Chapter 276 The Newborn
"This is the principle of the Gu Group. Moore, don't let me down.
I'll give you three days. If you can't solve the crisis by that time, then I'll have to think about restoring your position to Kerr." Jack wanted to give Moore a stern warning.
Then he hung up the phone without another word, giving Moore no chance to respond.
When he heard the beeping sound on his phone, Moore threw it at the wall in front of him. The phone was smashed to pieces in an instant.
"FUCK!" No one regarded him as a real member of the family. He was esteemed only for what he could do for the business. Now that they found that he had only brought losses to the Gu Group, they wanted to kick him out.
"No way!" Gritting his teeth, Moore thought of a person. He walked to his desk and picked up his phone, then he dialed Sunny's number.
Sunny sat comfortably in the sun on a rocking chair.
She held the phone to her ear. Her hand was on her belly. She was already seven months into her pregnancy. "What's up?"
"How's the baby?" Moore hadn't forgotten that it was the day for Sunny's prenatal checkup. For her convenience, he had installed medical equipment and arranged a medical team in the villa where Sunny lived.
A faint smile played at the corners of Sunny's mouth. "I just had an examination. Dr. Chen said that the baby is doing well and is fully developed." As time went by, Sunny began to accept the baby.
It was her baby, after all, and her only hope of marrying into the Gu family.
"I'll be right there." Moore took his car key and left the office. On the way, he deliberately parked his car in front of a restaurant, and went into another car to avoid being followed.
Every time Moore went to Sunny's villa, he took great precautions.
He parked his car in the underground garage of the villa. Moore went straight into the living room, where Sunny was doing fetal education for the baby in her belly. She was telling fairy tales to the baby, and her tone was very soft.
Moore's eyes darkened. "You seem to be in a good mood?" He went to her and sat down beside her. He started to caress her bulging belly, but Sunny pushed him away.
"He is my son. Why can't I touch him?" Moore had already been angry before he came there, but his anger increased when Sunny pushed him away.
Sunny stared at him and warned, "Moore, you'd better be careful. I can join the Gu family only if I'm pregnant with Kerr's child. And if I can't succeed in doing that, then your plans won't go smoothly."
In the past few months, Sunny had a clear idea. If Moore wanted to use her as a pawn, why shouldn't she make use of him to achieve her own aims?
"Go smoothly? You haven't heard the news yet, have you? Kerr will be back soon. Don't you think he will bring Nicole with him? After all, the child in Nicole's belly will come before yours. She may give birth to a boy for Kerr.
As for the imposter in your belly, do you think Kerr will choose yours, or Nicole's?" Moore stood up and went to the infirmary in the villa.
Dr. Chen stayed there all day and all night to take care of Sunny.
Moore pushed open the door of the infirmary. Dr. Chen stood up when he saw Moore coming in. He handed a piece of paper to Moore and said, "Mr. Gu, this is the result of Miss He's examination.
Both the child and Miss He are healthy. Mr. Gu, you can rest assured." After a moment of hesitation, Moore opened his mouth.
"I have a question. Is it possible to induce the child to be born early?" Moore knew it was a dangerous thing, but he was desperate.
Suspecting that Moore did not have an innocent reason for going there, Sunny followed him in secret. When she heard what he said, she stood out with surprise. "What did you say?"
She couldn't believe her own ears. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Moore glanced at Sunny and said, "You're not stupid, are you? Do you really want to wait until Nicole gives birth to her baby? How can you be sure that the Gu family won't accept her for the sake of her child?
Do you think there will be a place for you in the Gu family on that day?"
Moore tried to make Sunny understand the likely course of events.
Moore's words forced Sunny to consider the situation deeply. She put her hand on her belly, closed her eyes and walked up to Dr. Chen. "Dr. Chen, the baby is already seven months old. I think you can give me a C-section, right?"
In recent days, Sunny had gathered a lot of information. She knew that the baby was fully developed at seven months, and that if it left the mother, it could probably survive.
Dr. Chen nodded to her with a frown. "Indeed it's possible to do a C-section and take the baby out in advance. But the baby will be weak. He might stay in the incubator for a while."
Under normal circumstances, no one would choose to do that unnecessarily.
But apparently, Sunny had special circumstances.
"Help me take the baby out. You said it was a boy." Two months ago, they learned that it was a boy.
Dr. Chen glanced at Moore, who stood in silence. As he saw him nod, he said, "Okay, I'll get ready now. I'll perform the surgery tonight." Dr. Chen couldn't help sighing to himself.
With her eyes closed, Sunny nodded and got everything ready. As she lay on the operating table and felt the needle of the anesthetic piercing her body, she closed her eyes.
Waiting at the door of the operating room, Moore couldn't suppress a nervous shiver. It was only then that he realized that the child had something to do with him.
The surgery went forward smoothly. Dr. Chen asked his assistant to put the baby in the incubator and pushed it out. Wearing a mask, the nurse looked at Moore with a mixture of emotions.
However, Moore didn't notice.
"Dr. Chen told us to set your mind at ease. The baby is very healthy, but a little weak. He needs to remain in the incubator for a period of time."
Moore nodded his head and looked at the little baby through the glass. Since he was still only seven months old, he was very small.
It occurred to Moore that he could end that fragile life with the slightest effort.
