Henrick’s words caused Cindy to blanch fearfully as her heart pounded wildly in her chest.
Did Henrick find out about Matthias and me? Is he suspecting that the child isn’t his?
At once, her palms turned clammy.
She convinced herself that Henrick merely wanted to know how old the child was.
Cindy cast a nervous glance at the doctor, who answered, “She’s three to four months along.”
“Three to four months,” Henrick repeated. A look of relief washed over his face, and he finally allowed
himself to beam happily.
Three to four months ago, Matthias was managing Cindy’s branch office overseas. We had sex at least
once a week back then, which means the child is mine!
As the doctor wanted to help Arielle out, he offered, “If you want to know the exact date, we can carry out
a thorough checkup for you for free.”
Cindy rejected his offer at once. “No need. I shall do that at another hospital. Thank you, though.”
As she was insistent, the doctor had to give up.
He shot Arielle an apologetic gaze before leaving with the nurse in tow.
Arielle didn’t blame him, for Cindy was indeed too heartless.
She’ll get a taste of her own medicine someday!
With a polite smile on her face, Arielle congratulated Henrick, “Congratulations, Dad. You’re going to
have a son!” She paused before adding, “No, I should congratulate myself as I’m going to have a
younger brother soon.”
Her words struck a chord with Henrick.
He flashed a grin and gazed at Cindy affectionately.
“Cindy, you did a great job. If I knew you were pregnant, I wouldn’t have sent you to the psy… To that
place.”
His comforting words reassured her anxious heart.
After heaving a sigh of relief inwardly, she put on a surprised but shy smile and offered, “I’m no longer
young, so it’s quite embarrassing to say it out loud. At least you can finally be proud of me if I’m pregnant
with a son.”
Henrick’s heart softened at her words.
Looks like the rumors at the psychiatric hospital are fake. Not all doctors and nurses are kind souls. For
example, that b*stard from earlier!
At once, Henrick’s suspicion faded away as he gazed at
Cindy lovingly.
He now felt increasingly remorseful. It wasn’t easy for us to end up together. I shouldn’t have suspected
my wife.
With that thought in mind, he ignored the others and pulled her into his arms.
“Don’t be embarrassed. This is good news! Mom will be delighted to hear about it. A few months later, I
shall announce to everyone that I have a son, an heir!” He guffawed in excitement.
Everyone shot him confused gazes, but he ignored them as he was too delighted at the news.
All the while, he had been yearning for a son, so much so that he even entertained the thought of getting
a mistress to bear him an heir to inherit his fortune. Now, his wish had come true.
Cindy leaned into his arms shyly and sneaked a peek at Arielle.
