Chapter 847
Albert went to ask Hylda if she was pregnant after hanging up the phone call with Stella. Hylda froze for a moment and asked,
"Who did you hear that from?’
Albert noticed that there was something weird about her reaction, so he did not tell her the truth. "Someone in the company said
that he saw you at the gynecology department in the hospital the other day."
Hylda had made an appointment to get an abortion that week. She did not expect that Albert would question her before it
happened. 'If I tell him that I'm not pregnant, with his suspicions, he would surely ask someone to get to the bottom of it. Things
wouldn't be pretty if he found out that I lied.1
Thinking about that, Hylda said with a bit of hesitation, "I... am pregnant."
Albert was surprised. It took them many years to conceive Hugo.
Moreover, the doctor told him that his sperm motility was low a few years ago. Albert thought that they would not be able to have
children anymore, and he certainly did not expect Hylda to be pregnant.
When the thought of having a son came to his mind, he quickly supported Hylda and said, "Why didn't you tell me such big
news?"
Hylda then looked a little sad. "It's not that I didn't tell you. I didn't want to tell you."
Albert frowned and said, "What?"
"When I went to the hospital for a checkup, the doctor said that my fetus was unstable. My blood sugar and blood pressure are
on the higher side. They told me that it would be dangerous for me to give birth."
"Which doctor said that? Did you ask for a second opinion? Are they sure about this?"
"It's the best hospital in the city. I'm sure they know what they're saying."
Albert pursed his lips and said, "Tim's wife was in her 40s when she gave birth to their youngest child. The doctors said that it
was dangerous too, but their child was fine. The doctors just like to scare people."
Hylda lied to Albert because she did not want the child. So, his words made her shudder. From his point of view, the child was
more important than the mother's safety. Hylda suppressed the pain in her chest and whispered, "I really want to have another
child with you, but the doctor said that the child would likely suffer from a birth defect if I give birth at this age. That's why I'm
worried..."
When Albert heard that, he hesitated. He thought about it for a while and said, "Okay. I'll find an expert in two days. We can find
a solution if there is something wrong with the child."
Hylda frowned and reluctantly agreed.
"By the way, where did you put the deed for the Spade family residence?" asked Albert.
Hylda paused then said, "It's in the safe. Why do you ask?"
"Ah. It's nothing. Just keep it safe."
Hylda acknowledged him and said, "It's payment time for Hugo's trust fund. Remember to transfer the money to me in the next
few days."
Albert frowned. "Why is it payment time again? What's the use of that thing anyway? Maybe we should just cancel it."
"We've paid that thing for years. We'd lose money if we cancel it now. It's for Hugo's future. If he ever falls sick or wants to start a
business, he'd
have the funds for it. Plus, you spent a lot of money on Rainee's treatment. Even Stella's piano is more expensive than this..."
"Alright, alright," said Albert. He was starting to get a headache with all the noise. "I'll send you the money, okay?"
"Isn't it better to spend money on your son rather than spending it somewhere else? He's the one who's going to take care of you
when you're all old and lying in the hospital bed," Hylda snorted.
Albert knew that he would not win the argument, so he stayed quiet and went back to his study. There was not much liquid
currency in his account. He knew he would be exposed if he kept withdrawing money without depositing.
He could no longer wait for Stella to make a decision. It would be too late if she agreed and got back together with Keegan.
Albert opened a drawer and grabbed a brown paper bag from the bottom. He was in deep thought for a long time before deciding
his next step.
Keegan went to the company early morning the next day. His temper was much better than usual in the meeting. It was most
likely because of the pleasant time he had last night.
"Did the date go well, Mr. Kane?" Aldor asked after the meeting.
"It's all thanks to the movie you booked," Keegan glanced at him and replied.
