Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1037

Jack did not agree to it. Leia was already an adult, and she should have the mental capacity for it. "You can't hide it for too long. If Brody doesn't come, she'll eventually realize what happened."

Queenie was silent.

"Leia isn't a child anymore. If she had been lucky, she would have been a mother in two months. We shouldn't shelter her anymore. She was the one who decided to keep the baby and marry Brody, and she'll have to bear with the consequences herself," Jack said.

Usually, fathers educated their children differently from mothers. Queenie began to reflect if her educational methods had been correct.

"Alright." She eventually agreed after pondering over it.

Leia woke up two hours later. Before she could feel sad about the fact that the doctors failed to save her baby, Jack told her that the Hiltons had called off the wedding after they knew that the baby had congenital birth defects.

"That's impossible!" Leia leaned on the headboard. She shook her head in disbelief when she heard that Brody had agreed to call off the wedding.

"Brody wouldn't want to meet you anymore, Leia. In a few days, when you're feeling better, we'll return all the betrothal gifts to the Hiltons," Queenie said as she touched Leia's face gently. "Don't be sad. There will be someone else who will love you more."

She and Jack were not greedy people. Even after Tania said that they need not return the gifts, she decided that she should.

"Brody loves me so much. He wouldn't call off the wedding. Is it because of the baby? Mom, tell him that I can give birth to another baby for him. I'll give him a plump and cute baby!" Leia grabbed Queenie's hands tightly and begged.

"It's not about the baby, Leia!" Queenie tried to comfort her. "You've lied to the Hiltons, and they're furious about it. There's no more chance between you and Brody."

If Leia's baby had no problems, the Hiltons would not have been so angry.

No one would appreciate being deceived like that.

"I love Brody too much, Mom, don't you know? I didn't want to disappoint him because he's so eager to be a father, and I dared not say anything. Give me my phone, Mom. I'll explain it to Brody," Leia said while crying. She would have already gotten off the bed and went to look for Brody if not that her whole body was aching.

Queenie's hands were in pain. She did not pull them away, but instead, she looked at her husband.

Jack had been silent all this while. He handed Leia her phone and said, "If Brody still loves you, he'll answer your call. If not, you should give up."

Leia let go of her mother, took the phone, and dialed Brody's number.

The call beeped twice before it switched to the busy tone.

She dialed Brody's number again. This time, she was told that the other party had blocked her number…

"No, this can't be. Listen to me, Brody!" Yelling at the phone, Leia was on the brink of madness.

Jack grabbed her phone and said, "Calm down, Leia."

"He doesn't want me anymore, Dad. What should I do? No, I'll have to go and find him so that I can explain it to him. If he knows the truth, he'll forgive me!" Leia's snot was all over her face. Just the day before, she had been fantasizing about what she would do with her riches when she became Mrs. Hilton.

The day after that, she was informed that the marriage was called off.

Her fantasy crumbled right in front of her. Leia could not accept it.

Jack saw that Leia was about to get off the bed, so he pressed the panic button and held her down. "You can't get out of bed now."
