Hello, Mr. Brent

Emily looked at him in shock, as if what he had just said was more shocking to her than he said that she was pregnant.

However, Emily came to her senses before long. Yes, how could she forget that he had intended to make her a substitute, but no one had expected that she would get pregnant?

Could this be god's will?

"What if I abort it?" Emily mumbled.

"You may not be able to have children anymore in the future. Since you are in poor health, it can be fatal.” Franklin exaggerated what the doctor had told him.

Emily's face turned even paler. She could not accept either fact.

How painful it would be for a woman not to have a child of her own. Besides, it could be fatal. What would happen to her mother? Who would continue supporting her?

"Why? I'm always the unlucky one.” Emily started to sob.

Franklin stared at her in surprise and asked, "Do you feel so unlucky to marry me?"

He could remember that he had always been the most eligible bachelor. So many girls from respectable families wanted to marry him. Jason had also said that if he wanted to get married, he could choose his wife at his own will as those ancient emperors had chosen their concubines.

He really had no idea that he should be rejected.

"Of course.”

Emily complained to herself. "Who would like to marry you as a substitute for someone else? If your childhood sweetheart comes back, I have to give up my position to her.”

Franklin's face darkened. He felt hurt as if he had been badly insulted. But at the thought that Emily was still in bed, he didn't want to be angry with her or make her unhappy.

At this moment, the nurse knocked on the door and came in. She was here to put Emily on a nutrition drip.

Franklin finally knew that there were still malnourished human beings nowadays. But it had been said by the doctor that most girls refused to eat in order to lose weight now, so it was not rare either.

After the nurse left, Franklin asked Emily again, "Do you want to eat anything? I'll ask Jason to bring some over here.”

Emily shook her head. She had no appetite at this time. Her mind was in turmoil, and she felt that a huge stone was pressing on her chest. Frowning, Franklin stood up, threw back her covers, and sat down with her.

Emily was feeling upset. Suddenly she saw him lying down next to her, she couldn't help but be startled.

She moved aside immediately and said, "Hey, why are you lying down?" "It's late now. I need to rest too.” Franklin took off his watch, showed it to her, and threw it on the bedside table.

She was shocked when she discovered that it was already 12 o'clock at midnight.

But even if he wanted to sleep, he couldn't lie down and fall asleep next to her!

Emily said instantly, "Ask the nurse to provide an extra bed for you!" "This is a VIP ward. Why do I need to get another when I already have a king-size bed?" Franklin said seriously.

"But..."

"No buts. Just go to sleep.” Franklin said emphatically.

Emily, ".."
