The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 289

"Julian."

Just when Julian was at a loss, Susan’s soft voice wafted into his ear, prompting him to raise his head and look at her.

"Susie, I..."

"Let me talk to Mom," Susan said calmly.

"But...” Julian involuntarily put himself in between the two women.

"Don't worry." Susan walked past Julian and went up t o Madam Shaw.

Seeing that Susan was walking toward her, Madam Shaw sneered, "Now what? Are you here to laugh at m e?"

"Mom." Susan placed her hand gently over her stomach. "I didn't know that I inherited a heart disease until recently. After knowing about it, I was devastated and I've struggled for an entire day and a night in the room. Now, I finally came to a conclusion.”

"What conclusion did you come to?" Madam Shaw frowned.

Jacob and Julian looked at Susan as well.

"I'm going to keep the baby," Susan announced calmly.

"You...” Madam Shaw was stunned.

According to the news that she received, the mortality rate was as high as 100% if Susan were to keep the baby. Set against such a circumstance, she was confident that Susan wouldn’t want the baby anymore. As such, she was greatly taken aback when Susan said she was going to keep the baby.

'Did she not know that it would cost her life if she were going to keep the baby? Is she out of her mind?'

Even though she never liked Susan, she did not want her to die.

At the same time, Julian and Jacob could no longer sit still when they heard what Susan said.

Julian went forward and grabbed her arm. "Please tell me this is a joke, Susie. Didn't we already agree on it? We must take the baby out."

"I just told you. Give me three days to think it over," Susan said, holding his gaze. Her eyes were filled with guilt but her face was lined with determination." However, I don't need three days to think about it any longer, Julian. I’ve made up my mind. I want to keep the child."

"You're out of your mind, Susie. I'll never agree to it!" Julian snarled as his grip on her arm grew tighter.

If they kept the baby, then Susan would...

No, he would never allow that to happen.

"Julian." Susan looked at him through a stream of tears. "If I never had the baby, then I probably wouldn't feel so much pain. However, he's in my stomach right now, and I can feel him growing day by day, just like a seed. He's still so small that he can't take charge of his life so he places all his trust in me. I’m his mother, and I've got the obligation to respond to his trust and protect him until he comes into this world.”

"Susie!"

Susan's voice was so mellow and soft that he was somewhat moved by her. She was right about their baby, but his decision would remain.

"Compared to the baby, I care more about you! It's my decision to abort the baby, so it has nothing to do with you. If the baby knew how to hate, let him hate me."
