All Chapters of Billionaire's Second Wife: Bound To Him By Vows: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Pearl’s P.O.V.My eyes were now glued to the piece of paper that OB gave me a few seconds ago.The word “POSITIVE” was flying in front of my eyes.My hand went on my flat stomach while I tried to process that I was actually pregnant.That there was a tiny life taking form in there.“Congrats, Mrs. Froste. The urine test showed that you are pregnant, but it’s still too early for a scan.” The OB, Maria Simpson, the one Victor suggested to me, said to me in a cheerful voice.I could feel nothing there.Yet that simple word changed everything.I looked up at Dr. Simpson, who was smiling at me, and then looked back at the paper again.For a brief moment...A very brief moment...The ugliness of everything outside this room disappeared.I remembered how excited Vera was when she told us about her pregnancy.She was practically glowing, telling us how wonderful this feeling was.She wasn’t wrong.This feeling is really the most wonderful in the world.I was pregnant with Arthur’s child.A ti

Arthur’s P.O.V.“She is pregnant now, Victor, and this is her first pregnancy. I need to ensure that she won’t have any problems. You need to talk to your team, and ….. and hire a reliable OB for her.” I instructed Victor over the call restlessly.“Relax, Arthur. You are panicking more than Pearl,” he remarked teasingly, a bit annoyed by my nagging but amused.“She knows nothing about the pregnancy, Victor. That’s why she is not worried.” I remarked, stopping in the middle of the room.I was pacing restlessly after Pearl told me about her pregnancy.I had seen how much worse Vera was during Evan’s pregnancy.The morning sickness and nausea were all the time, and she lost so much weight during the first trimester because she couldn’t digest.“Yeah. You are right.” Victor replied annoyingly.“Arrange for her blood tests first, and we have an ultrasound machine, right?” I continued asking him, still anxious.“God, Arthur! You will be the death of me.” He grumbled, but I didn’t pay attent

Arthur’s P.O.V. (Continued)There was a long silence at the other end of the call.Not the kind that came from confusion.But the kind that came when reality refused to be accepted all at once.“That’s not possible,” my father finally said, but his voice lacked its usual authority and confidence.It was filled with sheer fear and disbelief.Cara had been our family ever since Evan’s birth, and we all trusted her blindly.“Say that again,” my mother whispered beside him; the trembling in her voice was crystal clear.I closed my eyes for a second.“I said,” my voice turned colder, steadier.“Evan’s condition was not a natural deterioration. It was induced. Slow poisoning. Systematic suppression of his immune response over two years.” I pressed every word as if I wanted to drill all these words into their ears.A sharp inhale echoed through the line.My mother’s breathing turned uneven.“No,” she murmured, as if repeating the word could undo it.“Cara said that she didn’t know what exact

Pearl’s P.O.V. (Continued)I just coc*ed my brow a little while keeping a faint smile on my lips.Arthur didn’t take more than ten seconds to understand what I had in my mind.“No stress and sadness today, Arthur. Today.” I paused and took a deep breath.I was still anxious about my pregnancy, but the way Arthur reacted earlier over the call, I believed he was happy.“Oh, right.” He mumbled, and his gaze moved to my stomach.My grip on his shoulder tightened a little.My heart skipped a beat when his gaze fixed there for a few seconds.“Yes, no stress and sadness today,” he mumbled, his hand slowly reaching towards my stomach.My body stiffened, and my heart started racing a bit.He was about to touch my belly when we heard a knock on the door.I flinched harder, startled by the knock.Arthur immediately moved his upper body and embraced me.I put a hand on my chest and patted it.Heat rushed to my cheeks in embarrassment.That was just a soft knock, but I was so concentrated on his m

Jack’s P.O.V. (Continued)I couldn’t even blink while processing what he just said.Arthur laughed dryly, but I continued staring at our father in disbelief.He was intending to send but forgot.How could he forget when he knew that….Wait…Did he say that he asked Cara?Was he implying that Cara was giving something suspicious to Evan?Arthur didn’t answer me when I asked him about Cara’s whereabouts earlier, and now this…The confusion and disbelief collided in my brain.One thing that I understood perfectly well by now was that our parents not only hid Evan’s sickness but also let other people use him as a lab rat to test some unknown drug.“You……First, you stopped my son from receiving proper treatment. Then you found evidence that could have exposed everything. Instead of acting, you forgot? How conveniently you said that you forgot, Dad.” Arthur mocked them angrily.I snapped out of my trance and jerked my head sharply.My breath was uneven, but I felt more awake than before.Th
