Mr. Pretentious: Miss Valerius, He is Begging for a Title-Chapter 161: Caught by Him at the Hospital After Secretly Getting Pregnant

Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Caught by Him at the Hospital After Secretly Getting Pregnant
Eleanor Valerius was suffering from insomnia.
Unable to sleep while tossing and turning in bed, the tiny life inside her belly completely disrupted her plans.
She had never thought she would be carrying Sebastian Ford’s child, feeling conflicted and unsure of how to handle it.
"No one can know... especially not him!"
In the car today, when she had pressured him about marriage and breakup, Sebastian’s anger was so intense that he almost seemed ready to tear her apart.
She had just entertained the thought of whether the pregnancy could be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations with him; Sebastian would certainly suspect her of using the pregnancy to threaten him.
"I am the baby’s mother. This child is in my belly, and it’s my decision whether to have him or not. Sebastian Ford and the Ford Family shouldn’t forcibly intervene. I still have time, and I will consider it carefully..."
Eleanor didn’t even dare to think about any hypothetical decisions now.
She lay on her side, curling her body slightly, her palm unconsciously resting on her abdomen.
She had never thought about having children, and having Sebastian Ford’s child was even more unthinkable!
But the baby in her belly was also a life; was it too cruel not to want him due to various concerns?
"Baby, how old are you?"
Eleanor suddenly couldn’t help but talk to herself.
"Since the last time I had a period, it’s been less than two months. The baby should be just over a month old. No wonder I vomited several times; I thought it was a stomach issue, but it turned out to be morning sickness. I feel like I can’t yet sense your presence; life is truly miraculous..."
The bedroom was quiet, her voice filled with endless thoughts.
Since her second sister passed away, the Valerius Family’s cage had become even colder.
Eleanor knew she essentially lacked love; she cherished and valued sibling affection.
She never expected to have a blood bond of mother and child.
"I wonder if you’re a boy or a girl, baby..."
Thinking about it, Eleanor felt even more conflicted.
"If it wasn’t for secretly carrying his child, would there be fewer worries?"
But if it wasn’t Sebastian Ford.
She wouldn’t have willingly made love, and there would be no chance of being pregnant.
"Sebastian Ford wants to imprison me, to claim my body and soul; it’s his pride that refuses to let him be the loser. But he doesn’t know, my heart has long since been defenseless against him. The only thing I can hold onto is not letting him know. A secret infatuation with no good outcome, ending without a trace, is still dignified."
Eleanor didn’t realize that the softness in her heart had been awakened by the baby.
At this moment, footsteps were heard approaching from outside the door.
Regina Jennings had returned.
She passed by the door, struggling with the handle but couldn’t open it.
Eleanor had locked it in advance to guard against Regina Jennings.
"You just wait!"
Regina Jennings left this statement outside and stormed off in anger.
She really had no leverage in her hands, so she could only keep Eleanor Valerius and try to find a way to sell her at a high price!
At this moment, Eleanor also knew well the dangerous situation she faced staying at the Valerius Family.
The 300,000 she had painstakingly saved before had been used up.
Without money, there were fewer choices or escape routes.
The only job she could earn money from was as Assistant Valerius, but she couldn’t return to the company.
Thinking of Sebastian Ford, Eleanor remained in a state of continuous panic.
"Tomorrow morning, I must take the pregnancy test out and throw it away, absolutely must not be discovered."
...
The next day.
Eleanor went to the hospital to visit her sister.
After surgery, Chloe Valerius was recovering well and had been transferred to a regular ward.
Sitting there, Eleanor thought of her second sister’s expectant smile, an ache in her heart.
While accompanying Chloe, she recalled their childhood memories with the second sister, unwilling to forget, as these were proof of Ivy Valerius’s existence.
"Sis, I’m sleepy, I want to sleep for a while."
Chloe didn’t understand or care about her sister’s feelings for Ivy Valerius.
Dead was dead, there was no blood relation anyway.
"Okay, you sleep for a bit, I’ll go buy you some food."
Eleanor looked at Chloe’s frail appearance, determined to protect her, to prevent the same tragedy from happening again.
Leaving the inpatient ward, she was about to go outside to buy something delicious.
Unexpectedly, she met many familiar faces in the hospital lobby.
Including Mason Monroe.
"Assistant Valerius, it turns out you arrived at the hospital first."
Mason explained proactively, unsurprised: "Today, the company arranged for employee welfare check-ups at the hospital."
"Ah? Oh."
Eleanor was somewhat dazed.
"Mr. Ford is here, too."
Mason, very observant, stepped aside.
Hearing this, before Eleanor could react, she was taken by surprise when she saw Sebastian Ford, dressed in a tailored suit, striding towards her.
Standing among the crowd, Sebastian Ford was undoubtedly the center of attention.
With his tall, outstanding figure and striking, handsome face, without the faintest hint of a smile, he exuded an air of aloof elegance.
Their eyes met.
It felt as if Sebastian crashed right into Eleanor’s unguarded heart.
In that moment, Eleanor’s heartbeat and breathing became erratic and uncontrolled, as she stood there breathlessly, staring at him.
Yet Sebastian’s footsteps didn’t stop, drawing closer and closer, nearly brushing against her.
The surrounding employees, eyes wide with curiosity.
As Sebastian’s dominating presence engulfed her, Eleanor suddenly snapped awake, her body jolting as she quickly stepped back to avoid him.
Her reaction was somewhat excessive, almost losing her balance.
In a reflexive response, Sebastian reached out.
But Eleanor, more sensitive, shielded her bag and continued to retreat.
"Mr. Ford, my apologies."
Even her form of address avoided familiarity.
Having just broken up yesterday, running into him the next day caught her unprepared.
Moreover, in her bag was a pregnancy test with two lines.
This was a huge secret!
Seeing Eleanor treating him like a venomous snake, an ominous, dangerous light flickered in Sebastian Ford’s eyes.
Breaking up and being this ruthless, was this woman heartless!
"Assistant Valerius, are you alright?"
Mason, now the mouthpiece for Master Ford, expressed concern: "Today, if you have time, you can also have a physical check-up. This hospital is under Mr. Ford’s name, and employee benefits are free."
If not for Miss Valerius being here, Mr. Ford wouldn’t personally arrange for employees to come to the hospital, pretending to bump into her by chance!
"No need! I’m not feeling unwell, and I don’t want a physical check-up!"
With vigilance in her eyes, Eleanor immediately refused.
How could she have a check-up? The pregnancy would be discovered!
Perhaps feeling too guilty, she couldn’t help sneaking another glance at Sebastian Ford.
She appeared more flustered than ever!
Secretly carrying his child, it was akin to a monumental crime.
Moreover, wanting to avenge her second sister, she hadn’t had time to consider what to do with the child.
She couldn’t face Sebastian Ford.
"Assistant Valerius, you’ve even turned down employee benefits on leave?"
Sebastian studied her abnormal behavior with furrowed brows, angry.
That day when she was feeling unwell and vomiting, she should have a check-up to see.
To know, he arranged the company’s physicals, to disguise that damned concern he had for her, without wanting Eleanor Valerius to notice.
Yet Eleanor Valerius didn’t appreciate it at all.
"Mr. Ford, I am reconsidering my resignation due to personal reasons, therefore I don’t need the employee benefits."
Eleanor maintained a calm, deep breath.
Avoiding Sebastian Ford’s dark gaze, she lowered her eyes and hurriedly left.
She needed to destroy the pregnancy test!
Behind her, Sebastian Ford unbiddenly watched her leave, his breathing blocked, chest tight with frustration.
Even as Assistant Valerius she no longer wanted?
Overnight, he was no longer her lover, possibly not even her boss.
Only left with a solitary elder identity, unacknowledged today.
Didn’t Eleanor even feel a tinge of regret?
Could this not have been some ploy or trick to manipulate emotions?
Sebastian Ford felt very unsettled.
Why was he the only one to care all along?
"Mr. Ford, aren’t you going after her? Miss Valerius has gone far."
Mason’s risky words caused the proud Mr. Ford to lose composure on the spot!
