Chapter 1336: You Are Expecting Twins
The case had finally come to an end. The damned were dead, and those who needed to be caught were captured.
The Gilliam family was uprooted; Declan was dead, Libby was arrested, and Sam was temporarily missing. The Gilliam family, leaderless, scattered like monkeys from a fallen tree.
Thus, Cheyenne and Kelvin’s mission in Taswya was a complete success. Master Glenn found his beloved daughter. The ancient book “The Art of Magic,” entangled between two generations, was finally united and complete.
Later, Cheyenne took it back to Chulae and hid it deep in her study.
In the hospital, when Pearl woke up again, it felt like a lifetime had passed. She stared at the ceiling for a long time, lost in a daze. She felt an unprecedented sense of relief. Previously, she didn’t even dare to breathe too hard, but now she noticed something different about her body.
Her breathing was smoother; her heart beat steadily. One beat, two beats… This was how a healthy heart should feel. Pearl felt amazed and pressed her hand against her left chest through her clothes.
Her pale lips parted slightly as she murmured, “Am I… still alive?”
Just as she was feeling unfamiliar and confused about everything around her, a familiar figure quickly approached from the door. It was Cheyenne.
Cheyenne wore a white coat, with one hand in her pocket and the other held by a man. Seeing Pearl awake, Cheyenne immediately let go of the man’s hand and quickened her pace.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Kelvin’s face changed as he looked at his empty palm, showing dissatisfaction. Cheyenne seemed overly concerned about Miss Gilliam. Hmph!
“Miss Pearl, it’s wonderful that you’re awake. I was worried you wouldn’t adapt to the Golden Silkworm Magic.”
Three days had passed since the surgery, and today was the last day. If Pearl hadn’t woken up, it would have meant that the Golden Silkworm Magic couldn’t save her failing heart, and Cheyenne would have had to prepare for her funeral.
Fortunately, heaven was merciful. At the last moment… she woke up!
Hearing Cheyenne’s joyful voice, Pearl was initially stunned. When she came to her senses, she couldn’t help but let her emotions overflow and threw herself into Cheyenne’s arms.
“Cheyenne, I no longer have a father,” she cried with a thick sobbing tone, showing all her grievances, fears, and reluctance in front of Cheyenne.
Cheyenne didn’t avoid her and let her hold on. Honestly, she felt quite sympathetic towards this girl who had lost so much in one day.
Gently patting her head, Cheyenne’s long voice sounded above her. “Don’t cry. At least you’re not fighting alone; you still have your child.”
“I never told you this, but my last name isn’t Lawrence; it’s Lucas. My mother died when I was born, and my adoptive mother wanted to destroy me.”
From discovering her adoptive mother’s plot at seven to marrying herself off at eighteen, her life had been far more challenging than Pearl’s.
But she never gave up and kept moving forward with determination, no matter how big the obstacles were.
“I can proudly say that everything I have today is because I worked for it step by step.”
“If I can do it, I believe you can too!”
As Cheyenne used her own experience to comfort Pearl, Kelvin listened quietly beside them. He was deeply moved.
Indeed. Throughout this journey, his Cheyenne had been the most wronged and had endured the most.
From now on, he would only love her more and never let her suffer any harm!
After hearing Cheyenne’s story, Pearl stopped crying. She looked at Cheyenne with admiration, her eyes shining like a little fan girl.
“Cheyenne, you’re so strong. But can I… can I do it?”
Pearl lowered her head in self-doubt. She had lived a life of luxury under her father’s protection since childhood and had never earned a penny or cooked a meal for herself.
Cheyenne had walked the path of a strong heroine, while she felt like a useless person.
She truly lacked confidence.
Cheyenne glanced at her belly and smiled. “A woman becomes strong for her child.”
Mentioning the child finally triggered Pearl’s slow mind to remember her unborn baby. Nervously grabbing Cheyenne’s hand, she asked, “Cheyenne, is my baby okay?”
Cheyenne internally sighed: She finally remembered. If she hadn’t asked soon, I would have burst from holding it in.
“Don’t worry. I checked your body while you were unconscious. They are perfectly fine.”
“They?”
Noticing the implication in the word, Pearl looked at her belly with a shocked expression.
Cheyenne chuckled. “Silly girl, you’re expecting twins!”
“What? Twins!”
Pearl was almost scared silly by this “surprise.” Just three months ago, she was still like a blooming peony flower. Now she was about to become the mother of two children?
“Why are you so shocked? Twins are great! You only have to go through pregnancy once to get two babies. You know I’m envious of you.”
Standing behind her with a serious expression, Kelvin quietly approached and pinched Cheyenne’s hand.
“If Cheyenne likes it so much, let’s have twins too.”
Tonight they would work hard!
Cheyenne pushed him away with a blush still lingering on her face. “Get away! You can’t just decide to have twins.”
That depends on luck!
Though rejected by his wife, Mr. Foley didn’t give up.
He thought: If Sam can do it, why can’t I? I want twins too!
Feeling like she had been force-fed dog food for no reason, Pearl thought she was really pitiful. She was still a patient! Could they not be so cruel?
Seeing Cheyenne and Kelvin’s loving interaction made her more envious… and a bit sad.
Because it reminded her of Sam.
The man she loved and hated.
After hesitating for a long time, Pearl finally asked the question that had been brewing in her heart for so long.
“Cheyenne, tell me… where is he?”
Everyone knew who she meant by “he.”
Regarding Sam’s whereabouts, Cheyenne sighed deeply. For Pearl’s health, she didn’t want them to meet just yet.
If Sam agitated Pearl again and caused complications with her pregnancy, it would be disastrous.
“Do you still love him?”
Cheyenne’s question was one Pearl had pondered countless times during her coma.
“I can’t lie to my heart. I still love him and resent him. But I also resent my father. With all this hate, I don’t know what to do.”
“So I want to see him one last time. Cheyenne, please tell me where Sam is.”
“Has he left or…”
Died?
