The words hit Jessica like a brick , freezing her in place . She gripped the phone tightly , her voice shaky as she asked , “ Dr. Kinsman , what are you talking about ? ”
“ Both Lideran and Cerrosbi are herbs that prevent miscarriage . ”
Prevent miscarriage ?
Wendy was using those ? Was she pregnant ?
Jessica’s mind went blank . She had never even considered the possibility of Wendy being pregnant . She knew Wendy and Stanley had slept together , but she was certain he wasn’t fond of children . He didn’t seem like the kind of person who would let something like this happen – not with the heir to the Hawk family at stake .
But … Wendy was pregnant .
Jessica staggered back a few steps , barely catching herself against the wall as she tried to steady her breathing . Was the child Stanley’s ?
Wait , no … It could also be Samuel’s .
But a woman’s intuition is often sharp , and Jessica had a gut feeling that the child was Stanley’s .
What was she supposed to do now ?
The panic hit her hard .
Jessica rushed back to her house as quickly as she could .
Lilian immediately noticed her pale complexion and sat beside her , concern flooding her voice . “ Are you okay ? Your hands are freezing ! ”
Lilian took Jessica’s hands , only to feel the utter lack of warmth .
“ Mom … I have bad news . ”
“ What’s going on ? Didn’t you make up with Mr. Hawk ? He’s already made his choice , hasn’t he ? ”
Jessica gripped Lilian’s hands even more tightly . “ Wendy’s pregnant … She’s pregnant with Stanley’s child ! ”
Lilian’s face went pale , her voice rising in shock . “ What ? Wendy’s pregnant ? Are you sure ? How could Wendy be pregnant with Mr. Hawk’s child ? ”
Lilian couldn’t believe it .
“ I’m very sure Wendy’s pregnant . What am I supposed to do ? If Stanley finds out , will he keep the baby ? Even though Stanley doesn’t like kids , this is his first one ! He’s going to be a father ! ”
Stanley was going to be a father .

Lilian’s expression turned serious . She knew just how important a first child was to a man . Even if Stanley didn’t want the child , his feelings for Wendy would likely change ,
Sometimes , a man’s guilt could turn into something else entirely . A smart woman could hold onto that guilt and use it for a lifetime .
Lilian quickly steadied herself before assuring Jessica , “ Calin down . Don’t panic . ”
“ How can I stay calm ? I just stole the crystal pendant from Wendy to keep Stanley at bay , and now she’s pregnant . I don’t want to lose everything I have – I can’t lose him ! ”
Lilian grabbed Jessica’s shoulders firmly . “ Does anyone else know about her pregnancy ? ”
Jessica shook her head . “ I don’t think she’s told anyone . ”
Lilian’s eyes lit up with a plan . “ Don’t worry . The child in Wendy’s belly is Samuel’s ! ”
“ Do you believe in a woman’s intuition ? That child in Wendy’s belly … I’m sure it’s Stanley’s ! ”
“ No , the child in Wendy’s belly is Samuel’s . ”
Jessica blinked in confusion .
Lilian smirked and suddenly grinned . “ It doesn’t matter whose child is inside Wendy . As long as Mr. Hawk believes the child is Samuel’s , doesn’t that solve everything ? ”
Jessica’s eyes widened in realization , and a light seemed to shine in them . “ Mom , you’re brilliant ! ”
