She hung up the phone, took a card from her bag, and handed it to the doctor. “We have to abort this baby!”
“The surgery requires the patient or guardian’s signature.”
While the doctor hesitated, Allison slowly opened her eyes.
“Ah..”
Her vision gradually cleared up, and she saw the unfamiliar surroundings.
Everything was white, the smell of disinfectant saturated the air, and she thought she heard Leah’s voice.
Baby? She…she was pregnant? Allison instinctively placed her hand on her belly.
She was pregnant, and the baby was…Lucian’s?
