Pregnant With Twins: My CEO’s Tricky Love novel Chapter 172

Both Elliot and Jasper’s faces stiffened hearing the doctor.

“What? You sure my sister is pregnant?”

Jasper asked seriously while Elliot frowned.

“How long?”

The doctor realized something was odd, he answered carefully.

“It’s still early, it all depends on when was her last menstrual.”

“Are you sure there is no mistake?”

Jasper asked again and the doctor shook his head.

“Mr Holland, Ms Holland is pregnant.”

Jasper was in disbelieve, he adjusted his emotion and asked the doctor again.

“My sister passed out just now, is the baby alright? And her body?”

“Her medical report is fine, sugar level is on the lower side, and she needs balance and nutrients food.”

Jasper didn’t know what to say, he kept his mouth shut.

Elliot swept a glance at her son and turned to the doctor.

“Yes, thank you.”

Elliot asked Jasper with a stiffened face after the doctor was gone.

“Do you know that your sister has a boyfriend? Is Jason the father? Or someone else?”

Jasper shook.

“Selena’s routine is work and home, she goes out once in a while during the weekend, but spend most of her time at the police station and home. Even with Jason, they don’t go out that often and don’t look like they are in love. Mom, was Selena raped?”

Elliot analyzed her son to see if he was lying.

She knew Selena love Jasper and Elliot was afraid that they might end up together.

They were siblings, though not blood related but they must not be together.

“Let’s ask her when she’s awake.”

Elliot’s heart was heavy, she didn’t know why but she sensed that something was wrong.

Selena woke up half an hour later.

She then realized she was in the hospital. She looked at her mom and brother sitting at the side and asked.

“Why am I here in the hospital?”

Jasper hadn’t replied and Elliot asked.

“Selena, did someone bully you?”

Selena shook in confusion, Elliot continued.

“Doctor told us you passed out due to malnutrition because you are pregnant. Who is the father? Jason?”

A bomb exploded in Selena’s head when she heard her mom.

Pregnant? How possible?

Selena’s lips trembled, she was nervous. Jasper saw her expression and asked.

“Did someone bullied you? Selena, Jason? Tell me, I will avenge you!”

“No… No one bullied me…”

Selena explained nervously while Jasper asked again.

“Well then who is the father? Do you have a boyfriend? Call him up and we will discuss about marriage.”

Selena couldn’t think anymore, she didn’t know what to say.

If she said someone raped her, her brother and mom will definitely avenge her.

But, if she lied about the father, she couldn’t think of anyone who would lie with her.

Her face turned white when she thought of her brother who was also the father of her child, she dared not utter a word.

“Jasper… It’s not like that, I visited the pub and didn’t know who the father is.”

Selena told a lie at the end.

“Slap” Elliot threw a slap onto Selena’s face.

Jasper was astonished.

“Mom, why did you slap her? She is the victim!”

Elliot was infuriated.

“Stop defending her! I told her to love herself and not to get involved in a complicated relationship, but look at her now! She’s pregnant and doesn't know who the father is? What a shame to the Holland family!”

Selena felt her cheek was burning, but she dared not speak, she kept her head low.

“Mom, it had happened, stop saying things that hurt her. She’s pregnant, we need to solve the problem instead of fighting. Selena, this is an accident, since we don’t know who the father is, let’s go for abortion.”

Selena looked at Jasper in tremendous shocked hearing what he said. Her lips trembled nonstop.

This is the child of her and her brother, she would never give up.

Elliot nodded in agreement.

“Your brother is right, you don’t need to keep the baby since you don’t know who the father is. Selena, you are still young, you need to get married and have a family. Who will want to marry you if you have a child now? Do you want to marry a commoner? A daughter of a family like us will never marry others bringing a child out of wedlock. Listen to me and arrange for an abortion.”

“I want to keep this child, I like children…”

Selena gathered her courage and uttered the words looking at Elliot and Jasper.

Elliot’s face turned green, she raised her hand but was stopped by Jasper.

“Mom, calm down, let me speak to her, she’s still young, don’t get angry.”

Elliot was infuriated. She had enough headache knowing her adopted daughter fell in love with Jasper, she loved her as her own.

So she arranged for her to be married to Jason, a proper family.

Jason had a good family background and he was a proper man, they grew up together and would treat her well.

She had made a very good arrangement for her but she slept with others and got pregnant. She was angry and sad at the same time.

“Stop defending her! If there’s a man she loves, bring him to me and they shall get married and give birth to the baby! But she wants to keep the baby without knowing the father, now, how can I calm down?”

Elliot shouted while Jasper comforted her.

“Mom, Selena is still young, let’s take it slowly.”

“Selena, apologize to mom now, what did you say? Being a single mom, are you insane? Even though we could afford to raise a child but why do you want to be a single mom? It’s not worth it.”

Jasper was a womanizer, he was used to the scams between women, using a child as a weapon to get married.

But she was his sister, he had to put himself into her shoes.

He understood if she was in love and wanted to give birth to the child of her loved one, but a stranger? It was not worth it.

Selena dared not speak, she knew her reason was not solid enough.

But if she insisted, it would only make things worse.

“Yes, I just… Like children so much… Jasper, Mom, please arrange the abortion for me…”

Selena thought she could agree with her brother and mom for now.

And tried fleeing from the hospital later. She wanted to go overseas and give birth to the child.

This was the only thing she could ever have with her brother in her entire life.

Selena thought there will never be anything between her and Jasper, but this accident had given her a chance to own something that belonged to both of them. She would never give up.

She needed to think of a way to escape from the hospital.

Elliot calmed down seeing Selena agreed to an abortion.

“Since you agree, I will arrange the abortion, Selena, don’t blame me, there’s plenty of opportunities for you to be a mother in the future, and now is not the time.”

Selena nodded sadly.

“Mom, I understand, I wasn’t thinking straight just now.”

Jasper knew abortion caused harm both physically and mentally, so he comforted her.

“Selena, there are tons of good man in the world, I will arrange blind dates for you every month until you met someone you loves and you can have a baby with him.”

Selena smiled helplessly, she was now trying to keep the baby of the man she loved.

But she couldn’t say it out, she could only make fake promises in front of her mom and brother.

Selena fainted just now, so the doctor didn’t recommend surgery immediately, he advised monitoring her condition for a few days in the hospital first.

Selena let out a sigh of relief, there was plenty to prepare if she wanted to escape.

The Holland was a powerful family, they could easily find her if her escape plan wasn’t perfect.

Both Jasper and Elliot didn’t know her plan, they thought she agreed and that was it.

Elliot went home without worries and instructed the kitchen to prepare chicken soup and some nutritious soup for maternity.

While Jasper went back to the office.

Selena on the other hand called Jason. It was only Jason who knew the truth.

Selena thought only with Jason's help that she could escape and stay hidden from the Holland.

“Jason, I need a favour,” Selena said after the call was connected.

She told Jason that she was pregnant as well as her mom and brother’s response.

“Jason, I want to keep this child, I want to escape from here, can you help me?”

Jason was stunned, he didn’t say anything for a moment and then asked carefully.

“Selena, he is your biological related brother, you can’t have his child, the child will turn out mutant, this is common knowledge and you should know it. And I didn’t know that you are in love with your brother, you are still young, there’s still time for you to turn around, I will never reveal what happened that night, but I disagree with your intention to keep the child. It’s not fair for your brother and it will harm you.”

Selena sobbed.

“Jason, neither you nor Jasper knew that I’m not his biological related sister, I am adopted. Jasper’s parents are my adopted parents, no outsider knows about this…”

Jason was shocked, he really didn’t know about this.

“Selena, don’t lie to me about this, are you telling the truth?”

Selena explained what happened to her.

The Holland had a daughter but was kidnapped along with Jasper. Jasper saw his sister murdered before his eyes and had since developed psychological issues.

She was adopted later and Jasper thought his sister was back, and their parents kept this secret until now.

They were afraid that Jasper couldn’t handle the trauma once the truth was revealed.

Selena knew all these, she didn’t want to reveal it but only Jason could help her now.

Jason would not help if she didn’t explain this.

“So that was what happened. I trust you, Selena… In fact, Jasper is an adult now, he couldn’t handle his sister’s death before but I’m sure he could now. Do you really want to keep it secret forever?”

Tears rolled down from Selena's eyes.

“Jason, I want to but I can’t… I'm not that selfless, I might tell the truth if Jasper like me as a woman, but he treats me only as his sister, not a woman. I can’t do that, I can’t pollute his love, I feel myself disgusting, I can’t let Jasper know that I have this kind of twisted feeling towards him.”

Jason didn’t have a sister, Selena grew up with them and he always treated her as his sister. It pained him seeing what happened to Selena.

“I get it, I will think of a way but both your mom and brother would be angry with your escape.”

“I can’t care much, they won’t let me keep this baby, I can’t… And I don’t want to argue with them either, the best thing is to leave. They might be angry, but they will accept as time goes by… I will be depressed if Jasper and Mom force me to undergo an abortion.”

“Okay, I will arrange for you to go abroad and make you a fake passport so that they can't track you. Wait for my call at the hospital, I will call you with a different number so they won’t know it was me that helped you.”

Selena nodded. “Thank you, Jason, I know I’ve troubled you but you’re the only one that could help me now, I’m sorry.”

“No worries, you are just giving birth to a child, not doing something evil, Jasper and his mom might be angry but they will be fine in time. Don’t feel guilty, you are a mother with the right to keep the baby in your womb.”

The war online continued, Robert was in his villa when he received a call from Ivan.

“Robert, I had some people check all the documents in my computer to see if they could restore my deleted files, guess what I found? My black box was connected to the cloud, all videos were automatically stored there. I rarely use the account, so I forgot about this. My men discovered this cloud account and I’m logged in now and managed to retrieve the video about the accident.”
