SWNOVELS Chapter 21
Chapter 21 Equivalent Exchange
Colbert was a little surprised to see her stunned with a look of frustration and despair.
Countless women in Kenison City racked their brains to throw themselves at him, trying to conceive his child.
But Colbert felt Eudora was miserable with his child.
Colbert remembered Eudora once said, "Colbert, not all women are gold diggers and eager to marry into the Steele family. Don't flatter yourself."
"As long as you quit your job in the club, I will ask the expert team to treat your father immediately, and the operation fee will be free."
Colbert stood in front of her, staring at her with a cold and arrogant attitude.
Eudora's eyelids drooped slightly, and her frustrated face showed no emotion. "So, if I quit my job but get rid of the child, will you still treat my Dad?" Colbert didn't answer her.
Eudora raised her eyes and stared at him with sadness. They looked at each other for a few seconds.
He said, "That's wishful thinking."
"Don't say something so noble. I give birth to your baby, and you ask the experts to treat my father. It's an equivalent exchange. Isn't it?"
Those experts couldn't be invited just with money.
Eudora could see reality clearly.
"You can make other requests," Colbert said in a muffled voice.
"I don't..." Just as she was about to utter "need", a thought flashed in her mind. She said, "If you can help me investigate my parents' car accident, I will promise you. "
If she could trade her child for Ansel's recovery and find out the truth about the car accident, Eudora would be willing to give birth to his child.
Although doing so would be sorry for the child in her womb, she knew that she was not Colbert's opponent. If he really let her give birth to this child, there would be countless ways to make her do that. Instead of against Colbert, it was better to "exchange at equal value".
"Okay." Colbert readily agreed.
Eudora pressed her lips lightly, and her straight back suddenly bent a little. With her head drooping weakly, she looked down at the ground, saying nothing. She was incompetent.
It was her incompetence that prevented her from being able to protect her adoptive parents, and she couldn't even decide whether she would have children. Eudora wanted to become stronger but didn't know where to start.
"However, you have to move to the Steele Mansion."
"In a few days. I need some time to calm down." Eudora sighed deeply.
She tilted her head to look at the vehicles passing by, feeling depressed.
Colbert acquiesced to her condition.
He got in the car and left.
Looking at the car leaving, Eudora suddenly felt icy all over her body, like being in an ice cellar.
She was a "birth tool" in Colbert's eyes. Otherwise, how could he treat her so ruthlessly?
