Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 540: Chapter 540: There is still a 50% chance of infecting pregnant women.

Under his murderous gaze, Emilia Goldsmith gracefully sat on the sofa, sitting cross-legged, and candidly said, “I’m not short of money, and there’s nothing wrong with my brain. Who would I tell? The paparazzi? Besides, we’re partners now, and I want to rely on you for some peace and quiet. I don’t want to spend 365 or 366 days constantly on blind dates.”

Baron Lawrence’s expression softened a bit.

“But…” Emilia propped her chin, curiously leaned in, and opened the crumpled documents on the table. She glanced at the content she had already seen and asked, “What are you going to do now? Tell your girlfriend directly?”

Fearing the world wouldn’t be chaotic enough, she added, “Honestly, with your girlfriend’s personality, I don’t think she can accept this outcome.”

Baron Lawrence’s veins on the back of his hand were pulsating; of course, he knew that Enna might not be able to accept it. Even he couldn’t accept it when he saw those documents. How could Enna?

He had long known that many large families, including royal families, believed in the theory of bloodline purity before scientific advancements. This led to many cases of close relatives marrying, causing DNA inheritance interruption and often giving birth to children with deformities, premature aging, early death, or rare diseases. These children, once born, would be dealt with immediately.

As science progressed, people gradually understood why such situations occurred. The bad practice of close relatives marrying was replaced by marrying within one’s social class.

However, some families, due to generations of close relative marriage, had the possibility of producing unhealthy children hidden in their descendants’ DNA.

Even with more money, no amount of care could fix genetic defects.

Therefore, they chose to avoid this possibility as much as possible.

The Lawrence family was no exception. The family’s genetic defect was on the female’s inherited chromosome; if the child was a girl, there was a high possibility that she would inherit a rare blood clotting disorder, leading to a high risk of early death. This rare disease would also infect the mother through her blood, with a 50% chance of the mother getting infected.

To avoid this, each time a wife became four months pregnant, they would take her to the hospital for an examination. If the child was a girl, the pregnancy would be terminated.

This was also why the Lawrence family had never had a female member for a hundred years!

Baron Lawrence’s eyes were dark and deep. No wonder he had never had sisters or aunts.

He hadn’t noticed this before, thinking it was just a coincidence; now, he realized it was not a coincidence at all!

It was a choice made after weighing the pros and cons!

Compared to a child with a high probability of early death, everyone made the same choice after weighing the pros and cons. But this choice was one that Enna would definitely not be able to accept.

With a taut face, Baron Lawrence stifled a sentence after a long while, “It’s only been a little over a month; we don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl yet.”

Enna was currently less than two months pregnant. They would only know if the child was a boy or a girl in just over a month. Maybe it would be a boy, just like Bobby?

Since Bobby was a boy, it was very likely that the baby in Enna’s belly was also a boy now. If it were a boy, then none of this would matter.

“What if, what if it’s a girl? What do you plan to do?” Emilia’s beautiful face was full of curiosity.

Baron Lawrence narrowed his hawk-like eyes, adamant, “There will be no ‘what if’!”

There would be no what if, absolutely not!

Enna was definitely carrying a boy!
