Chapter 137: Chapter 137: When Did the Accident Happen?
After a long silence, Leon spoke,"Let's do a test, okay?"
Rarely, there was a hint of coaxing in his tone.
"I... I'm not pregnant...",Rossweise still whispered insistently.
She clenched her fists, placed them on her knees, her beautiful face filled with unease.
Leon knew, considering the various adverse reactions these past few days, she should have realized something.
She just didn't want to face it.
He hesitated for a moment, then reached out, gently covering Rossweise's hand with his.
Leon's palm had calluses from years of battle, and countless small scars.
But being held by such a hand, Rossweise only felt a sense of peace.
This sense of peace wasn't the so-called "sense of security"; she never sought a sense of security from others, not even Leon.
Last year, when she was pregnant with the two sisters, what Rossweise lacked was this sense of peace.
"Let's do it, otherwise, after all these days, those strange adverse reactions have been tormenting you, you won't feel at ease, right?",Leon persuaded.
After a pause, he added,"No matter the result, I... will face it with you."
The dungeon two years ago was the turning point in Leon and Rossweise's fate.
If Leon hadn't held on until Rossweise came to see him that day, if Rossweise hadn't tasted his drop of blood, if he had forgotten to use the Blood Charm,...
Then none of this would have happened.
Leon would have become one of the countless people who died on the dragon-slaying battlefield.
Rossweise would still be sitting on her high throne.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
Reality has happened, and responsibilities have followed.
And in Leon's life creed, there is no such thing as "escaping responsibility."
He loves Noah and Luna unreservedly, strives to do what a father should do, and also manages this "family" with Rossweise.
Therefore, when a new responsibility comes, whether it comes from an accident or not, Leon will not choose to escape.
The most important thing for a man is responsibility.
If there is no responsibility, what is the meaning of championships, fame, and all those things?
Rossweise lowered her eyes; she didn't like to listen to those big principles, Leon knew this, so he just made his promise to her in his simplest and most sincere words.
However, Rossweise also knew that the reason Leon made this promise to her was not because he had developed feelings for her or something.
Leon was just fulfilling his duties and responsibilities as a 'husband' of a family and a father of two children.
As for whether his 'wife' was also within his consideration?
Rossweise didn't know.
She didn't want to know either.
But in any case, Leon could be so frank, Rossweise was quite relieved.
At least he didn't gloat with a,"hahaha you're pregnant with my child again, aren't you?"
That would really be too bastardly, Rossweise would really hit him.
"Okay, I'll do a test."
"Hmm... hmm? Wait, do you have the tools?"
Rossweise stood up, walked to the storage cabinet, squatted down, and started rummaging,"Two years ago, someone got me pregnant in the dungeon, and after that day, I bought a lot of pregnancy test tools."
"Oh..."
"Found it."
Rossweise took out a paper box, inside were a bunch of small items.
She took one out, then went to the bathroom,"Wait for me, ten minutes."
"Okay."
Leon sat on the edge of the bed, fiddling with his fingers.
To be honest, he was also a bit nervous.
It's impossible not to be nervous, what if she really is pregnant, then the dragoness's sanctuary would be lively.
His "Prisoner's Suffering Record" would also add a significant stroke.
Having a second child with a dragon.
And if the old man, his master, knew that his beloved disciple had not only been eating well and sleeping well during the two years he was missing but also gave him a few grandchildren, wouldn't he be overjoyed?
The year Leon graduated from the academy, his master urged him to find a girlfriend, get married, and then have children for him and his wife to take care of.
The master said, "The grandson next door could already go to the store to buy soy sauce, and you don't even have a girlfriend, what, are you really planning to spend your life with our donkey? Go find a girlfriend, bring one back by the end of the year."
Leon said, "Master, is it possible that I'm only fifteen this year? The grandson next door should call me brother."
The master said, "You don't understand, you have to win at the starting line."
Leon said, "Then why didn't you just adopt a baby back then? That would be the real starting line."
The master kicked him.
Leon shook his head, bringing his thoughts back.
Just then, ten minutes were up.
Rossweise came out of the bathroom.
She stared at the pregnancy test tool in her hand, her expression grave.
Looking at the expression on her face, Leon could pretty much guess the test result.
But he still tentatively asked,"So...?"
Rossweise lightly 'tsk'ed, her face slightly red, "Can't you tell? Still asking."
As she spoke, she sat back on the edge of the bed, looking down at her toes.
The couple fell into silence again.
After a moment, Leon asked,"When you were pregnant with Noah and Luna, you should have had similar dizziness and nausea reactions, right? Didn't you think about pregnancy these past few days?"
"I thought about it, but I really remember doing safety measures every time, so I just thought I was too tired from work."
"Didn't do a test?",Leon gestured towards the small tool in her hand.
Rossweise shook her head, muffled,"No."
Leon scratched the tip of his nose,"So... which time was it then? The hot spring time?"
Rossweise thought about it.
Although the night at the hot spring was the most passionate they had been, she was sure that she had done the safety measures as soon as she woke up the next day.
So it definitely wasn't that time.
"No, I did it that time.",Rossweise's memories surged,"Could it be the days with the bunny girl photos?"
During that time, Leon and she did indeed do their homework much more frequently than usual.
And Leon was in absolute control, she could only let him have his way.
But Rossweise thought carefully, even if the frequency was higher and she lost control, she still didn't forget to do the safety measures.
So she quickly dismissed that thought.
"What about the night of Dragon Power?",Leon asked.
Hearing this, the queen took a sharp breath.
That was really the night she least wanted to remember, the crazy Leon was really the nightmare of her life.
'How dare this dog man even bring it up.'
But unfortunately,"It wasn't that night either."
The couple recounted their past "sins," almost every one of them was memorable, just a little start, and they could recall the whole process.
It seemed like they were trying to figure out which time they hit the jackpot, but actually, it was more like settling their karmic relationship.
But there was no way, they could only brace themselves, forcing themselves to recall bit by bit.
'Which time was it...'
Suddenly, Leon clapped his hands, a light bulb moment,
"Oh, I remember which time it was!"
Rossweise looked up, suspiciously at him,"Which time?"
Leon confidently replied,"The Blood Charm time."
Hearing this, Rossweise had an epiphany, her memories instantly pulled back to the night she used Blood Charm on Leon.
On that indulgent, passionate, and confusing night, Leon, under the influence of the seductive Blood Charm, kept demanding from Rossweise, and they indeed indulged in passion all night long.
However, it was on this night that Rossweise underestimated the side effects of Blood Charm on the Dragon King's body, accidentally flipped the car, and directly fell into a coma.
This coma lasted for three days.
A full three days, long past the effective range of safety measures.
And after waking up, before Rossweise's head could even clear up, Leon took her to the back mountain of the temple to "check-in" everywhere.
By the time she recovered a bit, she had already forgotten about the safety measures.
Now recalling it, it was really a slip-up within a slip-up.
The queen tightly closed her eyes, knocked on her head, somewhat muttering in frustration,"How could this happen..."
Leon sighed beside her,"What's done is done, regretting is useless, who told you to use Blood Charm on me."
Hearing this, Rossweise was immediately displeased,"What do you mean I had to use it on you? If you hadn't used it on me in the dungeon back then, could I have used it on you recently?"
"Nonsense, if I hadn't used it, I would have died in the dungeon back then.",Leon argued confidently.
"It's fine, it's not too late now, I'll just finish you off!"
With that, Rossweise made a move to strangle Leon's neck, but didn't use much force, just venting her frustration for her previous oversight.
But how could Leon let her have her way?
He immediately retracted his neck, tucked his chin, making it impossible for Rossweise to get a grip.
In the end, Rossweise could only helplessly vent her frustration by poking his shoulder a couple of times, then turned around, crossed her arms, and pouted in silence.
However, she wasn't angry about the "pregnancy" itself, nor the third child in her belly, she was just angry at her own momentary carelessness, her own flip of the car.
And worried and confused about the various chain events after pregnancy.
She still remembers, after first becoming pregnant with the Noah and Luna sisters, Rossweise's life became a mess.
Sleepiness, morning sickness, dizziness, all sorts of strange little symptoms kept coming, making it impossible for her to focus on work.
By the middle of the pregnancy, Rossweise could no longer perform normal work, so she had to hand over some matters to Anna, while she herself rested and nurtured the fetus under the care of the maid group.
But during pregnancy, the emotions of a pregnant woman are very unpredictable.
Plus, the way she became pregnant was really too embarrassing to talk about, and the culprit who caused all this was still sleeping in the nursery next door at the time.
This led to her often feeling depressed back then, only able to alleviate her low mood by writing letters to her sister Isa.
And now, the culprit has woken up, not only woken up, but with their "efforts," successfully conceived a third childβ
It's as if the heavens are deliberately giving Leon a chance to be a "pregnancy dad."
'Please, we don't want this chance!'
After a moment of silence, Rossweise sighed.
She turned around, lowered her eyes, gently stroked her belly, and spoke resentfully, "As you said, what's done is done, let's just settle down and nurture the fetus. Do you have any experience with nurturing a fetus?"
