In the hospital room, Eleanor Sterling lay on the bed, her face full of worry, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
She knew she was pregnant.
But she couldn’t be pregnant. Previously, Fenrir had hinted that Alaric Faulkner’s blood was toxic. She tested it and found it was true.
Later, she had the lab conduct a thorough examination, and the feedback was that the toxicity in his body was very strong, advising her not to rush into pregnancy, as the child might also have problems.
Would this pregnancy affect the child?
Eleanor Sterling touched her belly, not expecting to have a small life inside already. She really liked and anticipated this child.
But given Alaric Faulkner’s situation, she didn’t know if she could successfully give birth to the child.
Eleanor Sterling felt a wave of vexation and began to feel restless.
She kept staring at the ceiling, lost in thought, not even noticing when Alaric Faulkner walked in.
It wasn’t until he was by the bedside that she turned her head to glance at him, "How’s Faye Sterling?"
Alaric Faulkner sat down beside her, reaching out to hold Eleanor’s hand, "I’ve had her temporarily detained. Once you’re feeling better, I’ll take you to see her."
"Hmm." Eleanor Sterling nodded absentmindedly. She thought for a while before asking, "Am I pregnant?"
Actually, she had already checked, but felt more scientific testing was needed to confirm.
Alaric Faulkner smiled gently and said, "Yes, it’s been two months. You’re very healthy."
Eleanor Sterling’s complexion turned unpleasant. She gritted her teeth and said, "Can I have this child removed?"
Hearing this, Alaric Faulkner froze. He stared at Eleanor, asking, "Why?"
Did Eleanor not want to bear his child?
Eleanor sighed, "I feel it’s too rushed, I’m not ready."
Alaric Faulkner stayed silent for a long moment.
Eleanor Sterling didn’t speak either, but the determination on her face seemed to show she had made up her mind.
After a moment, Alaric Faulkner nodded and said, "Alright, if you don’t want it, we’ll proceed that way. I’ll arrange a doctor for you."
Eleanor Sterling closed her eyes, hiding the reluctance and heartbreak in her eyes, "Hmm, arrange it then."
At the door, Estelle Sterling and Caleb Faulkner leaned on the door panel.
The two of them overheard everything Eleanor Sterling and Alaric Faulkner said, and though they were initially thrilled, their faces fell instantly.
Estelle Sterling poked Caleb Faulkner, signaling him to follow her.
They went to a quiet place.
Estelle Sterling spoke, "Sister Eleanor seems not to want a little sister. What should we do?"
Caleb Faulkner, somewhat frustrated, ran his fingers through his hair, "But we want it. Had we known, we wouldn’t have schemed against Eleanor’s mom, making us happy for nothing."
Estelle Sterling sighed deeply. How could they persuade Eleanor Sterling to change her mind?
"I know!" Caleb Faulkner’s eyes brightened, "We’ll inform Great-Grandfather, Great-Grandmother, Great-Uncle, Great-Aunt..."
Upon hearing this, Estelle Sterling thought Caleb’s idea was indeed good. With those people advising her, Eleanor Sterling would surely change her mind.
"Come on, let’s quickly make the calls."
And so, half an hour later, everyone knew about Eleanor Sterling’s pregnancy.
"What! Eleanor doesn’t want it?"
An exclamation erupted from the other end of the phone, "Why wouldn’t Eleanor want it? This is her and Alaric’s child. No, I’ll have to persuade her."
After speaking, the old Madam Faulkner hung up the phone. Googlᴇ search N0velFire.ɴet
Estelle Sterling and Caleb Faulkner exchanged smiles.
It seemed they could soon wait for Eleanor to give them a little sister.
