Chapter 475 Why Don’t You Try Giving Birth
Morning, the next day.
The snow had stopped by the time Leah woke up.
Around the neighborhood, the evergreen leaves had taken on a whitish hue, softly trickling down with
every gust of wind.
Several winter birds perched on the trees chirped noisily, waking Leahpletely from her slumber.
With a yawn, she pulled herself out of bed.
After washing her face, she opened the door to go outside, and immediately heard a loud noiseing
from the living room downstairs.
“Ben Huffington Wright! Don’t bite off more than you can chew! You want me to feed you?! Are you still
dreaming?!” Serena yelled in disbelief.
Leah also thought that Ben’s request was a little overboard. Making her way downstairs, she greeted
the two, “Hi Serena, you guys came early.”
She assumed they would have had to finish the checkup in the afternoon at least beforeing back
here.
Seeing Leah, Serena’s furious expression immediately softened. With a beaming smile on her face,
she waltzed over and wrapped her arms around Leah’s. She said, “Well, I just couldn’t help missing
you. That sly fox has you locked up in your little castle and won’t even let youe meet me in the
hospital, so I had no choice but toe here with one of hisckeys.”
Leah was almostpletely fooled. However, when she saw the solemn expression on Ben’s face, she
asked anxiously, “Don’t tell me Ravensong’s men have snuck their way into the hospital too?”
Hearing Leah’s question, Serena’s smile quickly faded away into a grim expression as she answered,
“That’s right. Just before the sunrise this morning, I had woken up early and noticed something strange
happening outside of the room, so I texted Mr. Howard to send his men over ahead of schedule. Had I
not done that, we might have fallen victim to their poison gas by now.”
Serena’s voice grew agitated as she eximed, “What a bunch of damn cowards! Resorting to such
petty tricks from their dark little corners when they can’t take us face-to-face. How despicable!”
Everyone’s expression turned solemn as the widespread influence of Ravensong weighed on their
minds.
“Hi Mommy, Auntie Serena, Uncle Ben. What are you guys talking about?” Carlotta suddenly appeared
holding a small rabbit doll.
Her chubby cheeks were a little red from the cold winter breeze. Seeing this, Leah hurriedly brought
her into her arms and asked, “Carlotta, did you open the window when you woke up and let the cold
wind blow in?”
Even though she phrased it like a question, there was a surety in her tone.
There was still a lingering chilling from the little girl’s clothes.
Carlotta’s eyes quickly looked away in embarrassment. Clutching tightly on her rabbit doll, she said, “I-I
just saw that it was snowing outside, and wanted to take a quick look. I closed the window back right
away.”
Seeing her mother’s expression turn darker and darker, Carlotta got so nervous she could feel cold
sweat dripping down her skin.
At that moment, Serena couldn’t bear to watch on any longer from the side and pulled Carlotta away.
Feeling sorry for the little girl, she caressed Carlotta’s cheeks and said, “Your Mommy is just being a
meanie. What’s wrong with wanting to see a little snow?”
She turned to Leah and added, “Come on, she’s such a precious little thing. Stop scaring her!”
‘If little Carlotta gets frightened and starts crying, how am I going to y with her?’ Serena thought.

Leah looked at Serena with a nk expression. She already knew what thetter was thinking.
“Serena, my dear, if you love children so much, why not try giving birth to one yourself?”
Hearing this, Carlotta pped her hands excitedly and said, “Yeah, yeah! Auntie Serena, when are you
and Uncle Ben going to have a baby?”
The cutie’s innocent eyes darted back and forth between Serena and Ben, causing the two in question
to turn stiff and awkward.
Ben was evidently more reserved than Serena. His facepletely flushed, he said with much
difficulty, “C-Carlotta, these things take time.”
‘Ms. Coleman doesn''t even think of me like that right now, much less about us getting married and
having kids together.’ he thought.
Serena was also a little thrown off guard and quickly changed the subject, “Having a kid like you to y
with is good enough for me. I’ll be your godmother!”
Carlotta enjoyed ying around with Serena too. However, she still put on an expression too serious
for her stature as she gave thetter some heartfelt advice, “Auntie Serena, you shouldn’t think like
that. Daddy and Mommy are still going to be my number one in the end. Think about it. Once you get
old and can’t move around as much, I’ll need to spend time with Mommy and Daddy, so I won’t be able
to take care of you. That’s why you need to be a mommy too, so that I can y with your baby. Then
once we’re older, we can take care of our own parents.”
Serena had a pained expression from the rebuke and asked, “You little brat. Where did you learn all
this from?”
“TV, of course!” Carlotta answered.
Serena quickly turned to face Leah’s forced smile and said, “I think you should restrict her TV time and
make her watch something more helpful like news or nature documentaries. She needs toy off on
those stupid family love shows!”
Leah couldn’t help but chuckle. Before she could respond, she felt a messagee in from her phone.
It said, “How are you?”
There was no name to the sender, and it hade from a foreign number. At first, Leah thought it was
simply sent to the wrong number. However, after some thought, a certain possibility presented itself,
and she couldn’t help but feel a shiver run down her spine.
Shawn Ford! Don’t tell me it’s him? But he was gone for so long. Still, who else but him would do
something like this?
Seeing the dark expression on Leah’s face, Serena grew anxious and asked, “Cindy, what’s the
matter? Don’t tell me Ravensong is already here?!”
Ben jumped in, “No, that’s not possible. Ms. Victor said that Ravensong had only officially mobilized
their forces yesterday, and immediately after, the Boss locked down all of Pasteria’s airspace. No
unregistered aircraft would be able to make their way in. Even if they were able to sneak in, it would
take them three days at the earliest. And with the Boss’ n already in motion, it’s highly doubtful that
they’ll be able to sessfully infiltrate us to begin with.”
Serena felt a lot relieved by Ben’s words. Seeing his pale face and dry lips, she reluctantly pushed his
wheelchair over to the tableside and said, “You should eat, but I’m not going to feed you.”
The situation was back to square one.
Ben helplessly raised his fully bandaged arms and said, “That brings us back to the question of how I
can eat. Ms. Coleman, would you be so kind as to have one of the servants help feed me instead
then?”
However, Han had already forbidden all the servants in the vi from getting involved with the two of
them.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Coleman. Everyone has their own things to do. If you’re free, can I please trouble you to
feed Mr. Wright?”
Serena was absolutely fuming. Sheined to Leah, “Cindy, what’s with all these people? Are they
telling me that only I can feed Mr. Wright?!”
Leah couldn’t help seeing Serena being put on the spot, and offered to help, “I can do it too.”
Let you do it? That sly fox of yours will have both Mr. Wright and I killed if I did that.
Ultimately, Serena could do little but take over the duty of being Ben’s temporary caretaker.
Under the dark sky, a dry frosty wind billowed, and the onset of snow was gradually approaching with
the setting sun.
Inside the Fetriybia royal pce, Shawn was staring nkly at the message on his phone. There was
still no response, only the message he had sent: ‘How are you?’
His expression turned dark as he asked one of his subordinates, “Have you prepared the machines
needed to process Sarah White’s blood sample?”
