âHi, are you Dyl?â Ruby asked politely when she noticed that Dylan sounded impatient. Dylan was stunned. He then said slowly, âYes, thatâs me. May I know why Dewâs phone is with you?â âIâm her mother.â Dew wiped her tears. âSomething happened to her, and she canât talk to you directly right now.
She asked me to tell you that sheâs a month and a half pregnant with your child.â
âWhat?!â
Dylan was in a daze.
He thought he heard it wrongly. He asked again, âDid you say Dew is pregnant with my child?â
âYes, sheâs in the hospital now. The pregnancy report is out, and the baby indeed is yours. What will you do?â
Dylanâs brain was buzzing.
He turned back and looked at his wife, who was sitting in the living room âWell, she isnât as attractive as Dew. Thatâs precisely why I cheated on her.
âWeâve been together for four years, but she couldnât get pregnant. We went for a check â up, and the doctor said there was nothing wrong with us. Once, I heard my wife and her mother say that sheâs actually infertile. She only hid it from me because she was afraid that Iâll take this to heart.
âI got married and went to live with her family because her family is much richer than mine. âDuring the four years of marriage, Iâve fully realized what it meant to be a man. The more glorious I became, the more I wanted a child of my own.
âBut my wife and I canât conceive a child together. In the end, we adopted a child from an orphanage.â
âDyl, if you donât want the child, I will have Dew abort him.â
When he heard what Ruby said, he said it without thinking twice, âNo! I want that child!â
âI can raise the child secretly in Sea City. No matter what, I want a child of my own!â
He walked towards the living room after he ended the call. He sighed and said, âCharlotte, I might need to go to Sea City for a business trip again.â
âItâs alright. Good luck with your work. Iâll look after the house.â The young woman smiled gently. Just as she was about to tell him to be careful, his phone rang again.
Once again, the call was from Sea City. He was a little nervous but kept a calm expression. âLet me pick up this call again.â
He went to the balcony and picked up the call. When he heard what was said at the other end, his eyes widened.
Dew stayed overnight at the hospital.
The smell of the hospitalâs disinfectant was unpleasant, but it was better than staying at the detention center.
She laid on the soft bed with excitement in her gaze. She cradled her stomach and whispered, âBaby, you came at the right time. You saved Momâs life. Be good and come into this world safely, okay?â
At that moment, the ward door opened and a person emerged.
The two policewomen blocked the person and asked coldly, âWho are you? Whatâs your relationship with the prisoner?â
Dylan pushed his cap down. âIâm Dew Daughertyâs boyfriend. The baby in her stomach is mine, and I want to meet her.â
They only let him in after they confirmed it with Dew.
Dew was in disbelief.
âIâve only asked my parents to tell Dylan about the news last night. I didnât expect him to rush over today. âI thought that we were just a one-night stand, but he told the policewomen that heâs my boyfriend⦠âIt looks like he cares about the baby. Well, it looks like Iâll be leaving the detention center soonâ¦?
