Wait, She’s a Billionaire

“El, what’s the matter?” Sheena waved her hand in front of his eyes, smiling. “Are you nervous because it’s going to be your first time being a father?”

Elliot snapped back to reality, smoothly answering, “Yes, I’m just too excited.”

Gently, he arranged Sheena’s hair, crouched down to help her with her shoes, and then lifted her into

his arms.

“Let’s go home.”

The curious nurses peeked out, observing the affectionate couple in envy.

Sheena blushed and buried her face in Elliot’s neck.

“Eli, you don’t always have to spoil me like this. I can walk perfectly fine on my own,” Sheena protested.

With a slight smile, Elliot replied calmly, “Even the doctor said we need to be extra mindful because you’re having twins. Your morning sickness might get stronger in the future. I can’t stand by and let you suffer; I have to do something.”

Feeling sweet inside, Sheena allowed him to carry her through the quiet hospital staff corridor and all the way to the car.

Back at E&S Haven, Sheena sat on the bed, still contemplating the wonders of life while holding the medical report.

Sitting cross–legged beside her with a book on his lap, Elliot seemed engrossed in reading, yet his unblinking gaze suggested his mind was elsewhere.

Sheena rested her head on his thighs, playfully asking, “Eli, for the twins, do you hope they’re both boys, both girls, or perhaps a boy and a girl?”

Elliot did not answer, still staring blankly at the pages.

“Eli?” Sheena waved her hand in front of his eyes again, bringing him back to the present. “What’s wrong? You seem absent–minded the entire day.”

“Nana…”

Elliot grasped her small hand, locking eyes with her. Recalling Lionel’s words, he took a deep breath, hesitated several times, and finally mustered the courage to ask.

“We… will have more children in the future. Can we… terminate this pregnancy?”

“What are you saying?” Sheena did not catch on immediately. She was momentarily stunned.

Pulling her hand away from his grasp, a sudden chill seemed to sink into her limbs and bones.

“I’m carrying twins this time. How often does one get such an opportunity in life? Why would you…

She simply could not understand.

Remembering Elliot’s recent conversation with Tania and the sarcastic expression on her face, she continued, “so, you believed Auntle Tania’s words? Do you doubt the babies are Nathaniel’s? You don’t trust my feelings for you?”

“I absolutely believe in your feelings for me. How could I ever think otherwise, Nana…”

Sheena avoided his touch, attempting to leave the bed.

Elliot, swift to react, embraced her from behind, resting his head on her shoulder, and urgently explained, “You misunderstood. I impregnated you while the virus was still active in my body. The babies might be born carrying the virus, and there’s a possibility you could get infected too.

“Moreover, Clear has only one dose, and considering you’re now pregnant, you can’t receive these vaccine injections. I just… I can’t risk your health.”

Sheena’s anxious mood gradually settled.

Elliot continued, “So, why don’t we… give up on this pregnancy?”

She questioned, her gaze calm as she turned to face him, “What are you planning?”

“There’s a drug called Mifepristone abroad, perfect for terminating pregnancies in the early stages with minimal harm to the body. Rest for a while, and you’ll recover quickly. When your body is healthy again, we can plan for another baby. How about that?”

Sheena fell silent, staring at the medical report.

Initially unprepared for motherhood when she had just learned about the pregnancy, she had come to genuinely look forward to the arrival of these two babies.

However, Elliot was now cruelly pronouncing a death sentence on them.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
