Chapter 24


    Emily opened her eyes wearily, her head and body aching. The pungent smell told her that she was in


    the hospital.


    "What''s wrong with me?" Emily asked. Her voice is soft and weak.


    A person was sitting opposite the bed, but her vision was a little blurry, and she couldn''t see who he


    was. But no matter who he was, she wanted to know what was going on with her.


    The man stood up, ced a chair beside her bed, and sat down.


    Only then did Emily see who this man was. He was Franklin.


    "Mr... Mr. Brent." Emily murmured, her voice deadly quiet.


    "There are two messages for you now. Which one do you want to hear first?" Franklin asked.


    "Good news or bad news?" Emily''s heart tightened. Could it be that she was incurably ill?


    Her vision was bing clearer, allowing her to see Franklin''s face clearly. However, Franklin always


    had a poker face, and she could not tell anything from his emotionless face.

    However, they did not know each other at all, so even if she was incurably ill, he would not be sad or


    happy!


    "Both are good news for me, but not necessarily for you," Franklin added.


    "Whatever you want!" Emily was secretly relieved.


    Both were good news for him, so she was not going to die. Even they were not close, he should not be


    happy to know she was dying.


    "Well, the first one is that you are pregnant."


    "Ah?"


    "The second one is that you are severely anemic and malnourished. You are not suitable for an


    abortion. Otherwise, it might be difficult for you to get pregnant again in the future."


    "Ah?"


    "Are they good news or bad news for you?" Franklin leaned forward, almost touching her face, and he


    asked in a low voice. His eyes were alight with curiosity and expectation.


    Emily looked at the approaching handsome face. She waspletely confounded. Her "ah" was only


    subconscious.


    Her mind was nk. She could not think anything, let alone ept the fact that a baby was growing in


    her belly.


    "How... How could I be pregnant?" Emily said weakly.


    Her eyes darkened and she almost passed out again.


    Franklin sat back, looked at her, and said gently, "We didn''t take any precautions that night, and you


    didn''t take any pills after that, right? I''m in good health, and although you''re not, you''ve matured


    physically. It''s not surprising for you to get pregnant."


    "How do I know I should take pills? I''ve never done anything like this before." Emily couldn''t help but


    cry. She had no idea she should do that.


    A hint of a smile yed on his lips, "I am delighted that you have never done that with anyone else


    before."


    "But that didn''t delight me. No, absolutely not. I can''t give birth to this child." Emily immediately shook


    her head and shouted.


    She struggled to get out of bed with a pale face. She wanted to ask the doctor what she should do. The


    words "pregnancy before marriage" were like a mountain pressing down on her, making her breathless.


    She had always been conservative, or else she would have allowed Lucas to have her since they had


    been with each other for 2 years. Now that she was suddenly pregnant, how could she ept it?


    "Didn''t you hear the second news?"


    Seeing that she was about to get up, Franklin pressed her back on the bed with a frown and asked,


    staring into her eyes unhappily.


    "But I don''t want this child. I can''t get pregnant before getting married," Emily murmured.


    Tears streamed down the corners of her eyes, wetting the sheets beneath her.


    Her crying melted Franklin down. He frowned and stared at her unhappily, but he didn''t know what


    should he say to stop her from crying


    After a while, he said in a low, husky voice, "I will marry you. If we get married, then it''s not pregnancy


    before marriage."
