Chapter 229
“It’s not really necessary, ma. It’s just a blood collection, nothing more,” the doctor said and brought out
his tools then began to extract blood from her. Martha vommitted all of a sudden
The doctor almost caused her injury cause he flinched eventhough he had his tools inside her body,
“So sorry, Mrs. Martha,” the doctor apologized and hoped that he didn’t hurt her then he brought out his
tools.
“What happened to her?” Broderick asked the doctor from where he stood.
The doctor turned to him and responded, “I can not really say, yet sir but I’ll perform some test with her
blood to find out what’s wrong.” “Okay, do that,” Broderick said and the doctor gestured politely for
everyone to walk out of the laboratory. The kids sat gently in a special room with Martha while Broderick
stood. Martha was not happy that the kids didn’t even bother to care about what was wrong with her
neither did Broderick. Ever since they walked out of the laboratory, neither of the kids nor Broderick said
any word to her. “Broderick, I feel so weak,” Martha said weakly.
Broderick looked at her emotionlessly and said,” just hold on, dear. We are in the hospital and you can

“Okay,” Martha nodded and a few seconds later, the doctor walked towards them. “Sir…” The doctor was
holding a letter headed letter that had the result of what was wrong with Martha.
“Speak!” Broderick demanded.
..
“She …She’s pregnant, sir,” the doctor answered. The kids looked at eachother in shock. ‘Pregnant?’
they all mumbled one after the other as if they weren’t expecting her to get pregnant despite being
married to Broderick. Broderick turned to her and and asked Martha,” You are pregnant! For who?”

Martha stood up weakly and began to cry, “I feel ashamed that you asked me that type of question
before the doctor and the kids. Did you think I’ll stoop so low to cheat on you? I’ve been faithfully in love
with you. I didn’t know that the sex we had when you were drunk a few days ago will lead to my
pregnancy, I should have taken a pill after sex but I forgot. Please forgive me.”
“You are now pregnant for me?” Broderick asked and Martha nodded. “I can abort it if you want. Please
Broderick, don’t be angry with me,” Martha began to cry even more aggressively. Broderick remembered
a day he woke only to find himself naked beside Martha. He can’t say for sure if he had sex with her
cause he got drunk in the night of the previous day.

Actually, Martha was also naked beside him then.
“How many weeks pregnant is she?” Broderick asked and the doctor quickly responded,” three weeks
pregnant, sir.” “You can leave,” Broderick dismissed the doctor and he walked away
Their purpose of coming here became nullified. His mood became flat and he felt like a heavy stone was
placed on his heart… He was trying to make his complicated life easy and here comes another
complication. Broderick clenched his fist in anger but couldn’t do anything in front of the kids. “Let’s
leave,” he said and lead the kids to the car while Martha followed behind. Once they got back to his
mansion and he had ensured the kids had gone to their room, Broderick grabbed Martha’s neck and
said,” why did you take advantage of me?” “I didn’t, you were drunk and had sex with me. I tried to stop
you but you would not listen.”
Thinking of how she helped him when he newly lost his memory, he let go of his arms on her neck slowly.
Martha had cared so much for him after his loss of memory and he sometimes thinks he owes her for
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhow good she was to him. He thought that without Martha, he would not be able to remember many
things about himself. Martha slumped to the floor and began to cry,” I will just abort it.” “Don’t dare to,”
Broderick commanded. Martha looked at him from the floor that she sat and said,” I shouldn’t dare to,
huh?” With her teary face, she added,” but you almost strangled me just now. Are we not husband and
wife? And our kids are six years old? Why can’t I, as your wife get pregnant for you? Is it forbidden? You
use to take a good care of me before not until that woman called Amy show up. Ever since you became
friend with Amy, you stopped giving me attention and stopped showing me love and at the hospital, you
even asked me publicly if I was pregnant for someone else?” Martha shook her head like someone that
is badly hurt, “I feel so much pain in my heart.” She placed her hand on her heart and continued crying.
“My life is meaningless, I just wish I’m dead,” she lowered her head and let her tears fall to the floor.
Broderick had pity on her and knelt before her, he said very softly,” I’m sorry.” Nonetheless, Martha kept
her head lowered, tears kept dropping from her eyes like rain. “Martha, I was wrong for trying to strangle
you in anger, It’s true that I have not given you the attention I use to give you ever since I became close
to Amy. Now that you are pregnant with my child, I’ll change.”
