Chapter 77: Pregnant woman Chapter 77: Pregnant woman Although Harry Collins was seriously injured, his body had mostly recovered after a week of special care.
After all, young people tend to recover quickly.
Elder Lady Collins looked at her most beloved grandson. He was still handsome, but the carefree and arrogant air he used to carry was gone, replaced by a pervasive gloom that couldn’t be dispelled.
“Grandma,” Harry called quietly, trying his best to force a smile.
Normally, among all her grandchildren, Harry was the one who could always make Elder Lady Collins and Patrick Taylor happy with his words. Clearly, he no longer possessed his usual spirit, and it was unlikely he would ever regain it.
Elder Lady Collins steadied her thoughts, took Harry’s hand, and gently patted it.
“Harry, Grandma has already investigated those people for you.”
“Really?” Harry’s question was simple.
Elder Lady Collins frowned slightly and said, “I’ve had someone verify the claims of all the women who said they were pregnant with your child. There was indeed a woman named Hailey who gave birth to a child. However, upon verification, the child is not a Collins, but the offspring of another wealthy man’s extramarital lover.”
Upon hearing this news, Harry’s heart took a hit. It wasn’t unbearably painful, but it was a subtle humiliation for him.
He played with women like they were toys, and they used his family connections to try and gain entry into the Collins family by any means necessary. Even when they slept with him, who knew how many fallback options they had? Perhaps he was just one of their backups all along.
With this thought, his hand clenched tightly into a fist.
Seeing her grandson’s reaction, Elder Lady Collins just patted his hand gently once more.
This time, the corners of Elder Lady Collins’s eyes showed a slight smile as she said, “Though those women aren’t reliable, there is one who should be.”
Seeing the smile in her eyes, Harry instinctively blurted, “Who?”
“Amelia Wilson,” Elder Lady Collins slowly spoke the three words.
“How could it be her?” Harry’s first reaction was denial.
“I think she’s quite good. If you marry her, it can solve the child issue and also ease the tension between you and Arnold Johnson,” Elder Lady Collins said shrewdly.
In wealthy and powerful families, there are never permanent grudges, but only eternal interests.
“I understand what Grandma means.”
Harry knew that if it were any other woman, he could choose to marry her or not at will.
However, it just happened to be Amelia Wilson. He not only had to marry her, but also had to coax her into marrying him.
Elder Lady Collins understood the mental barrier Harry was facing, but now was not the time to consider such difficulties.
“Amelia Wilson has scheduled an abortion in seven days,” Elder Lady Collins said, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes, “I’ve already ordered the hospital not to perform the procedure for her, but we can’t guarantee there won’t be any changes later.”
“Grandma, I know what to do,” Harry replied indifferently.
“As long as Grandma is here, I will definitely keep the child for you,” Elder Lady Collins placed her hand on the back of Harry’s hand, gently comforting him.
