A Relentless Pursuit for Love

Chapter 863

Thanks to Jace’s vague reply, Lucas stood there in the night for a long time before leaving,

Evervone said he was a successful man, but what kind of successful man had a broken family at his age?

Lucas felt suffocated. When he got to the car, a sharp pain hit his heart. He quickly held the car door and covered his heart with a pale face.

The driver got out of the car and came to help him. “Sir, are you all right?” He waved his hand and waited until the pain was gone. Then, he moved his pale lips. “I’m fine. I’m probably tired from all the traveling.” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

After he got into the car, he leaned back in the back seat and closed his eyes for a moment. Then, he took out his phone and turned it on.

There were as many as ten missed calls from Luna.

Lucas frowned irritably. When he wanted to shut his phone, his phone vibrated again. It was a phone call from Dr. Frank from the hospital.

After thinking about it, he still answered the call.

He still looked indifferent after the call ended. He calmly ordered his driver, “Go to the hospital.”

He rushed to the hospital and met Luna. Luna had been crying with fear and anguish in her eyes. She had a sense of vulnerability that Lucas had not seen for a long time.

She was not pretending. She was seriously vulnerable. After all, she had been with him for so many years. It would be a lie to say that he had no feelings for her. Besides, she was still pregnant with his child in her belly.

Lucas went over to her and stroked her face to reassure her.

Luna did not speak and just shed tears silently. Then, she broke down in tears.

“Why are you crying?” Lucas’s hand on her face paused for a moment. He was alarmed and asked, “Is the baby…”

His eyes strayed to Luna’s bulging belly, but his heart was pounding.

“No!” Luna said hurriedly. At the same time, the attending doctor walked into the ward and called Lucas outside to talk about her situation.

“Pregnant women are always emotionally unstable, which can easily lead to prenatal depression. It’s risky for her to be pregnant at this age and with her current physical condition. It’s best not to go against her wish and coax her more. If she needs anything or has a small temper, please try to help her.” Lucas listened solemnly and finally nodded at the doctor’s advice. That night, he slept with Luna on the hospital bed.

Luna had difficulty turning over, so she rested her head on his shoulder with tears streaming down her face.

First, she talked about their relationship for years and emphasized her unchanging affection for him from the beginning. “I know. Women like me are known as mistresses or homewreckers. I came from a good family and was not born cheap. I did not choose to love a married man, but I just fell in love with

you. What can I do? I’ve never wanted to fight Freya for anything, but she can’t tolerate or forgive me. I gave in again and again. Do I have to sacrifice my life before she stops?”

Then, she began to talk about her insecurities. “I know that people in the company referred to me as the chief’s wife respectfully, but none of them take me seriously. I don’t care about my name or status because they are unimportant. I’ve been called the bad guy for years. Why would I care more? However, now, I have to think about the child.”

“All parents will think of the child’s future. I don’t want my child to be born illegitimate. Lucas, do you understand me?” Lucas lay flat on his back and stared at the ceiling with his eyes open. How could he not understand what she was trying to say after such a long talk? She kept saying that she did not care about the name and status, but that was what she ever wanted.
