Chapter 386 - 382: You will want this child, right?
Originally lying in bed, Asher Land heard the news and suddenly sat up, his wound pulling tight, causing him to furrow his brows involuntarily.
"Are you serious?"
Why does this sound so unreal to him?
"It’s true, you just need to tell me your thoughts now. This child, do you want it, or not?" At this point, it’s best to open up and speak clearly, dragging things out is not an option, eventually the belly will grow and it won’t be possible to hide it.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Sophie Smith felt that time was passing incredibly slowly, yet Asher Land seemed not to have come back to his senses from the news she shared. Perhaps, the impact of this matter was truly too great for him.
"If you don’t want the child, I’ll get rid of it." Her weak voice suddenly came through, in the past, she was determined to keep the child even if she had to leave Asher Land, but now...
She loved Asher Land, even if she couldn’t keep the child, she wanted to stay by his side.
She truly felt she was being foolish.
"It was just an accident, after that one time, I forgot to take the morning-after pill." Seeing that Asher was silent, she thought he was angry, which is why she kept explaining, "I really don’t intend to use the child to threaten you or anything, I..."
"Enough, Sophie."
He got out of bed, enduring the sharp pain from his shoulder, walked to her side, and stretched his long arms to pull her into his embrace.
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry..." He murmured, his large hands holding her tightly in his arms, "It’s my fault, I’ve made you suffer."
Sophie remained stiff in his embrace, for a long, long time, before she finally reached out and slowly hugged his waist.
"I’m not suffering."
Previously, she felt the child she was carrying was a burden, but now, she dearly wished to see her and his child come into this world soon.
"You will want this child, right?" She raised her head, her eyes filled with unprecedented hope.
"Of course, why wouldn’t I?" He smiled, looking at her with overwhelming affection.
"Asher Land, you must tell me the truth, are you just humoring me, are you actually angry with me?"
"Silly lady, I have a child now, I’m too happy to be angry, how could I be mad?" He lightly tapped her nose, "No more overthinking, just focus on having a healthy pregnancy."
"Okay." Her lips finally softened a bit, she stood on tiptoe, planting a kiss on his lips.
...
Asher Land stayed in the hospital for a week for recovery, then insisted on getting discharged. He didn’t like lying bored in bed all day, nor the pungent smell of medicine.
When discharging from the hospital, Sophie did not call Robert Williams, she decided she would personally take Asher Land home.
She deftly packed his luggage and then helped him change out of the hospital gown.
While helping him change his coat, his arm struggled, unable to lift, sweat beading on his forehead.
"It hurts, doesn’t it?" She also furrowed her brows, feeling her heart ache along with him.
Seeing her worried look, Asher didn’t say much, he steeled himself, lifting his arm forcefully to put the coat on.
After packing, along with her own luggage, there were a total of two suitcases. She dragged one with her left hand, and one with her right hand,...
Sophie didn’t expect that she could be this strong on her own.
