Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 254

Sieben's fingers moved gently. Her eyebrows twitched and the corners of her tightly pursed lips revealed a smile.

"You must be very fond of him if you’re willing to give birth to his child," Sieben said with a sigh. Her wrist was a little stiff and Lindsey was still holding her hand.

Lindsey smiled and did not answer her question.

Sieben was very puzzled and continued, "Then shouldn’t all children that were born be liked? But why are there so many abandoned children in this world?"

When she asked this question, Lindsey was also silent. After a long time, Lindsey finally said, "All parents love their children, but everyone will encounter a variety of situations in life that will leave them with no choice. They might not want to give up their children, but there’s no better option."

Even though she said this, she still could not even convince herself. Children should be the result of love, not the byproduct of lust.

Just like when Liam Wilford found her biological parents, the man and woman who had fallen in love but ended up going their separate ways, she was a bit resentful at first.

Even now, with a child of her own, Lindsey still could not understand.

‘Why did they give birth to me if they didn't want me?’ Lindsey could not figure it out.

"Let's just not be such people in the future." After a long time, Lindsey raised her head and smiled at Sieben. She touched her belly again, but her expression was suddenly a bit downcast. "If I could, I really want to watch him grow up."

"You will," Sieben said from the side, the confusion on her face was replaced by determination.

Lindsey smiled but did not say anything.

Some things were always dead knots that could not be untied.

After Zayn was done with work at night, Lindsey was still awake. When she saw Zayn enter the room, Lindsey yawned and said, "You're done with work?"

"Yeah, why don't you go to bed if you're sleepy?" Zayn approached her and habitually pinched her cheek.

"I was waiting for you," Lindsey said as she straightened up and kneeled on the bed, pulling Zayn to sit down. "Come here, I have something to tell you."

Her eyes were clear, Zayn followed her movements and sat down. "I have something I want to say too."

"Then you speak first." Lindsey looked at Zayn with some apprehension.

Zayn nestled her hands and feet into the quilt. His eyes were gentle. "It’s nothing much, you can speak first."

Lindsey pursed her lips and first gave Zayn a gentle kiss on the cheek. "When I was rescued back then..."

She had just started speaking, but she was already getting choked up. She could barely suppress the overwhelming emotions, but she forced herself to look straight at Zayn.

Zayn had also guessed what she wanted to say. He placed a hand on Lindsey’s back and gently pulled her in as a silent comfort.

"Liam's fiancée has a very serious heart condition and might not be able to live more than three years. When their family doctor was helping me with my treatment, he inadvertently discovered that I was a suitable organ donor for his fiancée. It means that if I give her my heart, then his fiancée can be cured."

That was why Lindsey still chose to escape after they cleared up the misunderstanding between them. That was the reason after knowing that she was pregnant, she even thought about not having the baby.

She simply did not have the time.

"So, you don't want me or our child because of them?" Zayn tried to suppress the unspoken sadness and disappointment he felt.

Tears rolled down her cheeks. Lindsey desperately shook her head and said, "No, Zayn, it's not like that. I'm just not sure that you really love me. And I can’t be sure that this child will be loved if I give birth to him, or if he’ll be an unwelcome presence like I was. I can't bear that outcome."

"What I've done for you still can't convince you?" Zayn was questioning Lindsey in a deep voice by her ear.

Lindsey choked. Her words made Zayn's heart ache. "I didn’t dare to believe it. I didn't dare to face you. I'm a coward. Zayn, I’ve loved you for so many years."

That was why when her long-cherished wish came true, she was afraid that it was just too good to be true, so she forced herself to escape.

That was also the reason Lindsey dared not tell him the truth. She did not want their relationship to return to the cold winter after experiencing such nice warmth.

"Me too," Zayn said in Lindsey’s ear. His voice was trembling and he hugged her tighter as if he wanted her to be a part of him.

Lindsey lifted her head in his embrace and kissed him on the lips. She was eager and clumsy.

Zayn reached out to hold the back of her head and kissed her back. They were both eager to prove their feelings for each other in this intimate way.
