Chapter 111: Pregnant

Anthony's POV:

After the time I spent alone with Jennifer, I was almost convinced that she was my mate.

It was just unfortunate that I could not remember anything about her.

After bidding Jennifer goodbye, I returned to the hotel.

She filled my thoughts so much that I had no choice but to admit that I had a crush on her.

Even if it turned out that she was not my mate, I knew that I could still easily fall in love with her.

My wolf must have picked up on the direction of my thoughts because it became restless.

"Anthony, you should just accept Jennifer as our mate.Although I can't smell the mate bond, my
intuition is telling me that she is the best choice.She is beautiful, elegant, and sincere.She is a strong
she-wolf with a good character, and she doesn't seem like the type to lie.I kind of trust Jennifer's word
over Caroline's."

I could not deny that I thought so too.I also trusted Jennifer more than I trusted Caroline.

Besides, Jennifer had no reason to lie to me about this matter.

If she simply wanted a mate, she probably would have chosen one out of the many other werewolves
wooing her.

My phone rang, cutting into my thoughts.

I picked up the phone, thinking that Jennifer sent me a message.

But when I checked the screen, it was actually a report from my subordinate.



"The forensic doctor performed an autopsy on the corpses, but we were unable to get any significant
clues regarding the magicians' identities.DNA test results show that the magicians were not members
of the Rainbow Pack.In fact, they are not from any pack.They seem more like a group of rogues."

I got a headache after reading the message.

Things were not as simple as I had thought.

Since we had no leads, our investigation was far from over.

It looked like I really needed to stay in the Rainbow Pack's territory.

I picked up my phone once more and called my attendant.

"There is something I must do here.Make arrangements so that we always have an eye on Austin, and
take good care of my mother."

My attendant confirmed that he was going to do as I said, and then I ended the call.

After that, I had a new hypothesis regarding what happened during the anniversary banquet.

Arthur didn't seem like the type to make such an elaborate assassination plan.

If he wasn't the mastermind, who was? After a while, Caroline called me and asked me to have dinner
with her.

I wanted to test her so I agreed.

We went to a restaurant for dinner.

At some point during the evening, I told her that I needed to go to the bathroom, and I left my phone on
my seat.



But I didn't actually go to the bathroom.

I found a spot a good distance from our table where I could observe Caroline without her noticing.

When it seemed like I wasn't going to come back right away, Caroline looked in the direction of the
bathroom before taking my phone.

Her action confirmed my suspicions.

I took this opportunity to return to the table.

"What are you doing?" I coolly asked her.

"A-Anthony..."

So surprised by my reappearance, Caroline started to stutter.

She clearly had not expected to get caught in the act.

I snatched my phone from her hand.

When I checked my phone, it revealed that she had been browsing my text conversation with Jennifer.

She probably wanted to tamper with my phone.

"Anthony, I didn't see anything."

Caroline desperately tried to cover up her tracks.

"We're really close.You used to allow me to look through your phone.You even set it up so that it would
unlock with my fingerprints.Please don't be angry with me, Anthony.I won't do it again." She looked
sincere but now I knew it was all an act.



"I refuse to have dinner with a liar.We may have grown up together, Caroline, but I never expected you
to have such bad habits." Caroline tried to hold me back.

She looked up at me with tears in her eyes and pleaded, "I really didn't lie.Please believe me, Anthony.I
love you very much."

I no longer trusted Caroline so I shook her off. I just did not expect her to collapse to the floor.

Because I still regarded her as my younger sister, I turned to help her up.

But she curled in on herself and groaned in pain.

"Anthony, my stomach hurts.It really hurts."

I wasn't sure if this was part of her act, but I was determined not to fall for any more of her tricks.

I turned to leave, but then I noticed that Caroline's dress was stained with blood.

After my initial shock, I rushed her to the nearest hospital.

Caroline's POV:

I couldn't believe that I was pregnant with Austin's child.

This was not what I had planned.

Anthony and I arrived at the hospital.

One of the doctors in the emergency room looked after me while Anthony waited outside.

Although my stomach was hurting, I was more worried about what Anthony would think of me.

I knew that the child was Austin's.



He was the only man I had sex with.

I needed his help so I had no choice but to have sex with him.

But I had not expected to become pregnant with his child.

If Anthony knew who the baby's father was, I would lose all chances to be with him.

What could I do in my current situation? When the doctor was done examining me, Anthony entered
the ward.

He looked panicked and worried.

This proved that I still had a place in his heart.

"The patient is almost two months pregnant.You need to be careful from now on because this is a
critical time for her.During the first trimester, it is easy for the mother to get a miscarriage."

As the doctor explained my pregnancy to Anthony, an idea formed in my mind.

I decided to claim that the child was his.

That way, he could never leave me.

Anthony looked shocked by the doctor's news.

He then settled into the chair next to my bed.

I still felt weak so my act seemed even more realistic.

I tugged on Anthony's sleeve and let tears roll down my cheeks.



"You know what, Anthony? You nearly killed your own child.For the sake of our baby, please don't leave
me.This baby is yours so I want to give birth to it.And every child deserves a complete family.The three
of us could be happy together."

My tears were real.

I didn't want to be pregnant with Austin's baby, but I could not bring myself to abort it.

Besides, this was an opportunity to raise the baby as Anthony's.

If Anthony believed that this baby was his, he wouldn't have the heart to leave me.

"How did you get pregnant? I don't remember ever sleeping with you.You've always been like a sister
to me."

I never wanted to be his sister! "You don't remember, Anthony? We've had sex before, but you
probably just forgot.Now that I'm pregnant with your child, I need to take better care of myself.Don't
worry, Anthony.For you, I will give birth to a cute child."

"All right, all right.Take it easy for now.It's not good for the child if you get stressed,"

Anthony told me almost robotically.

I didn't know if he believed me or not, but it was enough that he was willing to stay by my side and take
care of me.

Being pregnant was useful after all.
