Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

Chapter 991 It Was Likely That Her Child Would Be Deformed

"Dad, Mom, Sister, why are you so early?" Leia knew that Queenie had invited Bianca over. Although she was

unhappy about it, she did not show it. She had to behave with poise in front of the Hiltons.

Brody greeted them, "Uncle Jack and Aunt Queenie, good afternoon."

Jack saw the two but did not see the rest of the Hilton family. He put away his smile and turned serious. He handed

Bianca's phone back to her.

"Good afternoon." After greeting them back, Queenie glanced at Jack, stood up, and took Leia's hand. "How did the

check-up go?’

Leia paused, and her face quickly turned pale.

Upon seeing this, Queenie was concerned and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Leia shook her head, returned to normal, and said with a smile, "Mom, I'm just messing with you. The check-up

went well, there’s no problem." "Cheeky! You're going to be a mother but you're still so naughty. Sit down." Queenie

nodded at her and pulled the chair out for Leia.

Leia smiled and felt inexplicably guilty.

She had gone to the hospital for a Down's screening and color Doppler ultrasound. The results were not ideal. The

doctor told her that it was likely that her child would be deformed.

Brody happened to be buying water for her when she got the report, so he did not know about it. The doctor also

said that it was highly probable that the deformity was caused by the ineffective abortion pill.

The doctor advised her to go for further examinations. If the child had a problem, he told her that she would have

to immediately go for induced labor to avoid giving birth to a deformed baby.

Leia asked the doctor to keep it a secret. The doctor agreed on the basis of doctor-patient confidentiality, but he

repeatedly urged her to take the follow-up steps.

Brody helped her sit on the chair and said proudly, "The doctor said that our child is healthy. In a few months, I’ll

have a son as great as me!"

Leia smiled as she touched her belly. When she saw how excited Brody looked, she decided to give birth to the

child!

The Hilton family only agreed to have lunch because she was pregnant. If she aborted the baby, what leverage

would she have to compete with Bianca?

Leia knew how important this baby was, so she would never give it up.

Queenie sat down and was in a good mood when she heard that Leia's baby was healthy. Leia would move in with

Brody in two days. This lunch with the Hilton family was to discuss the wedding.

Brody took care of Leia well because of the baby. He was pouring tea for her and being mindful of her preferences

while looking at the menu.

Queenie was satisfied with how Brody treated Leia. Although his attitude toward her and Jack could be improved,

she was willing to turn a blind eye as long as he treated her well.

After a while, Tania Ridley walked into the private room while holding Julius Hilton's hand.

Brody saw his parents but not his grandmother, so he asked, "Mom, where's Grandma?"

When he called them, they told him that they would drive her here.

"Your grandmother isn’t feeling well, so she’s resting at home," Tania explained with an indifferent expression.

Grandma Hilton refused to show up in protest of their wedding.

"Have you called the doctor?" Brody was concerned about Grandma Hilton’s health.

"Yeah." Tania wanted to move on from it. She glanced at Leia and eventually, her gaze landed on Mr. and Mrs.

Norman. She put on a faint smile and greeted them with her husband, "Mr. Norman, Mrs. Norman, how are you?"

They were polite and treated the Normans like friends, not in-laws.

Jack and Queenie also greeted them. They had been in politics long enough that they were sick of acting polite.

Tania and Julius sat down. They looked at Bianca and asked curiously," This is?"

Queenie introduced, "This is my eldest daughter, Bianca."

Tania's eyes suddenly brightened as she looked at Bianca with admiration. She had done her research and knew all

about the eldest daughter of the Norman family. She was a career woman, and after hearing about what Bianca

had gone through, she related to Bianca and admired her. Tania wished that instead of the whiny Leia, Bianca was

the one marrying Brody instead. Both were daughters of the Norman family, so how could the daughter raised by

the Normans and their long-lost daughter be so different?

It was a pity that Bianca married Luke Crawford a long time ago. The Hiltons would be counting their blessings

otherwise.

Leia noticed that Tania was looking at Bianca with admiration. She was exasperated that everyone was looking at

Bianca that way.

The fire of envy was burning within her, and Leia stood up while saying," Please excuse me, I need to head to the

bathroom."

Brody also stood up and said, "I'll accompany you." "No, I'll just go myself." Leia chuckled to hide her jealousy and

walked out of the room with her hands on her waist.

Tania ignored Leia. She would never have agreed to this marriage if it were not for the sake of the child.

Tania handed the menu to the Normans. Although the Hilton family's business was all abroad, it would be great if

they had local government officials as their in-laws. Tania politely said, "Mr. Norman, Mrs. Norman, what would you

like to have?"

Jack pushed the menu back to her and said, "You can order whatever you like. My wife and I are not picky eaters."

"Then..." Tania's gaze fell on Bianca as she asked, "Mrs. Crawford, would you like to order for us?"

Bianca smiled softly. She did not want to be involved. Mrs. Hilton, you can go ahead." "Okay, I’ll order some dishes

to share." As they did not want to order, she opened the menu and ordered some of the restaurant's signature

dishes.

Julius stood up.

Tania asked, "Where are you going?" "I want to smoke. Mr. Norman, do you want to come with me?" Julius took out

his packet of cigarettes from his pocket and invited Jack.

Jack had quit smoking, so he shook his head and said, "No, I've quit smoking." "It's good to quit smoking, stay

healthy. I'll be back." Julius smiled and walked outside.

Bianca saw him leave. From the moment the couple walked in, Tania had been the one calling the shots. He had not

spoken more than a few sentences. It was clear who wore the pants in the Hilton family.

However, her instinct told her that this quiet man was not as simple as he appeared.

Julius walked out with the cigarette, looked back, and saw that no one was following him. Then, he turned around

and walked to the bathroom.

Leia was taking a deep breath in the women's bathroom to adjust her emotions.

Every time she met someone who treated Bianca well, she could not help being angry. She had to take some time

to ease her mood.

She turned on the faucet, washed her hands, and looked down at her bulging belly. She whispered, Baby, you have

to fight for US."

After wiping her hands, Leia walked out and was pulled into the nursing room on her way back to the private room.

She was shocked but saw that it was Julius.

"You almost scared me to death! Why are you here?" Leia patted her chest, leaned against the wall, and said flirtily.

Julius squinted and looked at her belly. "How long do you want me to wait?"
