At this moment, the attending doctor smiled at Cecilia Gu and said, "Young Madam, please don't worry. The child in your belly is doing very well and is healthy!"
The color drained from Cecilia's face. Her eyes widened in shock as she grabbed the doctor who was checking her pulse. Her voice trembled, "What did you say? A child? Are you saying I'm pregnant?"
Although she had always loved children and wanted one, she only ever wanted to have a child with Zach Zhao. This child shouldn't have happened.
She thought the nightmare was over, but little did she know, it was following her everywhere.
But why? Why was fate so cruel, dragging her back to reality and making her suffer all over again?
Meanwhile, outside, Charles Yin had reached the peak of his anger.
"No way! Grandma, no matter what you say, I won't marry her!" Charles Yin was almost losing control. "I absolutely will not marry a woman I don't love!"
Grandma Evelyn Yin's eyes turned cold as she looked at Charles Yin. Her tone was stern. "Charles, you'd better think carefully! The company is currently working with a Korean enterprise, and soon the chairman and his wife will visit China. What they value most is family! If they find out you got a woman pregnant and then abandoned her, what do you think they'll think of the Yin Corporation?"
When Charles Yin heard his grandmother's words, his emotions instantly calmed down.
He lit a cigarette, and by the time he finished smoking it, he was completely calm.
Grandma Evelyn Yin saw that her grandson's emotions had finally stabilized, and continued, "My stance is clear: you must marry her, not let her secretly give birth to this child and then abandon the mother! The Korean corporation is about to sign a ten-year contract with Yin Group, and I will not allow anything to jeopardize this agreement!"
"Yin Group absolutely cannot be without an heir! Charles, you should know how many of your uncles and cousins have been eyeing your position as CEO! If you can't produce an heir, then any mistake you make could shake your position!" Grandma Evelyn Yin continued calmly, "With threats inside and out, Charles, don't you realize what you need to do?"
Charles Yin was indeed shaken.
Grandma was right.
The reason he could become CEO was because Grandma had insisted on putting him in charge, against everyone else’s objections.
His uncles and older relatives were furious about it, resenting him deeply.
But over the past two years, his outstanding performance had raised Yin Group’s market value by twenty percent, finally silencing the critics.
He wasn’t some naive kid—he just hated having his marriage controlled by others.
A month ago, news about him and Cecilia Gu had already been exposed once. People started talking behind his back. If he messed up again this time, there could be real consequences. Plus, the Korean company’s representatives probably already believed the woman in the news was his wife.
He finally looked up at Grandma, exhaustion in his voice: "Grandma, I can agree to marry her and let her have the child."
Grandma Evelyn Yin finally nodded in satisfaction.
This grandson had always been her greatest pride.
Not only was he smart, but he was also sensible. He knew how to weigh pros and cons, how to judge the situation.
As the heir to the Yin family, he had to learn to make sacrifices!
"Go comfort the girl, Charles. Grandma trusts you know what to do." Grandma Evelyn Yin patted his shoulder and left, satisfied.
Charles Yin watched his grandmother leave, his eyes lowered. In those long, slightly upturned eyes was a hidden emotion no one else could read.
He would get married, but living with that woman was absolutely impossible.
It was just a contract marriage—there was nothing he couldn't bear.
Cecilia Gu sat on the bed, hugging her knees, silently sobbing. The medical staff around her had no idea what was going on, exchanging confused glances.
To be pregnant with the Yin family heir was supposed to be a huge blessing! Why did she look so heartbroken?
Did she not want to be pregnant with this child at all?
That shouldn’t be the case…
Charles Yin slowly approached from outside, his long, straight legs making him look strikingly handsome.
His delicate, perfect features—especially those long, slightly upturned eyes—had an irresistible, elegant charm.
"CEO... Young Madam..." the doctor couldn’t help but speak up.
"I know. All of you, leave." Charles Yin’s commanding presence filled the room. Like subjects before a king, everyone immediately lowered their heads and retreated.
Hearing the voice, Cecilia Gu jerked her head up and immediately saw Charles Yin.
The moment she saw him, Cecilia’s tears fell like broken pearls, uncontrollable.
Now, she finally knew who the man standing before her was.
