All Chapters of Billionaire's Second Wife: Bound To Him By Vows: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Pearl’s P.O.V. (Continued)“He is sleeping soundly. You can go to our room and have some rest, too," Arthur said to me worriedly.“You need rest more than I do,” I replied to him worriedly when I saw his lashes dropping.He was about to refuse when a soft yawn escaped from his lips, which he tried hard to muffle by pursing his lips, but it only made me smile.“I am thinking about lying here with him. He is sleeping peacefully.” Arthur mumbled, looking at Evan, trying hard to stay awake.“Mrs. Froste.” Willow picked up the call, her voice frantic.“What is it?” I asked her while putting the phone on the bed, as I had earbuds.I gestured for Arthur to lie down on the bed with Evan while I held his hand with a drip attached.He smiled weakly but did what I asked.“Someone tried to enter your office through the maintenance shaft.” She told me hurriedly, fear and worry evident in her voice.My hands holding the sheet to cover Arthur and Evan paused midway.“What did you say?” I asked her i

Arthur’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Do… do you really want to give birth to our child?” I asked her cautiously, keeping my voice low.For some unknown reason, my heartbeat raced when I asked her that question.“Of course, I want to, Arthur. I… I don’t know why, but I have this hunch that Evan will survive that long, and if he really does, then he will need the cord blood.”I should be happy to hear that she was still thinking about how to save Evan, but I wasn’t.This was the real reason that we got married in the first place and consumed our marriage. But it didn’t bring the joy that I had anticipated.“And… and it’s also our first child.” She whispered, lowering her eyes a little more.My heart skipped a beat.“Even if I conceived out of necessity, it’s our child, no less than any other people in our lives.”I tightened my grip on her torso.The corners of my mouth curled up slightly.“Yeah. No matter what happens next, we need to protect both of our children,” I added in a low voice.The

Pearl’s P.O.V.“This is beautiful,” I whispered while looking at the pond and its surroundings. They had maintained it so well, and the best thing was that the shed on one side.“If you like it, we can finish the paperwork today,” Arthur said to me, and I nodded in agreement.“Ask Paul to finish the paperwork, and Evan’s room will be that one, the one near the garden. I want a small playground for him there.” I instructed Arthur while visualizing Evan playing there.“You… you want his room outside the medical wing?” he asked me in a surprised tone.I walked in that direction as I wanted to inspect the space by myself.Sapphire was already working on it.Of course, she would be responsible for the interior and renovation of this place.I needed this place to be ready in three days.After learning so much about the involvement of Arthur’s parents and those moles around us, I didn’t want to stay in that place any longer.We left Evan sleeping, and Victor was with him right now.Although,

Pearl’s P.O.V. (Continued)“No, ma’am. I have already done enough. They have been investigating already, and ….. and they will find me sooner or later. Find someone else for your deeds, ma’am. I can’t do this anymore, and I don’t care about your threats. Do whatever you want to do.” Cara almost yelled at the person and hung up after a loud sob.She didn’t take any name, but from her statement, it was clear that she was threatened or the person had her weakness.Yet, it didn’t change the fact that she was the one who stabbed us in the back.Dread filled my heart when a sudden thought crossed my mind.What if she did something to Evan to make his condition worse than leaking Evan’s condition to the person on the other side of the call?My heart thudded hard against my ribcage.No, it couldn't be.It shouldn't be.Evan was no threat to anyone.Why would anyone want him dead?What will he or she gain by hurting Evan like this?“Evan is waking up. Come here as quickly as possible.” Victor

Arthur’s P.O.V. (Continued)The room fell silent after that.Pearl’s words were enough to guilt-trip my parents if they really had any conscience left.She cornered them in the worst way.They had ruled the business world for a long time, but a young girl cornered them emotionally.With no threat, or with any accusations…Just a simple fact about how their decisions of hiding everything related to Evan pushed him to his deathbed.Mom sobbed.Dad continued glaring hard at Pearl but said nothing.I was about to open my mouth as my patience was already thinning, when I noticed a crack in his composure.He was still stubborn, but I noticed fear creeping into his gaze.Mom had covered her mouth, but her shoulders were still trembling hard.“What’s the use of crying now, Mom? Will it turn the time back?” I asked her in a grim voice.“This was not supposed to happen, Arthur. Griffin ….. he said th…. that Evan would not be in any danger, and once Pearl delivers the baby, Evan will be free of
