Became A Queen After divorce

Chapter 1317: Pearl is Pregnant



“But Esteban is just a child; he poses no threat to you.”

“I don’t care. He has the same golden blood as you. I need his blood to create a potion that can extend your life.”

“Pearl, everything I do is for you. Can’t you understand your father’s feelings?”

Her father’s words echoed in her ears. Pearl hadn’t realized that she was the root of all the evil.

Shock, anger, guilt, despair…

Negative emotions surged like a tide. Unable to bear the stimulation, she felt her vision go black and her body uncontrollably fall.

“Pearl!”

“Miss Pearl!”

Before losing consciousness, Pearl saw the worry etched on her father’s face, leaving her heart in confusion.

Should she hate him?

Or should she hate her own existence more? If it weren’t for her, Giana and Esteban wouldn’t have died.

If she died, would all of this never have happened?

Pearl’s condition this time was more severe than ever before. After Declan rushed her to the emergency room, even the doctors were at a loss.

Cold electronic instruments emitted soul-stirring sounds, and the heartbeat curve on the screen showed a steep decline.

“92.”

“61.”

“37… It’s getting worse. Doctor, what should we do now?”

A young nurse anxiously asked.

The attending doctor decisively instructed her to prepare a cardiac injection and, if necessary, use defibrillation.

Outside the emergency room, Declan paced back and forth anxiously, showing his inner turmoil.

Seeing this, Brody tried to comfort him. “Sir, don’t worry. Miss Pearl is kind-hearted; heaven will surely protect her.”

“How can I not be anxious? I’m over fifty years old and only have this precious daughter. If I had known she would get so upset over an outsider, I would never have let her return to Taswya.”

She could have lived forever under the free sky, never knowing the truth and thus never suffering.

Brody knew how important Miss Pearl was to the master. No matter how many times he tried to comfort him, the result would be the same.

“Sigh.” He sighed lightly.

“How is Pearl?”

Natalia and Libby arrived just then, still wearing their formal gowns, indicating they had come directly from a banquet.

Declan glanced at her but said nothing.

This heartless woman never cared about Pearl. Who knew if her concern today was genuine or fake?Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

So he didn’t answer, and the atmosphere grew tense.

Brody had no choice but to respond. “Madam, Miss Pearl is still inside. We don’t know her condition yet; we have to wait for the doctor.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the emergency room door opened, and a doctor in a white coat walked out.

The first thing he asked was, “Who are the patient’s family members?”

“I am!” Declan and Natalia spoke simultaneously.

The doctor turned to Declan and said, “You two are married, right? The patient is your daughter.”

The words “you two are married” left one person stunned and another with a cold face.

“Yes/No.”

Their simultaneous but contradictory answers made the doctor glance at them again.

Assuming they were arguing, he began to scold them.

“The patient’s condition is critical. As parents, don’t cause trouble outside.”

Hearing that his daughter’s condition was poor, Declan had no time to argue with Natalia. He immediately grabbed the doctor’s arm and pleaded, “Doctor, what’s wrong with my daughter? Please save her; she’s only in her early twenties with a bright future ahead of her.”

The doctor sighed helplessly.

“We’ve tried everything we can. It seems your daughter has no will to live; she wants to die.”

Pearl wants to die?

“How is that possible?”

In his memory, his daughter was always optimistic and cheerful. No matter how big the challenge, she faced it with a smile.

How could such a Pearl have no will to live?

Declan thought Pearl must be angry with him.

Then the doctor announced even more shocking news.

“What’s worse is that she’s carrying an undeveloped child.”

“What did you say!”

Pearl is pregnant?

“That’s impossible!” Declan shouted in disbelief.

Pearl returned to Taswya three months ago and had been under his watch almost every day.

There wasn’t even a man around her; where did the child come from?

Wait… He suddenly remembered something.

Pearl had disappeared with Sam for ten days earlier. Could it have been then?

Calculating the time, the child would be about a month old.

Speak of the devil, Sam appeared before everyone.

As soon as he reached the emergency room door, Declan punched him.

Caught off guard.

“Bastard! I thought you were reliable and wanted to marry Pearl to you. But you’ve been bullying her all along.”

“I ask you, is the child she’s carrying yours?”

The punch was full of force, leaving a deep bruise on Sam’s flawless face with just one hit.

Sam didn’t dodge or avoid it; he even smiled.

“Mr. Gilliam, what did you say? Pearl has a child? Really?”

He hadn’t expected his wish to come true; Pearl indeed had his child.

Sam felt both surprised and amazed at the news of becoming a father.

“I’m going to be a father. I wonder if it will be a daughter or a son. Whatever it is, it’s wonderful.”

Seeing his sincere attitude and lack of evasion about the child’s arrival made Declan feel slightly better.

“Hmph, so you two were together all along and didn’t tell me. I wasted so much effort trying to match you with Pearl.”

“I’m sorry, Uncle. I planned to tell you once everything settled down.”

He hadn’t expected Declan to arrange an engagement for him and Pearl; he had agreed accordingly.

“Hmph, it’s too late for explanations now. Pearl…”

Thinking of his daughter fighting for her life in the emergency room, Declan was deeply worried.

Despite his dissatisfaction, Declan had to admit that Pearl might feel differently about Sam.

“Pearl has no will to live. Maybe you can wake her up.”

“Doctor, this is my future son-in-law and the child’s father… Can you let him see the patient?”

The doctor hesitated but agreed after sizing him up.

“Alright then. Young man, follow me.”

“Thank you.”

Sam took long strides and followed the doctor into the operating room.

Behind them, Libby lowered her eyes with schadenfreude as she watched the red light turn on again.

Heaven help us; let Pearl die with her child!
