Hello, Mr. Brent
Chapter 25

Emily looked at him in shock, as if what he had just said was moreshocking to her than he said that she was pregnant.

However, Emily came to her senses before long. Yes, how could sheforget that he had intended to make her a substitute, but no one hadexpected that she would get pregnant?

Could this be god's will?

"What if I abort it?" Emily mumbled.

"You may not be able to have children anymore in the future. Since youare in poor health, it can be fatal.” Franklin exaggerated what thedoctor had told him.

Emily's face turned even paler. She could not accept either fact.

How painful it would be for a woman not to have a child of her own.Besides, it could be fatal. What would happen to her mother? Whowould continue supporting her?

"Why? I'm always the unlucky one.” Emily started to sob.

Franklin stared at her in surprise and asked, "Do you feel so unlucky tomarry me?"

He could remember that he had always been the most eligiblebachelor. So many girls from respectable families wanted to marry him.Jason had also said that if he wanted to get married, he could choosehis wife at his own will as those ancient emperors had chosen theirconcubines.

He really had no idea that he should be rejected.

"Of course.”

Emily complained to herself. "Who would like to marry you as asubstitute for someone else? If your childhood sweetheart comes back,I have to give up my position to her.”

Franklin's face darkened. He felt hurt as if he had been badly insulted.But at the thought that Emily was still in bed, he didn't want to beangry with her or make her unhappy.

At this moment, the nurse knocked on the door and came in. She washere to put Emily on a nutrition drip.

Franklin finally knew that there were still malnourished human beingsnowadays. But it had been said by the doctor that most girls refused toeat in order to lose weight now, so it was not rare either.

After the nurse left, Franklin asked Emily again, "Do you want to eatanything? I'll ask Jason to bring some over here.”

Emily shook her head. She had no appetite at this time. Her mind was inturmoil, and she felt that a huge stone was pressing on her chest.Frowning, Franklin stood up, threw back her covers, and sat down withher.

Emily was feeling upset. Suddenly she saw him lying down next to her,she couldn't help but be startled.

She moved aside immediately and said, "Hey, why are you lying down?""It's late now. I need to rest too.” Franklin took off his watch, showed itto her, and threw it on the bedside table.

She was shocked when she discovered that it was already 12 o'clock atmidnight.

But even if he wanted to sleep, he couldn't lie down and fall asleep nextto her!

Emily said instantly, "Ask the nurse to provide an extra bed for you!""This is a VIP ward. Why do I need to get another when I already have aking-size bed?" Franklin said seriously.

"But..."

"No buts. Just go to sleep.” Franklin said emphatically.

Emily, ".."
