Casey immediately looked at Nadia with his eyes wide open in disbelief and asked, "What's that?"
Casey had always been calm. Now, there was a panicked expression in his eyes. Nadia stared at him. Knowing why he reacted in that way, she repeated, "There's abortifacient in that cup of milk tea."
Casey was instantly filled with dread. There was abortifacient in that cup of milk tea. Didn't it mean that Edith was already pregnant?
As a man, what Casey thought of first was that if it was his child. After all, Edith had been missing for more than two months. During such a long time, anything could happen.
Thinking of this, Casey became angry. Previously, he thought that Edith was taken good care of in the Sue family. He had never anticipated that something like that would happen.
Seeing his reaction, Nadia immediately smiled, asking, "Are you wondering if it's your child?"
Casey gave her a glance and didn't deny it.
"As expected, in this respect, you're not different from other men." Nadia smiled as if she had found something funny, "In fact, if she's really pregnant, the child she's carrying is highly likely to be yours. The people of the Sue family wants to build connections with the Nelson family with her marriage, but they haven't met yet. Before that, I guess that the people of the Sue family won't let her have any contact with other people."
Hearing that, Casey immediately calm down. He thought that what Nadia said made some sense. Just now, when he thought of that kind of possibility, he did lose control of himself.
"Quick, ask your doctor to get her checked. I want to know if she's really pregnant." Casey said.
Nadia nodded, after which she went to ask a doctor to have Edith checked at once.
Before long, several doctors went into the room Edith was in with some equipment. After the check, the doctors told Casey that Edith had been pregnant for three months or so.
Hearing that, Casey was immediately breathless. Three months ago, Edith was still in J City. In this case, the child Edith carrying was Casey's. This also explained why the people of the Sue family would put abortifacient into Edith's milk tea.
After feeling glad, Casey began to blame himself. It never occurred to him that Edith suffered all these when she was pregnant. When Edith had an accident, he was not in J City. However, he still thought that it was his fault.
"It's been confirmed that your wife is pregnant. The reason why they want your wife to have an abortion is probably that they still want to build connections with the Nelson family with her marriage. What're you going to do next?" Nadia asked while looking at Casey who had been lost in thought after knowing the result.
Casey raised his head, gave Nadia a glance and said in a cold voice, "I'll come to Darius and ask him if he really doesn't take Edith as his daughter. If he can't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll kill him."
Nadia knew that Casey was really angry. If Casey hadn't specially gone to People’s Square to protect Edith and therefore hadn't seen Emma put the drug in the milk tea, he would have lost his child.
It was intolerable to Casey. Even if it was Edith's biological father that had done this, Casey wouldn't forgive him.
He had tried to make Edith have an abortion with abortifacient. Under this circumstance, he was not eligible to be treated as Edith's biological father.
Casey always knew it.
"That maidservant is somewhat stubborn and is unwilling to admit it. What're you going to do with her?" Nadia went on asking.
