“Yeah.” Natalie nodded.
Joyce gasped. “How is that possible? Did Yulia knock them down or not?”
“Definitely not! But I don't have the evidence for that.” Natalie shook her head in agony.
Massaging her face, Joyce said self-mockingly, “Which gods did we offend? Why are we always involved in grudges
with the parents of people we love?”
Natalie remained silent.
Sighing, Joyce continued, “So, you don't even know if you're going to keep your baby, right?”
Natalie's gaze flitted around, signalling her silent acknowledgement.
“Yeah. Mr. Shane's certain that Yulia killed his parents, and even said that he regretted falling in love with you and
marrying you. In that case, he's determined to cut off all ties with you. Also...”
After a slight pause, Joyce continued, “If Yulia actually did it, Mr. Shane will definitely leave your side. He'll not
accept you, let alone your baby. After all, no one can possibly accept their enemy's daughter so nonchalantly.”

Natalie knew that Joyce was telling the truth.
Precisely so, her heart ached terribly.
If she kept her baby, the father would not acknowledge her child. The child would then be fatherless.
But if she did...
Natalie gripped her shirt above her stomach forcefully. She did not dare to dwell on it further because her heart
would ache the moment she thought about it.
She could not bear to do that!
Joyce knew what was on Natalie's mind. Sighing, she said, “Forget it. Let's not think about whether you should keep
the child or not. First, you should think about your relationship with Mr. Shane.”
Natalie bit her lips. “Oh, right. You didn't tell him about my pregnancy, right?”
“No.” Joyce shook her head. “I was so worried about you that I didn't even tell him. Should I tell him now?”
“No.” Natalie closed her eyes. “Let's keep it a secret from him first.”
She was afraid that Shane would tell her to abort her baby if she told him about her pregnancy now.
To him, she was his enemy's daughter.
Hence, she would wait till the detective discovered the truth before deciding if she should tell him By then, she
would probably be able to decide whether to keep the baby as well.
“Okay, I won't tell him.” Joyce shrugged.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door.
Joyce turned around and glanced at the door. “The chicken soup I ordered must've arrived.”
As she spoke, she went to open the door. As expected, the deliveryman was standing outside.
Joyce carried a bag in and placed it at the bedside table. The fragrance of the chicken soup drifted into their noses.
After pouring some soup into a bowl, she passed it to Natalie. “Here, drink up! You're slightly malnourished, so this
is to nourish you further.”
“Thank you, Joyce.” Natalie smiled weakly and took the bowl.
Sitting beside the bed, Joyce watched her drink the soup.

As Natalie was merely too exhausted and lacking in nourishment, she was fine after being given an IV drip. Hence,
she could leave the hospital.
She did not want to stay there either as her pregnancy might be revealed. Thus, she left the hospital with Joyce and
returned to the office.
When she left, Joyce even asked the doctor to prescribe some nutrient supplements to her. Natalie was rendered at
a loss for words.
In the afternoon, Natalie saw that it was getting late and left the office to fetch her kids.
When they saw her, they ran toward her happily, wanting to jump into her arms.
Usually, Natalie would just stand there and let the kids jump toward her.
However, she could not do that this time. She was pregnant, and the impact of their jumps was quite huge. Afraid
that they would collide with her stomach, she held her hand up to stop them.
“Mommy?” Sharon tilted her head to the side, not understanding why she was not allowed to hug Natalie.
Does she dislike me, just like how she loathes Daddy now?
Upon that thought, Sharon pouted as her eyes turned red.
On the other hand, Connor keenly noticed that Natalie was shielding her stomach carefully. His eyes lit up.
“Mommy, are we going to have a little sibling?”
