Chapter 219
The Contract Marriage
Greta heard what Daphne said and slightly blinked her eyes, âAuntie, donât be anxious. Wait a moment.â
âOkay! Iâm not in a hurry! Iâm not in a hurry! â
Greta took the instrument and checked Vivianâs protruding stomach for a while before looking at the screen in silence. She turned her head to look at Daphne and then looked at Vivian, âIt is a boy.â
âReally?â When Daphne heard Gretaâs words, her eyes immediately widened and she looked at Greta in surprise as she asked back.
âItâs true. Because the child is already very big, it can be seen very clearly. Auntie, donât worry. In another four months, youâll be able to carry a grandson.â Greta looked at Daphne and smiled at the end of her sentence.
âAiya, thatâs great! Thatâs great! Vivian! I told you that you are carrying a son. On the way here, you even told me what to do if itâs a daughter? I said thereâs no âwhat ifâ, right? Ohh, thatâs great! Thatâs great! Thatâs great!â When Daphne heard this news, her entire person became excited.
Vivian looked at Daphneâs excited expression and could not help but laugh, âMom, isnât it just a son?
Look at how happy you are?â
Daphne immediately looked at her daughter-in-law reproachfully, âOf course I am happy! Since ancient times, giving birth to a son is the most important thing in the family!â
Daphne originally wanted to say something more. But when she looked at Greta by the side, she swallowed back what she wanted to say.
Looking at Greta, Daphne unzip her bag and take out the wallet. She took out a thousand yuan and was about to give it to the other party. Greta raised her hand to stop her.
âAuntie, Vivian and I are friends. This is just a small matter. You donât have to take it to heart. Perhaps I will need your help in the future. Quickly put it away.â Greta said that she did not want anything.
âOkay! Then I will keep it first.â Daphne did not insist and put the money back. She wanted to thank Greta properly later.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair came out of the consultation hall and sat in the car of Cooper Family out of Municipal Hospital.
Daphne sat beside Vivian and thought that Vivian had her grandson in her womb, she was so happy that she could not close her mouth.
âVivian, this is great! This time you have to be more careful. No matter what, you have to give birth to my grandson safely.â
Vivian heard Daphneâs words and smiled. âMom, I will be careful.â
âIn the future, try not to go out as much as possible. Donât go to the shopping mall or anything else.
There are many people in that kind of place. It is not convenient for you to go there with a big belly. â
âOkay! I got it, Mom.â
âAlso, donât go back your home often. Itâs not safe on the road. What if thereâs an accident?â
Because of the previous miscarriage, Daphneâs heart had always been traumatized. She kept looking at Vivian by her side and exhorted.
âMom! The last time, it was not something that happened outside. Didnât I fall down on the stairs at home?â
When Vivian heard that Daphne didnât want her to go back to her motherâs house, she retorted somewhat unhappily, âI donât work now, so I usually go back to my motherâs house to relax. If you donât let me go, then wouldnât I suffocate to death?â
âOh my god! What do you mean by âdieâ? Donât say such things in the future!â
Vivian looked at Daphneâs nervous look and could not help but laugh, âMom, look at how nervous you are! Which woman does not get pregnant and give birth? If this child is fated with us, he will definitely give birth safely.â
âOf course. He will definitely be born safely.â
âMom, you havenât told me if I can return to my motherâs home. I have to go back.â
âOkay, okay, okay! If you want to go back, then go. However, from now on, Vivian, donât you think so?â
Now that her daughter-in-law was carrying a grandson of her, Daphne had no reason to disagree.
âEn, Mom, donât worry. I will be careful.â
Daphne was very excited about the result of the examination. When the car returned to Villa of Cooper Family, Daphne immediately brought Vivian into the living room.
âVivian, you must be tired from the examination today. Go upstairs and rest for a while. I will get someone to make some chicken soup for you.â
âOkay. Mom, come up after you are done with your work. I have something to tell you.â Vivian nodded and greeted Greta before returning to her bedroom upstairs.
Daphne first instructed the servants to make the chicken soup and thought about what Vivian just said.
She then ran upstairs and entered her Vivianâs bedroom. Daphne first closed the door of the room and went to sit beside the bed.
âVivian, you just said that you have something to tell me. What exactly is it?â
Vivian sat up from the bed and looked at Daphne and said in a low voice, âMom, I have something to worry about. . . â
âWhat is it? Tell Mom, I will definitely solve it for you.â
âAlthough Iâm pregnant now, have you forgotten something?â
âSister-in-law is pregnant too! If she also gives birth to a son, then what should we do?â
âCough, I thought you were talking about something. If she gives birth to a son, then so be it! So what?â
Daphne really did not think about this matter. Hearing Vivianâs words, she could not help but smile and reply.
âYour words are easy to say. But if she really gave birth to a son. . . In the future, the Cooper Family will be two grandsons. When they grow up in the future. . .â Vivian looked at Daphne and did not continue her words.
Daphne immediately raised her brows and looked at Vivian. âThen what do you think we should do?
Since she has already married into the Cooper Family, she will definitely have a child in the future.
Could it be that we can drag her to the hospital and force her to have an abortion?â
Vivian heard Daphneâs words and immediately looked at her own fingers. âThis is what you said! I didnât say it!â
When she found out that she was carrying a daughter, she was thinking that what if Sarahâs child was a son? What should she do?
So after thinking about it, the only way was to make that woman unable to give birth to a child. As long as Sarahâs child was gone, then even if she gave birth to a daughter, no one would say anything.
âHow can I say such things randomly? If we really do such a thing. . . Vivian, in the future, you canât say such words again. Do you know?â Daphne heard Vivianâs words and her back turned cold.
Although she did not like Sarah, it did not mean that she could do anything. If it was really as Vivian said, forcing Sarah to have an abortion. . . Daphne would never do such a thing.
There were some things that could be done, but there were some things that absolutely could not be done!
Vivian heard Daphneâs words and immediately burst into laughter, âMom, look at how scared you are! I just casually said that and you took it seriously? Donât worry! Anyway, Iâm carrying a son. When heâs born, weâll make him the best person!â
Hearing Daphneâs words, Vivian immediately joked to smooth things over for herself.
Daphne sat in Vivianâs room for a while before leaving.
Vivian saw Daphneâs figure disappear at the door and her large eyes narrowed coldly.
Thinking about how she and Sarah were pregnant at the same time, they were already six months pregnant. It would be better if Sarah gave birth to a daughter but if it was a boy. . .
Vivian thought about what the doctor told her. If she had an abortion again. . . Then she would never have her own child again. This was something she could not accept no matter what, but the child in her womb was already confirmed to be a girl. What should she do?
She took the phone from the bedside and originally wanted to call Lucas. But when she thought that, Lucas was now Julianâs assistant, she was afraid that this would arouse Julianâs suspicion, so she decided to let it go.
For the whole afternoon, Vivian was thinking about what to do about this matter. But no matter how hard she thought about it, she could not come up with a good idea.
When it was almost 5 PM in the afternoon, Julian returned home from the company. Daphne looked at her son coming home so early for the first time and felt a little puzzled.
Seeing Julian lying directly on the sofa and looking more or less tired, Daphne immediately walked over to her sonâs side and sat down. âJulian, what is wrong with you? Why did you come back so early today?â
Julian closed his eyes and shook his head. He did not say anything.
âWhy donât you say something? What is going on? Did your dad scold you again? Or did you do something wrong?â Daphne looked at her son and anxiously asked.
âMom, thereâs nothing wrong. Itâs just that my eyes are not feeling well today. It just so happens that thereâs nothing much going on in the company, so I came back first. . .â Hearing his mother keep asking him, Julian closed his eyes and told the truth.
âAre your eyes not feeling well? Whatâs wrong? Is it because staying up all night is too much?â When Daphne heard her son say there was something wrong with his eyes, she immediately stared at her sonâs tightly shut eyes.
âWhat exactly is wrong with you? How about I take you to the hospital tomorrow?â Daphne was afraid that something would go wrong with her sonâs eyes.
Julian couldnât help but laugh when he heard his motherâs words. âMom, Iâm already so old. Do I need you to accompany me to the hospital?â
âThen you keep your eyes closed and tell me how you feel uncomfortable with your eyes.â
âI just canât see clearly. When I open my eyes, tears come out of my eyes. Recently, when I read documents for a long time, I feel like thereâs fog in front of me and canât see clearly. But I just need to close my eyes and rest for a while. I donât know what is going on today, but I canât see clearly even if I close my eyes to rest, so I came back first. . .â
Actually, there had been some problems with Julianâs eyes during this period of time. However, most of the time, he would sleep with his eyes closed in the office and after he woke up, he would feel that nothing had happened and did not take it to heart.
But today, his eyes didnât listen to his orders no matter how much he rested. He felt a little depressed and went straight home.
âWas it because your eyes were injured last time? Last time, you sutured so many needles. Donât tell me you hurt your cornea or something?â
Julianâs cornea had problems in the past. When she heard her son say this, Daphneâs heart was instantly pulled up.
âMom, donât scare me! My eyes have not had problems for nine years. It canât be a problem with my cornea!â Julian waved his hand when he heard his motherâs words. He didnât believe that there was such a thing.
