Mr. Pretentious: Miss Valerius, He is Begging for a Title-Chapter 169: Get Rid of the Child in Your Womb!

Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Get Rid of the Child in Your Womb!
Eleanor Valerius had not fully come to her senses.
Upon hearing this sentence, her whole body stiffened, and her heart pounded like a drum.
She couldn’t even tell whose voice was speaking.
The secret about the pregnancy...
Has it been discovered!?
"Do you know you’re pregnant?"
This voice reached her ears even more clearly.
It was Damian Lowell.
Suddenly, Eleanor Valerius breathed a heavy sigh of relief, as long as it wasn’t Sebastian Ford.
The lights in the hospital room were very bright.
Damian Lowell stood up, and his condescending gaze could clearly capture her facial reaction.
"Although you haven’t answered me, the answer is obvious."
Eleanor Valerius had known she was pregnant for a while.
The child in her belly was Sebastian Ford’s.
However, once Damian Lowell knew about this, his emotions began to spiral out of control.
"When did this happen? Is this why you’re avoiding Sebastian Ford? Does he still not know? You can’t let him know. Since there’s time now, and since you don’t want this child, the delay cannot continue."
Damian Lowell had always known Eleanor and Sebastian’s relationship was one of coercion.
She had no freedom in her unequal position, and the child in her belly should not exist.
Eleanor Valerius closed her eyes and took a deep breath; she hadn’t expected Damian Lowell to be the first to know about her pregnancy.
She didn’t answer, as if caught off guard by having the secret exposed.
"Eleanor, this child cannot stay; it must be aborted!"
Damian Lowell grew more resolute in her attitude.
In the next instant, with a tense and assertive tone, he said, "I’ll call the doctor over to inquire about the method that causes the least harm to your body."
Upon hearing this, Eleanor Valerius’s emotions seemed to be triggered.
"I never said I want to undergo an abortion."
After learning about the pregnancy, she seemed to have gotten used to the baby’s presence, which was a vibrant little life.
She was contemplating whether to keep the child but hadn’t thought about abortion.
"Why?"
Damian Lowell frowned at her, unable to understand as he questioned, "You don’t want an abortion; do you actually want to give birth to this child? Eleanor, have you thought of the consequences? You’re so young, and you’re not married. This child will become your burden!"
The issue Eleanor wanted to avoid was thus laid bare by Damian Lowell.
She supported her body to sit up, equally agitated.
"I know! I’m considering it; the baby is my flesh and blood, I can’t be so cruel!"
"Eleanor! Don’t be foolish."
Damian Lowell walked to the bedside, his hands holding her shoulders slightly stiff and forceful.
"This is Sebastian Ford’s child; you can’t keep it!"
"This is also my child!"
Eleanor Valerius looked up, her eyes slowly reddening, her throat slightly choked as she said, "I know how much responsibility and ability is required to give birth to a child; I don’t have the courage right now, nor have I figured out how to live in the future, but I won’t undergo an abortion."
She admitted she still had feelings for Sebastian; she also had an instinctive kinship with the baby in her belly.
Her response to Damian Lowell was also a decision after confirming her own heart.
However, Damian Lowell lightly shook his head, unable to accept it.
"Eleanor, you’re not thinking clearly right now; before the child is born it’s just an embryo, not a complete life. You shouldn’t be bound by this child for a lifetime, or you’ll never escape the captivity Sebastian Ford has over you; choosing an abortion is taking responsibility for yourself."
Listening to Damian Lowell’s cold voice somewhat angered Eleanor.
"This is my matter; you don’t need to decide."
"I know you’re afraid of Sebastian Ford; I’ll arrange for a private hospital for the procedure."
Damian Lowell was determined to force her to undergo the procedure.
Suddenly, Eleanor Valerius stared at him incredulously, angrily retorting, "Lawyer Lowell, we’re just friends; I don’t need you to make decisions for me. The baby is mine, and my body is mine; I have the right to decide my own affairs."
Somehow, she suddenly felt a bit afraid Damian Lowell would do something drastic.
The baby in her belly and she were linked heart and soul.
How could she bear to say no!
"I don’t want to discuss this anymore with you."
Eleanor Valerius pressed the call bell next to her bed.
Shortly afterward, a nurse walked in.
"I don’t want IVs anymore; I want to be discharged and go home."
Damian Lowell watched Eleanor’s reaction, knowing she wanted to refuse to hide from him.
"The doctor said your body is weak and needs good rest."
"None of your business!"
Feeling rushed, Eleanor Valerius left the hospital room, hands protectively covering her belly.
Damian Lowell chased after her, watching her distant back with a painful gaze as he said, "Eleanor, am I really no longer your Vincent, does your affair truly have nothing to do with me?"
Upon hearing this, Eleanor Valerius paused her steps unexpectedly.
She hadn’t expected Damian Lowell to reveal his identity and reconnect with her at this moment.
"Did you see the letter I sent Chloe? Did you recognize me at the hospital back then?"
At this moment, Damian Lowell’s steps slowly approached her, his voice suppressed with overwhelming emotion: "Eleanor, when we separated in the orphanage, we promised each other. I vowed I’d protect you and Chloe all my life, and you said you’d surely recognize me in the future.
To you, I’m not Damian Lowell; I’m your Vincent whom you can completely trust and rely on. Don’t keep maintaining distance from me."
"Why didn’t you admit it sooner?"
Eleanor Valerius abruptly turned, tears shimmering as she looked at Damian Lowell, questioning, "I asked twice! Both times you denied it!"
Why, when she felt trapped with nowhere to go, hadn’t he used his Vincent identity to protect her?
Why come to recognize her now, when she was more deeply infatuated with Sebastian Ford?
"I don’t know what hardship prevented you from admitting it. Since you’re not Vincent, you’re just the ordinary friend Lawyer Lowell to me."
"I’m sorry, Eleanor; I came too late."
Damian Lowell’s heart ached with guilt, gently embracing Eleanor who stood rigidly before him.
"From the first reunion meeting, I hoped you’d recognize me as Vincent. I returned to Aethelgard using Damian Lowell’s identity; I wanted to fulfill my promise to protect you, and I never imagined life with the Valerius Family was like this.
Even after breaking up with the Lancaster Family, you were still trapped without freedom by Sebastian Ford. Now I want to help you."
Damian Lowell hoped he wasn’t too late!
"It’s me who should apologize; I couldn’t recognize you."
Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Eleanor Valerius gently pushed away Damian Lowell’s unfamiliar embrace.
Liking Sebastian Ford was not Damian Lowell’s fault.
He was the sole glimmer she’d held onto while desperately struggling in hell.
Because of the baby’s appearance, it seemed she hadn’t regretted deliberately getting involved with Sebastian Ford.
"Eleanor, it’s not too late for us to reconnect now!"
Damian Lowell saw Eleanor gradually letting go of her resistance and cautioned sincerely, "My tone was harsh earlier; I didn’t mean to pressure you into making decisions. Eleanor, but you need to know how terrifying the Ford Family is, your relationship status with Sebastian Ford makes this child’s existence unseeable; if born, he’d be an illegitimate child."
Illegitimate child...
These words struck heavily on Eleanor Valerius’s heart.
"Eleanor, this child can’t be born; I don’t want to see you get hurt."
Damian Lowell wanted to persuade Eleanor Valerius to make the right choice.
At this time, Eleanor’s lips slightly trembled; it was a cruel reality she had to face.
Mr. Ford certainly wouldn’t agree to her identity to give birth to the Ford Family’s child.
Sebastian Ford would not allow her secret pregnancy to be calculated.
Reluctantly, she chose to conceal it.
Damian Lowell’s words were not wrong.
While Sebastian Ford still doesn’t know, should she really abandon this child?
