Chapter 210


    However, during their investigation, they found something.


    Back then, Henry had thought that these only happened in soap operas, but unfortunately, he was


    wrong.


    "My aunt had three miscarriages, that my grandmother just couldn''t watch her suffer, you know? So


    she asked the doctor if the couple had any physical condition that could prevent them from having a


    baby,"


    he exined.


    "The result was shocking. The doctor discovered that the fetus couldn''t grow naturally because of


    the abnormalities of the couple''s DNA. There weren''t any infections or abnormalities per se,


    but it''s just that they''re too simr!


    Turns out, my great grandfather and the man''s grandfather were brothers."


    Lea''s jaw dropped as she gazed at him in disbelief. "Is that true?"


    He nodded. "The man''s father is actually rted to us. In fact, he''s one of our rtives. His parents


    divorced when he was a child, so he lives with his mother.


    Although they weren''t part of the immediate family, they''re still rted by blood."


    Henry remembered the shock on his


    grandmother''s face. She was so surprised that she actually locked herself up in a room.


    After a period of time, she had absorbed the idea and started to arrange all the chaos that had


    erupted in the household.


    She might have experienced plenty of disagreements and obstacles,


    but this was the first time she had encountered such a thing.


    The man knew about the results, but Henry''s aunt still knew nothing about it.


    The Qin family all made sure to keep it from her and the outsiders.


    It would be such a disgrace if news were to break out.


    As it could be seen,


    the marriage between them wasn''t a good thing.


    In fact, it could disparage their reputation.


    They chose not to tell Henry''s aunt to not hurt her feelings, but three miscarriages were enough to


    arouse suspicion.


    His aunt was not stupid. Back then, all her family members had agreed with the marriage, but after


    the results, they started voicing their thoughts against it.


    Her brother was the prime example for the matter.


    Finally, after her careful investigation, she found out the results.


    Things were still a mess at home. If Henry told them that he got his girlfriend pregnant


    and that he was also nning to marry her, it would just add salt to the injury.

    His aunt still hadn''t solved her own issues yet, and he was already rubbing his own happiness


    against her face.


    At that moment, it would hurt them more if he cut to the chase.


    "It''s not that I don''t want to inform my family now, but..."


    Before he could finish, Lea waved her hand dismissively.


    "I understand what''s going on. We can wait."


    It seemed that she finally came to terms with his past.


    She rubbed the back of her neck and avoided his intense gaze as she continued,


    "I''ve already epted you the moment I agreed to your proposal. Whatever happens may happen,


    but you''re the only one who I value the most, okay?" She tried to hide her rosy cheeks, but it was


    impossible. In reality, Lea loved Henry with or without the baby.


    Upon hearing her words, Henry felt his throat dry up. He stretched out his arm and held her against


    his chest.


    He had always thought that she only agreed to him was because she didn''t have a choice.


    Being voluntary and being forced were twopletely different things. Although Lea was first


    unwilling to marry him, he had hoped that she wouldn''t agree to him because of the child. He


    wanted her to agree with him because she loved him.


    When he heard her words, he was over the moon.


    "Trust me when I tell you that I''m not hiding you from them. I want to go home and check what''s


    going on. If it doesn''t work out, then we can register first." He gazed at her guiltily. "It''s just that I


    can''t give you a wedding at this time."


    Lea didn''t expect that him would n something like this.


    Henry couldn''t have someone bearing his illegitimate child. As her husband, he was responsible in


    giving Lea a proper, legal marriage.


    But reality was simply too cruel. At this point, Henry was getting restless. ''I came unprepared,'' he


    scolded himself.


    His family was in total chaos and a part of him was afraid that Lea would only get hurt if she married


    him.


    Knowing his n, Lea said, "I don''t think it''s a good idea. Your family might get angry if they knew


    about this."


    Henry smiled. "I''ll be careful. Besides, I''m sure Grandma will be ecstatic when she finds out the


    news."


    Her grandson, who had been living such a dissolute life, was going to get married. And soon


    enough, he was going to give her the greatgrandchild she had always wanted.


    However, with her daughter''s problems, she would be ced under a dilemma as to who she


    needed to prioritize.


    That wouldn''t be good for them.


    That was why Henry nned to tell his parents


    first.


    He didn''t have to worry about them too much. Even if his aunt was in a pitiful situation, their son and


    daughter-inw should be at the top of their priority. They would surely make the appropriate


    arrangements.


    The two decided that Lea would stay at home while Henry would go to his family.


    People had always said that the first three months of pregnancy was one of the most dangerous


    periods. He was worried about her, so he decided to leave Lea in her home first.


    Henry had tried to calm his furious father-inw. At the same time, Lea tried her best to ease her


    father''s frown.


    Relieved, Henry left in a hurry before the old man could change his mind. In fact he had no idea,


    that right after he left, his father-inw had already calmed down. He patted his daughter''s shoulder.


    "It doesn''t matter if the man doesn''te back,"


    he stated, taking her by surprise. "I can always find another one for you."


    Lea bit back augh, nodding obediently.


    "I''ll listen to you, Dad."


    Upon hearing this, her father beamed. "That''s my girl! We can always rece him anytime you


    want."


    Lea answered with a smile. She knew that her father was only ufortable with Henry because


    he thought that the young man had stolen his daughter under his gaze.


    A part of him was also afraid that his daughter would simply forget about him.


    Her daughter''s response calmed him down. After all, Lea knew the best way to deal with her father.


    As soon as Henry''s nended, he called his father.


    He wanted to talk to him first before he called his mother.


    "There''s something important I need to discuss with you," he said cautiously.


    His father frowned. "You cane to thepany."


    Lea called Rachel to inform her of what was going on with her family. Hearing her best friend in


    such a happy mood, Rachel felt happy for her.


    However, there was another thing worrying her— her spected pregnancy. She nced at the test


    kit in her bag.


    Although she still wasn''t sure yet, she couldn''t help but feel scared and excited for what was to


    come.


    Back then, she swore to herself that if she ever found herself to be pregnant, she would give birth to


    the child no matter what.


    Now, she still shared the same sentiments.


    Rachel calcted the time since her period had been dyed.


    When Jack wanted to have sex with her that night, she was unwilling. She pushed him and sat up.


    "I''m going to sleep in the guest room," she snapped. "You''re so annoying!"
