Chapter 172
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison
Both Elliot and Jasperâs faces stiffened hearing the doctor.
âWhat? You sure my sister is pregnant?â
Jasper asked seriously while Elliot frowned.
âHow long?â
The doctor realized something was odd, he answered carefully.
âItâs still early, it all depends on when was her last menstrual.â
âAre you sure there is no mistake?â
Jasper asked again and the doctor shook his head.
âMr Holland, Ms Holland is pregnant.â
Jasper was in disbelieve, he adjusted his emotion and asked the doctor again.
âMy sister passed out just now, is the baby alright? And her body?â
âHer medical report is fine, sugar level is on the lower side, and she needs balance and nutrients food.â
Jasper didnât know what to say, he kept his mouth shut.
Elliot swept a glance at her son and turned to the doctor.
âYes, thank you.â
Elliot asked Jasper with a stiffened face after the doctor was gone.
âDo you know that your sister has a boyfriend? Is Jason the father? Or someone else?â
Jasper shook.
âSelenaâs routine is work and home, she goes out once in a while during the weekend, but spend most of her time at the police station and home.
Even with Jason, they donât go out that often and donât look like they are in love. Mom, was Selena raped?â
Elliot analyzed her son to see if he was lying.
She knew Selena love Jasper and Elliot was afraid that they might end up together.
They were siblings, though not blood related but they must not be together.
âLetâs ask her when sheâs awake.â
Elliotâs heart was heavy, she didnât know why but she sensed that something was wrong.
Selena woke up half an hour later.
She then realized she was in the hospital. She looked at her mom and brother sitting at the side and asked.
âWhy am I here in the hospital?â
Jasper hadnât replied and Elliot asked.
âSelena, did someone bully you?â
Selena shook in confusion, Elliot continued.
âDoctor told us you passed out due to malnutrition because you are pregnant. Who is the father? Jason?â
A bomb exploded in Selenaâs head when she heard her mom.
Pregnant? How possible?
Selenaâs lips trembled, she was nervous. Jasper saw her expression and asked.
âDid someone bullied you? Selena, Jason? Tell me, I will avenge you!â
âNo... No one bullied me...â
Selena explained nervously while Jasper asked again.
âWell then who is the father? Do you have a boyfriend? Call him up and we will discuss about marriage.â
Selena couldnât think anymore, she didnât know what to say.
If she said someone raped her, her brother and mom will definitely avenge her.
But, if she lied about the father, she couldnât think of anyone who would lie with her.
Her face turned white when she thought of her brother who was also the father of her child, she dared not utter a word.
âJasper... Itâs not like that, I visited the pub and didnât know who the father is.â
Selena told a lie at the end.
âSlapâ Elliot threw a slap onto Selenaâs face.
Jasper was astonished.
âMom, why did you slap her? She is the victim!â
Elliot was infuriated.
âStop defending her! I told her to love herself and not to get involved in a complicated relationship, but look at her now! Sheâs pregnant and doesn't know who the father is? What a shame to the Holland family!â
Selena felt her cheek was burning, but she dared not speak, she kept her head low.
âMom, it had happened, stop saying things that hurt her. Sheâs pregnant, we need to solve the problem instead of fighting. Selena, this is an accident, since we donât know who the father is, letâs go for abortion.â
Selena looked at Jasper in tremendous shocked hearing what he said. Her lips trembled nonstop.
This is the child of her and her brother, she would never give up.
Elliot nodded in agreement.
âYour brother is right, you donât need to keep the baby since you donât know who the father is. Selena, you are still young, you need to get married and have a family. Who will want to marry you if you have a child now? Do you want to marry a commoner? A daughter of a family like us will never marry others bringing a child out of wedlock. Listen to me and arrange for an abortion.â
âI want to keep this child, I like children...â
Selena gathered her courage and uttered the words looking at Elliot and Jasper.
Elliotâs face turned green, she raised her hand but was stopped by Jasper.
âMom, calm down, let me speak to her, sheâs still young, donât get angry.â
Elliot was infuriated. She had enough headache knowing her adopted daughter fell in love with Jasper, she loved her as her own.
So she arranged for her to be married to Jason, a proper family.
Jason had a good family background and he was a proper man, they grew up together and would treat her well.
She had made a very good arrangement for her but she slept with others and got pregnant. She was angry and sad at the same time.
âStop defending her! If thereâs a man she loves, bring him to me and they shall get married and give birth to the baby! But she wants to keep the baby without knowing the father, now, how can I calm down?â
Elliot shouted while Jasper comforted her.
âMom, Selena is still young, letâs take it slowly.â
âSelena, apologize to mom now, what did you say? Being a single mom, are you insane? Even though we could afford to raise a child but why do you want to be a single mom? Itâs not worth it.â
Jasper was a womanizer, he was used to the scams between women, using a child as a weapon to get married.
But she was his sister, he had to put himself into her shoes.
He understood if she was in love and wanted to give birth to the child of her loved one, but a stranger? It was not worth it.
Selena dared not speak, she knew her reason was not solid enough.
But if she insisted, it would only make things worse.
âYes, I just... Like children so much... Jasper, Mom, please arrange the abortion for me...â
Selena thought she could agree with her brother and mom for now.
And tried fleeing from the hospital later. She wanted to go overseas and give birth to the child.
This was the only thing she could ever have with her brother in her entire life.
Selena thought there will never be anything between her and Jasper, but this accident had given her a chance to own something that belonged to both of them. She would never give up.
She needed to think of a way to escape from the hospital.
Elliot calmed down seeing Selena agreed to an abortion.
âSince you agree, I will arrange the abortion, Selena, donât blame me, thereâs plenty of opportunities for you to be a mother in the future, and now is not the time.â
Selena nodded sadly.
âMom, I understand, I wasnât thinking straight just now.â
Jasper knew abortion caused harm both physically and mentally, so he comforted her.
âSelena, there are tons of good man in the world, I will arrange blind dates for you every month until you met someone you loves and you can have a baby with him.â
Selena smiled helplessly, she was now trying to keep the baby of the man she loved.
But she couldnât say it out, she could only make fake promises in front of her mom and brother.
Selena fainted just now, so the doctor didnât recommend surgery immediately, he advised monitoring her condition for a few days in the hospital first.
Selena let out a sigh of relief, there was plenty to prepare if she wanted to escape.
The Holland was a powerful family, they could easily find her if her escape plan wasnât perfect.
Both Jasper and Elliot didnât know her plan, they thought she agreed and that was it.
Elliot went home without worries and instructed the kitchen to prepare chicken soup and some nutritious soup for maternity.
While Jasper went back to the office.
Selena on the other hand called Jason. It was only Jason who knew the truth.
Selena thought only with Jason's help that she could escape and stay hidden from the Holland.
âJason, I need a favour,â Selena said after the call was connected.
She told Jason that she was pregnant as well as her mom and brotherâs response.
âJason, I want to keep this child, I want to escape from here, can you help me?â
Jason was stunned, he didnât say anything for a moment and then asked carefully.
âSelena, he is your biological related brother, you canât have his child, the child will turn out mutant, this is common knowledge and you should know it. And I didnât know that you are in love with your brother, you are still young, thereâs still time for you to turn around, I will never reveal what happened that night, but I disagree with your intention to keep the child. Itâs not fair for your brother and it will harm you.â
Selena sobbed.
âJason, neither you nor Jasper knew that Iâm not his biological related sister, I am adopted. Jasperâs parents are my adopted parents, no outsider knows about this...â
Jason was shocked, he really didnât know about this.
âSelena, donât lie to me about this, are you telling the truth?â
Selena explained what happened to her.
The Holland had a daughter but was kidnapped along with Jasper. Jasper saw his sister murdered before his eyes and had since developed psychological issues.
She was adopted later and Jasper thought his sister was back, and their parents kept this secret until now.
They were afraid that Jasper couldnât handle the trauma once the truth was revealed.
Selena knew all these, she didnât want to reveal it but only Jason could help her now.
Jason would not help if she didnât explain this.
âSo that was what happened. I trust you, Selena... In fact, Jasper is an adult now, he couldnât handle his sisterâs death before but Iâm sure he could now. Do you really want to keep it secret forever?â
Tears rolled down from Selena's eyes.
Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison ï¤Chapter 171 Selena Is Pregnant The Unexpected Marriage ï¤Chapter 251 What's The Use Of You Have I Told You Lately ï¤Chapter 147 It must Feel Good to Have Him Drive Me to Work âJason, I want to but I canât... I'm not that selfless, I might tell the truth if Jasper like me as a woman, but he treats me only as his sister, not a woman.
I canât do that, I canât pollute his love, I feel myself disgusting, I canât let Jasper know that I have this kind of twisted feeling towards him.â
Jason didnât have a sister, Selena grew up with them and he always treated her as his sister. It pained him seeing what happened to Selena.
âI get it, I will think of a way but both your mom and brother would be angry with your escape.â
âI canât care much, they wonât let me keep this baby, I canât... And I donât want to argue with them either, the best thing is to leave. They might be angry, but they will accept as time goes by... I will be depressed if Jasper and Mom force me to undergo an abortion.â
âOkay, I will arrange for you to go abroad and make you a fake passport so that they can't track you. Wait for my call at the hospital, I will call you with a different number so they wonât know it was me that helped you.â
Selena nodded. âThank you, Jason, I know Iâve troubled you but youâre the only one that could help me now, Iâm sorry.â
âNo worries, you are just giving birth to a child, not doing something evil, Jasper and his mom might be angry but they will be fine in time. Donât feel guilty, you are a mother with the right to keep the baby in your womb.â
The war online continued, Robert was in his villa when he received a call from Ivan.
âRobert, I had some people check all the documents in my computer to see if they could restore my deleted files, guess what I found? My black box was connected to the cloud, all videos were automatically stored there. I rarely use the account, so I forgot about this. My men discovered this cloud account and Iâm logged in now and managed to retrieve the video about the accident.â
