She picked up the ultrasound image, looking at the baby’s features that strikingly resembled Elijah’s. Disgust rose from her heart.
“Your little one looks just like you! It’s a boy, isn’t it?” Melinda asked with a smile.
Elijah answered with a nod, taking back the ultrasound image. “What brings you here?”
“My cousin is starting work today, so I thought I’d drop by.” Melinda’s eyes showed a gentle smile. “Congratulations, Elijah! Your son’s going to be just as brilliant as you.”
Elijah’s expression unconsciously softened.
Now, the child was the only light in his life.
Melinda maintained a professional smile as she left his office and returned to her own.
But the moment she entered her own office, her face changed.
She was furious!
Their child was perfectly fine!
How could fate be so cruel to her?!
Nora entered her office, noticing the scattered paperwork on her desk. She immediately asked, “What’s wrong, Melinda?”
“What’s wrong? I regret it!” Melinda gritted her teeth. “He didn’t want kids, so I removed my uterus to gain his trust. Now, he’s having a son with Violette!”
Nora picked up the scattered papers, plancing them on the table. “You sacrificed too much for him. That’s why he took you for granted.”
“I know! But without my sacrifices, I wouldn’t have the chance to be by his side! Look at you. You are trying so hard to be like Violette, but has he ever glanced your way? His heart is always so cold and unfathomable!”
“Calm down, Melinda. If we stick together, we can definitely beat Violette.” Nora scoffed, “As long as she hasn’t given birth yet, it doesn’t count!”
Melinda took a deep breath. “I won’t let Violette give birth to that brat! I could have kids too. Elijah can’t do this to me!”
In the afternoon, Elijah got in touch with Kylee.
