Chapter 64

Letitia was utterly stunned as she watched the doctor’s lips moving.

Elgin actually hadn’t gone through with it he didn’t taken her baby away! Instead, he had instructed the doctor to save the baby. Why, though? This was so not his style!

Had Elgin suddenly grown a heart?

“Relax, both you and the fetus are stable,” the doc said. “Rest up for a couple of days and you’ll be good to leave.”

She nodded dumbly, her hand caressing her belly. Her baby was still there.

Letitia broke into a grin, her eyes curving into crescents. She hadn’t lost her baby! But why, when she had tearfully accused Elgin of killing her child, why hadn’t he spilled the beans?

And, she had even bitten him. Yet, he kept mum.

Elgin’s thought process was truly bizarre and puzzling. Letitia couldn’t for the life of her figure out what he was thinking.

He had the chance to get rid of the baby but chose not to, and he didn’t even want to tell her himself. Could it be her death wish had really freaked him out?

“Letitia? Letitia?” Vidonia waved her hand in front of Letitia’s face repeatedly, “What’s got you so spaced out?”

She blinked, “Oh… it’s nothing.”

“As a mom-to-be, you gotta be careful. You nearly scared me to death,” Vidonia said as she pulled up a chair to sit. “I’ve got a new role now, godmother to your kid, so I better step up.”

Letitia couldn’t stop grinning at her.

Vidonia was confused by her laughter, “Hey, you look so weird, what’s wrong?”

Letitia hugged her tightly, “It’s just… I’m over the moon. Getting back what you lost feels so amazing.”

“What did you lose?”

“Let’s eat first!” Letitia said, “I’m starving, and so is the baby!”

“I’m hungry too! Vidonia replied, “As soon as I heard you were hospitalized, I rushed over.”

“Let’s dig in together! There’s way too much for me to finish anyway.”

Vidonia grabbed a fork, “Alright, let’s see what your personal chef’s made for you.”
