The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike novel Chapter 922

Chapter 922 

The doctor had mistook Jerick as the father of the baby in Lillian’s belly. 

Before Jerick could explain himself, Lillian had begun speaking to the doctor, “He’s not the father of my child, so I can make the decision myself. Doctor, please arrange an abortion procedure for me!” 

Upon hearing this and seeing Lillian’s determination, the doctor responded, “Well then, I…” 

Suddenly, a voice interrupted the doctor’s words and echoed in the ward. “I am the child’s father, so what if I don’t agree to the procedure?” 

A tall figure emerged in the ward as the voice trailed off. 

Lillian gazed at Callum, who was dressed in a simple white shirt and black pants, in astonishment as he approached her hospital bed. His hair looked slightly disheveled, and his shirt collar was left unattended, indicating that he had arrived in a hurry. 

up that 

Simultaneously, Callum looked at the person on the hospital bed fixedly. When he woke morning, his first thought was to reach out to her and convey that they could finally be united. He was eager to divulge everything that had happened in the past with her. 

However, to his surprise, the one who answered the phone was Jerick. Upon learning about her hospitalization due to a car accident, Callum hastily rushed over, only to hear her request for an abortion procedure. 

“Why are you giving up on our child? If this child poses a threat to your well-being and worsens your injuries, I wouldn’t hesitate to agree to the abortion,” uttered Callum, carefully articulating each word with a hint of confusion in his eyes. “But at this moment, there’s no reason to let go of this child, is there? All we need to do is transfer to a more advanced hospital in the city, and with expert care, this child still has a chance at survival, right?” 

Lillian bit her lips tightly and said nothing. 

“I’ll immediately make the arrangements for your transfer to another hospital!” Upon seeing her response, Callum immediately took out his phone and was about to make the call when Lillian suddenly shouted, “There’s no need for that. I have the right to decide this child’s fate!” 

Her words caused Callum’s body to stiffen. He then turned around and stared at her, saying, “You’re hell-bent on giving up on our child?” 

The shock in his eyes was apparent as if he couldn’t fathom the decision Lillian had just made. 

She met Callum’s eyes, and his gaze was like intangible needles, causing sharp pangs in her chest. 

Despite her unbearably dry throat, Lillian still gritted her teeth and forced out a resolute word. “Yes!” “Why?” questioned Callum. He was at a loss as she had seemingly wanted to keep the child earlier. Otherwise, why would she have taken the folic acid he purchased for her and scheduled prenatal check-ups in advance? 

Lillian’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and a deep bitterness overwhelmed her. “Why? How could he be asking me for a reason?” she pondered. “Does he not understand the emotions I had to endure while spending the entire night waiting outside his mansion? Does he not comprehend the feeling of being betrayed for a second time?” 

Finally, she uttered, “Because I wish to sever all connections with you.” 

In that fleeting moment, it felt as if the air in the ward had solidified as Callum emanated an oppressive presence, creating a stifling atmosphere for those in the room. 

“Well… Why don’t you discuss it among yourselves and contact the nurses at the nurses’ station when you’ve decided whether you wish to transfer to another hospital or remain here,” said the doctor, feeling somewhat uneasy, before leaving the room. 

Jerick, on the other hand, glanced at the dynamics between Lillian and Callum. He was uncertain about whether to leave or remain in the room. 

Before he could decide, Callum spoke up coldly. “Mr. Backman, I need to speak with Lillian in private. Please leave.” 

“But…”

Before he could finish, Lillian also spoke up. “Jerick, why don’t you give us some space? There are some things I’d like to discuss with him.” 

Upon hearing this, Jerick finally made up his mind to leave. However, he couldn’t help but caution Callum before he left the room. “Mr. White, Lillian’s still suffering from her injuries. Please have a calm 

discussion and not resort to physical actions.” 

Callum disregarded Jerick’s advice and kept his gaze fixed on Lillian. 

In the end, Jerick let out a sigh and left the ward. 

Soon, Lillian and Callum were the only ones left in the ward. 

“Are you in such a hurry to sever all ties and get rid of our child?” A cold voice suddenly filled the room. Taking a deep breath, she replied, “Yes.” 

“Is this all because of how I left you while you were seriously injured in the past, that you’re not even willing to grant me a single chance?” questioned Callum. 

Lillian quickly replied, “Since we’ve parted ways in the past, there’s no reason for us to rekindle our relationship now. Besides, this child would only be a source of trouble for us.” 

Her words caused a trace of pain to flicker in Callum’s eyes as he thought, “Does she understand all my hopes and expectations? Does she know how ecstatic I was when I learned of her pregnancy? I felt that this child was a blessing from above, a sign that the heavens hadn’t severed my hopes and had created a connection between us! But now, she’s telling me that our child, whom I’ve thought of as a blessing, is actually a burden and source of trouble! How pathetic and ridiculous is that?”
