2023-06-26 10:19:13Smith stared at the doctor for a while, shocked and awestrucked by his disheartening revelation.
It wasn't had been disheartening if he was the owner of the unborn child in her.
He can't certainly be the father of the unborn child in her.
He could remember vividly that he'd never have sex with her before. They were just only husband and wife on signed paper. He sleeps on the floor while the wife, Georgina, sleep on the bed.
So how did she manage to get pregnant? Who's the father of the unborn child in her?
He couldn't ignore the pain that stung his heart as his nins reminisced on the questions he'd asked himself. Though she obviously doesn't love him, he couldn't believe she could cheat on me.
Wasn't she cheating?
The slight bang on the table brought him out of his world of thoughts. He blinked his eyes and turned to the doctor, who looked at him in confusion.
"What's wrong with you, Mr Smith?"the doctor, Lincoln, asked as he stared at Smith who was lost in thought.
"I'm fine. But please can I get the medical report? I mean the pregnancy results,"he said, and the doctor arched his eyebrows at him.
"May I know what you need it for?"the doctor asked, and he scoffed inwardly.
"I need to see it that's why I'm asking,"he banged his fist on the table which startled the doctor.
He breath out heavily as he tried to conceal the anger that seeped through him.
The doctor picked up the telephone on his table and punched some number hurriedly on it.
"Come to my office right now with miss Georgina pregnancy test result,"he said, hung up on the call and dropped the telephone on the table.
Smith played with his fingers as he await the presence of the nurse who'd been told to bring the pregnancy test result.
He can't wait to see the results. He need to confirm that she's pregnant in that way he would know if she's cheated on him.
He bit his lower lips as a knock landed at the door. "Come in,"the doctor hoarse voice came out, and a nurse walked in dressed in white hospital coat.
"Good morning sir. This is the file sir,"
"Drop it on the table and leave,"he ordered.
She bowed her head and walked away.
"I'm sure you must be surprised that she manage to get pregnant for someone like you after three years of marriage,"he said with his voice filled with sarcasm.
Though the word really hurted him, he choose to ignore it like he didn't hear it.
That's what he was forced to learn.
He'd grown up to believe that only the rich and influential people are supposed to be respected and regarded in the society.
"Can I have it?"he asked coldly.
Though the doctor was shocked by his question, he cleared his throat and said. "This is the file that you'd requested for,"
Smith smashed the paper from the doctor though he make sure it didn't tear.
PREGNANT TEST RESULT was written boldly at the front page of the papers he was holding.
His heart skipped at each line he read. Though he didn't understand much about medical terms but this is enough proof to prove to him that she's pregnant.
Tears build at the corner of his eyes as he confirmed it himself. He couldn't believe she could do such a thing to him. He loves her even though she doesn't love him. And he'd always believed that she's going to be his but this shows that she certainly can't love him.
Is it because he's poor? This question was so deep to him.
With shaking hand, he returned the papers back to the doctor. The doctor couldn't help but notice his poor looking expression turned gloomy all of a sudden.
"What's wrong with you, Mr Smith?"he turned his gaze to the doctor and sighed.
"I'm fine,"he replied coldly as he stood up from the chair.
"I'd doubt that because you don't look happy. Are you thinking of the money you'll use to celebrate the naming ceremony?"
"Madam Kate might be nice to help you since the baby is going to be her grandchild,"the doctor mocked him with a dry laughter.
Though the last statement hit him like a ton of bricks but he choose to ignore it since that was his problem at the moment.
He need to know how Georgina manage to get pregnant. Though they were married on papers but he deserve to know because he's her husband legally.
Smith clenched fist tightly, walked out of the office, and slammed the door with a loud bang.
He headed straight to her ward.
Getting to her ward, he reduced his fast and harsh pace when he heard a familiar voice in the room.
"Can't you see that I love you more than your garbage husband does?"
He gritted it his teeth as he heard the voice clearly. It was Edward Jones voice.
"I'm glad you know that I'm married to Smith so I'm not interested in having any relationship with you,"he heard her weak voice.
Her statement made him doubt the pregnancy test result that he'd to look at the paper in his left hand again.
He shoved it into his pocket.
"Why can't you leave him alone? There's nothing he has to…"
He barged in with an angry look on his face, interrupting Edward Jones.
Edward turned and scrutinized him closely. He couldn't hide how disgusted and angry he was by his presence.
Why can someone as beautiful as Georgina be the wife of a poor and wretched fellow like Smith? How unlucky.
However, he's here to claim her and no one is stopping him not even Smith.
Edward was dressed in an expensive black Armani suit which suited the black trouser he was putting on. His italian edition made shoe rocks. Everything about him smells of riches.
Smith gaze darkened as he stared at the beautiful bouquet that his wife was clinging to her chest like her life depended on it.
He couldn't help but feel jealous and sad knowing that Edward brought it for her.
He can't even afford to buy her such flower.
"Oh! He's here. The poor man who can't afford to feed his wife,"he said in a mockery tone.
"Smith,"Georgina called in a soft and sweet voice, a voice capable of melting thousand of hearts.
"Don't pay attention to him. Please try to accept me in your life and I promise to make you happy forever,"Edward said and leaned closer to her.
For a moment he forgot about the pregnancy results and got mad.
That fool even had the gut to confess his love for his wife in his presence. He was even afraid.
Maybe because he's poor, and there's nothing he can do to him.
"What are you doing with my wife, Mr Edward?"
Though he's still angry that she cheated on him, he can't allow anyone harrass her in his presence.
"And in what position are you to question me?"Edward didn't hide how angry he was.
How could this poor fellow ask him such question? If he tries to disturb him again, he won't hesitate to deal with him.
"I'm her husband so…"Smith voice suddenly trailed off as Edward laughed.
"Do you mean the husband that can't provide for his wife? I paid for her surgery, and she'll be recharged very soon,"
He was shocked to find out that Edward had paid before him. Then, why did the doctor collected the money from him?
Does that means that he was scammed?
He was sad that he was scammed. HeHow would he manage to pay the debt he's owing Mr Adam? And he can't possibly collect the money from the doctor.
He'd been slapped on the face again because he's poor.
He ignored the thought about the money and turned to Edward.
"I'd like you should excuse us because I want to have a word with my wife,"
He didn't forget to emphasize on the last word 'Wife'. He needed Edward to know his place.
"What! It's ridiculous for you to ask me to leave this place. If someone is supposed to leave then you should be the one,"he snarled
"Please excuse us,"Georgina said, and he smiled.
Smith thought she was actually talking to Edward until she said.
"Please excuse us, Smith. I want to have a talk with him,"she said, and he blinked his eyes unable to believe his ears.
She's sending him out for a rich guy , Edward.
"Huh?"his cold and hostile voice came out as a whisper because of the shock which overwhelmed him.
"She said you should leave. Do I need to call the guards to drive you out?"Edward asked, and he snorted at him.
"You'll pay for this,"he leaned closer to Edward and whisper to his ears.
He walked out of the ward in anger.
Though the threat felt meaningless to Edward, he felt somehow worried.
*
He sighed deeply as he came down from the black old and outdated bicycle. He parked it carefully at a safe spot in the parking lot.
He looked up and stared at the banner that was at the big and popular restaurant.
BIG SPICE was inscribed boldly on the banner that was at the top of the company banner.
His friend, Thompson, rushed over to him the moment he walked into the restaurant like he'd been expecting him.
"What's wrong?"he asked, and his friend hissed.
"I should be asking you that question. Where have you been?"he asked.
"I was busy sorting out something. What's the problem?" Smith could so tell that there's problem with the way his friend spoke.
"You should also find a way to sort yourself out before the boss because he's very angry,"
"I'd to cover up for you but Jackson had to ruin everything before the boss. Now, the boss wants to see you,"

Smith swallowed hard the lump that formed in his throat as he walked into the big restaurant which wasn't occupied with many customers like it used to be.He ignored the disdainful looks the customer threw at him. He can't take it to his heart since he's used to it anyways. He made his way toward his boss's office. He took a deep breath as he stared at the wooden door of his boss, Mr Peter, before him. He leaned closer to knock at the door but the loud voices coming from the office made him stop. "I need money, dad,""What! But I thought I had sent some cash the last two days. So why are you asking me for money today?"He shook his head with a sigh as he heard his boss daughter, Madelyn, in the office. It's obvious that they're at it again. "Because I've used it and I need it,"she replied nonchalantly. "What do you take me for? As your money making machine?""I don't know, dad. What is the reason why you're working?

"Huh?"He turned to her and looked at her with a raised eyebrow. He couldn't believe his ears. What!? His wife offer to massage his hand? It's really hard to believe her statement because she'd never show him care as a wife ever since they've married as husband and wife. He wouldn't believe her because it was a contract marriage. He didn't plan to but he didn't have choice since the Grandpa chose him for his first elder daughter. "So what do you think?"her soft voice brought him out of his thoughts. He looked up and swallowed the lump that formed in his throat. She is serious. He thought. Although he's yet to recover from the shock, he nodded his head affirmatively to her statement. "Yes…"though he wanted to speak firmly but his voice shook the moment he uttered the word. He can't possibly lose the chance. A massage from his wife. "Okay.

"What!"Georgia lowered her head in fear as she stared at the angry looks on their faces. Madam Kate's expression suddenly turned cold and stoic. She looked up at Georgia who averted her angry gaze. Pregnant? With who? She doesn't want to believe it was with Smith. She wouldn't dare get pregnant with him. "What's wrong with you? What are you saying?"Olivia asked as she dragged her into a place beside the hall room. "Nothing is wrong with me. I'm pregnant mum,"she muttered with her voice laced with pain and sadness. "With how? How can you get pregnant now?"her mother asked in an angry tone. She scoffed loudly and rolled her eyes at her mother. "What do you mean? I'm old enough to give birth, right?"she grunted, and her mother shook her head with a sigh. "I never said you're not old enough to give birth,""That isn't the matter right now. I need to know who is responsible for the baby,""Mum,"she groaned, trying to mask the frustrated look on her face. "Who's the father of the

Next morning, Smith yawned softly as he woke up from the slumber. He turned to the other side of the bed and sighed as his gaze met with the empty side of the bed. His wife wasn't on the bed. He wondered where she'd gone. She must have left her work, modeling agency.He whined as his wrist twitched in pain. A smile formed on his face when he remembered how Georgia massaged and caressed his wrist. Though her attitude yesterday was right, he couldn't help wishing for more. He wanted to be a real husband even though it's almost impossible. He exhaled after sniffing her whiff of perfect and intoxicating scent on the bed. His body reacted to the scent in such a way he couldn't describe. Though he wanted to forget and act like nothing happened yesterday night, he couldn't take the scene from his head. It's indeed strange to him that his wife offered to help him massage his arms and allowed him to sleep on the bed for the first time. It's a scene he couldn't take away from his head eas

What!?Smith stared at her with a surprised expression, taken aback by her action. She hugged him with tears rolling down from her eyes. His shoulder was drained with her tears but he didn't mind it. He couldn't hide the shock after she hugged him. Why wouldn't he be surprised? This was the first time he'd hugged her apart from the aisle of their wedding where they pretended to love each other. He breathed in as her fragrance hit her nose. He made use of the opportunity and hugged her back even though he was somehow reluctant. She is his wife, right? He asked himself as he began to feel guilty for hugging her back in such a state. He felt like he was taking advantage of her. He stared at her and stroked her hair for a while until she sniffed back a bead of tears and stepped backward.Though the hug wasn't long, it felt so real and good that he wish she didn't stop hugging him. "What's wrong?" He managed to ask after stretching out a white handkerchief to her. "Thanks," she mutte

Smith shook his head with a sigh as he stared at the old and outdated design of his in-law house. It's hard to believe that the second daughter of Madam Kate could be living in such a place. This is one of the reasons Georgia's mother, Olivia, is desperate to marry someone rich who can afford to buy her a good house. He shoved his hand inside his pocket as he passed through the hallway that led to their house. He wanted to turn and leave when he remembered how they humiliated him in the presence of Edward just because he couldn't visit and greet them with gifts. He shoved the thought away from his mind. He believed they might change since their daughter seems to be becoming close to him. And if they humiliated him like they used to, he would not take it to his heart since he's used to their insult and abuse all day. He suddenly stopped as he came closer to their room. He heard some familiar voices oozing from the house. He knew something could be wrong though he couldn't tell what

What! A gasp escaped from her mouth and she turned her cold gaze to her mother, Olivia. "What did you just say, Mum?" She asked in a surprised tone. She wanted to know if her mother was joking even though her mother's expression said it all. She was dead serious. "You heard me right baby girl so you should find something to do about this before it gets too late,""And besides, there's nothing you're going to lose if you choose to lose him. He's poor and useless. He's the family dog and good-for-nothing being…""That's enough mum," she growled deeply, and her mother scoffed then crossed her arms under her breasts. She is quite angry that her mother keeps throwing shade at him because he's poor even though he'd been trying his best to satisfy the family in one way or the other. His efforts are quite useless because he isn't rich and comfortable. Though she doesn't like him, she feels bad for him.

Smith gulped down into nothing as he stared at his clothes which were stained by the mud water. He bit her lower lips and narrowed his gaze to Micheal's car which drove off speedily.

Though he didn't know where the feeling was coming from, he was going to make Micheal and his family suffer most miserably. He can't manage to get to the restaurant dressed in this way. He has to return home and change. He took a deep breath and cursed Micheal inwardly. He clenched his fist with a cold look on my face.He had to cover a few kilometers before he could return. By the time he returned home, his legs burned with excruciating pain. He walked into the compound and passed through the first door where he met Georgia's parents discussing Olivia and Joseph.

“The Ember Scales dragon spirit fruits,” the spirit beast muttered in a low tone as he stared at the spirit in Smith's hand. “How did you get this fruit?” The spirit beast asked in a low tone as he stared at Smith curiously. Smith, who was trying to buy time so he could recuperate and fight back with his last strength, looked up with a fierce and unyielding look on his face. “It was simple. I got it from the trio dragons,” Smith said and the spirit beast looked up instantly.“They must have given the fruits to you willingly because there is no way you could defeat them with their combined strength.”“I, myself, am wary of them because of their energy. What have you done to make them give you those fruits and not me?” The spirit beast asked in a jealous tone as he stared at Smith contemptuously. “I earned it and it was simple. I can tell you the tricks but you don't deserve to know,” Smith said in a calm tone despite feeling excruciating pain burned through his veins. “You’d bette

“Who are you? Where are you? Come out and stop hiding,” Smith yelled with a cold look on his face as he looked around cautiously, trying to find the person whose voice spread across the place. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find the trace of the person despite feeling the presence of the person around him. “Since you won't come out of your hiding, I'll have to do it in the hard way,” he said with a cold look on his face as he walked toward the Golden box that was chained at the top of a mountain. The Golden box had an ancient crescent moon design on it. “That box must hold a lot of resources,” he thought to himself as he walked towards the mountain. Just as he attempted to near the tall mountain, he was repelled by a strong force that was filled with enormous dark energy. “This is bad,” he thought to himself and shook his head with a sigh as he staggered back to his feet and stared at the tall mountain before him. “How dare you go close to the BloodFall Sacred Mountain

The leader of the dragons flew toward Smith happily and rubbed its head against Smith's head gently. “I guess I'm done here. I kept my promise,” he said with a cold look on his face and took a deep breath after he was done. “Hey. You don't have to do that,” Smith laughed heartily as the dragon licked his body vigorously. For whatever reason, Smith felt connected to the dragons in a way that he couldn't explain. “You're doing well,” he said with a cold smile on his face. The two dead that just got revived elevated from the floor and flapped their wings graciously. They flew around Smith happily and gratefully. Smith felt fulfilled and satisfied with their presence. He stayed with the dragon for a while and they had quite a fun time together. He left the midst of the dragons that were surrounding him protectively. He approached the trio who were lying dead on the floor. He squatted low and took out the rings on their fingers.“This must be the spatial ring that Sandra was talking
Chapter 274: End Of My Bargain
The dragon looked up as soon as Smith finished his statement and stared at him with his fiery gaze longingly, hoping Smith was serious about his offer. Although some of the spirit beasts can't talk, they had the intelligence of a human so they could hear and understand human language. Smith, who had noticed the look, nodded his head affirmatively. “You have less than thirty seconds. If you don't finish them up, I won't hesitate to kill you afterward,” Smith said with a cold look on his face and the dragon looked up coldly.The trio looked up at Smith in despair. “What are you doing?”“You're going too far.”“Please stop this dragon. Why are you like this?” The trio shouted and cried out in pain as they struggled against the dragon. They kept cursing at Smith because Smith had ruined their plan. Although the dragon had entered the Berserk Mood earlier and its strength had been amplified, they would be able to survive and kill the dragon after dragging out for about twenty minutes.

“What!” They gasped out in shock with their eyes widened in shock after seeing what had just happened. The atmosphere became stiff as though nothing existed around them. The three of them stared at Smith momentarily with a shock expression on his face, unable to tell how he managed to kill the dragon with a single strike. The last dragon shivered in fear as soon as its gaze met with Smith's gaze. It could tell that Smith wasn't an ordinary person to be able to take down his companion in a single streak. Although some spirit beasts and animals couldn't talk or take human form, they're all intelligent and have the natural survival instinct. It would be seeking death to attack Smith recklessly. Smith paid no attention to him and struggled with a cold look on his face.The dragon roared out angrily as it turned to the three weak humans trembling before it. “How did you do that?”“Aren't you just in the mid stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm?” “How could you kill it with ju
Chapter 272: Ember Scales Of The Dragon Fruit 2
The enchanted forest stood a magnificent tree unlike any other. Its towering trunk was thick and gnarled, its sprawling branches covered in shimmering emerald leaves that glowed faintly under the moonlight. This was the Dragon’s Bounty, a tree of legend, said to bear the rarest of fruits—twin dragon fruits, each a marvel of nature.These fruits, known as the Ember Scales also known as the Dragon Fruit, resembled the hide of a slumbering dragon. Their outer skin was layered with hardened, overlapping scales in deep crimson and fiery gold, glistening as if embers pulsed beneath. The scales were tough to the touch, yet when peeled away, they revealed a luscious, glowing core of translucent nectar. The fruit’s flesh, infused with the energy of the tree’s ancient magic, shimmered like molten amber, releasing a sweet, intoxicating aroma that carried hints of wild honey and exotic spices.Legends spoke of those fortunate enough to taste the Ember Scales, claiming the fruit granted temporary

After they were done repelling the thunder that was directed at them, they looked around cautiously and vigilantly. Only Smith seemed calm and indifferent. “Is this tree trying to play with us?” The finely dressed young man asked with a cold look on his face. “I don't know either,” the young lady replied with a frown as she looked around with a cold look on her face. “See! Look at those creatures!” The bearded man yelled out and pointed at the mountain behind the vibrant tree. They arched their eyebrows as their gases landed on some creature in huge numbers that appeared mysteriously and stood before the tree protectively before turning to them. Those creatures had legs and hands just like humans but what they lacked was life. Their eyes were devoid of life. “This must be a puppet that is set up to protect this ancient tree,” the young lady said and they nodded their heads in agreement. “Hey. Come closer to us if you don't want to die,” the young lady added as she turned to gla

“Hello, you all.” “As you can see, you are all grouped with four people each in different places.

He's lucky. If not, you would have killed him a moment ago,” the bearded man said and Smith scoffed.Smith took a deep breath and sat down on the floor with a cold look on his face as he muttered to himself inaudibly, “
Chapter 269: A Living Dead
Before Smith was drawn into the dark vortex, he couldn't help but wonder why Sandra was acting strangely. He remembered asking her what was wrong and she claimed that it was because she was going to miss him. It seemed she was hiding something but he couldn't tell what it was. What could it be? He asked himself but he couldn't get an answer.However, he didn't doubt her. The force that came upon him from the vortex void in the space was so that he could barely move his body until he was dragged into the void which seemed bottomless and dark. Alvin, who noticed what had happened, smirked wickedly after realising that Smith was alone and Sandra wasn't going to come with them just like she told Elder Steve. He has gotten a better chance to eliminate Smith. “What's your name called? I didn't bother to ask but I have marked your face. I will make sure you die a painful and regretful death.
