Albert tried to grab Hylda again, but Ian blocked his hand and said with a dark expression, “Brother-in-
law, the decision you made is very unfair to my sister, yet she didn’t say anything harsh to you. How far
do you want to push her?’
Albert opened his mouth and could not find a word to say.
Then, Ian tly said, “I’m going to hire the bestwyer for my sister in thiswsuit. We’re not going to
give up on Sophia and Hugo. You should tell yourwyer to be prepared as well.”
Albert started panicking at that time.
Ian was not the same man anymore. He had the advantage over Albert since he married into the
Moore family. Besides, Albert did not trust Hylda in keeping the secrets she had been hiding for so
many years if their marriage were to be broken.
Albert would be caught in serious trouble if that happened.
When he thought about that, he got so worried that he immediately stepped forward to stop Hylda.
Then, he said in a hoarse voice, “Hylda, don’t be mad. I’m foolish and made a stupid decision.

“You’ve been with me since you were seventeen years old, and I’ve not given you a proper status or
recognition at all. I didn’t even give you a proper wedding ceremony, yet I’m making you go through
something like this. I’m such an idiot.’
Hylda’s eyes turned red as she choked with sobs. “There’s no need to say anything like this. I know I’m
getting older, and I’m nothingpared to a young girl in her early twenties. I guess I deserve this for
ruining somebody else’s family back then, and I ept it. After all, we’ve been together for many years.
Let’s not turn things ugly.’
Albert said downheartedly, “What are you talking about? I’m not going to divorce you. I want Sophia,
Hugo, and the baby inside of you regardless of gender. Just focus on taking care of your health and
quit thinking about giving up on the baby. The child is destined to be in our family, and I’m going to love
the baby just as much regardless if it’s a boy or a girl. As for Xenia, I’ll give her some money and tell
her to get an abortion. I’ll never see her again.”
Hylda replied in a hoarse voice, “You’re not lying to me, right?’
Albert then said, ’I’ll go to her now and have the operation arranged.”
Hylda sneered inwardly, but her face looked very helpless anyway. “Talk to her nicely and don’t make
things worse. Otherwise, your image in thepany will be affected. A fresh graduate like her only
wants to climb the socialdder and take shortcuts. Offer her more money and try your best to satisfy
her.”
Albert agreed with her and grabbed her hand before he gently said, “Get some rest, then. I’ll go over
there now.”
“Okay. Try to settle it peacefully,” Hylda said.
As soon as Albert stepped out of the door, the helpless look on Hylda’s face immediately disappeared,
and she said in a deep voice, “Ian follow him and see if he’s really going to do as he said, or he’s just
trying to fool me.”
“Okay,” Ian said and left.
When Albert came out of the ward, he coincidentally saw Xenia talking on her phone in the hallway.
Xenia saw him, and she was stunned for a moment. Then, she turned around and was about to walk
away.
Albert quickly went after her and grabbed her hand. ’Didn’t the doctor say there’s another checkup in a
while? Where are you going?”
Xenia anxiously moved her hand away as her lips trembled. It took her a few moments before she
could speak. “Does your wife want me to have an abortion?”
Albert paused and did not know what to say.
The look on Xenia’s face instantly turned dejected when she saw how Albert just kept quiet without
saying anything. After a few seconds, she said in a breathy voice, “Can I have two more days with my
baby before I do that?”
Albert felt a bit conflicted, but he hardened his heart as soon as he thought of Hylda. “Get it done as
soon as possible for everyone’s sake.”
Xenia’s face turned pale as her eyshes trembled slightly. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she held
them back without letting them roll down.
