Chapter 222: He Could Not Defeat His Mother

Hilla held onto Bruce tightly in pain and gasped from time to time because of the pain in the belly. Her forehead was covered with sweat quickly.

“It … it really hurts.”

Hilla sniffled with the grievance. And then Bruce was startled. Hilla clasped the quilt and subconsciously curled up.

Bruce was stunned. He had just…how did he… what did he do?

However, he reacted faster than Hilla. Bruce quickly got up and put on his clothes.

Hilla felt that blood was still flowing from her womb, and she felt more unwell.

When Bruce came over to hold her, Hilla was instantly nervous.

She clutched his sleeve with a pale face and asked, “What are you doing?”

“Let’s go to the hospital.”

“What if…it is just…” the menstruation?

Bruce cast a cold glance at her and then said with pity, “When you start menstruating, will you bleed so much, or will it hurt like this?”

Hilla’s lips trembled. And when she found that she was wrapped in a blanket, she felt both shy and unwell.

She couldn’t get up or change her clothes on her own now, so she could only obediently lean against his shoulder.

At the Central Hospital of River City!

Orlenna hurriedly rushed to the VIP ward. The old maid beside her looked at her carefully and warned, “Mrs. Anderson, please be careful. Mrs. Anderson…”

Orlenna was supported by the old maid, but then she directly threw her hands off and said, “What are you afraid of? I’m not pregnant.”

At the thought of Hilla in the ward, Orlenna’s eyes lit up. Therefore, she pushed open the door and said excitedly, “Hilla, I’m coming. Does your belly still hurt? What did the doctor say? Is my grandson fine?”

Orlenna directly pulled Bruce away from the bed, sat down beside Hilla, and then looked at Hilla’s belly with concern.

When Orlenna received the news, she sat up from the bed in the beauty parlor so quickly that the three beauticians could not stop her. Whoever hindered her from seeing her grandson was her enemy.

“Hilla, are you hungry? I asked the chef to make soup. They will send it to you in a while. What else would you like?”

Hilla was surprised by Orlenna’s attentiveness to her.

The doctor’s words were still lingering in Hilla’s mind, so she subconsciously looked at Orlenna and whispered, “Mother, am…am I pregnant?”

When the doctor told her that, Hilla thought she must be dreaming. Moreover, she was so happy about this dream that she even did not want to wake up.

Orlenna nodded vigorously as if she didn’t do that, her grandson was not real.

Horton looked at Bruce sympathetically, patted his shoulder, and said, “Bruce, take care!”

Bruce stared at Horton, smirked, and thought, “You envy me of getting married, and I’ll have a baby!”

Horton was completely baffled by his strange stare. His eyes flashed as he thought, “Bruce is probably going crazy.”

“Horton, is Hilla okay? How long will she stay in the hospital? When can she go home?”

Orlenna protected the entire bed by herself. She took Hilla in her arms, so the old maid laughed.

“Mrs. Anderson finally fulfilled her ambition to be a grandmother. She is so happy.” The maid thought.

“Hilla was just a little more than a month pregnant. Because there were signs of a miscarriage earlier and she bled this time, I suggest staying in the hospital for two or three days. Don’t worry. The head of the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics has examined Hilla carefully. Take good care of her, and then for some time…it is forbidden to have intense sex like this time. In a few months, you can have grandchildren.”

It was rare for Horton to explain so clearly, and it was clear that Bruce became awkward.

Hilla also pulled at the quilt to cover her face because it was too embarrassing.

She had been sent to the hospital for bleeding when she was having sex with Bruce.

She still remembered the way that the head of the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics had looked at Bruce just now. When she saw Orlenna’s expression, she felt that it was much scarier.

After Orlenna heard Horton’s words, her high-maintenance face suddenly clouded over.

Orlenna was usually gentle, dignified, and kind, but she cast Bruce a cold glance.

Bruce was frowning because of Horton’s unpleasant words, and he did not expect that Orlenna would rush over and slap him on the shoulder.

“Bruce, what are you thinking?”

Bruce was stunned and thought, “What did I do?”

Orlenna said angrily, “You almost killed my grandson. Listen, you are used to creating the next generation. If something happened to my grandson, don’t blame me for kicking you out.”

Bruce frowned and whispered, “Mom, the baby is my child.”

Bruce still did not forget to remind Orlenna that the child in Hilla’s belly was closer to him.

However, Orlenna did not care but rolled her eyes and sneered. Anyway, when she had a grandson, Bruce was no longer in use to her!

Orlenna held Hilla’s hand and there was definite happiness on her face. Moreover, she stared at Hilla’s belly gently as if she was afraid that it would frighten the child in Hilla’s belly.

“Tomorrow, I’ll go to the cemetery and tell them the good news.”

Orlenna seemed to think of something and quickly waved, “No. You are still in the hospital, so I need to take care of you. I will go after you are in stable condition.”

Their ancestors have been dead for so long, so she didn’t need to rush to tell them the news. What was more, she needed to take care of the child in Hilla’s belly.

Orlenna smiled at Hilla again, causing Hilla to feel nervous.

Although Orlenna used to treat Hilla well, the way she looked at Hilla today always gave Hilla the creeps.

Hilla peeped at Bruce and whispered, “Mother, I’m fine now. I’m pleased to see you. The doctor also said that I’m fine as long as I can have a good rest.”

“Yes, you have to have a good rest now. This is your first child. Remember not to get out of bed before you are in stable condition. The soup should be almost ready. Sleep for a while and drink it after you wake up.”

Orlenna pressed Hilla down to the bed and tucked her in.

Hilla looked at Orlenna and said, “Mother, you should also go back to rest.”

“No. I have decided to stay with you in the hospital these days.”

Hilla and Bruce thought, “Well, I can’t have a private moment from now on.”

…

Seeing that Orlenna was serious, Hilla said hurriedly, “Bruce is here. It’s fine. The doctor said that I just need to stay here for a few days. I’ll be home soon.”

Hilla said with tact. She could not hurt Orlenna.

She would feel a little uncomfortable if Orlenna stayed here. Although she had not yet recovered from her pregnancy and was unwilling to confirm she was conceiving a baby.

She had been looking forward to having a baby. However, seeing Orlenna was happy, she couldn’t believe it. She was afraid that it was a dream.

Would this dream disappear if she woke up?

Hilla pinched herself under the quilt. She felt pain. It was not a dream. She was indeed pregnant. She thought it was her period and almost killed her baby.

She was a careless mother. She should have felt that something was wrong with her body. She became fond of sleeping and eating. Moreover, she became pickier about food and was sensitive to smell.

It happened when Halle was pregnant, but Hilla did not take it to heart.

She looked at Bruce and smiled as thinking their baby might be very similar to him.

“Deal.”

Orlenna words made Hilla regain her mind. She blinked her eyes and felt confused.

What was the deal?

Hilla looked up at Bruce, while Bruce was looking at her with a clouded face.

Hilla was astonished. What had she done? Why was he looking at her like this? She felt wronged.

“Bruce, why are you staring at Hilla? How dare you?”

Orlenna cast a cold glance at Bruce. She didn’t show any gentleness to him.

She was going to have a grandson, so her son became unimportant.

Bruce turned to look at Orlenna and said, “Mom, Hilla will be uncomfortable if you stay here.”

“Why? Didn’t she nod with a smile just now? I think she feels uncomfortable because you are here.”

Bruce became an eyesore to Orlenna now. He almost killed her grandson. How dare he want to stay here! He was dreaming.

Hilla was thinking when she nodded just now.

Orlenna didn’t allow Bruce to stay with Hilla. Besides, there was something in

Bruce’s company. In the end, Bruce was dragged out of the ward by Horton with a long face.

“Bruce, you are too young to defeat your mother.”

In the secretary area of the Jorgansen Group in Far City.

When Margaret received Orlenna’s call, she immediately jumped up from the chair excitedly.

“Mom, is it true? Hilla is pregnant. I’m going to have a nephew, right?”

The day finally came. She would no longer be the youngest one in the Anderson family. She could seek pleasure from the baby.

“Your son is not so useless.”

“I mean, Bruce is a capable man.”

Two years had passed since Hilla and Bruce got married. Bruce was quite efficient.

However, these were not important. The most important thing was that Orlenna said she would give Margaret money.

The surrounding secretaries and assistants turned to look at Margaret. Seeing she was excited, they also smiled.

It was indeed an exciting thing that a new life would arrive.

“I’ll go back immediately. Don’t worry, I’ll bring back everything you want and they must be the best.”

As soon as Margaret hung up the phone, she received the transfer message from the bank. Ms. Orlenna was indeed excited to have a grandson. She transferred 800 thousand dollars to Margaret.

800 thousand dollars. Margaret felt so happy that she was about to float.

After more than a year of living in Far City, she finally saw happiness. In the future, she would no longer need to save money.

Margaret looked at her phone and let out a low but happy laugh. The secretaries and assistants around her felt scary.

“It is your sister-in-law that is pregnant, not you. Why are you so happy?”

“Don’t tell me you will have a bonus.”

Margaret became proud, “The baby is the next generation of our family. Our Anderson family has a successor. Shouldn’t I be happy?”

The secretaries and assistants nodded in agreement.

Margaret thought, “I’ve searched on the Internet. The expenses of a child would occupy the most important part of a family. As long as I capture my nephew, I will have money.

“My dear nephew, I’m here to hug you.”

Margaret was so excited and did not notice anything strange around her. It was not until someone pulled her skirt that she came back to her senses. She pulled her wrinkled dress and complained, “Be careful. It’s very expensive.”

She had managed to extort it from Julian.

Julian was stingy. She liked the bareback wide-chested short skirt. But he refused to buy it for her because it was expensive.

The capitalists were always stingy.

“Mr. Jorgansen.”

The assistant secretly winked at Margaret. She looked up and saw the man who had just returned from a meeting not far away. He was dressed in black and had no expression. His cold gaze fell on her.

Margaret felt a bit guilty, but she quickly thought of something. She straightened her body and calmly walked towards him. She even smiled grimly at Julian.

“He is an evil and stingy capitalist. He is a sinister and cunning home wrecker.

“Look, hearing Hilla is pregnant, he puts a long face. Just bear with it. You will suffer later.

“Bruce is capable. The Anderson family will have a successor. You have no chance at all.”

As the daughter of the Anderson family, she would hold her head high and not serve him from now on.

“Mr. Jorgansen, I have something to talk to you about.”

Julian was surprised by her provocative look just now. Now she looked at him and smiled happily.

He turned around and said, “Come in.”

Margaret walked briskly and followed behind Julian. She entered the office with great joy.

Julian took off his suit jacket, unbuttoned his sleeves, and leaned against the chair. “What’s the matter?”

He asked coldly. Because of the long meeting, his voice became hoarse.

Margaret secretly rolled her eyes and sneered in her heart.

“You’d better always pretend to be calm. You must be heartbroken right now. You must be in so much pain that you want to die. You control your feelings in from of me. The woman you love is pregnant but it’s not your baby. Is it an exciting thing for you?”
