Chapter 1: Chapter 1: She’s Pregnant?
"Congratulations, you’re pregnant..."
"Huh?"
Serena Yeats sat on the hospital bench, holding the sheet, with the doctor’s words echoing in her mind.
She couldn’t feel any joy, her whole being was in a daze.
Her hand slowly covered her abdomen.
Serena recalled the events from over a month ago.
Over a month ago.
Serena came to Aethelgard to attend university; that night was her dorm mate’s birthday party.
But that day, her mother sold her to a fifty-year-old man.
Sent her to the man’s bed.
At that time, all she could feel was burning heat, desperately trying to clear her mind.
"Little beauty, I’m here!"
Serena bit her tongue hard, the pain brought her some clarity.
She struggled mightily, then grabbed an ashtray from the nightstand and smashed it against the man’s head.
"Ah..!"
The man’s wails echoed.
Serena seized the chance to dash out of the room.
She hadn’t run far when she bumped into someone.
She looked up at the handsome face of the man.
So handsome.
"Help me."
Seeing the old man about to catch up,
the handsome man glanced at the frightened doe that crashed into his arms, with an unusual flush on her face.
Looks like someone set her up.
He bent down, picked her up, and carried her to room 888 on the other side.
Looking at the naive and innocent face, twisting in discomfort,
his body reacted uncontrollably.
Elias Lancaster touched her face, "Are you of age?"
Serena seemed to hear someone asking her, while pulling at her clothes, she replied, "Y-yes... I am."
Without concerns, Elias acted on instinct and intuition.
As Elias leaned closer, Serena felt a coolness, "So refreshing..."
Serena felt like a boat floating on the sea, drifting and sinking.
The next morning, Serena woke up, recalling last night’s events, her body felt like it had been run over, not belonging to her anymore.
Her first reaction was to leave here immediately.
But as soon as her feet touched the ground.
"Ah!"
The man on the bed woke up.
Upon hearing the noise, Elias Lancaster awoke, saw the woman sitting on the floor.
He got up, put on a robe, walked over, picked her up, and placed her back on the bed.
"Last night...."
"I’m sorry!"
Elias didn’t expect her first reaction to be an apology.
"That... last night did you... did you use protec...tion?" Serena’s voice grew quieter.
But the response she received was his low, three-word reply, "I’m sterile."
Looking at her trembling body, her terrified appearance, his damned body reacted again.
He turned and headed to the bathroom.
Serena hurriedly got up, dressed, and staggered out of the room.
She knew she wasn’t the Yeats Family’s biological daughter; she overheard her parents talking when she was in middle school.
She was adopted, often beaten and scolded, frequently denied meals.
But she never thought her mother would sell her.
In hindsight, it was all her fault for naively believing the man’s words; he said he was sterile, so she didn’t even take birth control.
Her university life was busy, between classes, she worked part-time to earn living and tuition money.
If she’d known she’d get pregnant with that man’s child, she’d take birth control even if it killed her.
But what should she do now?
Sitting on the hospital bench, lost and helpless, the doctor said the surgery would cost thousands.
Where could she get so much money?
She put the examination results into her bag, walked out of the hospital like a zombie.
At this time, a car stopped at the hospital entrance, and a man got out, looking in her direction.
Isn’t this the girl Master Lancaster asked him to investigate?
The girl who took Master Lancaster’s virginity, but after investigating that day, Master Lancaster didn’t say anything further.
Why would she be at the hospital, was she sick?
Suddenly, a possibility flashed in his mind. He immediately called the hospital director to get Serena Yeats’ medical records.
The director didn’t expect this master to visit today, and quickly made the arrangements.
A few minutes later, Theodore Lynch learned why Serena Yeats was at the hospital.
Upon seeing pregnancy, Theodore sat up straight, "Are you sure she’s really pregnant?"
The director smiled beside him, "Yes, Young Master Lynch, the ultrasound was taken; there’s no mistake, and it’s twins."
Theodore Lynch, "!!!"
He looked at the timeline, over a month, which matched the night Master Lancaster lost his virginity.
He immediately slapped his thigh and laughed.
What a coincidence!
Could these two children be Master Lancaster’s?
He asked the hotel manager, who said they saw blood on the sheets during the cleanup.
To be sure, he also inquired; the girl was clean, so the two children were likely Master Lancaster’s.
It should be Master Lancaster’s!
Theodore Lynch hurried out of the hospital, floored the gas towards Lancaster Group.
He reached Lancaster Group at top speed, excitedly arriving at the CEO’s office door.
The secretarial office, knowing his relationship with Elias Lancaster, let him through.
Theodore Lynch didn’t even knock, just pushed the office door open, seeing a few people in a meeting inside.
Without a word, he drove everyone out and sat opposite Elias Lancaster.
Elias Lancaster looked up at him, his face stern, eyes seemingly saying you’d better have something important.
But Theodore wasn’t afraid of his coldness and raised an eyebrow, "Master Lancaster, do you remember that girl you lost your virginity to?"
Of course, Elias Lancaster remembered; she was his first and only woman, he was interested in her, but not much.
Seeing his expression, Theodore knew he remembered, and his smile grew wider.
"Can you guess where I met her today?"
Elias tossed aside the pen he was holding and stared at him.
Theodore’s smile was bright, "I saw her at the hospital entrance, so I casually checked, and guess what?"
Elias coldly spat out a word, "Talk."
Theodore shivered, awkwardly touched the tip of his nose, "She’s pregnant."
Elias didn’t change his expression.
Because Theodore’s jokes weren’t new, he was sterile, that was impossible.
Their family had struggled with offspring for generations, perhaps due to ancestral karma, causing The Lancaster Family’s heirs to be scarce.
He’s the ninth generation, all resulted in a single lineage, very challenging.
So, just one night, it was impossible.
Theodore was anxious at his lack of reaction.
Directly placed the ultrasound sheet in front of him, "I’m not joking with you, look at the sheet yourself, the girl’s amazing, carrying two at once!"
Elias glanced at the ultrasound sheet, noting the timeline, a slight crack appeared on his cold face, "How do you know they’re mine?"
He couldn’t believe it.
Theodore, "..."
"Remember, you asked me to investigate her, right? Just out of the hospital, I checked again, other than that night, the girl stayed at school, attending classes.
Look at the timeline, do the math, if they’re not yours, whose else could they be? Master Lancaster, your family throne finally has an heir!"
