Chapter 126

Elgiri wouldn’t utter a word about it

Otherwise. Hawley would probably faint, or at the very least, his blood pressure would shoot through the roof and he’d be out cold for days.

‘Grandpa, why do you care so much about this kid?” Elgin slowly started. “I’ll have more kids in the future.”

The moment Hawley heard this, he blew his top. “Future? Will I even see the future? I’ll be six feet under by then, and even if you popped out ten, I wouldn’t see a single one!”

Then I just take their pictures to your grave.

“You” Hawley clutched his chest. “You’re trying to give me a heart attack! Elgin, I’m asking for one tiny favor, can’t you just grant me

that?”

Phedra kept smoothing things over, trying to calm him down, Your health is what matters, the surgery is still going on, and we don’t have the results yet. Don’t scare yourself.”

“Didn’t you hear what Elgin said!

“That’s not what the doctor said though.” Phedra replied, “Come on, let’s wait for the surgery to finish.

Then again, with her usual fake concern, she asked, “What happened to Letitia, anyway? She’s been fine, right? After all those health checks and all the supplements we’ve been sending her as nourishment, why’s she in the OR?”

Elgin answered nonchalantly, “She’s just not meant to have this child.”

Hearing this, Hawley was ready to hit the roof, “What do you mean not meant to?!”

“Grandpa, I know you want to have a great-grandchild. Once Letitia’s health is back on track, we’ll try for another baby.”

After a pause, Elgin added, “If all goes well, it could be this year.”

After all, the Ramirez family is loaded. They can afford the best doctors, nannies, and maternity nurses to take turns pampering and caring for Letitia.

It’s not like he had any fertility problem. He was in the prime of his life.

So having a child should be a piece of cake, right?

His kid with her… that’s gonna be AquaCity’s most pampered child.

“You… you’re not even panicking or sad? Hawley sensed something was off, “That’s your child, don’t you feel a thing?”
