Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 316

All she had said was made up, but with that, James's eyes got duller.

At first, that idea had literally existed in his mind, but he learned later his grandpa would never like him as much as he liked Ralphie.

With no reply for a time, Lawson turned his back to Angela and reprimanded, "I asked you if you are pregnant, why are you rambling nonsensically?"

"I am. I ... I dare not to lie to you again," Angela answered. "If you doubt it, you can order someone to buy a pregnancy test kit, then let Dalilah see ... see me testing."

Dalilah had been his intimate maid since a few decades ago. Even if he didn't believe in his children, there's no way he would distrust Dalilah.

As those words reached her ears, Dalilah said: "I presume it doesn't look like the child was telling a lie. My lord, it doesn't take long to have a text. I suggest you may allow her to do it, lest you will regret it someday."

"Regret? How can it be possible for me?" In contrary to his words, Lawson consented.

Dalilah took the chance to offer to bind up Angela's wound, which gained Lawson's nod as well.

Before the servants could take action, James trotted to his room, took out a first aid box, and bound up Angela's wound briskly.

Alcohol got to the wound, causing a muscle contraction on Angela's arm, and on the end of her nose, drops of cold sweat were oozing.

"Does it hurt?" James looked up and asked.

Angela replied shaking her head, "It doesn't matter."

"Keeping a medicine chest and binding up the wound skillfully, have you ever intended to be a doctor?" Lawson remarked with a good deal of sarcasm.

James didn't turn his head: "Having gotten beaten almost every day, yet without nobody to ask for treatment, I had to learn myself."

Her voice was loud like he was talking about something insignificant.

But the people listening got touched. Angela opened her mouth but said nothing.

Lawson paused as his expression changed swiftly. He then snorted, "Blame it on your biological grandma!"

It's really agile of the servants in the Harvey's family, and not before long, they came back with pregnancy test kits and other equipment needed.

Dalilah led Angela to the restroom. After a few rounds of tests, there's no doubt that Angela was pregnant.

Before Lawson could flare up, Angela kneeled on the ground and cried in fear: "Last time I ... I lied to you only for my safety, and now I am absolutely ... absolutely honest to you. Please forgive ... me, I swear I will take good care of the baby ...."

Lawson sat on the sofa, looking down at her irresolutely. He didn't make a clear response of forgiving her or not, neither did he allow her to stand up.

"It's cold on the ground. Stand up." James made a grab at her arm.

Angela shook her head, got rid of his hand, and said: "Grandpa hasn't forgiven me, so I dare not stand up."

The blood on her face had been cleared while James was treating her wound, but after shedding streams of tears and snot, her face became a smeared mess.

"My lord, could you please allow her to stand up? She is pregnant. It's not good for the baby if she keeps kneeling on the ground." Dalilah interceded.

Lawson didn't reply, his deep wrinkles full of anger and doubt. He said to Angela, "There's no way an airbrain like you could figure out a plot to deceive me, let alone such a rigorous one."
