You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 172

Lily came home to Deborah's sullen face. Deborah scolded her, "Didn't I tell you that you were grounded? You've turned a deaf ear to it?"

"Mom, I have something important to tell you." Lily led Deborah into her room and closed the door. Lowering her voice, she said, "I just found out that Irene is pregnant."

"Where did you hear that?" Deborah was taken aback. Lily told her everything that Joanne had said, making Deborah anxious. Joanne came to befriend Lily to deal with Irene together. However, she needed to verify this piece of news. She immediately called Marie. "Hey, I've heard that Irene is pregnant. Is that true?"

Marie, who was at work, turned stunned when she heard that. She said, "No way, Margaret has never brought this up."

"That's what Joanne told Lily. She said that it's to save Eden. I was still unconvinced, so here I am, asking you."

Deborah noticed Marie's ignorant state and calmed down. She thought that perhaps the news was false. From the bottom of her heart, she certainly hoped that Irene was not pregnant.

Marie was hopeful that Irene was not pregnant too. However, as they say, there would be no smoke without fire. Joanne could not have possibly faked an entire rumor to tell Lily.

With Margaret's desire for grandchildren, she would be excited that Irene was pregnant. Why didn't she share with her anything about it?

However, it was indeed possible to cure leukemia with the baby's cord blood. Marie pondered for a moment and said, "I'll find time to visit Margaret and ask her about this."

Marie was a person of her word. She immediately bought some fruits and went to visit the Myers family. Exhilarated to meet her, Margaret and her chatted for a while. Later, Marie deliberately brought up Eden's illness and asked Margaret about his treatment. Margaret sighed, "He is stable for now. Since he isn't a terminal leukemia patient, Edric said it shouldn't pose a huge problem. By the time Irene gives birth to the baby, they could use the baby's cord blood for treatment and cure him."

It was the first time for Margaret to mention Irene's pregnancy. Resentful, Marie thought that this old lady was so daring to keep this secret sealed within her! Fortunately, Joanne had leaked the news. Otherwise, Heaven knows how long it would have taken before they caught wind of this matter.

In her heart was abomination towards Margaret, but she remained her composure. "This is a joyous occasion for you. Not only will the child be cured, but you can also have another addition of grandchildren."

"Of course, having more grandchildren is a good thing, but their mother isn't such a good person. I'm having a headache just thinking about it! Do you know that Edric is bent on rekindling the flame with Irene? Lily just happens to be pregnant at the moment. What should we do now? My head is killing me just thinking about it."

There seemed to be something off in Margaret's tone. Now that the cat was out of the bag, and Margaret was not someone who kept her promises, she might regret her decision. Once she did so, the matter would be hard to deal with. Worried, Marie said, "The success rate of treating leukemia with the cord blood transfer is high, but it needs to be compatible to be successful."

Margaret naturally didn't understand what she meant. "What do you mean?"
