Chapter 470
470 Reunion
Jeslyn awoke to find herself in what looked like her room. She thought it was a figment of her
imagination, so she just stared fixedly at nothing in particr.
The door cracked open and closed but Jeslyn didn’t turn to see who was there, thinking it was either
Reuben or the team of doctors.
She waited to hear those annoying footsteps but nothing drifted to her ears after so long. Curious, she
was about to turn when the space beside her dipped.
Jeslyn’s eyes widened in rm and she immediately sprung up. Before she could clearly see who it
was, she sent a fist towards the person’s neck.
“Go to hell!!”
However, the blow was deted and what came to view was her husband’s charming face.
“Candy floss, it’s me,” he whispered.
Jeslyn’s mind froze, unable to react to the surprise in front of her.
“Your Plum is back, honey,” he moved closer to her and pulled her into a tight embrace. “I’m sorry,” he
added.
His familiar smell and warmth invaded her senses, snapping her out of stupor. Her hands moved on
their own like they’ve got their minds and wrapped him tightly.
“Pl- plum? It- it’s really you… You’re back!”
“Yes, I’m back. Punish me foringte.”
Jeslyn’s tears flowed like a broken tap. Her husband is finally back! She has been saved! Low
whimpers escaped her lips and the next thing, her sorrowful wails apanied it.
Maverick gritted his teeth and held her even tighter than before. His precious wife!
“I’m sorry foringte and causing you pain.” He apologized again and again.
Jeslyn cried even louder as memories of her suffering shed through her mind in session, then her
tears ceased when the thought that she was ‘vited‘ by Reuben crossed her mind.

Like she was holding a hot coal, she pushed Maverick away and scurried to the edge of the bed and
hugged herself.
Maverick was stunned at first, but calmed down in no time.
“Floss?”
“I’m sorry Plum, I- I can’t. I’m- I’m impure!” She cried out.
Maverick shook his head, “No, you’re perfectly fine and-”
“He took advantage of me, and I’m…” her voice lowered as tears clouded her vision. “Why didn’t you
come earlier, plum? Why?!!”
“He didn’t touch you. He confessed to it before I killed him.” He tried to get close to her again but she
moved backward, shaking her head fervently for him not toe close.
Jeslyn couldn’t believe what he was saying. She felt he was only saying that to make her feel better.
But the hickeys on her skin and the wetness was not an illusion. She didn’t imagine them! Then, the
doctors came and confirmed her pregnancy!
“Plum, you are making me feel more horrible. Please stop saying that!” She said amidst sobs.
Maverick couldn’t see his wife having a mental breakdown anymore. Right in front of her, he booked an
appointment with more than ten hospitals.
She wouldn’t believe him if he got Matt to run the test, neither would she believe Reuben’s team of
doctors who were locked up in his torture chambers.
So the only way for her to feel alright would be if she went to ces they didn’t know.
“Let’s go for a test. That should prove that you are carrying
r second child.”
He didn’t wait for her to object before going into the bathroom. A whileter, he returned with a wet
towel, cleaned her face and helped her to the dressing table.
He brushed her messy hair and secured it into a ponytail with a rubber band before ransacking her
wardrobe for something.
Maverick settled for a knee–length blue gown and wore it for her, followed by some t shoes.
All this while, Jeslyn didn’t take her gaze off her husband as he ran around taking care of her.
He is the sweetest person she had ever known!
“You need a mask.” He said after observing her to see what was missing. He fetched her handbag,
mask and sses, before holding her hand and leaving the room.
Jeslyn was having mixed feelings about the whole thing. If the child is Reuben’s, what is she going to
do? Clearly, she wouldn’t want it and neither will she force the child of an enemy on her husband.
Lots of thoughts clouded her mind that she missed the presence of the people in the sitting room.
“Mom!”
Valen ran to the foot of the stairs when he saw his parentsing down. He had missed his mother
and thought she would be excited to see him just like he was, but Jeslyn’s gaze wasn’t looking anything
like his mother’s.
She looked frightened, broken and most of all, sad.
“Mom? What’s wrong with her?”
The child queried. But before Maverick could respond, Pink rolled her wheelchair to him and pulled him
out of the way.
“Your mother just woke up. She has passed through a lot and needs some rest.” She smiled at him,
even though the smile didn’t look happy.
Valen nodded and didn’t bother them anymore and only watched until they left the house.
Inside the car, Jeslyn wouldn’t get close to her husband no matter what, It felt as though she’d stain
him if they got close.
Maverick suddenly felt the urge to kill Reuben again, but unfortunately, the bastard was dead!
The first hospital they arrived at, the head of the hospital personally attended to them. The tests weren’t
hidden from Jeslyn, as per Maverick’s instructions.
He didn’t go for a pregnancy test because Jeslyn might think he already made arrangements with
them. The man was extra careful to not push his wife further into her shell, so they took her for an
ultrasound test once and for all.
The test would be happening in a VIP section anyway, so there was zero chance of result fabrication.
While the ultrasound was going on, Maverick and Jeslyn could see their baby on the ultrasound
machine. Before her confusion could manifest, the doctor smiled.
“Congrattions, Mr. And Mrs. Lu, your family shall be weing a daughter in less than five months.”
The Doctor smiled broadly as she broke the news to the husband and wife.
