Chapter 10 Do You Really Think That I Will Accept an Illegitimate Child?​

“Bring her to the hospital now.”


Kennedy’s voice was so cold, “Check if she is really pregnant. Let me know about the outcome as soon as possible.”


Nathan immediately nodded, “Roger!”


“No!” Charlotte began to struggle mightily, “Kennedy, we are just husband and wife in name. Who are you to order to them to do something like that to me? Let me go!”


“Let you go?” Kennedy’s gaze was as dark as the night. He replied coldly, “If I discover that you are pregnant, you should know what would happen to you. Nathan, bring her away.”


After confirming that she was not the one whom he was looking for, all traces of compassion for her in Kennedy’s heart dissipated into the thin air.


“Bring her to the hospital now.”


Nathan started to carry out his task.


Although Charlotte was against this, she was still being forced to board a car.


Throughout the journey, Charlotte had put up a good right, but she couldn’t break free from their captivity no matter what. She was once again at the same hospital and facing the same doctor from before.


When the other visitors saw that this group of men returned to the hospital only after a while, they automatically cleared a path for this group.


They could discern that this group of men could not be offended. They looked ferocious and intimidating.


Nobody wanted to offend them.


Throughout the tests, Charlotte was forced to go through everything against her will. She didn’t know how much time had elapsed ever since.


After the tests were done, Charlotte and the outcome report were once again brought to Kennedy.


Nathan bore a serious look on his face, and after shooting a pitiful glance at Charlotte, he handed the medical report to Kennedy.


Kennedy didn’t reach out to accept it. He simply asked coldly, “What’s the outcome?”


Nathan paused slightly before revealing the answer, “She’s indeed pregnant.”


In an instant, the armour she had tried very hard to clad herself with was shattered just like that.


Her pregnancy was now known to Kennedy. How could she continue to stay with the Moore family after this?


As expected, Kennedy shot her a piercing gaze, “You want me to shoulder this burden? Not so fast. You are not worthy for me to do that.”




Charlotte looked up at him with hopeless eyes.


“Can you give me some time? I am in the dark about my own pregnancy too.”


“Oh?” Kennedy raised his eyebrows, “Are you telling me that you don’t know about anything, yet you appeared at the hospital because you want to abort that child?”


When she heard that, Charlotte froze momentarily.


Indeed, she wanted to deal with this matter secretly.


However, thoughts of aborting this child never crossed her mind.


Kennedy suddenly lashed out and grabbed her chin. His eyes contained a storm brewing in the horizon, “Shall I offer you a chance here? If you want to stay with the Moore family in the future, go abort your child.”


Charlotte’s pupils widened gradually. Aborting that child?


“No, I can’t do that!”


“You can’t do that?” Kennedy gazed at her sarcastically, “Do you really think that I will accept an illegitimate child?”


An illegitimate child?


Charlotte’s colourless lips shuddered slightly.


She didn’t expect that she would become pregnant in the first place.


“How is it? Have you thought things through?” Kennedy’s eyes were as cold as the night sky. His words were poison itself, “Do you really think that I will accept your child with your previous husband now that you’re in the Moore family? Or is it more likely that you are looking down on me because of my handicap?”


Charlotte shook her head hastily.


“I never even thought of that.”


She was surprised at her own pregnancy as well! During the two years she was with Aldrich, he never even had sex with her!


She wouldn’t be able to anticipate herself losing her virginity in that rainy night. For sure, she wouldn’t have predicted that she would be pregnant after just that one time.


Everything came towards her like a huge wave, threatening to blow away Charlotte.


“I beg you!” Charlotte knew that she couldn’t get pregnant no matter what, because this alone would snatch away her right to stay in the Moore family. At worst, she would be sent back to the Wilson family. By then, the Wilson family would become the laughing stock of B City.






“Please give me some more time!”


“Alright, I’ll give you just that.” Kennedy revealed a scary smile, “For a hypocritical woman like you, I definitely need to give you some time to deal with this. Three days. I will give you three days, and you have to get rid of that child.”


Charlotte widened her eyes in horror.


“If that illegitimate child is still in your belly after three days, then you’ll have to get lost from the Moore family.”


After saying that, Nathan pushed Kennedy away and they left.


Charlotte was all alone at the moment. She was sitting on the ground and her limbs felt so cold.


After a long time, Charlotte took out her phone and called her good friend.


After half an hour, Diana arrived to fetch her.


Charlotte was sent to Diana’s home in a hopeless and forlorn state.


“Tell me, what happened?” Diana poured her a glass of fruit juice and said, “This is to calm you down.”


Charlotte accepted the glass, but after deliberating slightly she put down the fruit juice.


There was a new life taking shape in her belly. She shouldn’t simply drink anything with ice.


At that moment, Charlotte suddenly realized something to her horror.


Why did she… care about this child so much?


“What’s wrong? Don’t you always like fruit juices?” Diana watched her putting down the glass of fruit juice onto the table with a surprised look on her face.


“I can’t drink it anymore.”






“Why so?”


“I’m pregnant.”


Diana couldn’t comprehend the meaning behind her words at first, so she nodded after a moment, “There’s nothing wrong with that. You should be pregnant after going through two years of marriage.”


“I have gotten a divorce a month ago.”


“What?”


“And I have remarried after that.”


“Wait, Charlotte. Can you slow down? You remarried again after divorcing your ex-husband? What are you talking about? Let me process your words.”


Diana covered her chest and made a shocked expression on her face.


Charlotte explained the recent happenings, and only by then did Diana finally understand, “So you mean you are the missus of the Moore family now?”


“It’s just in name. I think I will lose that identity soon.”


“I want to strangle you so badly.”


Diana suddenly jumped up and acted like she was going to strangle Charlotte, “How could you only tell me such a striking piece of news after so long? Aren’t we best friends? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”


“Everything happened so suddenly. I am at a loss as to where I should begin my explanation.”


“You should still tell me no matter what. This is serious business.” After giving it some thought, Diana suddenly suggested, “I’ll accompany you to the hospital to get rid of the child.”


Charlotte’s suddenly raised her head in response to her words, “You want me to get rid of the child?”


“Or do you want to continue bearing the child? You don’t even know who the father is! Charlotte, please don’t be insensible. Who knows what kind of a man that child’s father is. You have to abort him no matter what!”


Diana replied with a grave expression.


“But, this is still a new life in my belly. Isn’t it too cruel to kill him off?”


Charlotte lowered her gaze onto her stomach and caressed it, “This is still a budding life.”


“Don’t you have such extraneous thoughts. The baby isn’t even alive yet! If you don’t do anything now, you’ll regret in a few months!” At this point, Charlotte was fuming with indignation, “What are you thinking? That child belongs to a stranger. If you don’t get rid of that child, you can’t continue living with the Moore family. If you return home, do you think that your parents would forgive you?”


Diana’s words were like a wake-up call. She jerked her head upwards and stared Diana into her eyes.


She was right. In order to continue to stay with the Moore family, she couldn’t continue bearing this child.


Were there other alternatives for her?
