Chapter 69


    When the doctor and the nurse left the ward, they saw rence. The doctor asked, “Are you her family.


    The patient…”


    rence withdrew his lines of sights and replied coldly, “I’m not.”


    “Then you…”


    “I just walked pass here.”


    The doctor was rendered speechless.


    “How could you stand at the door and look into the ward for a long while if you just walked pass here?”


    The doctor thought in his heart.


    When the doctor was about to leave, rence suddenly spoke, “She always has problems with her


    stomach. Please have a check on it.”


    The doctor was stunned, “Stomach upset? What are the specific symptoms?”


    “Nausea and keck.”


    The doctor smiled gently, “Although it was the symptoms for stomach upset, I have to say that nausea


    and keck are the normal reactions of pregnancy since the patient has been pregnant for four months.


    Don’t be so nervous.”


    rence, who was originally fixing his eyes on Ste, narrowed his eyes when he heard the words. His


    eyes became cold, “What did you say?”


    “Nau… Nausea and keck are the normal reactions of pregnancy. Don’t… don’t be so nervous.”


    “Others?”


    The doctor replied tentatively, “The patient has been pregnant for four months?”


    rence was suddenly lost in thoughts and the words that Ste said to him before popped into his


    mind.


    ‘Don’t you always want to know what I am thinking? rence, I am pregnant, and I need to n for the


    future of my baby. I want half of your inheritance, and also the stock of the Conrad Group…’


    ‘Maybe it’s because I’ve never been on a catwalk before so I’m a little nervous. Whenever I’m nervous,


    I’ll get sick to my stomach and want to vomit. I’ll be fine after it’s over.’


    ‘I just found out that my…antacid is missing, I don’t know if I’ve left it in your office…’


    ‘It’s not mine. It’s Sherry’s… She is getting married soon with her boyfriend and they are preparing to


    have a baby.’


    ‘Isn’t Sherry preparing for pregnancy? As the child’s future godmother, it’s normal for me to buy these…


    things.’


    Her lies were full of holes, yet he believed her words.

    After the doctor’s departure, rence closed the door and walked into the ward.


    Standing in front of Ste’s bed, he said with an indifferent and contemptuous expression, “Ste, you


    really regard me as a fool. I know your personality and quality, yet every time I was still fooled by you.”


    Ste, who was lying on the bed, didn’t have any reaction.


    rence looked down and found that although she was unconscious now, she was still protecting her


    belly with her hands covering it.


    Four months.


    She was really good at acting and he didn’t know about her pregnancy at all.


    …


    Ste wasn’t clear how long she had been sleeping. When she finally woke up, she felt muddle-headed


    and very ufortable. After several seconds, she finally became conscious. She recalled the scene


    when she fell into the swimming pool and immediately touched her belly.


    Sending that the child was still safe and sound in her belly, she heaved a sigh of relief. She turned


    around as she wanted to know where she was for the time being, but her gaze met with a pair of ck


    cold eyes in the air.


    Ste suddenly bounced up from the bed and sat on the bed with the quilt in her arms. She looked


    quite nervous, “Mr… Mr. Conrad, why are you here?”


    rence replied in a t tone, “Who knows. Maybe I just walked pass here.”


    Ste conjured up that it was rence who helped her out of the swimming pool before and


    uncontrobly tightened her grip on the quilt. She asked gingerly, “Mr. Conrad, was you who sent me to


    the hospital?”


    rence simply fixed his ck eyes on her. He didn’t reply.


    Feeling uneasy, Ste shifted her gaze away. Why was rence starting her like this? She felt really


    uneasy under his gaze.


    After a short while, Ste looked out of the window. Looking at the blue sky, she found a topic, “I’ve


    been sleeping for the whole night. Sorry to bother you, Mr. Conrad. I can contact my friend toe


    here.”


    rence asked, “Which friend?”


    “Er… Sherry. You’ve seen her before.”


    rence replied with a light nasal sound, “Didn’t you say that she’s preparing for pregnancy? Is she


    pregnant now?”


    Ste didn’t know why he suddenly asked this. Feeling uncontrobly nervous, she replied without a


    second thought, “May… Maybe.”


    “If she’s pregnant, how can shee to the hospital to take care of you?”


    “Er… It doesn’t matter even if she can’te here. It’s just that I swallowed too much water before. It’s


    not a big deal. I guess I can be discharged from the hospital this afternoon.”


    When she finished her words, rence continued slowly, “If I remember it right, she was cheated by


    her boyfriend, but she still wants to give birth to that man’s child under such circumstance. Looks like


    your friend is more lenient than you. You should learn from her.”


    Ste was rendered speechless.


    Was rence crazy?


    Right at this moment, they heard someone knock on the door.


    rence withdrew his lines of sights and said in a t tone, “Come in.”


    Nathan soon appeared in the ward with a Kraft bag in his hand. He put the bag in front of rence,


    “Mr. Conrad, it’s solved.”


    “Okay, you can leave now.”


    Nathan nodded at Ste slightly and then strode out of the ward.


    The door of the ward was closed and only the two of them were left in the room again.


    It was the first time that Ste failed to figure out what rence was thinking. He looked so calm that


    she felt a gush of chill on her back.


    rence threw the Kraft bag to her, “Open it.”


    “What’s it?”


    rence didn’t reply, his expression remaining indifferent.


    Ste could only pick up the Kraft bag and opened it. When she took the things out from the bag,


    rence’s emotionless voice sounded, “Sign the document and you will get half of my inheritance.”


    Ste paused. She looked up at him and asked in a husky voice, “Mr. Conrad, what do you mean?”


    “You requested for it, didn’t you? You want half of my inheritance. Or are you regretting it now? You


    want more?”


    Ste remembered clearly when she requested rence for this.


    No wonder that rence acted abnormally just now and asked her about Sherry’s preparation for


    pregnancy. It turned out that the question was intentional.


    It seemed like he had learned about the truth.


    Ste put the document back to the bag and remained silent. After a long while, she asked, “What do


    you want me to do?”


    rence replied in a cold voice without a second thought, “Abort the child.”


    Although Ste had expected this answer, she still felt like her heart was stabbed by a knife and it


    ached so much. She felt breathless under the sharp pain.


    “I haven’t expected that Mr. Conrad would be so generous. It’s just an unborn child, but you can ask me


    to give it up at such a high cost.”


    “You do not lose.”


    It was true that if she gave up the child, she would get arge amount of money.


    “But if…” Ste bit her lower lip tightly until it began to bleed. She then continued in a hoarse voice, “If I


    want to keep it?”


    There was no expressional change on rence’s face, “You don’t have any reason to keep it.”


    Ste chuckled. Yeah, in his eyes, no matter her pregnancy was real or fake, he had drawn the


    conclusion that she approached him for the sake of money.


    Now he gave him an opportunity to get half of his inheritance and she just needed to give up an unborn


    child. Did she have any reason to refuse this?
