The first thing that came to Gwen's mind was the baby in her womb.
Could Luke have found out about the baby and was bringing her to the hospital to terminate it? The
moment this thought popped into her mind, Gwen immediately suppressed it.
No, this was not possible; Luke could never have found out about the baby.
Two weeks ago, when she first found out about her pregnancy during a routine checkup, she had used
all her savings to bribe the doctor not to tell anyone about the baby.
Despite this, she was still anxiety-stricken, as she could not guarantee whether the doctor, who had
been assigned by Luke to look after her, would be successfully bribed by her ‘gift’.
After all, the people that Luke hired, whether bodyguards, servants, or policemen, held nothing but
utmost respect toward him and thus would never dare disobey him.
During that time, Gwen had lived her days in fear, terrified that Luke would force her to get an abortion
after finding out the truth.
However...
A week had passed since then, and Gwen gradually began to relax.
After all, based on Luke's authority and the amount of time he spent with the doctor, if she wanted to
betray her, she would have told him the truth a long time ago.
The fact that Luke was still oblivious even though a week had passed meant that the doctor had been
successfully bought out.
At the thought of this, Gwen curled her lips into a smile and glanced at Luke.
"Didn't we just go to the hospital for my checkup yesterday? Why am I going again tomorrow?"
Luke shot her a cold glance.
"What do you think?"
"Is it because I'm getting sicker?"
Even though Gwen was confident that Luke did not know about her secret child, she could not help
feeling intimidated by the sharp, almost suffocating look in his eyes.She bit her lip and stared at him
with a puzzled expression.
"I've been feeling quite well recently.I haven't been coughing up blood, and I don't feel as ill as I used to
anymore...so why are we getting another checkup?"
"For your abdomen, of course."
Luke's gaze fell on her belly, a cruel sneer played on his lips as he added, "It's about time we remove
the things that shouldn't even be there in the first place."
The color drained from Gwen's face upon hearing this.She bit her lip and glanced nervously at Luke's
handsome, chiseled face.
"You ...What are you talking about?"
"What am I talking about?"
Luke curled his lips into a smirk and turned to glance at the servants, who were busying themselves by
setting the dining room table.
"I've promised Joshua that we'll stay for lunch today."
Then, he stood up, strode over to Gwen's side, and reached out to clasp her hand.Her hand was as
cold as ice.
Luke furrowed his brows when he noticed this.
"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
Gwen quickly shook her head.
"No...I'm fine.I'm just...just a little nervous."
"There's no need to be nervous."
Luke glanced at her impassively, then added, "What's meant to be known will eventually be found out,
and what's not will remain a secret forever, so instead of being nervous, it might be better to just come
clean with the truth."
