âHow can you not go back to Emerald City? Youâre pregnant with your elder brotherâs child, so of course you have to go back to Emerald City!â Jasper blurted out.
After all, Nancyâs bulging belly made it obvious to anyone that she was pregnant.
And before they came here, they had already learned all about Nancyâs situation in the past few months.
They knew that she had been discovered and had been in a coma for five months, during which time she was found to be 25 weeks pregnant.
Nancyâs body suddenly stiffened. âNo, the child is not Mickâs!â This was almost without thinking, instinctively coming out of her mouth.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became awkward, as if it had suddenly fallen silent.
Jasper opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but for a moment he didnât know what to say.
It was Mick who spoke, âYou guys go out first, Iâll talk to Nancy alone.â
The people in the ward filed out.
Only Mick and Nancy were left.
Mick stared at Nancy. âWhy did you say the child isnât mine?â
âBecause⦠the child really isnât yours,â Nancy said.
âThe child is 25 weeks old now. Counting the days, it should be the time we had sex!â Mick said.
âMr. Reed shouldnât think that one time is enough to get pregnant, and besides, you saw me take birth control pills with your own eyes,â Nancy said.
In any case, she couldnât let Mick think that the child was his!
She wants to keep this child, her only family.
âIf itâs not mine, then whose is it?â Mick asked.
âYou donât need to know that. Mr. Reed, have you forgotten that we agreed to be strangers with no pter relationship in the future?â Nancy tried to remain calm.
Her words made Mickâs heart skip a beat.
âAre you blaming me for how I treated you back then? I can apologize, Iâm sorry, I shouldnât haveâ¦â
Mick tried to say.
âNo!â Nancy interrupted Mick.
His humble attitude towards her at this moment made her uncomfortable.
âIâm not blaming you. Iâm the one who should apologize to you. You were kind to me back then. I just want to sayâ¦â She took a deep breath. âThe child is not yours, it has nothing to do with you.â
âThen who is the childâs father? Tell me!â Mick said. He didnât believe there was another man when they were together.
Besides, he knew that when they had sex, it was her first time.
âJust a stranger, I donât know him. After we separated, I had a relationship with that person because of an accident, and thatâs how I got pregnant.â She made up a story.
Making up a non-existent person would make it impossible to prove otherwise.
âAnyway this child is mine, and I will raise him/her well. The child only has a relationship with me!â
Nancy said.
Mick stared at Nancy and suddenly said, âIf you want to know if the child is mine, itâs easy to do a DNA test after the child is born.â
His tone sounded like he was sure the child was his.
âYouââ Nancy stared at Mick, momentarily speechless.
If they really did a DNA test, then everyone would know who the childâs biological father is.
âThis is my child, you have no right to do this!â she protested, feeling guilty.
But this only proved who the child belonged to!
