Chapter 736 Do You Not Want Our Baby?

Deirdre was hesitant. Tm not too sure if it’s true. I’ll still need to get myself checked.”

She did not lie about her irregular menstrual cycle recently.

However, she was well aware that she was not pregnant because she was already diagnosed with infertility. Her irregular menstrual cycle was a result of her being under pressure because of the events she had recently experienced.

Brendan hugged her tightly, and the joy in his voice could not be concealed when he said, “Really? Really? You’re pregnant, Deirdre! You’re pregnant with my baby!”

Deirdre was caught in a daze. She could not tell if the joy in his voice was real.

If he really wanted her to get pregnant so eagerly, why did he cause her miscarriage in prison so mercilessly in the past? Why did he have to do it in such an unforgettable way without giving her time to mentally prepare herself? i

Brendan was so happy that he was slightly frantic. He picked her up and twirled a few rounds while he muttered,” Deirdre… a baby. Our baby! It’s our baby!”

Deirdre was jolted back to reality and lowered her head in feigned embarrassment.

“Let’s get it checked! We’ll get it checked tomorrow!” Brendan came to remember something and immediately placed Deirdre on the bed so cautiously as if he was caring for a baby. “I was so overjoyed earlier that I almost hurt you. You should sleep by yourself today. If you are pregnant, I worry that I might accidentally push on the baby in my sleep.”

Deirdre was stunned, but she nodded. She did not wish to sleep on the same bed as Brendan because she would lose her mind even in her sleep.

The day passed peacefully. The next day, Brendan made an appointment with a doctor early in the morning, just as Deirdre expected. He took her to the doctor’s appointment.

Deirdre attempted to figure out Brendan’s intention along the way.

‘Is he looking forward to the arrival of the baby sincerely, or is he trying to find out if I’m pregnant so he can continue to make plans to ensure that I won’t get pregnant?’

Either one of the answers was bad for Deirdre. Hence, her face was ghastly pale throughout the drive.

Brendan was worried that she was experiencing motion sickness, so he covered her body with his jacket and winded down the window for fresh air.

Deirdre went through a series of examinations in the hospital, and Brendan took the whole process so seriously beyond Deirdre’s expectations. He was extremely meticulous in every way.

The doctor adjusted his glasses after he read the test result and said,

“Congratulations, Miss McKinnon. You’re pregnant.”

“What?”

It was not Brendan who exclaimed that but Deirdre. Her mind went blank, her ears were humming, and her face turned ghastly pale due to the shock.

Brendan could tell that her reaction was definitely not out of joy, so his gaze turned dim for a moment. “Deirdre, aren’t you looking forward to the baby?”

‘Why would I look forward to the baby?’

Deirdre felt her entire body shaking, and the only thing that came into her mind was ‘fate deals some people a rotten hand’.

If this had taken place a few days ago, she would have certainly been delighted and looked forward to the child’s arrival. ‘Yet, why? Why does it have to happen now?

‘How can I be pregnant? I hate Brendan and loathe him for destroying my life. I would rather die than bear his child!

Moreover, how can I flee if I’m pregnant with the baby?’

Deirdre was already suffering from an emotional breakdown in her heart, but she kept up her usual expression in

Brendan’s presence and asked the doctor, “Are you sure?”

The doctor was certain. ‘You’re pregnant about a month along.”

“What’s going on, Deirdre?” Brendan’s voice deepened ever so slightly, and his dark eyes were tainted with complicated emotions. There was no telling what was on his mind. Then, he bent over and said, “Do you not want this baby? Do you not want our baby?”
