PREGNANT BUT REJECTED AS A BILLIONAIRE WIFE

“Sir, how about it? Can we go to Mr. Andreas’ office right now? He just contacted me.”

Felix had indeed helped take Lucas to the hospital to bring Deasy, who suddenly lost consciousness.

While Lucas accompanied Deasy, who was receiving medical treatment from the emergency room team, Felix chose to wait for his boss in the car. However, after sixty minutes had passed, Lucas had not returned to the car.

Felix naturally felt puzzled. As there was a scheduled meeting with Andreas Morales, who is Lucas’ father, this afternoon, he decided to follow up. As he entered the hospital lobby, he found Lucas sitting quietly, looking down in front of the Emergency Room, as if pondering a serious problem.

“Sir…” called Felix in a slightly loud voice. But Lucas didn’t pay any attention to him. “Is everything alright, Mr. Lucas?”

Lucas, who was initially motionless, then looked up. He stared intensely at Felix, showing an expression that was difficult to interpret.

For God’s sake, Lucas seemed speechless. Stammering. It felt difficult for him to move his lips. He had prepared many words, but it seemed impossible to utter them.

“Sir?” Felix called again. “It was Ms. Deasy who fainted. Why does Mr. Lucas look pale? What’s really going on? Are you feeling unwell too, Mr. Lucas?”

Lucas took a deep breath. Calculatingly, he then answered his assistant’s question.

“Felix… this is serious. It’s serious, no matter what.”

Felix was taken aback. The man returned his gaze with an expression full of questions. He had no idea what Lucas had just said. He even wondered what exactly his boss meant by “serious.”

“What is serious, sir? Is Ms. Deasy’s condition severe? Or what?”

Lucas shook his head. Rising from his seat, he then moved closer to his assistant and spoke in a half-whisper.

“It turns out Deasy is pregnant.”

“Oh, so Ms. Deasy fainted because she’s pregnant,” Felix replied nonchalantly and without burden. Then, a few seconds later, he widened his eyes as if he had just realized the news Lucas had just given him. “What, sir? Ms. Deasy is pregnant?!”

“Hush!” Lucas reprimanded, while glaring at him.

“I’m sorry, sir. I’m seriously shocked. So, Ms. Deasy is currently pregnant?”

This time, Lucas nodded. Cupping his face with both hands and groaning, he seemed to be confused about what to do.

Actually, from the beginning, unintentionally sleeping with Deasy and realizing that he hadn’t used protection, Lucas had anticipated that something like this could happen.

That’s why he reassured Deasy several times that if something happened to her, as a gentleman, he was ready to take responsibility. However, Lucas never expected that the very thing he was worried about would happen so quickly.

While the task given by his father was not yet completed, Lucas had also not successfully called off the wedding with Devina. So, how could he just marry Deasy as he pleased?

Felix was equally shocked. He knew very well what had happened between Lucas and Deasy recently. From Lucas kindly escorting Deasy home because she was heavily drunk, to the unfortunate event that involved both of them.

“Felix…” Lucas called in a soft voice. He now looked quite confused, fortunately not insane. “What should I do? Deasy is pregnant now. When she wakes up, what should I say?”

“Who knows, maybe Ms. Deasy is pregnant with someone else’s child, not Mr. Lucas’s.”

Lucas shook his head. He looked up and then gazed back at his assistant. In his heart, he denied that Deasy was pregnant with another man’s child.

Lucas vividly remembered having been intimate with her. He also remembered that they had even engaged in intimate relations twice, not too far apart.

“No, I’m sure she’s pregnant because of what we did twice. You also saw how she sought evidence and convinced everyone that she had been with Lucas Morales. It proves that only Lucas Orion and Lucas Morales have been intimate with her. Besides, I’m the one who took her virginity.”

Felix nodded. It made sense, considering what his boss had explained. In his opinion, if Deasy hadn’t slept with another man, then the fetus inside her belly must be Lucas’s own flesh and blood.

“It seems Mr. Lucas is quite the playboy,” Felix accidentally muttered, inviting a scowl from Lucas.

“Felix! How could you make such a comment?”

“Sorry, sir. It slipped out. Actually, if Mr. Lucas and Miss Deasy’s relationship were official, Mr. Andreas would be happy and soon have a grandchild. But the problem now is that Mr. Lucas is currently engaged to Miss Devina. People can’t know that Mr. Lucas impregnated another woman. The Morales family would be embarrassed.”

Lucas’s shoulders slumped. His head suddenly felt dizzy, thinking about what steps he should take. But before he could find a way out, his phone rang. His father’s name was displayed as the caller.

“Oh my, Felix. What should I do? I’m sure I won’t run away from my responsibilities. It’s just that, in the beginning, what should I do to handle everything safely and under control?”

“Mr. Andreas has called several times. My advice is to go see him right away. He must have been waiting for you because there’s an important matter he wants to discuss urgently.”

Felix reminded him again. The man urged Lucas to get up from his seat and hurry.

“But, what about Deasy? She still hasn’t woken up until now. What if she finds out about the pregnancy and asks questions?”

Felix appeared to be thinking quickly, trying to find a temporary solution to the complicated problem facing his boss.

“Mr. Lucas, you go first. I’ll take care of Miss Deasy.”

“But… what if something happens later?”

Lucas felt uneasy. Regardless, Deasy had fainted and was now pregnant because of his actions too.

“It’s alright… Trust me, sir. I’ll handle it. We can discuss everything at Mr. Lucas’s home after meeting with Mr. Andreas. I know Mr. Lucas isn’t the type of man to shirk responsibilities. Together, we’ll figure out the next steps to take. We’ll do our best to keep everything under control.”

Upon hearing Felix’s explanation, Lucas tried to comply. Eventually, he decided to leave the hospital, even though he felt far from calm. Just imagine, there was a woman who was now pregnant with his child. No matter what, Lucas was 1000% certain that Deasy was indeed carrying his baby.

Meanwhile, Deasy, who had been in the examination room all this time, slowly began to regain consciousness. As soon as she realized she was in the hospital, she immediately got up and called the medical staff who had been waiting for her.

“Nurse, how long have I been here?”

The attending nurse nodded and even helped Deasy get out of bed.

“You’ve been here for quite some time. You arrived at the hospital unconscious.”

“Do you know who brought me to the hospital?”

The nurse nodded.

“There were two men who brought you to the hospital earlier. They seemed to be around the same age. One wore glasses, and the other was tall and fair-skinned. But the tall one left as soon as he brought you in. Now, the one with glasses is waiting for you outside the room.”

Deasy tried to recall, attempting to match the description given by the nurse to the people she knew at the office. As far as she could remember, there were many staff members at Alexis who wore glasses and had fair complexions. So, who could this nurse be referring to?

“Am I allowed to go home now?”

“Sure, you can. The doctor has examined you too.”

“But I’m fine, right? I mean, it’s not a big concern, even though I remember feeling suddenly dizzy and passing out.”

Deasy herself was confused as to why she suddenly felt dizzy and then lost consciousness. But after waking up, she didn’t feel anything different or unusual about herself.

“After the examination, the doctor diagnosed you with low blood and low hemoglobin levels. So, the doctor prescribed medication to increase and raise your hemoglobin levels.”

The nurse then handed Deasy a package containing various medications and provided further explanations before allowing her to leave the room.

“These are the medications you need to take and finish.”

“For medical treatment and medication expenses, can I go directly to the administrative department?” Deasy asked to confirm before stepping out.

“The medicine and hospital expenses have already been paid in full by the man waiting for you outside. So, no need to worry, and you can go home directly.”

Deasy became even more curious to meet this person. She wondered who was the one who had escorted her, covered the hospital expenses, and was now waiting for her.

“In that case, thank you very much, Nurse.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“You’re welcome. I pray for you and your baby to be healthy always.”

Initially, Deasy wanted to leave. However, the nurse’s final sentence left her extremely surprised.

“Huh? W-what, nurse? Baby-to-be? Pregnancy?”

The nurse who accompanied Deasy smiled widely.

“Yes, Miss. So, what happened to you is common and usually occurs in pregnant women. Or perhaps you didn’t know that you are currently pregnant?”

Deasy gaped. She reflexively shook her head, showing her confused expression, which elicited another smile from the nurse in front of her.

“So, you are indeed pregnant. The gestational age is now at seven weeks. Congratulations! I wish you and your baby good health.”

Deasy felt as if she had been struck by lightning. In all innocence, she brought a hand to her face, pinching her right cheek, hoping that she was still in a dream.

Oh God, this is real.

I’m pregnant.

Walking out of the Emergency Room in a daze, she seemed completely speechless. Not because of anything else, but because she was both confused and overwhelmed. Veronica’s fears all this time had finally come true.

Where can I hide my face?

And whose child is this, oh my goodness?

Then, a question arose in Deasy’s mind. To whom should she seek answers? Lucas Orion, perhaps?

Oh God… why do life’s trials have to come to this point?

Her mind was suddenly in turmoil. She thought it was not funny at all to marry that nerd of a man.

“Ms. Deasy…”

Lost in her thoughts, she heard someone call out and approach her. Lifting her face, Deasy found a man she had seen before.

“Y-yes?”

“Nice to meet you, I’m Felix, Mr. Lucas’s assistant. I was assigned to accompany and take you back home.”

Setting aside the dizziness and confusion she was feeling, Deasy recalled what the nurse said when she was in the Emergency Room. According to her, two people had accompanied her to the hospital. So, who was the other person? Could it be Lucas Morales, her boss?

“Thank you so much, Mr. Felix, for your help in bringing me to the hospital. Is Mr. Felix alone here?”

Felix shook his head.

“I was here with Mr. Lucas originally. But because of an urgent matter, he had to leave first. So, I was assigned to wait and accompany you after the examination.”

Deasy then nodded. Soon after, panic set in. It was dangerous if Lucas Morales found out about her current situation.

“But Mr. Lucas didn’t meet with the doctor or anything, right?”

Felix shook his head again.

“Mr. Lucas was only here briefly with you. He escorted you and then left immediately. I’ve been waiting here the whole time.”

Deasy breathed a sigh of relief. With her head pounding, she decided to head home. While contemplating what actions she should take next.
