Meanwhile, in Elio’s car.
Roman was on his phone, excitedly telling everyone that he had a mom now.
Seconds later, Lucas Lampard replied to his voice message. “Yeah, yeah, I got it! I’m in the middle of a
game; you don’t have to repeat it. I was there, and I know you have a mom. Can you stop spamming
me with the same messages?”
“Lucas, your mom doesn’t look as good as mine!”
“Fine, your mom’s the prettiest. She’s like a fairy or something. Can you quit bugging me when I’m
gaming! I’m in the middle of a team match, and I’m getting my butt kicked!”
Roman replied. “You just suck at it.”
Astrid fell silent.
She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Roman was spamming all his friends on WhatsApp. He wasn’t satisfied and started making calls.
He was telling everyone that he had a mom without actually telling them who she was, and then he
would just hang up, regardless of whether they had finished their sentence.
Astrid didn’t stop him because she knew he was happy.
Astrid had mixed feelings when she looked at the little guy next to her.
Elio wanted to talk to Astrid but didn’t know what to say.
At a red light, the car stopped.
Watching the windshield wipers move back and forth, Elio finally spoke up. “Astrid, did you ever try to
find me back then?”
When I found out I was pregnant, I looked up the hotel registration from that night. But I couldn’t find
your record, and the surveillance had been completely destroyed. Where was I supposed to look for
you? Was I supposed to announce to the world that I was pregnant and ask the father to come find
me?”
Elio’s question reminded Astrid of her past struggles.
After getting pregnant, she was threatened by an anonymous person to abort the baby. She had This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
several close calls with accidents.
She thought about giving up the baby, but the doctor told her that due to her weak body, she might not
be able to get pregnant again after an abortion. After much struggle, she decided to keep the baby.
Knowing someone was out to harm her baby, she decided to keep a low profile.
Later, for her and her child’s safety, Gracie took her back to their hometown.
During her pregnancy, she had severe morning sickness. She couldn’t eat, and she would throw up
whatever she ate. Other pregnant women would gain weight, but she lost a lot because she couldn’t
keep food down.
In Gracie’s words, she was surviving on a wing and a prayer!
In the later stages of her pregnancy, she recovered slightly, but she often felt dizzy due to anemia.
Her child was stolen and she braved the rain to search for him. Then her C–section wound tore open;
she bled heavily, and she almost lost her life!
And Elio?
He was having a scandal with Fannie!
Astrid felt a surge of resentment as she thought about the past.
Back home, Astrid led Roman straight into the house, with Elio following right behind her. When they
got to the door, Astrid turned around and said, “Turn around!”
Elio looked at her, not understanding her request, but obediently turned around.
Without hesitation, Astrid lifted her leg and kicked him in the butt, sending him flying out of the door.
Then she slammed the door shut with a bang.
