Chapter 472: The Woman with Isaac That Night
Lora bit her lip, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said softly, "The process for IVF is quite long. Wouldn't natural conception be more convenient?"
Mortimer glanced at her calmly, pretending not to hear her.
He got out of the car and had Alaric take Lora back, while he took a cab to the Radcliffe Group.
After arriving at the company, Mortimer dialed a trusted contact overseas.
"Mr. Radcliffe, do you have any instructions?" came the respectful voice of his confidant, Rex Scott, over the phone.
Mortimer ordered in a deep voice, "Have the medical team over there start working on the IVF procedure."
Rex replied, "Yes, I'll arrange it right away!"
Mortimer said, "Make sure everything goes perfectly. The baby must not have any accidents!"
Rex said, "Yes, I will keep a close watch on the medical team and ensure no mistakes are made!"
After giving a few more instructions, Mortimer hung up the phone.
He sat in his office chair, leaning back, staring blankly at the ceiling.
As he stared, he suddenly smiled. The smile was low but filled with joy.
"Nora, we're going to have a child. Are you happy?"
"You love children so much; you must be happy, right?"
"It's just a pity that our child can't come from your womb."
"But it doesn't matter. Our child will carry our blood, a combination of our genes, and that's enough."
His hand tapped the desk rhythmically, his smile deep but tinged with bitterness.
When Nora was injured and in a coma, he had some of her eggs retrieved while she was unconscious.
Even though Nora was in a coma, he had planned to have her hypnotized, marry her while she was unaware of anything.
But during that time, he was always uneasy.
So, he had a backup plan and had Nora's eggs retrieved.
If their wedding hit any unexpected bumps and they couldn't go through with it, at least he would still have a chance to have a child with Nora.
Mortimer slowly closed his eyes, his Adam's apple moving as he softly murmured Nora's name.
"Nora."
After a while, he composed himself, opened his eyes, got up from his chair, and left the company.
He drove alone to a villa he had left unused.
Now, someone was living in that villa.
It was Amara.
Since he and Amara had reached an agreement, he had lent her the villa to live in.
When Mortimer entered the villa, Amara was lounging on the sofa watching TV.
Seeing Mortimer, Amara immediately stood up, "You finally came to see me. When can I leave here? You've kept me in this villa for so long, I'm going crazy!"
Since returning from the cruise, Mortimer had made her stay here, not allowing her to leave.
There were bodyguards outside, and whenever she tried to go out, they would stop her.
She didn't have Mortimer's phone number and could only wait for him to contact her. She had no way to reach him.
She was extremely frustrated!
Mortimer said, "Keeping you here is to ensure everything goes smoothly."
Amara frowned, "I know it's all for the plan, but I'm really bored!"
Mortimer ignored her complaints and got straight to the point, "How's the situation?"
Amara immediately became excited, "I'm pregnant! When can I go out? I need to find Isaac and make him take responsibility!"
"I'm carrying his baby; he will definitely marry me!"
Mortimer looked at her indifferently, "Do you think Isaac will marry you just because you're pregnant?"
Amara said, "Of course, I'm carrying his baby!"
Mortimer sneered, "Do you think Isaac lacks people to have children for him? Do you think he cares about the baby in your womb?"
"Stop dreaming. If you go to him now, he'll only find ways to make the baby in your womb disappear, and possibly you as well."
Amara's eyes showed shock and fear, "How is that possible?"
Mortimer replied, "I know him better than you do. He's not the type to be controlled by someone just because of a baby."
Amara's face turned pale, and she collapsed back onto the sofa, "What should I do then?"
"If you know he won't compromise because of a child, why did you help me plot against him and get me pregnant with his baby? Are you playing with me?"
Mortimer explained, "I have my plans. You should focus on taking care of the baby and stay here obediently. Until I give you further instructions, you are not to tell anyone about your pregnancy with Isaac's baby."
"If you follow my arrangements, I will help you get everything you want."
Amara looked at the calm and composed Mortimer and suddenly found him terrifying.
She couldn't help but swallow and then nodded, trembling, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Just don't harm me."
She suddenly regretted it.
Was cooperating with Mortimer the right choice for a successful and wealthy future, or was it a deal with the devil, leading to her becoming a pawn in his schemes?
She didn't believe Mortimer was simply trying to help her get what she wanted.
He must have his own agenda.
Including her was just because she was useful to his plans.
Mortimer smiled, "Don't worry, I'm a good person. I won't harm you."
"Stay here and take care of the baby. Wait for my news and stop asking to go out."
"If you can't keep the baby, you'll never have another chance to get Isaac."
Because Amara kept asking to go out, the people here reported to him daily, which was why he came today to warn her.
Amara's eyes flashed with panic and unwillingness.
No, she had to get Isaac!
She liked Isaac!
And Isaac was her savior. She had to give birth to this baby for him, as a way to repay him.
"Okay, I won't make a fuss. I'll protect this baby. As long as you help me achieve my goal, I'll agree to any request you have in the future!" Amara promised seriously.
Mortimer left after spesking a few more words to her.
Amara sat alone on the sofa, reaching out to touch her still-flat abdomen.
"This is Isaac's and my baby. I will definitely give birth to this baby safely and give Isaac a healthy baby."
"Isaac, you will like it, right?"
"You're such a good person. I don't believe Mortimer. You can't be that cold-hearted. You can't not like your own baby."
Over a month ago, at the Maritime Commerce Convention, she boarded the cruise as a representative of the Hansen family.
Mortimer had drugged Isaac.
But in reality, nothing happened between her and Isaac that night.
Although Isaac was drugged and unconscious, he had no ability to have intercourse in that state.
Mortimer had only had Isaac's DNA collected and created a scene of sex in the room.
The baby in her womb was conceived through IVF after they disembarked and then implanted into her womb.
