Chapter 315: Chapter 315

Mary, upon hearing this, felt as if she had found her anchor.

Indeed, how could the truth be known without asking?

She suddenly looked at Ellis and said, “I’m not sick. I’m pregnant.”

Π

The corridor suddenly fell silent.

After Mary said those words, her heart began to pound wildly, but the weight that had been pressing onher chest seemed to vanish.

Keera was right…

The child wasn’t just hers alone; she shouldn’t be the only one to decide its fate.

She quietly watched Ellis.

But she saw Ellis was already stunned.

After he heard her words, his gaze fell on her

abdomen.

The indoor heating was turned up high, and Mary had taken off her coat. Underneath, the sweater shewore clung to her slender figure; her waist and abdomen

were thin, and there were no visible signs of

pregnancy.

Ellis’s gaze then returned to Mary’s face.

The concern on his face gradually receded, turning icy

cold.

After a moment, he scoffed. “Then?”

Mary hadn’t expected this reaction, and she was taken aback for a moment. She was about to speakwhen she heard Ellis scoff. “You wouldn’t say that the child is

mine, would you?”

Mary was dumbfounded.

She knew her previous actions might have led to a misunderstanding, and she decided to clarifyeverything at once, “That day, it was my first time… Ellis, I have no other men.”

She looked at him seriously and said earnestly.

But what responded to her was Ellis’s sneer. “Mary, do think I’ll believe you just because you said so?”

Mary tightened her jaw. “What I’m saying is true, this

child…”

“Shut your mouth!”

Ellis interrupted her sharply with a shout.

Keira hadn’t expected this situation either.

Ellis was usually lively but took things seriously and responsibly. However, his face was now extremelyugly, and he exuded a cold aura.

Fearful that Mary might be hurt, she stepped forward and looked at Ellis, “Ellis, what is the meaning ofthis? You don’t want to take responsibility?!”

Ellis was still rather polite to Keira, “If the child isn’t mine, why should I take responsibility? Looking fora scapegoat? Or do you think I’m an easy mark?”

By now, Mary’s eyes were wide open.

She looked at Ellis in disbelief…

What she said before, about it not being her first time, about playing wild, was all said in anger at Ellis.She thought that if she just explained herself clearly, he would trust her…

But she hadn’t expected it to turn out like this! What did Ellis take her for? An uppity escort?!

She clenched her fists tightly, her whole body trembling with anger, and even a flash of despair crossedher eyes.

She shouldn’t have had any illusions about Ellis…

Keira, however, furrowed her brows, sensing that something was amiss.

Ellis had just rushed up to find Mary, which clearly wasn’t a chance encounter, showing his concern forher. Then why was this situation unfolding?

She suddenly realized something and turned to Ellis ask, “What are you doing at the maternityhospital?”

Ellis’s complexion turned ashen, and he found it somewhat hard to speak.

But Keira continued to step forward and pressed, “Why did you swear that the child wasn’t yours?”

Ellis let out a cold laugh and said, “Because I will never be able to have children in this lifetime!”

At that statement, both Keira and Mary were

dumbfounded, their gazes inadvertently shifting to Ellis’s crotch…

Ellis suddenly felt uncomfortable in a particular area. He shifted his body and said angrily and

embarrassedly, “What are you thinking about?! Mary knows whether I am capable or not, doesn’t she?”

Mary was speechless.

Actually, he was quite capable; that day, he almost disassembled her skeleton.

Seeing their reactions, Keira asked, “Then why do you say you will never have your own children in thislifetime?”

Ellis’s face turned red.

Yet after glancing at Mary, he took a deep breath and said with a sneer, “As you both know, I likehorseback riding, right?”

Keira nodded.

Ellis coughed, “I’ve spent a bit too much time

horseback riding, which affected my reproductive bag. The doctor said my, um, viability is very low…”.

Keira fell silent.

She understood.

Ellis’s function down there was fine, but he had oligospermia.

No wonder he, a man, was frequenting a gynecology and obstetrics hospital to seek treatment!

She asked directly, “Low viability means there is still some chance. Did the doctor say it was absolutelyimpossible for you to have children?”

Ellis scoffed. “Of course not,

If there was no hope left, why would he keep coming to see the doctor? He would have given up longago.

Now at twenty-eight, Ellis remained unmarried, and his family wasn’t in a hurry to find him a wife-this

issue was the reason.

But personally, he took it easy. For families like his, having children or not was immaterial. His uncledidn’t have any children either, did he? And he was living a good life regardless.

Oh, no, that’s wrong. His uncle did have children… two of them.

Ellis suddenly realized that this fact didn’t comfort him

at all, and he felt a lump in his heart.

He turned to Mary with a mocking tone. “So, if you want to deliberately provoke someone, don’t chooseme! I know you’re desperate to get married, but go find your child’s father, and don’t pin it on me!”

Having said that, he felt an inexplicable irritability..

When he’d heard from Lewis that Mary wasn’t in good health, he worried that he was too vigorous thatnight and had caused her to develop some illness, which was why he had rushed here to see her.

As it turned out, Mary wanted him to be delighted to

be a dad?!

He used to think Mary wasn’t bad looking…

Right now, Mary’s face was white as a sheet as she tried to explain. “But you’re the only man I’ve beenwith, so the child is yours… Even if the probability is low, there’s still a chance, isn’t there?”

Ellis looked at her mockingly. “Yeah, maybe if we do it a hundred times, you might conceive once, andyou hit the jackpot on the first try? I must be really amazing

then!”

His words were full of distrust and sarcasm.

Mary clenched her fists in anger.

She stared at Ellis, wanting to say something, but found herself at a loss for words, her eyes brimming

with tears.

Keira furrowed her brows and looked directly at Ellis. “Ellis, considering your condition, I advise you tobe more cautious. After all, your child would be a one-percent possibility! If Mary doesn’t want thischild, you’ll lose another chance to have kids!”

Ellis scoffed. “Oh, you’re trying to scare me? I am so scared. Mary, I never imagined you could be thiskind of woman! If you are so certain that it’s my child, fine, let’s go and do a DNA test!”

Mary was trembling with fury. “Fine! Let’s do it! Don’t you regret it later!”
