Chapter 348 I Was Pregnant Then
Chapter 348 I Was Pregnant Then
The night came quietly, and the dim light in the room brought Rebekah back to the past.
She took the album and pointed at the first white and black photo.
The young man and woman stood together. A little boy stood by the man, and a baby girl was in the woman’s arms.
“I was abandoned by my parents when I was born. Joseph’s grandparents found me in a temple where they took a trip. They took me back, thus I became their daughter and Henry’s sister. Henry is one year older than me.”
The old Mr. Beckham was young at that time. He loved his wife, but they felt hard to have a baby. Especially his wife was even older than him. They made a great effort to have a son, so they went to the temple and wanted to get good fortune. They found the baby in the temple, and brought her back as their own daughter.
“I didn’t know I was adopted until I was seventeen. No one told me about this before.”
Looking at the pictures of Henry and Rebekah, Hayden was amazed.
“It was really hard to find it. After all, you look similar to Henry.”
Rebekah’s face turned soft as she looked at the photo. She touched the photo with her pale fingers, as if she wanted to get in touch with the past.
Maybe because they grew up together, Rebekah and Henry looked really similar. Even many people thought they were twins.
The old Beckham and his wife also thought the girl was a gift from fate, so they didn’t explain it. Rebekah didn’t know her real identity until she was seventeen.
She was spoiled by everyone in the family, so she had no preparation to fight against the malicious world. She even felt happy when she fell in love with a man at her college.
Her parents loved her, her brother took good care of her, and her lover often made surprises for her.
“I was young and naive at that time, so I didn’t know there would be liars in this world. I thought it was love, so I made up my mind to be with him. He also said we would get married when we graduated, and I trusted him.”
Speaking of this, Rebekah’s face turned paler. She seemed to remember something miserable.
“Then I got pregnant.”
Hayden was shocked as she heard this. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
“So that baby is..”
Rebekah looked at Hayden, and then nodded seriously.
The accidental pregnancy scared the naive girl, though she believed she could marry her lover.
So Rebekah told this to her brother, Henry.
The respectful gentleman, Henry Beckham, fought with Zed when he heard this. The two young men fought together. It was Rebekah’s crying that stopped them.
Henry took Rebekah to leave the college. He told Rebekah about Zed on the way home. Zed was a liar. Even he was not a student at this college. He just came here to flirt with girls in this college.
Zed cheated Rebekah, because he knew her identity in the Beckham family. He broke up with his pregnant fiancee and focused on lying to Rebekah.
“Henry just came back from abroad, so the information he had got was too late. I made the mistake before he wanted to tell me.”
On the way home, Henry made two plan to deal with this matter.
The first plan was to make an abortion. Henry would help Rebekah to hide this from her parents and kill that bastard. Rebekah could live outside until she recovered.
“I was reluctant to do that. I even thought Zed was not as bad as my brother said. Maybe Zed was a bastard before, but what if he really loved me? Henry had no way to persuade me, so he made another plan. If Zed could pass the exam, Henry would also change his mind and help us to persuade our parents.”
Henry’s exam was to tell Zed that Rebekah was adopted and she would get no money from the family in the future. However, Rebekah could get help from the family, so Zed should still take good care of Rebekah.
“The exam was useful.” Speaking of this, Rebekah showed a bitter smile, and her tone became ironic.
“I thought Zed would pass the exam. I believed I was what Zed loved, not the money. I waited for him to see my parents. However, he disappeared after three months.”
Three months later, Zed successfully hooked up with another rich girl and went abroad together.
At that time, Rebekah was four months pregnant. Her pregnancy became obvious, and it was hard to make the abortion at that time. However, she was despaired and unwilling to have that baby.
“I went to the hospital, but the doctor said they wouldn’t make the abortion without my parents’ agreement. Then I went to a underground clinic, but my brother broke in. He stopped me and even
wanted to smash the clinic. I told him I made the greatest mistake at that age. It was the greatest shame for a family to have such a scandal.”
Rebekah lowered her head and continued with a deep voice, “Henry held me in his arms and said he would marry me. I began to realize the words he said to Zed were true.”
The truth was that she was really adopted, and had no Beckham’s blood.
Henry took her back home, and knelt down in front of their parents. He told them he would marry Rebekah.
Their parents were stupefied. How could their son and daughter get married?
“They disagreed. Dad disagreed and was furious. Mom took me to her room and asked me what had happened, but I couldn’t say anything. It was ashamed. I just cried.”
Rebekah’s voice was being faded. Like the dub of the old film, her voice was covered with dust, “Henry said I had his baby, and he had loved me for years.”
The old Mr. Beckham had been a soldier before. He succeeded the family industry after he retired, so he still had the strict temper of a soldier. He couldn’t accept Henry’s begging. He was angry and lash Henry up with a whip.
Henry got injured and had stayed in bed for one month. Then they got married in a hurry.
“To keep me away from those rumors, Henry said to others that we would travel around the world. He took me to stay abroad for one and a half years, and then we came back with the baby. We said the baby was healthy so he looked bigger.”
Hayden clenched her fists and was afraid to hear more.
