Chapter 475
"You must be Jordan, right?" Flora could tell the impatience in the other person's tone and asked kindly.
Jordan paused for a moment, then said, "Yes, it's me. Why do you have Emily's phone?"
"I am Emily's mother." Flora wiped away a tear. "Emily is in a bit of trouble now and can't talk to you. She asked me to tell you something. She is pregnant now, the baby is a month and a half old, and you are the biological father of the child."
"What?!" Jordan was stunned.
He thought he had misheard and asked slowly, "Are you saying that Emily is pregnant with my child?"
"Yes, she is currently lying in the hospital. The prenatal report has come out, and the child in her belly is indeed yours. What do you plan to do?" Flora asked.
Jordan's mind was buzzing.
He turned around and looked at his wife sitting in the living room.
Naturally, his wife didn't look as good as Emily, or he wouldn't have had an affair within the marriage.
They had been married for four years, and his wife had not been able to conceive.
They had gone to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctors said there were no problems with either of them. However, one time, he overheard his mother-in-law and wife talking, and it turned out that his wife's body couldn't bear children. But she hid this from him because she was afraid he would mind.
His wife's family conditions were much better than his.
In these four years of marriage, he had fully experienced what it meant to be in a higher social class. The more glamorous it was, the more he wanted a child of his own.
But his wife couldn't give him a child. In the end, they would probably have to adopt a child from an orphanage.
"Jordan, if you don't want this child, I will ask Emily to have an abortion." Flora's words made Jordan speak without hesitation, "No, I want this child, I do!"
He could secretly raise the child in Watertown. In any case, he must have a child of his own!
After hanging up the phone, Jordan walked back to the living room and sighed. "Darling, I might have to go on a business trip to Watertown again."
"It's okay, you work hard, and I will take care of things at home." The young woman smiled gently. She was about to say something more when Jordan's phone vibrated again.
This time it was still a number from Watertown. He felt a bit nervous but remained calm on the surface. "I'll take this call."
He walked to the balcony and answered the phone. When he heard the voice on the other end, his eyes widened little by little.
Emily spent the night in the hospital.
Although the smell of disinfectant in the hospital was not pleasant, it was much better than in the detention center.
She lay on the soft hospital bed, her eyes full of hope for the future. She gently touched her belly and whispered, "Baby, you came at the right time. You are mommy's precious. You must be good and be born safely."
At that moment, someone suddenly entered the ward.
Two female police officers directly blocked the person's path and coldly asked, "Who are you, and what is your relationship with the prisoner?"
Jordan adjusted his hat and said, "I am Emily's boyfriend, and the child in her belly is mine. I want to see her."
The female officers consulted Emily's opinion before allowing Jordan to enter the ward.
Emily's face was full of disbelief.
Just last night, she had her parents pass the message to Jordan, and she didn't expect this man to show up today.
She had thought their relationship was over, but Jordan had just told the female officers at the door that he was her boyfriend.
It seemed that Jordan cared a lot about the child in her belly, so she might have a chance to get out of the detention center.
