For several consecutive days, she was constantly gloom-ridden.
However, the elder of the Dawson Family was very pleased upon learning she had beco a surrogate mother.
Eleanor Hollis stayed ho every day, disinterested in everything. The thought of Hugo Quinn’s child growing inside another woman’s belly made her feel uneasy, and she suddenly regretted her decision at that mont. But now, it was too late.
That afternoon, she called Hugo Quinn, but Lan Yancy inford her that Hugo had gone to the hospital to visit that woman.
Eleanor’s heart sank imdiately, and she dejectedly put down her phone.
Hugo went to the hospital to visit that woman but didn’t tell her. Did he think she’d be upset?
She contemplated at ho for a while, and finally decided to gather her things and head to the hospital.
Hugo was already at the hospital entrance. He had arranged the best room for her, where the woman would spend a long period from now on.
Sienna Jenkins had heard earlier about Hugo’s visit, but unfortunately she couldn’t put on makeup now. She took out so blush and lightly dabbed it on her face, then anxiously awaited Hugo’s arrival.
She felt like an ancient concubine, awaiting the emperor’s favor.
It wasn’t long before the door opened and Hugo appeared at the entrance.
Elation flashed in Sienna’s eyes, and her hands, hidden under the blanket, slowly clenched.
"Is your health okay?"
Hugo had looked at the woman’s photos beforehand, but the real her appeared even younger than in the pictures.
"Yes, very well."
Sienna quivered as she spoke, curving her lips into a smile.
Hugo sat beside her, his gaze sweeping over her belly.
Sienna’s body went stiff instantly; she had an illusion that she was Hugo’s wife, carrying their child inside her.
This illusion made her so happy that she was even unwilling to wake up.
"You look quite young; I thought you were at least twenty-two."
Sienna lifted her head, she was only nineteen, but she willingly took on this role.
Hugo and her didn’t have much to talk about since they truly weren’t familiar with each other.
He sat for a while, then intended to leave when he received Eleanor Hollis’s call, saying she was already at the entrance.
Gentleness instantly appeared on Hugo’s face, "I’ll co down to et you; take it slow with your health being unwell."
The in vitro fertilization took a heavy toll on Eleanor’s body, and she still hadn’t fully recovered.
Hugo stood up and imdiately went downstairs.
Sienna watched his departing figure, her eyes gradually falling.
It must have been Eleanor who arrived. Strangely, even knowing that Eleanor was her benefactor, Sienna didn’t want to see her at all at this mont. She selfishly wished for more ti to spend with Hugo.
Moreover, just monts ago, she saw that gentleness on Hugo’s face, hoping one day this gentleness could be directed at her.
It must be said that she and her brother were indeed in similar situations.
The voices of Eleanor Hollis and Hugo Quinn echoed down the corridor, both of them were here.
Sienna masked the look in her eyes, smiling as she looked towards them.
Eleanor didn’t expect the surrogate would be so young, but she quickly adjusted her mindset.
"Sienna, is your health alright? If you experience any adverse reactions, be sure to inform the doctor."
She had just spoken with the doctor and learned the girl’s na.
But probably due to Miles Jenkins, she had so aversion to this surna.
"Thank you for your concern, I’m fine."
She was set to receive a large sum as compensation from surrogacy, but she hadn’t pursued it for the money.
Eleanor and Hugo sat in the hospital room for a while, feeling an odd atmosphere enveloping them. As the child’s mother, it was strange that all she needed to provide was an egg.
After half an hour, the couple stood up to leave.
Sienna hesitated, wanting to ask Hugo when he would visit next, but couldn’t voice it since Eleanor was nearby.
Hugo hugged Eleanor as they reached downstairs, gently brushing back her hair next to her ear.
"Do you regret this a bit? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have co here. Eleanor, I told you before to think it through."
Eleanor pursed her lips; this man could precisely guess all of her emotions.
She truly regretted it.
"Regretting doesn’t help anymore; I should have listened to you earlier. Now there’s a child, once she’s born, we’ll give Sienna a sum of money, and this transaction will end. Maybe by then, I’ll feel a little better."
Hugo pressed his lips without speaking; he didn’t agree with Eleanor’s notion.
From the mont he t Eleanor, he knew that fundantally, she was a very traditional person. The child’s birth and upbringing would beco a thorn in her heart, detrintal to both her and the child.
However, Eleanor evidently hadn’t realized this issue at the mont.
Hugo sighed and assisted her into the car.
Once they left, silence fell inside the hospital room.
Sienna stared blankly at the door, imagining Hugo’s earlier entrance, a hint of sweetness arose in her heart.
"Sienna."
Miles Jenkins suddenly appeared at the door with many gifts.
"Brother."
Sienna obediently greeted, a slight gleam in her eyes. Her brother was now a star; she would be able to see his works on TV in the future.
"I heard Hugo visited you. How was it, any regrets?"
Miles seated himself beside her, quietly peeling her a fruit.
Sienna lifted her head; she knew the mont she saw Hugo, she didn’t regret anything at all.
"Actually, you’ve only t Hugo once, Sienna, are you sure you truly love him? You’re too young to understand what love is."
Hugo was very handso; perhaps it was just a fleeting infatuation. Such feelings, how long could they last?
"Brother, you don’t understand that feeling. After eting him, all the n I’ve seen before seed so mundane and ordinary. Many things could be determined at a glance. I don’t deny that I’m attracted to looks, but Hugo’s excellence is known to everyone. I want a man like him."
In front of her own brother, she finally stopped pretending and said what she dared not speak before.
"Yet Hugo doesn’t want you."
Miles didn’t encourage her; rather, he dampened her enthusiasm.
"Eleanor doesn’t like you either, but you haven’t given up, right? Sotis liking soone just makes no sense."
Miles opened his mouth but couldn’t utter anything.
How could he give up on Eleanor? Despite the things she had done to hurt him, he still desperately wanted her.
"Brother, Eleanor is yours, and Hugo is mine. If we work hard, we can achieve our desires."
Sienna’s eyes sparkled, she suddenly reached out and touched her belly.
"Thinking of the child in her womb makes so excited. Brother, I feel so happy."
