Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 1290

Matthew's grin deepened upon seeing the triumphant smile on his wife's face. He would do everything just to make her stay by his side forever, even giving her all his properties.

After putting the letter of commitment and cards given by Matthew in the drawer, Erica locked it and kept the key.

'As long as this letter is with me, I will always be Mrs. Huo. Ha-ha! From now on, I can start dealing with Phoebe more unscrupulously, ' she thought inwardly.

Matthew also locked his copy of the letter in a safe.

He thought that when they got old in the future, they would read it again together.

Blair had believed that Yvette's marriage was the most significant thing in the Li family. But she was wrong. She would be surprised that she was going to have a grandchild in a few months.

That day, she was in a shopping mall to buy a new razor for Wesley. She was on her way to the cashier when she received a call from Chantel. "Hi, Chantel. What's up?"

"Auntie Blair..." A woman's weak voice was heard from the other end of the line.

"Chantel? What's wrong?" She could sense from Chantel's trembling voice that something was wrong. It was as if she was scared of something.

In the hospital, Chantel was grasping the bed sheet helplessly. She knew that sooner or later, she wouldn't be able to hide her pregnancy from Blair and Wesley anymore, so she needed to tell them now. "Auntie, I'm in the hospital."

"What? Why are you there? What happened to you? Which hospital?" Blair was so worried that she bombarded Chantel with a series of questions. The new semester had just started two days ago. Why was she in the hospital?

She and Wesley immediately went to the hospital that Chantel told her.

They went straight to the obstetrics and gynecology department and entered one of the wards there.

In one of the three beds at the corner of the room, a thin figure curled up.

Blair's heart ached upon recognizing that it was Chantel. 'We have been taking care of her at home for quite a while now. Why does she still look so thin?' she thought. "Chantel?" she called.

Upon hearing her voice, Chantel turned to face the door. As soon as she saw them, she immediately sat up and greeted them in a low voice, "Uncle Wesley. Auntie Blair."

Staring at her anxiously, Blair couldn't help asking, "What happened? Why do you look so pale?"

Chantel bit her lower lip nervously as she lost the courage to tell them the truth. If it weren't for the fact that her baby was in danger, she wouldn't have bothered Wesley and Blair to come over.

The couple waited for a long time, but Chantel remained silent, which made Blair feel more anxious.

Wesley held and squeezed her hand lightly, hinting her to calm down. Then he turned to Chantel, who had been looking at the floor all the while. "Chantel, just rest for now. Your aunt and I will be back later."

This time, Chantel looked up. With guilt written all over her face, she just nodded.

Since Chantel came to their family, she had always been pleasing and docile. She had never done things recklessly. Most of the time, she came back to the Li family house at night to rest. She only stayed in the dorm overnight if her classes finished late or if she needed time to study her lessons alone.

So, Blair's first question to Wesley was, "Do you think Chantel was abused by a bad guy and just didn't tell us?"

Wesley thought that it was possible, but he didn't conclude yet. Instead, he said, "I'll go through the admission procedures, so we can transfer her to a private room. Go and talk to her first. Maybe this time, she will speak up. If someone really abused her, assure her that we will let that man pay." Although Chantel wasn't their biological daughter, they treated her as a legitimate member of the Li family. There was no way that they would take her for granted.

"That's right. Go ahead and finish the admission procedures, so we can move her to a better ward. I don't like the strong smell in her current ward. She won't be comfortable there." "Alright.

I'll go ahead." The couple parted ways to do what they needed to do.

Inside the ward, Chantel held Blair's hand and said apologetically, "Auntie, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to lie to you. I'm ready to tell you everything now." Earlier, she was too nervous to say anything. But after having some time alone, she was able to calm down and prepare herself.

Blair nodded and stroked her messy hair. "Don't worry about it yet. Your uncle is currently processing your admission. Have a rest for now."

The gentleness in her voice made Chantel's eyes red and misty. She held her hand tighter and confessed, "Auntie, I'm pregnant." After saying it, she felt like a burden was finally removed from her heart.

"We already know. We went to your doctor just now, and she told us. Chantel, what really happened?"

Chantel took a deep breath first before she said, "Auntie, if I tell you everything, I hope that you and Uncle Wesley won't get mad at me now. After my baby is born, I will accept it even if you beat and curse as much as you want."
