Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

Chapter 298

“Lending me a hand?” Sean raised his voice and mocked. “Isn’t it the same to abort the child with drugs

as opposed to her having the abortion at the hospital? Lyla, I finally see what kind of woman you are.

Did you believe that I would forgive everything you have done just because you’ve explained yourself?”

He clenched his fists. “If you are still who you are, things might have worked out between us, but we

are no longer the same people as before.”

“What do you mean that I am no longer who I used to be?!” Lyla started sobbing and cackling

simultaneously. “How would you know that I was not like this?! Sean, when a man no longer loves or

spoils a woman, she would be left with no choice, but to do whatever she can to get what she wants.

The ‘me’ from the past is just the same as who I am right now. The only difference is that once upon a

time, I used to have your love, so I could assume the role of a simple princess. However, you are now

in love with someone else! You claim that you see my true colors, yet you are blaming the whole

situation on me?”

Lyla stopped crying, but her eyes seemed crazed. “Since you claim that I have lied to you and that you

missed me for the past two years, why did you get involved with other women? You clearly enjoyed a

hedonistic lifestyle and you indulged. However, you are looking for an excuse for yourself right now. Do

you truly believe that Myra would be oblivious to what type of man you are if you were to explain

yourself to her?”

“Is that so? Well, great. It looks like we have arrived at the same conclusion.” Sean’s eyes were pitch-

black as he hid his boiling anger. “I will get Richard to hand you the divorce papers in a few days. Voice

out your other conditions right now.”

Lyla felt like knives were stabbing her heart. She clenched her fists on her sides while answering him

viciously, “I will never agree to a divorce!” With that, she turned to leave without waiting for a reply from

him.

Tony’s expression was grave throughout the time he carried Myra up the stairs. Soon, Sebastian, Lisa

and everyone from the Hart Family learned about Myra’s fall. They made their way up the stairs, but

Tony refused to let them in.

In the room, Myra seemed to have slightly recovered, but she was still ghostly pale. He was wearing a

foul expression, but when he noticed her turning to face him, he asked gently, “Where does it hurt?

Where did you get injured during the fall?”

He looked upset, so she inhaled deeply once she noticed that. Then, she touched her belly. “For some

reason, my stomach feels unwell after arriving at the banquet today… When I fell down just now, my

belly hurt quite a bit…”

“B*stard! Open the door right now! Myra is my granddaughter-in-law. Am I not even allowed to come in

to check on her?!” Sebastian banged loudly on the door. There was an eruption from members of the

Hart Family as they voiced their concerns for Myra.

Tony scowled slightly while looking at her belly. Her belly was flat now—it wasn’t red or swollen and

nothing seemed amiss.

After a while, somebody started knocking on the door again. “Tony, it is me, Philip. I am here.”

He finally released Myra to make his way to open the door for Philip. Once the door was opened, Philip Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

entered the room whereas Sebastian and the large group of people that consisted of the Hart Family

and some guests spilled into the room.

Tony could not be bothered with them. Instead, he grabbed Philip by his shoulder to guide him to the

bed. “Myra said that she is having a stomachache. She most probably injured her belly during the fall

earlier.”

Feeling helpless, Philip was at a loss for words. “Tony, you can release me now. I am fully capable of

walking on my own.”

However, the two had already arrived at the bedside whereas Sebastian, who was behind them,

blocked everyone from moving forward. He only allowed those from the Hart Family to proceed toward

Myra.

Myra especially looked frail while lying on the bed. At the sight of this, Philip’s originally playful smile

turned into a serious frown. After a quick examination, he asked her tentatively, “Myra, did you have

your period this month?” It was slightly embarrassing to have asked such a private question in front of

such a huge crowd, but he tried to keep a straight face.

An astounded Myra shook her head after trying to recall her monthly menses. “It is late for two weeks

now.” However, I tend to have irregular periods and that is why I did not pay much attention to it.

Philip’s expression relaxed significantly. After that, he checked Myra’s wrist for her pulse before he

glanced at Tony. “Tony, if I am not mistaken, Myra is pregnant.”

“Pregnant!!!” Behind them, Sebastian shouted and echoed Philip’s explanation without waiting for a

response from Tony. Then, Sebastian pulled Philip to the side to ask sternly while maintaining a grave

expression, “Philip, are you sure you are not mistaken?”

Philip chuckled. “Old Master Hart, I am not a gynecologist, so I can only provide Myra with a provisional

diagnosis. She needs an examination in the hospital to confirm that. However, I am quite sure of the

diagnosis.”

“Philip, of course I trust your medical skills. If you say that Myra is pregnant, I am sure that she is!”

Sebastian’s voice rose steadily. He wanted the whole world to know that his granddaughter-in-law was

pregnant!

Sebastian walked past Philip to stand by Myra’s bedside, but he noticed immediately that she looked

especially pale. Hence, his face fell when he turned to ask Philip, “But, wasn’t Myra complaining of a

stomach ache? What happened to her? Did something happen to the unborn child in her womb?” He

seemed especially worried whereas Tony’s expression turned grave.

Philip noticed that the entire Hart Family had focused their attention on him, so he waved his arm in

response. “Don’t worry. Myra had some alcohol earlier, so it is expected for her to feel unwell. Besides,

she had a fall earlier and fortunately, it wasn’t a severe fall. There wasn’t any bleeding, so it shouldn’t

be serious. Nevertheless, Myra needs to nourish her body. She is rather weak and frail and it means

that her pregnancy would be hard on her.”

The rest of the group seemed relieved after hearing that.

“Myra, did you hear that?” Tony was riding on an emotional wave since he was feeling excited and

scared with an overwhelming sense of happiness. He turned to crouch down and face the shocked

Myra before he whispered, “You are pregnant… You are pregnant with our child…” His voice was

husky and it sounded inexplicably sexy and alluring.

Myra felt a kind of warmth radiating within her chest and she placed a hand over her belly in wonder.

After resting for a while, the pain in her belly gradually subsided. However, she still felt weak and tired.

Then, she gazed at her belly. Am I… truly pregnant with our child? Am I about to become a mother?

Sebastian was overjoyed and he grabbed hold of Serena. “Did you hear that? Myra has a frail body.

You have to head down to request the kitchen to prepare a bowl of chicken soup for her. From now on,

I will prepare a menu for Myra’s daily meals. Her diet has to be in accordance with the menu I prepare

for her!”

Serena was rendered speechless when she heard that, but she obeyed his orders anyway.

The guests, who were standing outside, had heard Sebastian’s announcement earlier. Therefore, they

started to congratulate the Harts too. The banquet was intended for Tony’s birthday, but in the end, it

turned out to be an introduction of the Hart Family’s granddaughter-in-law.

Myra was at a loss for words after listening to Sebastian’s remarks and she held onto Tony’s hand.

“Fortunately, I am fine after that fall.” She felt a chill down her spine. If the fall had been a bad one, I

might have lost my child.

Naturally, Old Master Walton was among the group of guests who heard the announcement.
