Chapter 5 Pregnancy
The bird's nest soup slipped from the flat surface and dropped onto Patricia's clothes. It was sticky when it dropped on her clothes, which seemed to be disgusting. Patricia frowned and showed an unpleasant face.
"Ah, the precious soup dropped down?" Lydia pretended to be panicked, but her hand didn't stop leaning. She swung her arm with great strength and threw all of the bird's nest soup on Patricia's face. "Never mind, my sister. This table is clean and you can continue licking it. After all, you have never had it before..."
Patricia suddenly pulled Lydia's arm away and gradually stood up.
Despite her embarrassment with soup stains on her clothes, Patricia still showed an imposing manner, "Lydia, you're my sister and I've been putting up with you on many things. Don't go too far. Otherwise, I will let you pay your price."
After saying this, she turned around without hesitation, leaving Lydia behind, whose face went red because of anger.
Lydia hummed and snorted towards her sister, "Well, but you have been bullied by me since you were little."
Time flew quickly and two months had passed.
Patricia had gained some weight during the last two months and it was so evident. Lydia was happier than everyone when seeing Patricia's figure.
During dinner, Lydia finally picked up a pork rib to Patricia's bowl with her chopstick when seeing Patricia was having pure vegetables.
"Patricia, it seems that you really can eat a lot these days. Have more."
Patricia glanced at the pork rib in her bowl and calmly threw it out.
Lydia pretended to be hurt and put her chopsticks down, "Patricia, why are you throwing away the rib? Did I do anything wrong? I can change if you tell me."
Seeing Lydia, who suddenly burst into tears, Wesley frowned and showed an unpleasant expression. He put down her chopsticks and pounded the table heavily, looking at Patricia disdainfully. "Patricia! Don't go too far! Your sister is worried about you. What do you mean by throwing away the food?"
Miranda didn't help Patricia, but squatted beside Lydia and comforted her.
Patricia looked at her sister and finally opened her pale mouth, "I don't want to eat.'
Wesley was angrier when seeing his daughter's reaction. He knocked heavily on the table again, pointed at the rib and yelled, "Pick it up and eat it!"
Hearing her father's words, Patricia gradually raised up her head, showing a cold gaze. How could her father ask her to eat thrown-away food?
"Dad, how will others treat us if you do this to me?" Patricia replied calmly and didn't intend to eat it.
Wesley suddenly stood up and wanted to grab her hair again. However, Patricia suddenly opened her eyes wide, covered her mouth and ran towards the dustbin. She burst into tears when bowing and vomiting at the dustbin.
Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded when seeing her behaviour. The person who felt most surprised was Lydia.
A bad idea passed through her mind. It was impossible! Was Patricia carrying Archibald's baby?
She clenched fists! How could this happen? It was she who forced Patricia to have sex with the man she loved the most by mistake and now she was carrying his baby?
If Patricia came to Archibald and told him she was carrying his baby, there was a great chance that she could become his wife!
Lydia clenched her fists even harder. No! She couldn't allow such a thing to happen.
Before she made any reaction, Miranda had already come to Patricia.
She slightly petted Patricia's back and asked her in a serious manner, "Tell me, Patricia, are you pregnant?"
Patricia was in a trance and asked, "Pregnant?"
Miranda didn't say anything but immediately brought her daughter to the hospital.
Within half an hour, when Miranda saw the result on the laboratory test, she already passed out because of anger.
The doctor smiled and said to Patricia, "Congratulations! You're going to be a mother!"
Patricia couldn't believe what she heard and subconsciously put her hands on her belly.
"I, I am going to be a mother?"
The doctor nodded and replied, "Yes, you have been pregnant for two months.
Hearing the doctors' words, Miranda, Wesley and Lydia remembered the night when Patricia was spending a night outside.
Wesley suddenly grabbed Patricia's wrist with great strength, pulled Patricia in front of the doctor and shouted angrily, "Doctor, give her an abortion now. We don't want the baby!"
Patricia was shocked upon hearing her father's words. She immediately struggled out from her father's hand and covered her belly.
"No way! This is an innocent life. I couldn't deprive his right to live and kill him cruelly."
Slap! Wesley slapped on Patricia's face with no mercy.
"Bitch! Are you going to ruin our chance to cooperate with the Sparks family? You're going to marry Dustin!"
Lydia remained silence and gradually squinted her eyes.
Patricia was carrying Archibald's baby! She was the only one on this world who knew it and she wouldn't tell anyone. As long as the truth was founded by others, Patricia would replace her and became the most favourable baby in this family. It was likely that Patricia would become Archibald's wife.
Hence, she must keep this secret.
It was a good thing for Patricia to have an abortion so Archibald wouldn't find out the truth.
Thinking of this, Lydia hurriedly went forward and slightly grabbed her sister's arm.
"Patricia, you don't have to deliver this baby! We're doing this for your own good. We're your family and we won't hurt you!"☐☐☐☐
