She is a CEO novel Chapter 481

Lucia smiled, thought that Otis was indeed observant, and replied,

"No, there's one more thing I'd like to ask your favor for. No, that's not a favor, but protection."

"Protection?" Otis asked with a worried look in his eyes.

Lucia didn't answer right away, but looked around to make sure Sophie and Edwin weren't going back into the living room. She took a document out of her suitcase and handed it to Otis without thinking too much.

Otis took the document suspiciously. Seeing that Lucia nodded to himself, he opened it and read it.

When the folder was opened, it was a list of tests. Even though Otis knew very little about the female anatomy, he knew what the Chorionic gonadotropin and progesterone tests were for. He glanced quickly at the results at the bottom of the list.

Confirm pregnancy!

Raising his head, Otis looked at Lucia with complicated expression and asked hesitantly, "Lucia, are you pregnant?!"

The reason Otis didn't look happy was he thought the baby was Spencer's, and in the blink of an eye, he had already thought about all the reasons Lucia told him she was pregnant and asked him to protect her. But the next thing, Lucia's soft words shattered all his speculations.

"Yes," said Lucia, with her eyes glittering and her cheeks pinkish. Then she said with a gentle smile, "It's Arthur's."

Even though Otis was meticulous, he was very confused at this moment.

Seeing the shock and confusion in Otis's eyes, Lucia's cheeks reddened, and as her skin began to burn, she told Otis what had happened that night in Miami. If not to explain why, it was really hard for her to talk about this kind of thing.

After hearing Lucia's story, Otis knew what had happened, but now he asked carefully,

"Lucia... Don't you hate Arthur?"

Why did she look so happy?

Lucia smiled wryly and looked back at Otis. "Never hated," she replied earnestly. "Only love..."

It didn't take long for Otis to say, "Spencer is the one who donated his bone marrow to Teddy, isn't he?"

Lucia's eyes darkened and she nodded helplessly. For the first time, she expressed her guilt. "Otis, I'm sorry... I have to save Teddy..."

"No wonder... no wonder..." everything made sense in an instant. As expected, Lucia had been coerced by Spencer. Otis suppressed the anger in his heart and said,

"Why didn't you tell us? If we had known, we would never have let you suffer like this! It's just Spencer's bone marrow!"

Not only Otis, but everyone in his family had the confidence to draw Spencer's bone marrow out!

"I know," Otis said, feeling the significance of the report at hand. "If the unborn baby is genetically similar to Teddy, this baby could be the next person to save him!"

"Yes," said Lucia, nodding and wiping away her tears. "I'm sorry to say this to the baby, but it's my lifeline to Arthur, to Teddy, and I can't let anything happen to the baby!"

"When can we confirm?" Otis asked.

"I have to wait at least 18 weeks, which is four months, and I don't even know if the baby will make it," she said, frowning.

Otis thought for a moment and then asked, "You and Spencer never..."

"No," replied Lucia, shaking her head,

"Therefore, once he finds out that I am pregnant, he must have known that the child is not his. Every day, when I return to Spencer's house, I always keep my guard up. Even if Arthur does not know the truth, I would never let anyone touch me!"

Lucia clung to her loyalty to Arthur, word for word.

"Lucia..." Otis was filled with admiration. She was such a woman who had committed herself to a man, and it took a lot of tenacity and strength to keep herself innocent. Otis can't imagine what Lucia had been living through these past two months, not to mention that Spencer had already drugged her once.

"So I had to let him know it's Arthur's," Lucia continued.
