"That's my brother's last gift to this world. Nicolas, don't you want to know where that child is now?" Stephanie's face was pale and tense.
She had never mentioned this to Nicolas before because she did not want anyone to steal Nicolas's attention, even if it was her own nephew.
But now, this was Stephanie's only chance to make a comeback.
As expected, Nicolas's eyes darkened.
He said, "Before Vergil passed away, he didn't even have a girlfriend. How could he have a child?"
The doubt did not make Stephanie relax. Instead, it ignited a fire.
It was obvious that there was a chance for her to get out of this situation.
Her once beautiful and exquisite face turned extremely ferocious at this moment. "Nicolas, I won't lie to you brother... Speaking of which, this child is actually related to you.

Stephanie seized the opportunity and continued, "When you were overseas, you were repeatedly plotted against. My brother tried your food and drink before you ate to make sure there was no drug in them. One time, he ended up being drugged.
"He could only find a waitress to release himself. After that, the waitress found me and swore that her child must be my brother's. I did a paternity test and made sure it was true. Nicolas, it doesn't matter if you don't care about me, but are you going to abandon my brother's child?"
Nicolas's eyes turned cold. He had never denied Vergil's help for him int the past.
However, when he thought of Thea who was still recuperating on the hospital bed, his face showed a rare struggle. "Where is the child?"
"Nicolas, if the child in my womb had not passed, they would have become very good friends, right?" Stephanie did not respond directly. She smiled slightly. "Thea's incident can only be considered a life for a life."
Nicolas thought, 'How dare she mention Thea again!'
His eyes narrowed slightly as she lifted Stephanie up from the ground. Her thin neck became exceptionally weak as he grabbed it forcefully. Even breathing became a luxury.
He said, "Stephanie, this is the last chance I'm giving you. As long as it doesn't violate my principles, you can raise any conditions... Are you going to say it or not?"
At this moment, Nicolas had become a stranger to Stephanie.
No matter how hard she tried, she could not break free from his restraint. She could only say with difficulty, "Is Thea bottom line? Nicolas, if I ask you to divorce her and be with me from now on to raise my brother's child together, will you agree?" your
Nicolas's lips were stretched into a straight line.
The silence was his answer. Even Darwin could not help but sigh for Stephanie.
He felt that she was too greedy.
If the conditions were more lenient, Nicolas might not pursue the matter for Vergil's sake.

However, what Stephanie wanted was to be Nicolas's wife. That was impossible.

"Stephanie, now is not the time for you to negotiate with me." Nicolas's voice was cold. It carried a coldness that Stephanie had never experienced before.
When she closed her eyes, hot tears fell on the back of Nicolas's land. "Nicolas, sometimes I really can't figure out what Thea did to you. Didn't she only save you once? How have you fallen completely for her? She's notorious in Key Biskane!"
Only when Thea was mentioned, Nicolas had a flash of warmth on his face. "I know what kind of person Thea is better than you. The public is just slandering her. She is the kindest person in the world!" Only Thea would help him when she was also in a similarly difficult situation.
She was the only one who had pure feelings for him and had never asked for any benefits in return. She would not treat him differently because of his identity as the person in charge of the Hendrix Group. The light in Nicolas's eyes stung Stephanie's eyes.
She shook her head vigorously and blushed. "Nicolas, I won't compete with Thea anymore... My condition is simple. My brother died for you, and his child has to have your last name. This request isn't too much, right?"
Even if Stephanie didn't say it, Nicolas would dod the same.
Thea had just lost her child, and a child had the ability to bring warmth to people. Even if this child could not completely soothe the pain in Thea's heart, it could still bring her a trace of comfort.
Stephanie continued, "I didn't tell that poor child that his father had passed away. I don't want anyone to suspect that he's not a member of the Hendrix family. It also allows him to have a complete childhood. As his aunt and his only family in this world, I request to retain my visiting rights!"
Her request was not too much.
Nicolas was too lazy to argue with her. He desperately wanted to return to Thea's side, so everything else was left for Darwin to deal with.
Darwin looked at Nicolas's tall back as he left and felt like sighing.
Nicolas was helpless. Vergil's kindness to him was too great, and Nicolas was a loyal person.
Darwin was worried that Thea would have any misunderstanding after this.
After all, no one wanted to adopt a random boy right after their miscarriage,
However, the matter between Nicolas and Thea was not something Darwin could interfere with.
Nicolas rushed back to the hospital as fast as he could and bumped into the nurse who had been chased out by Thea.
When she saw Nicolas, it was as if she had seen her savior. "Mr. Hendrix, quickly go in and persuade Mrs. Hendrix. She is too stubborn and has been immersed in sorrow. She won't even eat the meals I made. Her body is weak. If this continues, her wound won't recover."
The food on the plate was soft, but there were no traces of it being touched.
Nicolas carried it in. Thea just sat at the head of the bed in a daze. She did not react even when she heard the knock.
Her pale face fell into Nicolas's eyes. He felt tortured.
He said, "Thea, I failed to protect you... but I don't want to see you punish yourself because of my mistake."

His voice was low.
Thea's eyes paused. "Nicolas, someone just told me that I can't get pregnant again? Is that true?"
She was like glass that would shatter upon contact.
Nicolas took a step forward and held her soft hand deeply in his palm. "Who said such things to you? Thea, don't listen to their nonsense. I've already found the best obstetrician and gynecologist for you. As long as you eat obediently and recuperate, you will have a baby again."
His consolation had no effect.
Thea met his gaze. "They also said that even you don't believe that this child is yours. Nicolas, tell me... Do you believe me?"
