But until now, I knew that it turned out that he didn’t want to have a child with me and had been secretly taking birth control pills.
A month ago, he got drunk at a social event and probably didn’t take the medicine, so I got pregnant with this child by mistake.
He was not enthusiastic about children at first, until half a year ago, he suddenly told me that he wanted a child and started to prescribe various tonics for me. I thought at that time, he had already been involved with Vania and planned to use my uterus as a container.
The funny thing was that I foolishly thought that he was sincerely looking forward to our child.
There was a sound of footsteps in the corridor. Before I could react, the bedroom door was opened. Wilmot saw me kneeling on the ground with red eyes and hurriedly came forward to help me up.
“Wife, what’s wrong with you? The ground is cold, how can you sit directly on the ground?”
He stared at the tear marks on my cheeks and gently stroked them with a distressed look.
“What’s wrong? Why did you cry suddenly?”
The concern and anxiety in his eyes didn’t seem fake. I forced a smile with grief.
“I twisted my foot accidentally and it took a while to recover. Now it’s much better.”
Wilmot was relieved, frowned and whispered, “You are so careless at such an age. If you really get pregnant, can I still rest assured that you will be alone?”
He didn’t notice my abnormality, picked up a bowl of steaming medicine and handed it to my mouth.
“Wife, drink this tonic quickly, I have good news to tell you later.”
I stared at the dark medicine, my eyes were sore.
He knew the side effects of the medicine, but he still insisted on feeding me every day. He didn’t want me to have his child.
I clenched the pregnancy test report in my hand and looked at him with the last glimmer of hope.
“Wilmot, this medicine is too bitter. Can I not drink it? In fact, I also have a piece of news to tell you.”
Wilmot was stunned for a moment, but still insisted on bringing the medicine to my mouth.
“Wife, haven’t you always wanted a child? Why don’t you drink the medicine obediently? Although it’s a bit bitter, it’s all for your own good. You drink it first. I have asked the servants to prepare your favorite candied dates. If there is anything, we can talk after you finish drinking the medicine.”
There was a hint of impatience in his eyes. Whenever someone in the company disobeyed his opinion, he would have this expression and in the end, only others would make changes.
I knew clearly that he was strong, so I stopped resisting. I took the bowl and drank it all in one breath. Only then did he show a gentle smile again.
“My dear wife, Linden just told me that our fertilized eggs have been successfully cultured in vitro. After three days, they will be transplanted into your uterus and we will have our own child!” Wilmot said as he picked me up and spun me around excitedly.
“Wife, are you happy? We are finally going to have a child. You have worked hard these days. I only found out that my sperm quality was not up to standard during the last check-up, which led to our efforts being useless for so long. Fortunately, technology is advanced enough now and we are about to realize our dream! You just said you had news to tell me, what is it?”
I lowered my eyes and said nothing, just shook my head lightly. “It’s not an important thing.” However, as soon as I finished speaking, the pregnancy test report slipped out of my pocket and fell in front of Wilmot. He looked at me suspiciously and was about to reach out to pick it up when the phone suddenly rang.
When he saw the name on the note, his face changed drastically and he hurried out to answer the phone. “Wife, there is an emergency at the company, I have to deal with it.”
I never doubted him before, but today, I could clearly see that the note on the screen was “Vania Baby”.
