My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 957

It was conceived in the treasure vault that day.

It had indeed been more than a month since now.

So, had she been carrying this little baby in her belly since that day?

"But, but..." Florence realized something was wrong, "You hadn't eaten the Yelo fruit at that time, right? How did it...?"

It was logical that it should have been after Ernest had eaten the Yelo fruit that the toxicity was almost restrained before he had a chance to have a baby.

Florence instantly paled, "Could this child be a weak or stillborn child?"

Florence had taken the pill on her way to Raflad because she was afraid that she might accidentally conceive a stillborn child, which would not be born and would result in the tragic death of an innocent child.

But that day was special, and Ernest made love to her in the vault as if he were drugged.

They didn't do anything about it afterward.

Ernest hurriedly explained.

"Don't worry, the baby is fine. Nothing wrong will happen. I've had the best obstetrician and gynecologist come and check you out. The child is fine and has not been affected in any way."

"Really?"

Florence was still looking at Ernest as her eye glinted. Her heart was empty and she still couldn't quite believe it.

"It's true. I swear."

Ernest said, "Maybe it's the water in that hot pool. It's so close to the Yelo plant that it's supposed to have some of the effects of Yelo. I soaked in it for three days and it basically restrained the toxicity in my body."

So she became pregnant at that time.

And it was a healthy child.

That reasoning convinced Florence more or less. She gripped Ernest's hand tightly and said very seriously.

"Then you promise that you are not hiding anything from me and that what you say to me is 1totally true?"

Looking at Florence's cautious look, Ernest could not tell how much his heart ached.

If it wasn't for him, why would she be so worried and upset before she was even happy to be pregnant?

He reached out and took her in his arms, then said in a low, earnest voice as if he were taking a vow.

"Everything I said is true. I'm not hiding anything from you. Our baby is healthy."

The last four words were like the sweetest sound in the world to Florence now.

Her nose twitched all of a sudden and she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

She ran her slender, slightly trembling fingers over her belly. It was as flat as ever, so that she couldn't believe there was a baby inside.

Yet she seemed to feel the baby's presence through her skin.

Florence's heart suddenly softened.

The baby was a godsend that suddenly added someone important to her life, gave her an extra splash of color, and made Ernest have a real cure for his illness.

On the day the baby was born, Ernest would be completely restored to health, and there would no longer be the dreaded three-year deadline.

They would be a happy family of three.

"Ernest, I feel so surreal, like I'm dreaming."

Ernest hugged her and held her hand tightly in his palm.

He said in a deep voice, "Florence, let's have the wedding as scheduled."

The wedding.

Florence's heart fluttered again.

Originally, she and Ernest had agreed on everything and were to prepare for the wedding, which was scheduled for November 11.

But who would have expected such a sudden turn of events, when Theodore had to break up with the Fraser family?

All the preparations they had made for the wedding had been shattered.

Florence thought that their marriage would be out of the question any time soon.

But now...

She raised her head and looked at Ernest. Her eyes glinted with restlessness and expectation. She couldn't say no.

"I suppose many people would disapprove of us having a wedding?"

"We don't need to listen to other people's opinions on our marriage."

Ernest's tone was so dominant, so steadfast, that Florence finally found a place for her wandering heart to settle.

She looked straight at Ernest with teary eyes, then nodded heavily.

"Yes, I'll marry you as promised."

She knew that their wedding at this time would be fraught with trouble and inconvenience, and could even cause unforeseen things.

Theodore was watching, and the Turner family was also in crisis.

But Florence rubbed her belly and made up her mind.

Whether for her own sake or for the sake of this child, she was going to marry Ernest and become his wife.

Even if there were more obstacles ahead, she would walk alongside Ernest and would never leave him.

The child and the marriage made her feel very sweet. No trouble on the outside could affect their happiness at the moment.

They were in the room for a while longer before Ernest took Florence out of the room.

She had been lying down for too long and needed to move around for a while.

When she stepped out of the room, Florence was surprised to see Yuna kneeling in the corridor and the middle-aged doctor standing aside.

Florence looked over in confusion, "What's going on?"

Ernest briefly explained why.

Florence then realized what had happened after she had fainted.

She looked meaningfully at Yuna and didn't say anything.

Ernest led Florence over to the two, while Yuna tensed up with her forehead even more pressed to the floor.

The female doctor was also nervous. Her face was pale as she stood respectfully straight.

Being in the Turner family, she understood the situation right now.

Ernest and Theodore were in a fight.

And an event as big as Florence's pregnancy was bound to cause quite a stir. Ernest would probably want to keep it a secret from Theodore.

But she was Theodore's man. Once she left here, that meant Theodore would know.

If Ernest wanted to hide it, the only way to do it was to keep her from leaving, or rather, to kill her.

The clearer she knew what was at stake, the more frightened the doctor became, and the cold sweat fell in drops down her forehead.

She said in a panic.

"Mr., Mr. Hawkins, please believe that I am a doctor with work ethics. I will never say a word to the public as long as the patient wishes to remain confidential. I promise."

Ernest looked at the female doctor with sharp eyes. His cold gaze was like a cold knife that was stabbing into her skin.

The doctor's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

Suddenly, the cold, oppressive aura that had assaulted her suddenly disappeared.

The man in front of her smiled brightly.

Ernest was in a good mood when he said.

"It's a happy event that Florence is pregnant with my baby. I have to inform everyone and celebrate together. But I have to take a walk with Florence now and I don't have time. You tell my grandfather that his granddaughter-in-law is pregnant. And, by the way, tell him the wedding will go ahead as planned."
