Chapter 1285 I Want a Sister
Eugene immediately clapped a hand over Olivia's lips. "Mind your tongue. The baby might
hear you!"
At that, he hurriedly caressed her stomach. "Baby, Daddy doesn't hate you. In fact, Daddy
can't wait to meet you!"
Upon seeing his hasty denial, Olivia let out a chortle. "He's not quite a child at the
moment; at most, he's just a fetus. Do you have to take things so seriously?"
Eugene shot her a glare before replying solemnly, "All things happen for a reason. Our
baby's timely arrival shows that he came to help us because he sensed we were in
trouble, so don't say anything that could hurt him."
Olivia glowered at him in return. Why was he blaming her now?
"I wasn't the one who was unhappy earlier."
Eugene explained, "I wasn't unhappy. I just didn't think that it would be this much trouble,
and I wasn't prepared yet. This is our child, so I'll always welcome him with open arms no
matter when."
Olivia laughed at his reply. However, the next moment, she felt a lump form in her throat,

Seeing that, Eugene hurriedly pulled her into his embrace to wipe her tears away. "Why
are you crying again? Weren't you fine earlier?"
Olivia blinked furiously, forcing her tears back. "I just got a little touched by what you said.
Our baby really is everything we asked for."
Eugene rubbed her belly as he replied, "Yeah. Baby, you have to behave."
Olivia couldn't help but let out another laugh. "Don't you think that you're quite silly?"
"No, I'm quite happy."

Upon returning to the clinic, Olivia discovered that the news of her pregnancy had spread
to everyone. At first, she was planning to give them a surprise, but Hector was unable to
hold himself back from using this matter to please Ellen, and once the latter found out, so
did the rest of the manor.
It was clear to everyone that the occasion was not only joyful because they were about to
welcome a new life, but also because it shone a ray of hope for saving Blake. Although he
couldn't proceed with his surgery, with this child, the operation would only be delayed for
a few more months.
Upon seeing their return, Ellen immediately welcomed them with a hopeful glint in her
eyes. "Olivia, Hector told me that you're pregnant."
"Yes, I'm at six weeks," Olivia replied.
Ellen's eyes immediately brimmed with tears at her words, and she bobbed her head
profusely. "That's great! This child came at the right time. We weren't by your side when
you had the other children, but I'll definitely take good care of you this time so that you
won't get hurt anymore."
The corners of Olivia's lips twitched. It seemed like her future mother-in-law had
misunderstood that she had birthed the other three children as well.
"Isn't that a good thing, Mrs. Nolan?"
"Yes, it is. I'm just too happy."
"Come and have a seat, quickly. Don't tire yourself out," Ellen urged, stepping forward to
support her.
Dumbfounded, Olivia hurriedly refused, "You don't have to be so cautious, Mrs. Nolan. The
baby is still little."

have to be cautious. The first three months are the riskiest."
All of a sudden, her earlier conversation with Eugene emerged in Olivia's mind, and she
glanced at him meaningfully, only to meet his eyes. She pursed her lips with a smile,
remaining silent.
Eugene shot her a look, mouthing, 'Stop gloating.'
Just then, Ellen suggested, "I'll make something for you two to eat. Eugene, take care of
Olivia."
"I'll come with you," Hector stated.
After they left, the children circled around Olivia.
Carter piped up, "Mommy, is there a baby in your stomach?"
Blake implored curiously, "Grandpa said that the baby can help me get better, Mommy."
Olivia answered, "That's right."
North asked, "Mommy, is the baby in your stomach a boy or a girl?"
"I don't know yet."
Terry slowly raised a hand. "I want a sister."
As soon as his words fell, he immediately received the approval of the Nolan Family, who
all agreed, "I want a sister too!"
