She was very sleepy earlier, but the commotion stirred her up. Now, sleep was the furthest thing from her mind. “Let's get going now!” she declared, heading upstairs to grab her bag.
Shortly, she descended, carrying bag with her.
His gaze fell to her belly. “Violette, you don’t have a lift in your house?”This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
“No,” she responded, knowing full well where he was heading with this line of questioning.
He was worried about the strain of the stairs on her, especially considering the baby she was carrying.
But the truth was, she wasn’t tired at all.
Even if her belly continued to grow in the later stages of pregnancy, a two-story climb was hardly a hurdle.
“You either move to a room on the first floor, or | get a lift installed for you. Your choose,” he stated, in a tone that brooked no argument.
“How do you propose we install a lift? Going to tear down my house?” she retorted, giving him a hard stare. “If | can’t manage the stairs, I'll naturally move downstairs.”
After saying that, she stepped outside, with him trailing behind her.
Their bodyguard, upon seeing them, promptly opened the car door for them. Once they were in, the car set off towards the hospital.
The atmosphere inside the car was cold and tense.
Suddenly, Elijah reached out and flipped a switch.
Apartition rose before them, separating the backseat from the driver’s seat. Violette was taken aback.
“Violette, since the baby you're carrying is in good health, we should have it,” he began. His voice was firm. “This child is mine. Once it’s born, it’ll take my surname, and I'll be the one to raise it.”
Violette frowned. “You raise it? Can you even take care of a child?” Elijah replied, “I have the resources. | can hire a professional nanny.”
Violette shot back, “You weren't this assertive before. Is this because | hit you? Are you holding a grudge and now you want to take the baby away from me?”
Elijah retorted, “What do you mean take away? The baby is mine to begin with!” Violette was at a loss for words, finding his stubbornness difficult to counter. If he was going to be like this, she really didn’t have any other options.
“And just for the record, that slap isn’t enough for me to hold a grudge,” he added. His voice was low and steady. “But it was enough to make me realize that you don’t deserve my love.”
His words felt like a needle piercing her heart. They didn’t cause an unbearable pain, but rather a lingering discomfort that wouldn't fade.
Her eyes dropped to the floor. She had hit him, and by doing so, she had lost her right to speak.
“Violette, you're the first woman who has ever laid a hand on me,” he confessed. His voice was filled with hurt. “If you loved me, you wouldn’t hit me.”
For so many times he had lost his temper in front of her, but he never thought of laying a hand on her. He would rather hurt himself than her.
Violette felt humiliated.

Shortly after, they arrived at the hospital.
Elijah accompanied Violette directly to the ultrasound department.
The head of the department personally attended to Violette.
As she lay down, the ultrasound probe was placed on her belly.
Immediately, the computer screen displayed a clear image of the baby’s face. Elijah held his breath.
His deep-set eyes were fixated on the lively face of the baby on the screen. Violette could see the baby’s face too.
The baby was the similar image of lan.
