My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire! - Chapter 448
Chapter 447
….
Mary was genuinely distressed. The past few months had been too torturous for her. No one believed her. She had barely reached the three-month mark and was about to have an amniocentesis with Ellis when the reporters threw everything into chaos. She knew that they had provoked Ellis. That was why he had done such a thing. She could even understand Ellis’s actions. But she couldn’t forgive the harm he had done.
Mary gave a bitter smile, feeling a heaviness in her lower abdomen. It had been two hours since she took that pill. Was her child about to say goodbye to her?
As she was deep in thought, she suddenly heard Keira say, “Actually, your child is fine.”
Mary was stunned. “What?”
Then she scoffed sarcastically. “Keira, you don’t have to comfort me. After taking abortion pills, even if the child isn’t lost, it won’t be healthy, so how could it be fine?”
Keira coughed. “Well, I switched the abortion pills with vitamin tablets.”
Mary was dumbfounded.
At that moment, Lewis walked over and explained. “I found out that Ellis had bought abortion pills, so I was extra cautious. I told Keira, and she found an opportunity to go home and switch the pills.”
Mary was flabbergasted. “How did you find out that Ellis was buying medicine?”
Lewis paused slightly. Of course, Keira had forced him to have Ellis sign the divorce papers. Lewis initially didn’t want to meddle in their affairs since it was a matter between husband and wife, but Keira pressed him hard, and he had no choice but to have someone check Ellis’s whereabouts and then stumbled upon this matter.
Lewis coughed. “I saw it by accident.”
Mary, however, frowned. “But my stomach hurts.”
“That’s a psychological effect,” Keira bluntly pointed out the reason.
Mary was speechless.
Keira asked, “Do you feel any different now? Is the pain in your stomach gone, or is it better?”
Mary focused on her belly and realized. “It is getting better.”
Keira then took her by the arm. “Alright, the choice is yours now. Do you want to tell Ellis this news or not?”
After pondering for a moment, Mary finally lowered her gaze. “If I tell him, he probably won’t want to divorce anymore. Better not to say anything.”
Mary didn’t want to take advantage of Ellis. His distrust left her feeling weary in this marriage. She did want a divorce, especially just now—if not for Keira’s intervention, he would have killed their child. She wasn’t such a saint that she would forgive his despicable behavior just because the child was unharmed.
Mary made up her mind and said, “I want to go somewhere no one knows me to get through my pregnancy and live properly.”
“Then go to the South residence,” Keira said. “If you’re alone in a strange place, I’ll worry too.”
The real story behind Ellis’s azoospermia needed to be investigated. If someone was targeting Ellis, then would they harm Mary upon learning that her child was fine? Keira felt that things were getting very complicated.
She helped Mary and got into the car with Lewis. Lewis still played the driver role; this time, Keira sat in the backseat with Mary.
On the road, Mary bowed her head and shed tears. Keira didn’t know how to console her, so she just gently patted the back of her hand.
After wiping her tears, Mary said, “Keira, I’m okay.”
Then she looked at Lewis. “Thank you for your help this time.”
Lewis was about to politely say there was no need for thanks since he only meddled in her affairs out of consideration for Keira. But unexpectedly, the next moment, he heard Mary say, “Keira, I think you should stay with this gigolo. I honestly feel Lewis, that second-marriage man, is unsuitable for you. His wife had just died, and he shamelessly went to the Olsen family to propose a marriage; he’s not a good person.”
Lewis was speechless. He suddenly regretted helping Mary.
The Gill family
Austin stormed into the house, heading straight for Lady Gill.
“Mom, I was toyed with!”
Lady Gill looked at him coldly. “You’re stupid. Who else can you blame?”
Austin threw his phone in front of her. “Look, it’s a trap they set for me! It says Ellis has azoospermia, and I believed them! Now look!”
Pointing at the news playing on the TV, he raged. “The child is his, and the whole scene is a farce, which gives him the opportunity to introduce their new product. They even staged a whole scene, refusing to come out of a car that couldn’t be smashed, acting as if the conflict were real, and their stock price shot up instantly!”
Lady Gill also felt somewhat frustrated upon hearing this. Her face was cold as she looked straight at Austin. “I heard that Miss Keira approached our family for a partnership. She even had someone inquire about us previously, and although I don’t know her motives, this partnership is not happening!”
She angrily picked up Austin’s phone. “And didn’t you verify this report before releasing it?”
When reminded of this, Austin felt even more aggrieved. “I did verify it! He happened to go for the tests at one of our hospitals. Could our doctors deceive me? Who would have known about this twist?!”
Lady Gill immediately signaled the butler with a glance. The butler went to investigate right away. Within five minutes, he returned. “The doctor, indeed, works for us. There’s no mistake there.”
Austin was puzzled. “Then what’s going on?”
Lady Gill said with frustration, “The Olsens have their own hospital. Why would Ellis come to our hospital to run a test? The samples must have been switched! And he’s been setting this trap for a whole month! What a cunning schemer!”
Austin fumed. “The people of the Olsen family are so cunning! They look like decent people, but look at what they’ve done!”
Lady Gill sighed. She exited the text message, about to return the phone to Austin when she suddenly caught a glimpse of an unread message from an unknown sender. It was actually sent by Nara. “Hello, I’m the owner of the jade piece. May I ask who this is?”
Seeing this message, Lady Gill was taken aback. She quickly looked at Austin. “Why haven’t you read this message?!”
Because Austin was very concerned about his sister’s situation, the contact number left in the advertisement was Austin’s.
Austin was stunned, too, and immediately picked up the phone. “I’ve been busy dealing with the Olsen family stuff, so I missed a lot of messages. Could this be my sister?”
Lady Gill urged him. “Make contact with this person!”
Austin immediately nodded. “Right, it must be my sister! With today’s advanced technology, there’s no way someone would impersonate her!”
