Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Making Up Her Mind
There truly is an inheritance of the throne at stake. Across the whole of Aethelgard, who dares to go against the Lancaster Family?
Elias Lancaster’s eyes turned serious, his thin lips slightly parted, "Are you sure?"
Theodore Lynch rolled his eyes, "Master Lancaster, you were the most aware of what happened that day. That young girl is definitely innocent.
I can dare say that these two children are definitely yours. If you don’t believe it, I can immediately arrange for a test."
Elias Lancaster looked at the ultrasound sheet, stayed silent for a while, "Got it."
He then called his special assistant Quentin Shaw to escort the person out.
Theodore Lynch left the Lancaster Group in low spirits.
However.....
As soon as he got in the car, he immediately called Elias Lancaster’s mother.
This piece of great news, how could only he know it? He had to share it with Old Madam Lancaster!
Elias Lancaster sat quietly in his office for a few minutes.
Then he called Quentin Shaw. "Investigate a person."
A moment later.
Serena Yeats’s detailed information was right in front of him. She was a girl from a poor family, unloved by her father and mother, and with a leech of a brother.
Even her college tuition was earned by herself through work. That night, she was actually sold by her parents to...
The more Elias Lancaster looked at the information, the colder his gaze became, not knowing what he was thinking.
The Lancaster Family child, hard to come by, can’t be left outside.
Not to mention two of them, the family would be overjoyed if they found out.
Meanwhile, Serena Yeats sat in the female dormitory.
It was June, and even staying still, one could feel the sweat ready to pour out.
But Serena Yeats felt cold all over, breaking out in a cold sweat.
She didn’t have any classes this afternoon and had been feeling very uncomfortable lately, plus her relative hadn’t visited for over a month.
That’s why she went to the hospital for a check-up, only to find out the results were like a bolt from the blue!
There was no one in the dormitory at this time, that’s right, she was isolated.
Just because she’s poor, they looked down on her, never talked to her, never played with her.
This feeling was awful, but she could only swallow her grievances, she didn’t have the time to dwell on these things.
The most important things for her every day were studying and making money, she had to work hard to climb out of this mire.
But just as she was working hard, fate played the biggest joke on her; she was pregnant!
Serena Yeats’s suppressed emotions could no longer hold and she buried her head in the blanket, crying out.
She cried in a very suppressed manner, her entire body trembling.
She was afraid someone would suddenly come back to the dormitory, and she was used to restraining herself from crying aloud because if heard at home, she’d only be beaten more horribly, scolded more harshly.
Serena Yeats’s mind was in turmoil, what was she going to do?
Why did that man lie to her?
But then she thought.
She couldn’t completely blame him, it was her own fault for trusting others so easily, she should have taken birth control.
But now, it was too late to regret it!
She considered going to find that man, not asking him to take responsibility but at least pay for the surgery.
But apart from his face, she knew nothing about him, how to find him?
If she went for the surgery herself, it would cost around three thousand, which was her six-month living expenses!
Practically a death sentence for her.
But if she didn’t have the surgery, how could she, a student, have the child, how to raise it? How to go to school?
Raise the child herself?
Serena Yeats cried herself to sleep in the dormitory, at this time, how could she have the heart to do her part-time job?
Darkness fell.
Serena Yeats was awakened by the laughter in the dormitory, she opened her eyes that were swollen like walnuts, took a look at her phone, she had slept until eight in the evening.
Her stomach was empty, she got up from bed without a sound and went straight to wash up on the balcony.
After washing up, she picked up her phone and walked out, hearing the sarcastic voice of her roommate Katherine Sinclair, "Serena Yeats got rich? Why didn’t you go to work?"
Katherine Sinclair’s family had a small business, some assets, and a big attitude, while the other two in the dormitory followed her around as her lackeys.
She held great malice towards Serena Yeats.
Upon her words, the other two immediately started saying some unbearable words.
Serena Yeats acted as if she didn’t hear them, not turning her head and walking out of the dorm.
Once she left.
Katherine Sinclair began, "Still trying to fly out of the mountains to change fate, ridiculous."
The other girl immediately brown-nosed, "Yeah, she might as well try selling herself while she’s still young and tender, might fetch a decent price."
The words dropped.
Katherine Sinclair was extremely pleased.
Serena Yeats had long been accustomed to it, over this past month, she had already gone numb.
But it still felt painful.
Sometimes she would think, perhaps her birth really was a mistake?
Her family didn’t like her because she wasn’t biologically theirs, her roommates hated her because her family was poor.
But she hadn’t done anything wrong.
Arriving at the cafeteria, she didn’t dare to eat well, and only bought a bun and a bowl of soup.
She had to carefully plan her spending, her parents didn’t give her money, she still had to pay tuition from her own work, if she didn’t save, it wouldn’t be enough.
With her stomach filled, she left the cafeteria and wandered around the campus.
She needed to calm down now, think about how to solve the most important problem at hand.
Under the dim night lights, her shadow stretched long, appearing silent, as if she was the only one left on the playground on campus.
After wandering aimlessly for an hour, Serena Yeats made up her mind, she had thought a lot, and decided how to walk her path.
Tomorrow, she would go for the surgery, better to have short-term pain than long-term pain, while it hadn’t reached an unmanageable stage yet.
But.....
She lowered her head to look at her flat abdomen, inside was a little one connected to her by blood.
After tomorrow, she would have to say goodbye to the little one.
She couldn’t help but caress her abdomen with her hand, a sour feeling in her nose, quickly looking up at the sky, not daring to let her tears fall.
I’m sorry, if it weren’t for the circumstances, I wouldn’t give you up.....
Baby, I’m sorry....
Serena Yeats sniffed, suppressed her tears, tidied up her emotions, and walked back to her dormitory.
What she didn’t know was.
Mrs. Lancaster, upon hearing from Theodore Lynch, knew Elias Lancaster had two children and almost floored the accelerator to rush to Aethelgard University to find someone!
She repeatedly confirmed with Theodore Lynch.
Is she really pregnant?
Is that girl innocent?
Is it truly just her son who is the only man?
When all the answers were affirmative.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Following was sheer joy.
The Lancaster Family finally had successors.
Mrs. Lancaster immediately called Elias Lancaster back to the Lancaster Family, "Is that our family’s hard-won bloodline, what are you planning?"
