Chapter 695 Fetal Movement

"I think, I should offer congratulations to you," Hannah said with an indifferent smile.

Melvin was the biggest beneficiary, as he bought the island worth 20 billion merely for 20 million.

"You really stop at nothing to live," Melvin commented.

"Life matters." Hannah said in a serious tone, "Also, I'm expecting a baby now, I must not relax my vigilance in the least."

"And, if I hadn't kicked the door open, would you just wait for your doom without doing anything?" Melvin asked.

Hannah lapsed into silence.

"Now I have a slight suspicion of your affection for Oscar." Melvin forced a scornful laugh.

"I love him very much, and it's the truth. But, when facing a matter of life and death, we have to make the best decision. And you'll do it so. Everyone for himself and the devil takes the hindmost." Hannah said. Melvin didn't say more. Then he turned and was about to leave.

"Mr Balderston, whatever Oscar does, I'll not die if you live. Am I right?" Hannah suddenly began.

Melvin gave a smile and said, "Maybe I'm not a good man, but I'll do what I say and never go back on my word."

"Thank you, sir."

"But do you hold that I won't die?" Melvin turned his head and asked. He didn't have a well-thought-out plan, and he had prepared for the worst.

Hannah didn't answer his question directly and said, "Since you can't say for sure, why did you agree with Oscar?"

Melvin thought Hannah was bright. She could speculate what was on his mind simply by his words.

"Because of his words. I haven't gotten a chance to vanquish the Collins family, and actually, I don't have the courage and resolution to do it. What Oscar is doing now makes me think I have the chance to defeat them. If I let it go by, I'll not replace a better way to succeed, in the years or even decades to come. I've been waiting for an extremely long time, and I don't want to wait for any more." Melvin said seriously. Hannah looked at him. She saw his sorrow hidden in his strong appearance for the first time. No one was born a king. Only after going through all kinds of trials and tribulations, he might become the king. "I hope you won't die," Hannah said.

She didn't know who would be the winner, but she was very clear, in her position, she didn't want Melvin to die. In a word, they shared a common fate.

Melvin smiled. But it seemed that there was something different hidden in his smile.

"Anyway, thank you."

Melvin was a bit shocked at her words.

"I don't know what Harry would have done if you didn't come in. But you indeed protected me from being hurt."

"I just wanted to gain my ends. Besides, I promised Oscar I would take care of you, and your baby. That's nothing. Don't mention it."

Hannah smiled without a word. To talk with Melvin, it was better to stop when the meaning was conveyed.

It was half a month later.

Hannah was up. As usual, she retched when she brushed her teeth. After that, she had an upset stomach, then she stretched out next to the toilet table. At that moment, she was surprised that she felt a gentle fluttering from her belly. That was so slight but real. She seemed to have a slight suspicion. She was nearly taken up with antenatal training these days since she was too bored in Melvin's house. Thus, she knew that slight touch from her belly was fetal movement indeed.

"Why could I perceive the fetal movement at 4 months gestation? Isn't it typically perceived at 6 months' gestation?" Hannah wondered. She put her hands on her belly and stroked it tenderly. She studied her reflection in the mirror, replaceing the swell of her belly. She usually wore loose clothes, and she wasn't getting fat, so her swollen belly was barely visible unless her clothes were drawn open.

When Oscar was around her, he always complained that her belly didn't show signs of pregnancy and the child grew slowly. Now the baby bump was easy to see while Oscar was gone. Another half month passed. The battle she had expected to occur still didn't come. Hannah thought she didn't need to think about it, as she didn't play a leading role.

Hannah gave her belly a gentle stroke, and then she felt a fluttering again, a bit more distinct. Surely, it was a fetal movement. Her eyes were suddenly moist with tears. She became a little mentally frailer since she was pregnant, although she was not a sensitive person originally. She smiled with tears in her eyes and congratulated herself on her growing-up baby, who brought her some hope in such a situation.

Hannah set her mind to rest and got out of the bathroom to have breakfast. She began to dine with Melvin half a month ago. She would dine with him whenever he was at home. In the Balderston manor, there hadn't been anyone else coming for him since she lived there. But Hannah didn't concern herself about Melvin, and she didn't care what Melvin did every day. She sat at the table, and Melvin was seated across from her. They were both eating their breakfast, quietly.

"All things being equal, the battle will begin soon very shortly." Melvin began.

Hannah stopped, with the knife and fork in her hands. She was a bit alarmed by Melvin's words. And she tried hard to keep her composure.

Melvin put down his phone and looked at Hannah. "The Collins family couldn't stand us any longer." Said he.

Hannah looked into his eyes and said, "I believe you will win."

"God knows," Melvin said in a breezy tone.

Hannah didn't say more, as she was clear that Melvin had been well prepared.

"Take a few more bites," Melvin laughed knowingly, "maybe, it's our last meal."

Hannah's face changed slightly, and she put down her knife and fork, "I don't want to eat any more."

"Are you full?" asked Melvin.

"Yes." Hannah stood up.

Melvin looked at her figure and said, "Your belly is bigger."

Hannah paused and wondered how he could see that as her clothes were loose.

Melvin was also a bit surprised to perceive her slight changes.
