Chapter 426 Becoming A Father

After leaving the building, Ricky first went to the hospital.

After learning that Archie was indeed fine, he was truly relieved.

At that moment, in the VIP ward.

Natalia opened her eyes and subconsciously lifted the quilt. She was about to get out of bed when the nurse stopped her.

"Miss, you are in a very bad state, and you need more rest."

The nurse was about to help her lie down when Natalia took her hand and asked urgently, "Where's Archie? Is he awake?"

Hearing this, Ricky, who was about to come in with the tonic, felt indescribably uncomfortable. His nose twitched, and his eyes were moist.

The first person Natalia cared about when she woke up was not herself.

Ricky took a deep breath and soon looked back to normal. He walked in with a chuckle, looked at Natalia, who was still insisting on going out, and said in a soft, reassuring voice.

"Archie's fine. It's just that he's just had a major operation and he'll still be in a coma. Don't worry, Natalia. You need to get well so he'll be relieved to see you're okay when he wakes up." Natalia lowered her eyes and rubbed her stomach, and her anxious heart gradually calmed down.

Now that she was no longer alone, and she needed to recuperate even more. She would tell him herself that she was having his child when he woke up.

Natalia smiled, as if she could already imagine Archie's surprise when he knew about it.

Seeing that she had stabilized, Ricky glanced at the nurse, indicating that she could leave and that it would be fine with him here.

"

After the nurse left, Ricky asked Natalia to have some breakfast first. There was so much happening these days and she had eaten so little. Not only did she need the supplements, but so did the baby. Natalia tried to suppress her worries about Archie, ate, and wanted to go over to the ward to see him for herself. Ricky knew he couldn't stop her and simply took her over.

"I want to stay with him. You guys can go out first."

Natalia sat quietly in front of the bed. Looking at the pale man, her heart ached even more, and even her voice got hoarse.

"Okay, we'll be right outside. Just let us know if there's anything you need."

Ricky and the others answered, and then they all retreated, not disturbing them any further.

Natalia moved gently to hold his hand. All the fatigue of the past few days seemed to be abated at this moment when she held his hand, making her feel safe.

She leaned over and nestled gently next to his body.

'Archie, you must get better! The baby and I are waiting for you.'

Archie woke up the next afternoon.

The dim light of the evening shone in through the window and lit up the room in golden hues.

He opened his eyes and saw someone sitting beside his bed. Her thin back glowed warmly in the golden light, while she had her head slightly bowed as if she were peeling an apple.

She was so focused that she didn't even notice that he was awake.

He moved his gaze to the side and found that several peeled fruits were already neatly laid out on the bedside table. He didn't know how long she had been sitting here peeling them.

Archie's heart went warm and soft.

Natalia was a pretty girl, so naturally, she looked beautiful in what she did.

He lifted his hand, which still had a needle in it, and gently took Natalia's wrist in his long fingers, "Natalia."

Natalia was slightly stunned.

Her spine was almost rigid. She turned straight around and then saw Archie, who was pale but awake.

Awake?!

The next second, without waiting for the man in the hospital bed to react, Natalia pressed him into her arms, "Archie."

Natalia's body was delicate and now she was holding such a big man as he was.

She held him with great strength while she even wanted to rub him into her bones so that he would become her blood and only follow her for the rest of her life and never leave her. "... Natalia?"

"Archie! Do you have any idea how scared I was? You were covered in blood ... There was blood all over the floor. I was really scared that you would leave me ... Do you know how happy I was to see you alive? I... our ..."

"I know... Natalia."

Archie moved away from Natalia's arms and wiped the tears that were left on her face either from excitement or joy, "I know all that."

Natalia looked down and kissed Archie.

She stood in front of Archie and met his dark eyes, then said solemnly, "Dear Mr. McCarthy, congratulations."

She said and bent down to come face to face with him.

She was so close to him.

Archie thought.

"I'm pregnant. You're going to be a father."

Her voice was soft, but it carried into his ears like heavenly music.

"You're going to be a father."

--Father?!

Archie's mind went blank for a full three seconds. Three seconds later, he pulled Natalia, who had been caught off guard, into his arms while his voice trembled with excitement.

Really?"

"Yes."

"Our baby."

Archie shifted his gaze to Natalia's flat belly and said slowly and clearly.

"Our baby." She repeated.

There was a knock on the door from outside the ward.

Archie knew just by the sound that the person coming was Brian.

It was then that the two calmed down. Natalia told Archie to let go of her, then she wiped the tear from her face and turned and opened the door to the ward straight away. "Summer got caught?"

Natalia led him over to the hospital bed. She sat down, then took a toothpick and forked a piece of apple, and handed it to Archie.

"We caught her. She's emotionally unstable now though. I've placed her elsewhere. When she's in a better mood ..."

Brian was a little hesitant.

"Bring her here."

Archie didn't give Brian a chance to hesitate anymore.

He stared at the wound on his chest, while the tenderness in his eyes disappeared little by little and was replaced by darkness.

After hesitating for a while, Brian sent Summer into the ward.

Natalia froze slightly.

Summer was no longer the person she remembered.

Her former beauty and grace were gone, and she was now unkempt, like a vicious wolf in bondage, and staring viciously at Archie, who was sitting calmly on the bed - She was trembling all over. "Natalia..." Natalia was just about to speak.

"Mr. McCarthy... you're lucky."

Summer tilted her head and said sarcastically.

Natalia turned her head to look at Archie.

Seeing Archie look at ease, she shifted her gaze back to Summer.

"Archie, people like you, who wear suits all day and talk about benevolence and morality, but do things to get money and kill people, and don't take human life seriously at all! You'll do anything for money and power! Hahahaha ... I tell you, sooner or later, you will pay for what you have done before!"

The emotions she had pent up for so long exploded in a flash, and even if Summer was once graceful, she was now overcome by seven years of resentment and shouting like a madman.

The formerly close and dear friend was nowhere to be found. The woman before her now was wretched and pathetic, and no longer resembled Summer as she once was.
