Chapter 565: Chapter 565: Scott Harris Caught in the Crossfire
“Not only will she inherit a rare blood coagulation genetic disease, but there’s a 50% chance that it will be transmitted to the pregnant mother through the blood during the mother’s pregnancy.” He tightened his grip on Enna Clark’s wrist, staring intently at the little woman whose eyes widened in shock, almost squeezing the words from his teeth, “Enna, now you understand why I would send you to the hospital to have an abortion even if you were pregnant with a daughter, even if I have to knock you unconscious first!”
“I…” Enna’s eardrums buzzed incessantly, her mind a complete blank.
Baron Lawrence, however, viciously pushed her against the wall, his eyes bloodshot and his teeth clenched, “Shut up! I don’t want to hear any reasoning from you! There’s no room for negotiation in this matter! You must listen to me! If it’s a son, give birth to him. If it’s a daughter, abort it!”
“…” The words “abort it” pierced her heart like a sword. She bit her lower lip hard, as if doing so could calm her down a little.
How could this be?
Why did it happen?
Baron Lawrence couldn’t bear to see her in distress, and held her in his arms, his voice hoarse, “Enna, I can accept that Tobias may be our only child in this lifetime, but I can’t accept something happening to you because of giving birth to a child for me. I know it’s hard for you to accept this news, but everything will be fine. If you really like daughters, we can adopt one from the orphanage. As long as we raise her from a young age, there won’t be much difference compared to a biological child… If you think she doesn’t look like us, we can even give her plastic surgery. As long as you don’t give birth yourself, even if you want to bring home the president’s daughter to raise, I will make it happen!”
From the initial shock to the edge of collapse, and finally hearing his messy words of comfort, Enna sobered up a lot. She couldn’t believe that she could laugh in this situation, and looked at him hoarsely as he tried his best to comfort her, “Adopt the president’s daughter? I can’t grow two extra pieces of meat.”
She laughed, but Baron Lawrence was furious, violently grabbing her face and growling angrily, “Don’t laugh! Your laugh looks terrible!”
Enna immediately stopped laughing and lowered her eyelids.
“Shit!” He knew it would be like this, that’s why he decided not to tell her in the first place! But who knew she would bring him coffee and happen to overhear him talking to Scott Harris on the phone!
In the end, it was all Scott Harris’s fault for not having good timing – calling her when she was delivering coffee and being so nosy!
Talking so much, he deserved to be sent to a coal mine in Country T!
In a flash, he had already decided to send Scott Harris to Country T for some fresh air! But his mood was still inexplicably irritable, he released his grip on Enna’s face, and kicked the chair in the study. Then he quickly stepped back, pulling her into his arms, one hand on her waist, the other holding the back of her head, burying her face in his chest, as if preparing for something, “Enna, forget about the promises I just made! Cry now!”
She cried, and he was uncomfortable!
But when she didn’t cry and laughed instead, he was even more upset!
It’s better for her to cry!
“Cry now, I won’t look.”
With Enna’s face pressed against his chest, her left ear could clearly hear his strong and steady heartbeat. Thump, thump, thump, each beat making her nose suddenly sore, she could no longer hold back, and broke down in tears –
