Regardless of Parentage, the Child Should Be Born
The nurses glanced up and blushed at the sight of such a handsome man approaching them.
One of them replied shyly, “I don’t know… Probably over 30…”
Joseph’s expression soured further. He just turned 31 this
year.
“Sir, can we exchange numbers?” the nervous nurse asked.
He let out a cold snort, “I’m already 31.”
The nurse exclaimed, “Oh? Please don’t go!”
‘What’s wrong with being 31? Being handsome is more than enough!’
Inside the hospital, Xavia sat on a bench in the corridor, donning a delicate beige dress accentuated by
a gracefully draped shawl over her shoulders. Her choice of loafers revealed her slender ankles,
adding a touch of vulnerability to her overall demeanor. Seated beside her was Megan Martinez.
Joseph observed Xavia from a distance but refrained from approaching her. Instead, he entered the
doctor’s office where Lucas was already present.
“Mr. Joseph, we’ve conducted a comprehensive examination on Ms. Xavia. Based on the results, the
earliest suitable time for amniocentesis would be two months from now.”
Joseph pondered, his gaze intense and contemplative. The child growing in Xavia’s womb would be
over five months old in two months.
Lucas also pondered the matter, his brows furrowing with concern. “Is it possible to terminate the
pregnancy at five months?”
“Well… If there are any abnormalities or developmental issues with the child, it’s possible to consider
termination. However, for someone like Ms. Xavia, who’s already in a fragile physical state, undergoing
an abortion would pose significant challenges.”
Lucas’ frown deepened. In essence, it meant that regardless of parentage, the child should be carried
to term.
Joseph maintained his composure and nodded calmly. “Please pencil it in.”
“Of course, Mr. Joseph.”
Xavia noticed him emerging from the office and rose from her seat, flashing a coy smile. “The doctor
informed me that we still have two months before the amniocentesis.”
Joseph stood, his hands tucked in his pockets, his sharp features distant. “At five months
pregnant, abortion is no longer an option. Have you made your decision?”
“I made up my mind the day I found out I was pregnant.” Xavia’s eyes brimmed with a bitter sentiment.
“Joseph, it’s incredibly insensitive of you to bring up amniocentesis right away.” Megan came to Xavia’s
defense.
“Let it go, Megan.
“Why can’t I say what’s on my mind? You were also held hostage at the jewelry exhibition. Even though
you managed to escape, it was nothing short of a miracle. But Joseph, there was not a single phone
call or word of concern from you.”
Xavia observed Joseph’s expression through the corner of her eye as she said in a considerate tone,
“Chloe’s condition was even more critical. Joseph did the right thing by prioritizing her.”
Megan let out a sigh. “You always put others before yourself. You were admitted to the hospital after
yesterday’s scare, but no one showed any concern. And now, they wake you up early for an
examination. It’s truly disheartening.”
“That’s enough. Let’s leave the past behind.” Xavia shook her head at Megan, then turned to Joseph
and asked, “Is Ms. Chloe alright? Did those robbers harm her?”
“She’s fine.”
“That’s good. You should head back and take care of her. I can manage on my own,” Xavia said, trying
to hide her disappointment.
Megan, on the other hand, looked at Xavia with frustration as if she found her too understanding.
“Okay.” Joseph remained indifferent, his response lacking any warmth.
Such an attitude was beyond Xavia’s control. Her face stiffened, clearly sensing his lack of
care. In theory, he should have shown some concern for her well-being, but his coldness was hard to
ignore.
Megan had been going along with Xavia’s charade until now, but she could no longer keep up the act.
She was incredulous and could not hold back her words. “Mr. Joseph, she’s carrying your child. How
could you be so cold to her?”
“She’s just the carrier of my child, not the woman I love.”
Those words had a devastating impact.
Xavia’s lips trembled and her back straightened. “What have I done to deserve this?”
Joseph shot back, his voice laced with bitterness, “Don’t you know?”
“What am I supposed to know…?”
“Since you deliberately pushed Chloe toward the robbers, why are you acting innocent now?”
Xavia’s pupils dilated as she vehemently denied the accusation. “I didn’t direct them toward Chloe! The
robbers rejected me because I was pregnant and targeted her instead.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes!” Tears welled up in Xavia’s eyes, glimmering as they clung to her eyelashes. Every movement
seemed carefully orchestrated, blending a sense of vulnerability with unwavering determination. “You
only suspect that I’ve wronged Chloe, but do you know that she manipulated the robbers? She tried to
manipulate my position to appear more important to you than it seemed. If it weren’t for the baby I’m
carrying, I could’ve become their hostage. too!
“Yesterday, when I was held captive, my mind was consumed with thoughts of you. I was worried that
you wouldn’t have a chance to see our baby, worried that I’d be killed right then and there. I never
expressed these grievances to you…
“And I don’t know where you heard all this nonsense. How can you come up and accuse me without
evidence? Joe, I’m no saint. I can feel sadness and pain too!”
“Noah was the one who relayed this so-called nonsense to me, word for word.” Joseph suddenly
realized something, a chilling sensation enveloping him. “No, he didn’t tell me. He showed me the
surveillance footage from that day.”
Even though the camera had been out in the corridor, the dressing room door was left slightly ajar and
the people inside were standing near the entrance, granting them a clear view of everything transpiring
inside.
