Chapter 481
“Do you mean Lideran and Cerrosbi together?” the private doctor asked Jessica. “Yes,”
“Are you pregnant?”
Pregnant?

The words hit Jessica like a brick, freezing her in place. She gripped the phone tightly, her voice shaky as she asked, “Dr. Kinsman, what are you talking about?”
“Both Lideran and Cerrosbi are herbs that prevent miscarriage.”
Prevent miscarriage?
Wendy was using those? Was she pregnant?
Jessica’s mind went blank. She had never even considered the possibility of Wendy being pregnant. She knew Wendy and Stanley had slept together, but she was certain he wasn’t fond of children. He didn’t seem like the kind of person who would let something like this happen–not with the heir to the Hawk family at stake.
But… Wendy was pregnant.
Jessica staggered back a few steps, barely catching herself against the wall as she tried to steady her breathing. Was the child Stanley’s?
Wait, no… It could also be Samuel’s.
But a woman’s intuition is often sharp, and Jessica had a gut feeling that the child was Stanley’s.
What was she supposed to do now?
The panic hit her hard.
Jessica rushed back to her house as quickly as she could.
Lilian immediately noticed her pale complexion and sat beside her, concern flooding her voice. “Are you okay? Your hands are freezing!”
Lilian took Jessica’s hands, only to feel the utter lack of warmth.
“Mom… I have bad news.”
“What’s going on? Didn’t you make up with Mr. Hawk? He’s already made his choice, hasn’t he?”
Jessica gripped Lilian’s hands even more tightly. “Wendy’s pregnant… She’s pregnant with Stanley’s child!”
Lilian’s face went pale, her voice rising in shock. “What? Wendy’s pregnant? Are you sure? How could Wendy be pregnant with Mr. Hawk’s child?”
Lilian couldn’t believe it.
“I’m very sure Wendy’s pregnant. What am I supposed to do? If Stanley finds out, will he keep the baby? Even though Stanley doesn’t like kids, this is his first one! He’s going to be a father!”
Stanley was going to be a father.

Lilian’s expression turned serious. She knew just how important a first child was to a man. Even if Stanley didn’t want the child, his feelings for Wendy would likely change,
Sometimes, a man’s guilt could turn into something else entirely. A smart woman could hold onto that guilt and use it for a lifetime.
Lilian quickly steadied herself before assuring Jessica, “Calin down. Don’t panic.”
“How can I stay calm? I just stole the crystal pendant from Wendy to keep Stanley at bay, and now she’s pregnant. I don’t want to lose everything I have–I can’t lose him!”
Lilian grabbed Jessica’s shoulders firmly. “Does anyone else know about her pregnancy?”
Jessica shook her head. “I don’t think she’s told anyone.”
Lilian’s eyes lit up with a plan. “Don’t worry. The child in Wendy’s belly is Samuel’s!”
“Do you believe in a woman’s intuition? That child in Wendy’s belly… I’m sure it’s Stanley’s!”
“No, the child in Wendy’s belly is Samuel’s.”
Jessica blinked in confusion.
Lilian smirked and suddenly grinned. “It doesn’t matter whose child is inside Wendy. As long as Mr. Hawk believes the child is Samuel’s, doesn’t that solve everything?”
Jessica’s eyes widened in realization, and a light seemed to shine in them. “Mom, you’re brilliant!”
