748 Inform Elijah About The Baby

Adele didn’t die, although she regrettably wished she had. Death seemed like a better option than the hell she was about to face in her reality.

Quadruplets, is that it?

She was having four kids, huh?

How is that even possible?

As much as Adele could not remember the number of times she and Elijah went at it, was that enough to create Quadruplets? Didn’t they say those sperm had to swim a long way to get fertilized? Or was it a ploy from God to punish her for fornication when she had been chaste all this while? Even at that, wasn’t it too cruel?

According to the doctor, in her case, one set of Identical (monozygotic) twins occurs plus another two entirely separate embryos or another set of identical twins. The reason why the obstetrician had not been able to suspect the possibility of twins right away was that the other one had been hiding behind the other. However, like some sort of miracle, it stopped being shy plus the discovery of the other twins.

Adele didn’t know how she was able to hold herself together throughout the rest of the session with the obstetrician, but she did it somehow. And while the idea of multiple births always attracts attention and there was generally a great deal of fascination about the concept of more than one baby being born at the same time, it didn’t come risk-free.

Having rare multiple pregnancies like her case was high risk and she would have to double her checkups, unlike normal pregnancies. The obstetrician rambled on and on and all of that floated behind her vision.

Adele was like a living zombie, going along with whatever the doctor said until she was in the safety of her car, having left the hospital and her mother was driving instead of her. Apparently, being pregnant with Quadruplets was equivalent to being handicapped.

.....

The obstetrician mentioned there were chances of miscarrying one or all of the quadruplets. Not to mention Premature birth is a risk factor in multiple births and the father of the child had to know about the pregnancy – he had the right to know in case something happens to one or all of his kids. In one word, she would have to make contact with Elijah.

Adele burst into laughter at the thought and startled her mother. Angelica looked at her daughter anxiously, she knew that this wasn’t easy for her, but she hoped to God Adele wasn’t losing her mind.

She had sworn to take care of her child all by herself without the knowledge of Elijah and now she had to inform the bastard of the pregnancy she wanted so much to hide from him. Adele felt stuffy inside and she wanted to explode. It was unfair! She didn’t ask for any of this?! Why does she have to suffer this and the male goes scot?!

The lifestyle changes she would have to make hurt her the most. She would have to give up her position as Marcel’s underboss for this pregnancy! Everything that she had ever worked hard for! All of it would vanish in the twinkle of an eye as another takes her place.

Adele wanted to leash out! Scream at the world and its partiality. But she held it all in. This was not the time or place. No, she was a strong woman. She could do this. Crying over a problem was not going to solve it. She had to face it head-on. Yes, that sounds more like her. This was not the time to be emotional, but rather pragmatic.

The moment they got home, Adele hurried into the house, but her mother trailed after her.

“We have to talk about this, Adele,” Angelica said.

“There’s nothing to talk about. I fucked up big time and this is the consequence. I had to clean up the mess.” She told her.

“I’m talking about the baby’s father.”

Adele intended to go upstairs and have her rest, but hearing her mother bring up Elijah again, made her halt in her step. She turned to Anglica and said,

“What about the baby’s father?”

“You can’t hide this kind of pregnancy from him. What if something happens to the children? How would you explain that to him? At least give him the chance to make that choice.”

“Even if that choice affects me and Marcel?” Adele said with a sneer and the blank look on the woman’s face told her that she was completely clueless. Of course, a typical mistress. Angelica had no idea what was going on in the family.

To make sure she doesn’t get ideas in the future, Benjamin never taught her mother about the family business nor introduced her to other members of the family aside from the countable few she knew. So she had no idea of the tension in the family.

Adele said to her, “I told you that I can get a huge position and can take care of myself with it. However, they would take it away from me the moment they learn of this pregnancy and my position would be left vacant for the sharks who can’t wait to eat Marcel alive. So until I can’t hide it anymore, the baby’s father can’t learn of this and you best keep your word about not telling Benjamin either. This is your last chance to play your role as a mother in my life, Angelica. Betray my trust again and I won’t have a mother. ”

And with that being said, Adele returned to her room. She should have left her mother’s place by now, but for some strange reason, she couldn’t. Adele wasn’t ready yet to face the world and what the future awaits her. It seemed lonely.

If there was one person that she couldn’t hide this news from, it was Marcel. And so Adele called him right away as soon as she came inside the room and locked the door.

“Hello…” Marcel’s voice came alive and whatever Adele wanted to tell him vanished into the air and she began to cry instead.
