590 Chapter 589
âŠ.
Peter tensed up upon hearing this and turned his head.
Susan was shouting at them. âEven if you make me go to jail, I wonât let you off!â
She acted somewhat out of control, feeling fear-stricken at the thought of Foxâs poison. Her lie had been exposed, and it seemed like she could finally reveal her true self.
When Keira heard this, she frowned. âWhat?â
Susan started laughing. âDo you know that the azoospermia report for Ellis was all orchestrated by Fox? After you exposed that conspiracy, Fox then had me poison him! Heâll never be able to have children in his life!â
Susan laughed uproariously.
She knew she couldnât escape this predicament. Now that the lie about saving Peter was exposed, Peterâs perception of her was no longer filtered, and the way he looked at her was filled with hatred.
She was doomed.
If death were imminent, then she would take a few down with her!
After she shouted these words, she looked toward Keira, âAll of this is because of you! Keera, do you know? It was all your fault! Wasnât your first mission to make Ellis marry Mary? To prevent you from completing this mission, Fox cooked up that report on azoospermia! Keera, youâre a calamity! Itâs you who brought disaster upon the Olsen family, and I came to the Olsen family because of you! Youâre the reason I got together with that idiot Peter!â
Upon hearing this, Keira was stunned.
She slowly turned her head and saw Ellisâs expression.
She quickly said, âCall the family doctor!â
The family doctor arrived promptly. After examining Ellis, he frowned. âMr. Ellis has indeed been poisoned, and while itâs a bit exaggerated to say heâll never be able to have children in his lifetime, itâs true for at least the next five or maybe ten years.â
This statement made Ellis sway.
He couldnât help but look dazedly toward the bedroom upstairs⊠He was somehow glad that Mary wasnât here.
AzoospermiaâŠ
Previously, he had been misled to suspect Mary and hurt her. Now, this must be retribution. He really couldnât have childrenâŠ
Ellis went limp.
Seeing this, Keira felt somewhat distressed. âEllisâŠâ
âIâm okay. Donât worry. Continue with the interrogation. Iâll go upstairs to rest for a bitâŠâ
Ellis slowly ascended the stairs.
Watching him from behind, Keira couldnât help but feel puzzled.
Didnât he know that Mary was still pregnant?
It had been three and a half months!
Maryâs belly was already showing!
âŠ
Upstairs.
Mary was also looking at her lower abdomen with concern.
The bump was becoming noticeable, yet the childâs father hadnât asked her a single question. Since she chose to forgive Ellis and returned home, she had been unsure of how to broach the topic of the child; thus, she had never brought it up.
But absurdly, Ellis looked at her belly every day, preferring to believe she had just gained weight, never suspecting the truth!
Even this morning, he had touched her belly and exclaimed, âThe confinement really does make one plump; this belly of yours feels quite pleasant to the touch.â
Mary was dumbfounded.
Mary didnât know what to say.
Just as she was pondering how to tell Ellis the truth, the door was pushed open, and Ellis entered.
Mary immediately stood up.
She looked straight at Ellis. âWhy are you back?â
Ellis sat down next to her and hesitantly looked at her before his gaze fell on her stomach.
Ellis asked, âDo you like children?â
Mary immediately became nervous. Had he noticed something?
She cradled her abdomen with both hands, her face shining with a motherâs glow, and she blurted out, âI do. Donât you?â
Ellis was momentarily stunned. He wanted to say he did, too. He had once anticipated their own child, but after losing the first one, he never dared to say those words again.
His eyes even reddened slightly.
Tears slid from the corners of his eyes as he murmured dejectedly, âMaryâŠâ
âHmm?â
âCan we⊠could we have a child when weâre forty?â
âWhat?â
Ellis was in extreme pain, his tears rolling down as he said, âI didnât want that child, and thatâs why we lost the chance to have one. Iâll never be able to have children in this lifetime. If I could go back one month, I definitely wouldnât have made such a stupid mistakeâŠâ
Mary didnât quite understand, and her expression darkened. âWhat do you mean? You donât want children?â
Ellis shook his head. âItâs not that I donât want them, but rather⊠I canât have them⊠Iâve been poisoned⊠The azoospermia last time was a lie, but this time⊠itâs trueâŠâ
Mary was perplexed.
Upon hearing this, she didnât know whether to cry or laugh!
She couldnât help but give Ellis a little shove. âAnyway, I have some good news to share with you.â
Ellis asked, âWhat is it?â
He stood up and wiped away his tears.
Seeing this, Mary took his hand and gently placed it on her belly. âFeel this carefully. Do you know whatâs here?â
Ellis was confused.
His eyes widened slowly, and he stared at Mary in disbeliefâŠ
Downstairs.
Susan was still ranting arrogantly. âEllis has no children, so the heir of the family has no descendants, and the competition for the next heir should start again! Haha, the Olsen family is finished!â
Hearing that, Mr. Olsen shook slightly. âWhat did you say?!â
Ellis was his eldest son. When it was first said that Ellis was sterile, Mr. Olsen was somewhat unable to accept it. After barely discovering that it was a false alarm, they ended up losing the child.
But now, this woman said his son couldnât have children again!
Mr. Olsen clutched at his chest, feeling as though he could hardly breathe!
Susan then shouted, âUncle, are you filled with hatred now? You should hate Keera! Sheâs the one who caused turmoil in your house! Hahaha!!!â
Mr. Olsen was gasping for breath.
His wife also clenched her fists tightly.
Both of them turned their gaze to âKeeraââŠ
They knew it wasnât right to blame âKeeraâ, but Susanâs words still stung.
They knew that the person in charge of the family was Uncle Olsen. Uncle Olsen never had children, and when choosing an heir, the family also went through some turmoil.
Ultimately, Uncle Olsen took Ellis in his arms to raise him as the heir to placate the situation.
If Ellis also had no descendants, they didnât dare to imagine the consequences!
But at that moment, Keira suddenly said, âWho says Ellis wonât have children?â
