Trapped pregnant with a Billionaire child

Letta continued to gaze at Marco witha questioning look, as if she was truly waiting for an explanation from her husband after what had happened before her. This eventually caused Marco to let out a long sigh. He then reached out his hand and tightly grasped his wife’s hand.

“He tried to poison you with the food earlier. Fortunately, I instructed Viko to come and make sure of it, and he stopped it,” Marco said, causing Letta to look at Viko who was still behind him.

“I only came because of a call from Pedro. I didn’t do much, I just prevented it,” Viko replied, bowing towards Marco.

“Yes, thank you for coming. I’m sure you hurried here after receiving the report from Pedro, right?” Marco asked, making Viko nod weakly.

“It’s my duty, and if there’s nothing else, I have to go back to the office because there are some schedules of Mr. Edward that I have to take care of,” Viko said, making Marco nod.

“Yes, you may go back. Thank you for your help,” Marco said.

“No, it’s nothing. Well then, I’ll take my leave,” Viko said, finally leaving Letta’s room. This made Letta finally look back at her husband, who had not fully explained the situation she had just experienced.

“So, can you explain everything now?” Letta asked, seemingly unafraid to inquire about what had happened.

“He was paid by Jacob to poison you,” Marco said briefly, concisely, and clearly, causing Letta’s eyes to widen. After that, she looked at her husband with an incredulous gaze.

“Jacob wants to kill me?” Letta asked, making Marco nod.

“Yes, he wants to hurt me. He seems to know how to hurt a Marco, by targeting your life,” Marco reiterated, leaving Letta still in silence.

“How did you know Jacob was going to do something? You were out with Pedro earlier,” Letta said, causing Marco to fall silent before finally smiling softly at his wife.

“Because the security detail itself warned me. He thought I couldn’t stop this because I was near him, but he didn’t know how many guards I had assigned and were on high alert. And I had already warned Viko. Well, even though I realized it late, at least Viko was still able to prevent the nurse from harming you,” Marco said, leaving Letta speechless, as if all the events that would befall her rapidly played out like a movie in her mind.

“Then, how is the nurse doing? Is she going to die?” Letta asked again, making Marco shrug indifferently.

“No matter what. Clearly, I have evidence that he was going to take someone’s life. Isn’t taking his life in return a just retribution?” Marco said, leaving Letta silent. Letta didn’t think Marco was a cruel person, as it was fitting for the nurse to receive that consequence. But still, Letta was not accustomed to someone playing with their lives. That’s what happened to the nurse earlier. Wasn’t she afraid of getting caught, and of herself being the one affected, as she was now? How unimportant must someone’s life be to some people, Letta wondered. It seemed evident to Marco as his wife started thinking about things she shouldn’t be thinking about. Marco withdrew his hand, gently caressing Letta’s face.

“Let it go, don’t dwell too much on the earlier issue. Besides, I’ve taken care of it. In the future, we just need to be careful because it’s not far-fetched that something like this might happen again,” Marco said, prompting Letta to respond to her husband’s gaze.

“I’m just worried if something bad happens to the nurse,” Letta said, causing Marco to shake his head.

“You don’t need to worry about someone who would harm you. Just focus on your health and our baby. The rest, I will handle. Besides, she also underestimated someone’s life. That means she undervalues her own life. Especially now that she’s directly dealing with a Marco. It seems from the start she knew the consequences would be severe,” Marco reiterated, making Letta let out a long sigh.

“At least, I still hope she doesn’t lose her life just like that. I also noticed the nurse was still very young. Her life must be long, or maybe she has a family or someone meaningful in her life, and it must be very hard for her to leave them,” Letta said, making Marco smile at how concerned his wife was for someone who played with her life.

“She won’t die, because the doctor and the nurse acted quickly. And after regaining consciousness, she apologized profusely to you. The punishment earlier was not something equivalent to what she deserved after playing with someone’s life, especially yours,” Marco said, making Letta look at her husband’s reassuring eyes.

“If I had eaten that food earlier, what would have happened?” Letta asked, causing Marco’s movement to pause.

“I wouldn’t have let it happen. That’s why I acted quickly,” Marco reiterated, prompting Letta to shake her head.

“No. If you couldn’t prevent it, what would you have done?” Letta asked again.

“I would have done everything in my power to save your life, no matter what,” Marco said, making Letta smile softly at her husband. Certainly, Letta no longer doubted the feelings Marco had for her. However, sometimes there was a nagging feeling in her heart, thinking about how a prominent figure like Marco Jovanka would make her life different from that of an ordinary person. It would also surely have an impact on their daughter, the daughter of a Marco Jovanka. There would be both ease and difficulty that she would face.

This made Letta finally look at Marco, who had been studying her face all this time.

“Why? Is there something on my face that you’re scrutinizing it like that?” Letta asked, making Marco shake his head.

“I’m just wondering what you’re thinking right now, as you’re looking at our daughter like that. Are you worried about her too?” Marco asked, causing Letta to nod.

“Yes, 1am worried. Besides, what mother wouldn’t be anxious about her own daughter? Everyone would be worried, wouldn’t they?” Letta said, making Marco nod.

“Yes, but don’t worry. Don’t dwell on things that trouble you like that. Whatever happens, even if it means sacrificing my own life, I will do my utmost to protect you all,” Marco said, making Letta shake her head lovingly in response to his words.

“That’s what I don’t like about you. Sacrificing yourself so easily. Don’t we just need to take care of each other?” Letta said, making Marco smile as he kissed the back of his wife’s hand.

“I know, you would do the same if something bad happened to me, wouldn’t you?” Marco said, leaving Letta silent. Of course, what Marco said was true. Although Letta thought it was excessive, she would do the same as Marco had in mind. Perhaps that was what love between them meant, Letta thought.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Let it go, don’t dwell too much on what just happened. It will surely affect your health,” Marco said, leaving Letta silent before nodding her head.

“Maybe I was just a little shocked. I’m not dwelling on it too much. Don’t worry,” Letta said, trying to reassure her husband, who still seemed concerned about his state. Letta then chose to smile reassuringly at Marco, not wanting all the troubles Marco was facing to become even heavier, when she herself couldn’t remain calm. Although Letta still felt anxious in her heart, she wouldn’t show it to Marco. Letta didn’t want Marco to constantly worry about his safety, when he had a lot of work to handle.
