Lucian, Our Child Is Not A Mistake

"Congratulations, you're pregnant."

The doctor smiled slightly, and Angelica felt like she had just heard the funniest yet most absurd joke.

She had always been single, without even a boyfriend. How could she be pregnant? She wasn't some kind of creature that could reproduce asexually.

"Doctor, you must be mistaken. I can't be pregnant."

"Didn't you undergo artificial insemination last month?"

What?

Angelica nearly fell off her chair.

When did she ever undergo artificial insemination?

"I'm single. Why would I undergo artificial insemination? I only had a check-up."

The doctor looked at her in astonishment. "The medical records confirm it. The doctor who conducted the operation has left the hospital. I don't have all the details. If you don't want to keep the baby, I can help you schedule an abortion."

Angelica felt like she had been struck by lightning.

What on earth was going on? Was she really pregnant?

Yesterday, she had given all her money to her brother for his medical bills. She even had to borrow money for food. How could she afford an abortion?

Standing up, she stumbled out of the office, her head buzzing.

As soon as she stepped out of the hospital, a woman grabbed her. "Are you Angelica Moore?"

She turned around, shocked to see Linda Walsh, the fiancée of the company's big boss.

"What do you want?"

Linda handed her a business card. "Have the baby. You can make your offer."

What? Angelica was stunned. "How do you know I'm pregnant?"

Linda glared at her. "Stop asking so many questions and just do as I say."

Angelica couldn't just comply without getting a clear idea of what was going on. She wasn't a fool to be manipulated.

"If you don't explain, I won't agree."

Linda frowned, looking frustrated. Her gaze swept over Angelica's belly with a hint of malice.

"To be honest, this child should be mine. The damn doctor made a mistake and performed the insemination on you."

Angelica was shocked and confused.

So, the father of this child was the big boss?

How did such a colossal mistake happen to her?

"I... need to think about it."

This was too big a decision to make immediately.

"I expect your answer tomorrow. If you dare leak a word of this, you're dead."

The woman left.

On her way back to the office, Angelica's mind was in turmoil.

Linda's words were tempting.

Her brother was sick, and medical bills seemed never-ending. But if she had the baby, would she still be able to live a normal life?

She walked into the elevator with a troubled expression.

Just as the elevator doors were closing, a tall figure stepped in.

The moment she saw the man, Angelica's heart nearly leaped out of her chest.

It was Lucian Jansen, the big boss!

The father of the child in her belly!

Since joining the company, she had only seen him once.

A man this handsome and exceptional, who could captivate anyone at first glance, was unforgettable for a lifetime.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Jansen."

Lucian didn't recognize her at all. Out of politeness, he nodded slightly, his expression naturally aloof.

Angelica was certain that he had no idea his sperm had been accidentally implanted in her uterus. If he did, there's no way he'd be this calm.

She instinctively touched her belly. The thought of carrying his child filled her with mixed emotions.

The elevator felt oppressive.

She stared at the floor indicator, hoping to get out quickly.

When they reached the fiftieth floor, the elevator suddenly shook violently, and the lights went out, plunging them into darkness.

Caught off guard, Angelica lost her balance and fell to the floor.

"What's happening? Is the elevator malfunctioning?"

"Don't move."

Lucian pressed himself against the inner wall, remaining calm. He had experienced many crises and knew how to handle emergencies.

He took out his phone to turn on the flashlight when the elevator shook again.

Angelica was weak with fear. As the elevator shook, she fell forward into something solid.

Dizzy and disoriented, she tried to get up but found herself stuck.

Her head was wedged between two "pillars"!

Panic-stricken, her mind went blank.

Her hands groped around wildly on the "pillars," trying to free herself but to no avail.

"I'm... I'm stuck..."

Lucian's face went through a kaleidoscope of colors, shifting from ashen white to a sickly blue.

It was his first time being touched by a woman from top to bottom like this.

Was she trying to seduce him?

A spark of anger flashed in his dark eyes as he grabbed her wandering hands.

"If you move again, these hands will no longer belong to you."

Angelica whimpered, "Mr. Jansen, I'm really stuck. If today is my last day alive, I have a secret to tell you."
