Chapter 222 Shirley Appeared
Chapter 222 Shirley Appeared
After hanging up the phone, Hiram put his hands back on the bed and bent over to block Rachel, who
was preparing to escape. "Where are you planning to go?" he asked.
Rachel sighed. "Don't you need to go to work? Is it still early?"
"No, I don't need to. For me, nothing is more important than you!" Hiram smiled lazily and looked at her,
pulling her into his arms, quilt and all.
For the next few days without fail, Hiram spent all his time with Rachel.
They ate together, read in the study together in the mornings, watched movies together and took strolls
in the garden. But most of the time, they just stayed together in a peaceful silence.
It gave Rachel comfort and made her happy in a way she had never been before.
But the happiness came with a tinge of guilt, because Hiram had canceled his all work plans to stay
here with her like this.
One afternoon, Hiram was taking a nap while Rachel, who couldn't fall asleep, was curled up in his Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
arms and playing a game on his cell phone. Suddenly, his phone rang.
Rachel quickly pressed the mute button and looked at the sleeping Hiram. She took the phone and
strode to the balcony to answer it.
"Hiram, come home soon! We have a problem!" Joanna said anxiously.
"Mom, what happened?" Rachel asked, her heartbeat quickening. What on earth had happened?
"Rachel? Ah, I don't know how to say this. Shirley, Shirley said she's pregnant!" Glancing at Miranda
and Shirley in the living room, Joanna tried to lower her voice.
Rachel, beginning to feel faint, asked," Mom, what did you say? No, that can't be true!"
"Rachel, I don't know what happened either. Shirley is holding the result of a blood test now. I asked
the gynecologist too and she said it's possible, considering the modern medical technology. Ask Hiram
to be back soon!"
Hiram's cell phone fell to the ground, and Rachel felt the world around her disappear.
There was only one word in her mind..."pregnant."
It had only been half a month since the family gathering, and now Shirley was pregnant. Could it really
happen that fast?
Rachel didn't have any experience in this field, so she really didn't know.
Hiram, who had been woken up by all the noise, opened the balcony door and saw Rachel's distressed
expression. He strode towards her and asked," Rachel, what happened?"
Rachel shook her head and pushed him away. "Of course, how could Shirley be happy with such a
simple show? Her aim is this!
Why didn't I think of it before? Hiram, Shirley said she's pregnant. She's waiting for you now at your
parents' house!"
she roared, giving him another push.
Hiram froze without speaking. Then, he picked up the phone off the floor, grabbed her arm and went
back into the room. "Come with me!"
At the Rong family house...
When Rachel entered the house, she saw Shirley and Miranda sitting on the sofa at once.
Joanna, who was sitting opposite them, said," Shirley, Hiram's here. Tell him everything you told me!"
Taking Rachel to the sofa, Hiram glared at Shirley, who hadn't appeared for several days.
"Hiram, I know you hate me, but our kid is innocent!" Shirley said, taking out the blood test result and
placing it in front of Hiram.
The truth was, if Hiram hadn't sent his men to look for her everywhere and left her nowhere to hide, she
would appear before him only after having given birth to the child.
But now, she had no other choice. She could barely eat or sleep, so she was forced to return home.
She'd gone to Miranda, her sister-in-law, to ask for her help.
Hiram scanned the result. When he saw the doctor's remarks, he shot a cold stare at Shirley. "Are you
sure it's mine and not that doctor's?"
Shirley quickly shook her head. "It can't be his. I, I was his girlfriend, but we didn't make love recently.
I'm sure this baby is yours!"
"Hmm, really? Then there's nothing else to discuss. Go to the hospital and abort the child," Hiram said
coldly.
Shirley shook her head hysterically, and grasped Miranda's hand and cried," No! You can't make me do
that! Hiram, what I did was wrong, but this child is yours. You can't do this!"
She had guessed that Hiram would react this way, which was why she had tried to hide herself after the
pregnancy test had turned out positive. But now that she couldn't hide from them, she had had to
confront him.
This child was her chip.
If she could somehow give birth to this baby, she could force Rachel away step by step. Even if Lydia
came back, she would be her sister-in-law. So she had to make sure that she successfully pulled off
this step.
"You know better than anyone how you had that child! You know clearly about how you colluded with
that doctor to steal my sperm! Do you think I would treat such a child as mine?"
Gnashing his teeth, Hiram stared at her abdomen in distaste.
Meanwhile, Joanna stayed silent.
Although she wanted to have grandchildren, she didn't agree with this method of having a child.
She wanted her grandchildren to be born openly, not in this dirty way.
So even if the child was born, it would live a life of shame.
Rachel calmly watched the scene as it played out. She had no right to speak.
At this moment, she thought that Shirley was more crafty than Lydia.
Before, she'd thought that Shirley was only good at talking and lying. But now, she realized that when it
rained, it poured.
"Hello, Hardy, help me arrange a surgical abortion in half an hour. I'm coming to your hospital right
now!" Hiram said on the phone, and turned to Rachel. "Rachel, you should go back home first. I'll
return after seeing to this."
Just then, a heavy voice suddenly sounded in the doorway!
"No!
Hiram, you still don't have a child. It's not easy to have one, why do you want to abort it?"
Gavin had just returned from the United States. He had hurried back after hearing the news last night.
"No matter how the child came to be, as long as the pure blood of our family runs in its veins, you can't
be so cruel as to abort it!"
Gavin said, walking in.
When Shirley saw Gavin, she was relieved. It had been a risky move, but she had sent someone to
inform Gavin of the situation yesterday. And now, he was really back here.
She glanced at Rachel's shocked expression and the corners of her mouth turned up into a smug
smile.
