Chapter 109 – A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

“How annoying is this fool, you ask? He pretends to be as emotionless as an ice cube, but he’s actually a lame guy with extremely poor taste. He knows that the other woman is rotten to the core, but he still indulges her unconditionally. Don’t you think he’s blind? I’m really ashamed of the fact that I once liked a person like that…”

Halston: “…”

He’s now even more suspicious that she knew it was him and she’s mocking him!

Halston was about to reply something when Flossie sent another message.

“But it’s strange. Obviously, I don’t like him anymore, but why do I still feel sad? Does love have a residual effect?”

Halston stared at the chat for a long time.

A trace of pain inexplicably emerged from the depth of his heart.

Perhaps he was indeed too cruel in the way he handled the matter with Jessanna, but he had no choice.

Jessanna was the woman the elder brother he respected the most asked him to take care of before his brother’s death. The child in Jessanna’s belly was the only offspring his brother left behind.

His brother sacrificed his life to save him.

He must keep his promise and take care of Jessanna and her child no matter what.

If he had to choose a person to disappoint, that person could only be Flossie or, more precisely, it could only be himself!

Halston felt like he had a lot to say to Flossie, but in the end, he did not say a word.

He looked out the French window at the full moon that shined like jade, took a picture of it, sent it to Flossie, then put away his phone.

When Flossie saw the picture of the moon, it warmed her heart for some reason, even though there was no word attached to the picture.

“The moon is beautiful, isn’t it? I hope he sees it too.”

After sending that message, she put away her phone too. Her sense of loneliness had subsided a bit. She closed her eyes and easily fell asleep.

“The moon is beautiful, isn’t it?” is a famous phrase by Japanese author Sōseki Natsume, usually used to express “I love you” indirectly!

Flossie kept this little secret hidden in the deepest part of her heart and would never let anyone else know about it!

In the Obstetrics and Gynecology ward at the hospital.

Jessanna was lying on a hospital bed, looking very anxious.

There were sufficient evidence and witnesses to charge her with stealing. She was currently on bail, pending trial. There were police officers outside the door watching over her.

In other words, if Flossie refused to drop the case, Jessanna would go to jail for at least three years.

Although she did not have to stay in jail during the pregnancy and breastfeeding period, she would be after that.

More importantly, once she was convicted of a criminal offense, her life would be completely ruined!

If she had known that Flossie was such a tough opponent, she would have kept low and stayed far away from Flossie!

Jessanna had tried calling Halston many times, but he did not answer any of her calls. It was obvious that he did not want to talk to her. She did not know if he would even save her.

She had really made a mess of things this time!

At that moment, her attending physician came in. He closed the door behind him and looked at her with a sad expression.

“Miss Ximene, your examination results are out. The situation is a bit complicated. I need to have a word with you.”

“What’s the matter? Is something wrong with my baby?”

“There is indeed a problem. Maybe we should wait for Mr. Guajardo and discuss a solution together?”

Jessanna frowned and pondered for a few seconds, then said, “It’s fine. You can tell me first. After all, I’m the one bearing the child. I can handle any issues and make my own decisions.”

“Alright then!”

The doctor sighed and handed the newly issued examination report to Jessanna, saying. “Miss Ximene, we’ve detected a genetic defect in your baby. If you give birth to it, it’ll most likely have a mental disability, so we suggest…”

“What do you mean, mental disability?”

Jessanna was very emotional. She said, “There’s no way! My baby has always been doing fine. The baby’s parents are also very normal. How can it suddenly become mentally disabled? You must have made a mistake!”

“Calm down, Miss Ximene…”

The doctor consoled Jessanna and explained, “Because it’s a genetic defect, it’s impossible to detect it in the early stage of pregnancy. You’re now in the second trimester of your pregnancy, so your fetus has developed more, and that has revealed many hidden conditions. We recommend performing an abortion as soon as possible before you reach the third trimester of pregnancy. That’s the safest option for you!”

“No!”

Jessanna exclaimed, “I won’t let anyone touch my child. It carries the Guajardo blood. If you dare to touch it, you’ll be messing with the Guajardo family. Can you bear the consequences?”

The baby was her last hope. If she lost the baby, it would be all over for her.

But to be honest, she was actually unsure if the baby’s biological father was Tristan Guajardo.

Jessanna vaguely remembered that she had not only had sex with Tristan that day. She had gone to a bar in the evening and got drunk with a bunch of friends. She could not remember clearly whether she had sex afterwards.

“Miss Ximene, aborting the baby now is the best solution because the baby has a genetic defect and may stop developing altogether in the later stages of pregnancy – in other words, it’ll be a stillborn. That will be very harmful to your health!*

Upon hearing the doctor’s explanation, Jessanna’s face turned deathly pale. She was in despair.

“You… are you trying to scare me?”

“I’m not.”

The doctor looked sympathetically at Jessanna. This kind of thing was an extremely painful experience for any mother to go. through. “Maybe we should ask Mr. Guajardo to come over and hear what he thinks.”

“No, you can’t call him over!”

Jessanna grabbed the doctor’s hand and pleaded in tears, “Doctor, I beg you. Halston loves the baby very much and looks forward to having a child. You can’t tell him about this. I want to take the risk and give birth to the baby anyway. Even if the baby has a mental disability, I think the Guajardo family will still accept the baby and Halston will still be happy!”

“This is not a matter of taking the risk or not. It’s that, nine times out of ten, the baby might not even live until the third trimester of pregnancy. In just a month or two, it’ll stop developing…”

“Say no more, doctor, I’ve made my decision. If it successfully gets born, it’s a miracle. If it doesn’t, it’s an accident.” 1

Jessanna already had a solution in mind. She warned the doctor, “You better not tell anyone else about this. If news get out that the

Guajardo family’s baby is mentally disabled, your career, and maybe even this hospital, will suffer!”

The doctor suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He gulped and said, “I understand, Miss Ximene. I should have been more thoughtful. Don’t worry, the secret is safe with me!”

After the doctor left. Jessanna rubbed her belly, angry and disappointed. She said, “You should have done better. God gave you the chance to be born into the Guajardo family, but you actually have a genetic defect… You’re gonna stop developing anyway, so don’t blame me for being cruel!”

What the doctor meant was obvious. Regardless of whether the baby was aborted or not, it would not survive.

In that case, she would much rather let the baby die in a miscarriage so that she would not be held responsible.

As for how the miscarriage would happen…

Jessanna’s eyes became poisonous. Didn’t that bitch Flossie despise her? In that case, it’s completely possible for Flossie to “lose control of her emotions” and kill her baby.

When that happened. Halston would definitely make the person who killed his dead brother’s child pay. Jessanna would not even have to do anything else and Flossie would die a miserable death.
