Chapter 181: Will There Be More Children

They paused at this point.

Lying in the hospital bed, I clearly felt a gaze land on me. I kept my eyes tightly shut, pretending to still be fast asleep.

After confirming I hadn't woken up, they continued their chat.

"It's just such a shame about Ms. Green's baby."

"I know, right? This was the Lopez family's child. You know what this baby meant to the Lopez family - it was their heir."

"Clara is so heartbroken. If this hadn't happened, in just a few more months, Clara would have been able to see her great-grandson."

...

Their conversation revealed a truth to me.

My child—had something happened to it?

I remembered that when I passed out, my stomach had been in excruciating pain.

Could that have been a sign of a miscarriage?

Huge doubts flooded my mind. I reached out, instinctively touching my lower abdomen, but I couldn't feel any trace of the baby's presence anymore.

Tears I couldn't hold back fell from the corners of my eyes.

Those two people kept talking.

"Did you hear? Ms. Gonzalez used dirty tricks to be with Andrew. She drugged Andrew with an aphrodisiac and lured him to her room."

The other person chimed in, "You don't know—there's no way Nancy could have pulled this off by herself. This whole thing was Thea's plan."

"Thea is really something. For the Lopez family's money, she came up with this scheme—sending her own daughter to another man's bed. She really didn't hold back."

"Tell me about it. I bet Mr. Gonzalez was involved too. Mr. Gonzalez is just unbelievable. Ms. Green is also his biological daughter. No matter how desperate he is for money, how could he make one daughter sleep with his other daughter's husband?"

"Exactly. We just don't know if Andrew and Nancy actually had sex or not."

...

As these two chatted away, they revealed everything I didn't know.

Lying in the hospital bed, I suddenly remembered what had happened yesterday.

I remembered the TV screen showing Andrew and Nancy's bodies tangled together.

Did they actually have sex or not?

Countless questions flooded my mind. My thoughts were a complete mess.

The two of them kept chatting non-stop.

"Poor Ms. Green, lying in a hospital bed now, unable to do anything. Her background wasn't great to begin with, and nobody thought she was good enough to be Mrs. Lopez."

"Now that she's lost the baby, the Lopez family will probably kick her out."

"After all, wealthy families care most about continuing the bloodline."

The two got more and more excited as they talked, completely unaware that I, lying in the bed, was already crying my eyes out.

The enormous pain of losing my child was unbearable. I gripped the bedsheet beneath me with my hands until my knuckles turned white.

I held it in, trying to get more useful information from their conversation.

Just then, the door was pushed open. Andrew's commanding and cold voice rang out in the room.

He snapped at the two women, "What are you two gossiping about?"

"Mr. Lopez."

The two quickly straightened up, heads lowered, not daring to say much more.

Andrew's tone was harsh. He reminded them, "I asked you to come here to take care of Jane, not to gossip."

"You talk too much. Go see Kurt for your pay in a bit. You don't need to come work for the Lopez family anymore."

Andrew, his face dark, fired the two chatty women without mercy.

They never imagined that just gossiping a bit would cost them their jobs.

After Andrew sent them away, he came to my bedside. When he saw the tears at the corners of my eyes, he bent down and gripped my hand tightly.

"Jane, I know you're awake."

"Since you're awake, open your eyes and look at me."

Andrew brought my hand to his lips. I could feel the warmth of his breath on my hand.

I opened my eyes and tried to pull my hand back from Andrew's, but he held it so tightly I couldn't move it at all.

"Andrew, our baby is gone, isn't it?"

I held back the tears that were about to pour out and asked Andrew.

Andrew didn't answer my question directly. He crouched down and pulled my whole body into his arms.

He comforted me, "Jane, it's okay. We're still young. We'll have children in the future."

Andrew's comfort confirmed the fact - my baby was really gone. The grief hit me again, and my tears burst out like a broken dam.

Andrew held my body tightly. My tears soaked into his collar. My constantly trembling body let him feel my helplessness.

Yes, this baby I was carrying had been at risk from the moment I conceived.

No matter how strong it was, how could it survive?

Seeing my emotions completely out of control, Andrew held me and kept apologizing.

He said to me, "Jane, I'm sorry. I was careless. I didn't protect you or our baby."

"I should have been more prepared. I didn't expect the Gonzalez family to be so evil."

"Jane, I'm sorry."

Andrew held me, apologizing over and over. From his tone, I could tell that he was also very sad right now.

The child I lost was his child too.

"Don't worry, I'll make those people from the Gonzalez family who hurt you pay the price they deserve."

"Jane, don't be afraid. I'm here."

...

Andrew's comfort didn't help at all. Right now, my hatred for the Gonzalez family had reached its peak.

Andrew went over everything that happened and slowly pieced together the truth.

It turned out that because the Gonzalez family's cash flow had broken down, their business had fallen into a state where it couldn't operate. Melissa pressured Thomas to save the Gonzalez family business as soon as possible.

But Thomas had no talent for business. He simply couldn't handle such enormous pressure.

That's when Thea gave him an idea - she suggested having Nancy drug Andrew with an aphrodisiac and seduce him into having sex, planning to use a sex video to get a lifeline from Andrew.

So that day.
