Luna refused to meet Hero's eyes. She'd been panicking ever since the doctor informed her about her pregnancy. How should she tell him about the baby they never planned to conceive in the first place? Would he changed his mind once he found out about her baby?
Elaine Ye could sense something was going on between her daughter and Mr. Li. She had only met the man twice, and she was aware that there was an attraction between the two. The only thing that bothered her was Luna's relationship with Jasper Mo. Did they break up because Mr. Li stepped into the picture?
He arrived with a child with him. The little girl must be his daughter from another woman. Elaine Ye had no idea that Hero was Luna's boss and the one who helped her family to pay Julian's medical expenses.
Now that she thought about it, it was time to check up on her other child, too. Luna should be able to go home later which lessened her worries. She just hoped that her daughter would explain everything to her once she was ready.
Luna had denied that Jasper was the one who fathered her child and refused to tell who it was. Didn't she say that they broke up a month ago and Jasper left with Aiko to go abroad?
While she had met Jasper on several occasions before, she didn't like how his family treated her daughter. They even tried to separate the two but had failed every time. What made them broke up was beyond Elaine's understanding.
Luna wouldn't give up easily. She would fight for what she thought was right. It was either a third party had entered their relationship or Luna had enough of the Mo family's scheming against her.
"Mr. Li, I have to bother you to look after my Luna for a moment while I check up on her brother's condition," Elaine told Hero, who only nodded in response as he sat beside Luna's bed.
She then turned her attention to her daughter. "By the way Luna, the police might come today to explain and report what happened during Julian accident …"
It was enough for Luna to understand her mother's worries. Elaine had never been good with this kind of confrontations. Maybe that was one of the reasons why Clarissa and her children were able to bully her and Luna when she was younger. Elaine hated conflicts. She would rather give way or turn a blind eye than deal with an argument. Something that Luna never shared with her mother.
"I understand, Mom. Go and see Julian. I'll follow you shortly once the doctor is back," Luna replied while Little Amber shifted beside her, lightly snoring in her slumber.
When Elaine left the room, Luna still tried to ignore Hero's presence, trying her best not to turn her head in his direction. Hero arched a brow. What was up with this woman? She wasn't thinking of backing out from their deal, right?
"Till when are you going to ignore me?" he asked.
Luna felt a shiver ran down her spine when she heard his cold words. While she wasn't planning on renouncing her part of the deal, this baby might change everything between them. She opened her mouth to say something when suddenly the door opened again, revealing her doctor.
The doctor smiled when she saw Hero talking to Luna and assumed that he was the husband and Little Amber was their first child.
"Oh, so the daddy and the baby girl are here." The doctor grinned before turning the pages of Luna's record to write scribble something on the paper.
Hero frowned, not understanding what the doctor meant. Did she mistake them as a small family? Didn't she see Luna's hand was missing a ring on her finger?
The doctor handed a prescription to Luna.
"You are good to go now, Miss Jiang, but make sure to schedule an appointment with your OB-Gyne so she could give you the prenatal supplements you needed. You're eight weeks along and should be able to request an ultrasound if you so choose to see the condition of your baby."
Hero felt his brain short-circuit with what the doctor said to Luna. He was rendered speechless in his seat while Luna's cheeks were tinged with a slight blush as she gave thanks to her doctor.
'Congratulations on being a daddy for the second time around." The doctor patted Hero's shoulder before leaving the room.
Hero stared at Luna with a blank expression on his face. Luna fidgeted and tried to fight the blush that was creeping to her face. Ah, she shouldn't be like this. Why was she blushing anyway?
They had slept together, and he deflowered her that night. They should have known the consequence of that night when neither of them used protection.
Hero broke the deafening silence between them. His face remained unreadable so Luna broke out in cold sweat. Needless to say, she turned into a bundle of nerves!
"You are pregnant," Hero stated the obvious thing, but in Luna's ears, it sounded more like stating a fact than asking a question.
"Yes," she breathed out.
