590 Chapter 589

….
Peter tensed up upon hearing this and turned his head.

Susan was shouting at them. “Even if you make me go to jail, I won’t let you off!”

She acted somewhat out of control, feeling fear-stricken at the thought of Fox’s poison. Her lie had been exposed, and it seemed like she could finally reveal her true self.

When Keira heard this, she frowned. “What?”

Susan started laughing. “Do you know that the azoospermia report for Ellis was all orchestrated by Fox? After you exposed that conspiracy, Fox then had me poison him! He’ll never be able to have children in his life!”

Susan laughed uproariously.

She knew she couldn’t escape this predicament. Now that the lie about saving Peter was exposed, Peter’s perception of her was no longer filtered, and the way he looked at her was filled with hatred.

She was doomed.

If death were imminent, then she would take a few down with her!

After she shouted these words, she looked toward Keira, “All of this is because of you! Keera, do you know? It was all your fault! Wasn’t your first mission to make Ellis marry Mary? To prevent you from completing this mission, Fox cooked up that report on azoospermia! Keera, you’re a calamity! It’s you who brought disaster upon the Olsen family, and I came to the Olsen family because of you! You’re the reason I got together with that idiot Peter!”

Upon hearing this, Keira was stunned.

She slowly turned her head and saw Ellis’s expression.

She quickly said, “Call the family doctor!”

The family doctor arrived promptly. After examining Ellis, he frowned. “Mr. Ellis has indeed been poisoned, and while it’s a bit exaggerated to say he’ll never be able to have children in his lifetime, it’s true for at least the next five or maybe ten years.”

This statement made Ellis sway.

He couldn’t help but look dazedly toward the bedroom upstairs… He was somehow glad that Mary wasn’t here.

Azoospermia…

Previously, he had been misled to suspect Mary and hurt her. Now, this must be retribution. He really couldn’t have children…

Ellis went limp.

Seeing this, Keira felt somewhat distressed. “Ellis…”

“I’m okay. Don’t worry. Continue with the interrogation. I’ll go upstairs to rest for a bit…”

Ellis slowly ascended the stairs.

Watching him from behind, Keira couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Didn’t he know that Mary was still pregnant?

It had been three and a half months!

Mary’s belly was already showing!

…

Upstairs.

Mary was also looking at her lower abdomen with concern.

The bump was becoming noticeable, yet the child’s father hadn’t asked her a single question. Since she chose to forgive Ellis and returned home, she had been unsure of how to broach the topic of the child; thus, she had never brought it up.

But absurdly, Ellis looked at her belly every day, preferring to believe she had just gained weight, never suspecting the truth!

Even this morning, he had touched her belly and exclaimed, “The confinement really does make one plump; this belly of yours feels quite pleasant to the touch.”

Mary was dumbfounded.

Mary didn’t know what to say.

Just as she was pondering how to tell Ellis the truth, the door was pushed open, and Ellis entered.

Mary immediately stood up.

She looked straight at Ellis. “Why are you back?”

Ellis sat down next to her and hesitantly looked at her before his gaze fell on her stomach.

Ellis asked, “Do you like children?”

Mary immediately became nervous. Had he noticed something?

She cradled her abdomen with both hands, her face shining with a mother’s glow, and she blurted out, “I do. Don’t you?”

Ellis was momentarily stunned. He wanted to say he did, too. He had once anticipated their own child, but after losing the first one, he never dared to say those words again.

His eyes even reddened slightly.

Tears slid from the corners of his eyes as he murmured dejectedly, “Mary…”

“Hmm?”

“Can we… could we have a child when we’re forty?”

“What?”

Ellis was in extreme pain, his tears rolling down as he said, “I didn’t want that child, and that’s why we lost the chance to have one. I’ll never be able to have children in this lifetime. If I could go back one month, I definitely wouldn’t have made such a stupid mistake…”

Mary didn’t quite understand, and her expression darkened. “What do you mean? You don’t want children?”

Ellis shook his head. “It’s not that I don’t want them, but rather… I can’t have them… I’ve been poisoned… The azoospermia last time was a lie, but this time… it’s true…”

Mary was perplexed.

Upon hearing this, she didn’t know whether to cry or laugh!

She couldn’t help but give Ellis a little shove. “Anyway, I have some good news to share with you.”

Ellis asked, “What is it?”

He stood up and wiped away his tears.

Seeing this, Mary took his hand and gently placed it on her belly. “Feel this carefully. Do you know what’s here?”

Ellis was confused.

His eyes widened slowly, and he stared at Mary in disbelief…

Downstairs.

Susan was still ranting arrogantly. “Ellis has no children, so the heir of the family has no descendants, and the competition for the next heir should start again! Haha, the Olsen family is finished!”

Hearing that, Mr. Olsen shook slightly. “What did you say?!”

Ellis was his eldest son. When it was first said that Ellis was sterile, Mr. Olsen was somewhat unable to accept it. After barely discovering that it was a false alarm, they ended up losing the child.

But now, this woman said his son couldn’t have children again!

Mr. Olsen clutched at his chest, feeling as though he could hardly breathe!

Susan then shouted, “Uncle, are you filled with hatred now? You should hate Keera! She’s the one who caused turmoil in your house! Hahaha!!!”

Mr. Olsen was gasping for breath.

His wife also clenched her fists tightly.

Both of them turned their gaze to “Keera”…

They knew it wasn’t right to blame “Keera”, but Susan’s words still stung.

They knew that the person in charge of the family was Uncle Olsen. Uncle Olsen never had children, and when choosing an heir, the family also went through some turmoil.

Ultimately, Uncle Olsen took Ellis in his arms to raise him as the heir to placate the situation.

If Ellis also had no descendants, they didn’t dare to imagine the consequences!

But at that moment, Keira suddenly said, “Who says Ellis won’t have children?”
