Chapter 726: Chapter 726: More Important Than Himself
The seven words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, each word incredibly difficult.
Fearing that Baron Lawrence would drop Giselle, Enna Clark ignored the pain in her wrist and reminded him, “Please, first put Gigi on the sofa.”
Baron’s gaze was deep as he put the little one on the sofa.
Enna gave Giselle a stuffed toy she often played with. Her attention was immediately attracted, and she sat quietly on the sofa, playing with her toy.
Watching her behave so well, Enna spoke without turning her head, “I wasn’t infected, but Giselle’s body…”
Baron Lawrence did not hear the rest but only heard her say she wasn’t infected. His furrowed brows suddenly loosened a little, and he growled irritably, “Enna, did you find out that you were carrying a girl and then decide to hide it from me and leave?”
He wasn’t a fool. As long as it didn’t involve Enna, he was clever and calm enough to make people shudder.
Some things only take a little thought to understand, especially since he could now see the little one. What else couldn’t he figure out?
He recalled the night when Enna had been acting strangely. Just the night before, they had discussed how to handle the fact that the child in her belly was a girl.
At that time, the woman had shown signs of rebellion, but he had thought it was just a passing idea and hadn’t realized that she was already planning to leave him.
The more he thought about it, the more anger rose in his chest.
His grip on her hand tightened even more.
Seeing the look on his face, Enna knew he had misunderstood again. She had not intended to hide Giselle’s existence, so she began to explain everything. “No, my Uncle found a hospital that could determine the baby’s gender in about two months, but the technology at the time was still immature and in the experimental stage. The accuracy rate was only 70%. The day before the exam, I didn’t know the child’s gender, I just asked you. The next day, the results came back, and the doctor said it could be a girl or boy and girl twins. I…”
“Boy and girl twins?” Baron Lawrence’s noble eyebrows furrowed.
“There were no twins. Later, I went back to the Habsden family, didn’t I? Four months later, the doctor did another check and confirmed I was only carrying one child, just a daughter.”
“Since you found out it was a girl, why didn’t you abort it? Why didn’t you come back to me?”
Even if Enna wasn’t infected, Baron Lawrence couldn’t help but worry when he thought about the possibility that she might have been back then! He didn’t dislike the soft and weak little glutinous rice dumpling, but he was genuinely afraid to think about what would happen if Enna wasn’t so lucky and got infected.
That very thought made his blood boil.
There was nothing more important to him than the woman in front of him!
“I don’t know. When the doctor showed me the B-ultrasound photo, I could already see Giselle’s little heart beating, so I didn’t want to abort her.”
Enna’s gaze was so tender it seemed to drip water as she looked at the little girl playing with her toy on the sofa. The little girl seemed to feel her gaze, raised her head, blinked her big eyes, then turned her head to look at the stern man beside her. She opened her mouth and sweetly called out, “Uncle…”
Baron Lawrence’s sharp jawline clenched, and his back stiffened. For once, he didn’t persist, changing the subject instead. “What were you saying about her body?”
