Chapter 978 Stay with Rhys
Jenna couldn’t help but feel conflicted when she thought about the high cost of treatment and her brother’s tuition.
“Is there anything else? Do you want to leave with the baby?”
Rhys’ face darkened slightly. He wondered why Jenna was hesitating.
“Don’t forget I’m the father of the baby!”
Jenna’s hands, which were tightly clenched together, loosened weakly. She forced a bitter smile on her lips. How could she forget this fact? But whether she stayed or left, she had no say in it.
“I don’t know what you’re worried about,” Rhys said calmly. “But you can rest assured that I can afford your mother’s medical expenses and your brother’s tuition, as long as you stay with me and have this child.” It seemed like Rhys had read Jenna’s thoughts. More importantly, his request made it almost impossible for her to refuse.
Jenna gritted her teeth and looked up at Rhys. “I promised Mrs. Williams I would leave.”
If she hadn’t promised Mrs. Williams to leave, then things wouldn’t be so difficult for her right now.
“You want to take my child away from the Williams family?” In an instant, Rhys’ eyebrows furrowed deeply.
“If my mother finds out about this situation,” he continued while waving his hand dismissively,” she won’t let you go easily since after all you are carrying my baby.”
His mother always wanted him to settle down and start a family; now he had a baby, so surely his mother would be happier than anyone else.
“Leave it to me,” he said firmly. “Don’t think too much about it; we’ll make an agreement: You stay with me until after giving birth, then I won’t stop whatever decision you make afterwards.”
Jenna looked at Rhys blankly for a moment.
For a moment, Jenna couldn’t explain whether it was herself or the child who was pitiful.
“I will notify the butler and ask him to pay attention. You should rest at home today,” Rhys decided that he would go to the hospital now and tell his mother about this matter.
But Rhys didn’t expect that when he arrived at the hospital ward, he saw Breanna chatting happily with Mrs. Williams.
The two of them were laughing, and Rhys had no idea what they were talking about.
“Oh, isn’t this my busy son? Finally comes see me?” Mrs. Williams saw Rhys and immediately greeted him warmly while patting Breanna’s hand.
“It’s rare for you to come over here too! If it weren’t for Breanna accompanying me, I’m afraid I’d be so bored,” she continued praising him.
Breanna blushed slightly at her words, looking shy. “Mrs. Williams, I just came by during my off hours to chat with you for a bit.”
“Besides,” she added with a smile, “Mr. Williams came over after finishing his work anyway.”
Breanna was clearly trying to help Rhys out by speaking on his behalf in every way possible, showing tactfulness, which made Mrs. Williams even more satisfied than before. “You have such a sweet tongue! Do you think I don’t know what my own son is thinking? If only Jenna could be as thoughtful as you!”
Mrs. Williams sighed wistfully as Breanna listened attentively; her lips curling up higher involuntarily into an even bigger smile upon hearing these words.
“Mom,” said Rhys frowning slightly at Breanna after understanding what his mother meant by those words. “Jenna is a good woman.”
But Mrs. Williams just laughed lightly; she couldn’t see anything good about Jenna whatsoever.
Rhys had not wanted outsiders involved in the William family affairs, but it was clear that his mother had taken a liking towards Breanna, so he chose not get entangled further with her anymore, instead choosing this moment to reveal everything.
“Mom, Jenna is pregnant with my child.”
“What did you say?”
What’s going on?
Isn’t Jenna’s baby the kidnapper’s?
How did it suddenly become Rhys’?This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
“How could that child be your child?”
Clearly, Jenna admitted in front of her that the child was not Rhys’.
Could it be that Jenna wanted to continue staying in the Williams family, so she lied and deceived Rhys!
“Jenna misunderstood. The man who slept with her that day was me, and I know this very well.”
Seeing the surprised look on his mother’s face, Rhys knew she had probably misunderstood too.
Mrs. Williams looked at Rhys with a complex expression.
She knew her son too well. If Jenna is pregnant, no matter what happens, Rhys will never let her leave the Williams family.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Williams gently patted Breanna’s hand. “Good girl, you go out first and let me talk to him about this.”
Although Breanna really wanted to stay here longer, when she heard Mrs. Williams say this, she obediently left.
“When Jenna talked to me before,” Mrs. Williams sighed as if making a compromise on the matter, “she didn’t mention that the child was yours. Since it is yours, then let her stay.”
After hearing what Mrs. Williams said, Rhys breathed a sigh of relief. The two discussed this matter for a few more minutes before he left quickly.
So when Breanna pushed open the door and came in, she saw Mrs. Williams sitting by the bedside and sighing deeply.
“What happened, Mrs. Williams?” Breanna asked concernedly.
Mrs. Williams sighed softly, the expression on her face mixed with disgust and unwillingness.
The reason why she signed an agreement with Jenna in the first place was to make sure Rhys focused on his family.
However, during their time together, Jenna did not meet any of her requirements. She certainly couldn’t allow Jenna to give birth to an heir for the Williams Group.
But if she took action to get rid of this child, it would displease Rhys and may even damage the relationship between mother and son.
She then glanced at Breanna’s eager face and quickly came up with an idea.
