I'm Pregnant, But the Baby Is Not My Boyfriend's

I accidentally overheard my boyfriend's innermost thoughts.

My boyfriend has cancer and is emotionally blackmailing me to have his child before he dies.

Later, I find out I'm pregnant, but the child isn't his!

***

I unexpectedly gained a system that allows me to hear people's most genuine thoughts. So when Ethan came to me with his medical test results, crying inconsolably, I knew he was lying!

On the surface, he was grief-stricken, but in his mind, he was cheerfully singing and praising his own acting skills.

I stared at him, utterly perplexed as to why he would fake a late-stage stomach cancer test result to deceive me. But the next moment, I understood the reason.

"Emma, can you have a child for me?" he asked urgently, grabbing my shoulders before I could react.

"My family has only one heir. If I die, my parents will be devastated. If we have a child, it will give them and you something to remember me by. You won't refuse me, will you?"

Immediately, a cold laugh echoed in his mind.

"Hmph, if that person hadn't taken a liking to you, do you think I'd go to all this trouble to act with you?"

That person? Who was he talking about?

What was Ethan hiding from me? Thinking this, I calmly spoke up.

"Ethan, calm down first. Your priority now is to get treatment. I know a cancer specialist. I'll help you make an appointment. You're so young, there must be a way."

But Ethan didn't listen to me at all. He suddenly pushed me.

"I see, you don't really love me. As soon as you hear I'm dying, you want to abandon me, don't you? Women are so realistic after all."

He looked at me matter-of-factly, his face twisted with malice, barely concealing his inner guilt.

"Go see a doctor with you? That would blow my cover! No, that person's deadline is almost up. If I don't bring this woman to them soon, I'm in trouble. Emma, don't blame me. If you must blame someone, blame your bad luck for being noticed by him!"

I took a deep breath and clenched my fists tightly, as if that could suppress my hatred.

Only now did I have to admit that I, Emma Johnson, a top student from the Law School, had been deceived by a man I met through a blind date!

Ethan was an excellent single man introduced to me by my cousin. Reportedly, he was an engineer at a foreign company, with an annual salary of millions. Although he was from out of town, he had a car and house here. Under my mother's constant nagging, I started interacting with him.

To be fair, Ethan had a refined appearance and was very thoughtful. But strangely, in the six months we'd been together, he had never mentioned his family and never made excessive demands. After each date, he promptly drove me home.

I thought he was a very traditional person, and my impression of him improved greatly.

But just now, he completely shattered my illusion. It turns out he approached me with this disgusting goal. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite.

Ethan, you probably forgot that people who study law are not to be trifled with!

Thinking of the person behind him, I frowned and patiently said to him.

"Have you considered me in asking me to have your child? We haven't met our parents and aren't married. Do you want my child to be born with the stigma of being illegitimate? Ethan, if you're sick, focus on getting treatment. When you've calmed down, we'll talk again!"

Before he could reply, I prepared to leave. But Ethan rushed up and hugged me.

"Emma, don't leave me, I was wrong. Please, for the sake of me being close to death, don't abandon me. You don't even have to take care of the child. My parents have a car, house, and pension. They can raise him. Emma, please!"

At the same time, his inner voice echoed in my ears.

"Resist, the more you resist, the better the effect. Emma, since you refused to take the easy way, don't blame me!"

His manic expression was more than I could bear. I turned and slapped him. He froze, seemingly unaware of why I suddenly changed.

I didn't want to get entangled with him anymore. I quickly left, taking out my phone to investigate his information!

But what I didn't expect was that all this had been filmed and maliciously edited, then posted online!

In the video, Ethan clung to me, crying bitterly, begging me not to leave him. But I said he was sick, and after I turned to leave, Ethan standing there was accompanied by sad background music!

Seizing the momentum, Ethan even started a live broadcast to create a sympathetic persona.

Suddenly, the hot search was full of related keywords:

#Boyfriend with cancer abandoned by girlfriend#

#Female version of Traitor Tom#

#Cancer patient is an only child#

The comments were all cursing me and morally blackmailing me.

"How disgusting, as soon as her boyfriend got sick, she turned against him. What a selfish person!"

"It's normal for him to want a child. No parent wants to bury their child. And I think the boy's family is pretty well-off."

"I'd say this girl never loved her boyfriend at all. Look at her expression when she heard her boyfriend had cancer, like someone owed her millions."

"Yeah, even if she didn't want to, she shouldn't have done this. What kind of person is she?"

"Having a child, what's the problem? This is the hope of a family!"

I sat in the office, looking at this farce unfolding on my phone, getting more and more out of control!

"Knock knock knock," the office door was knocked, then pushed open.

I looked up at the newcomer and smiled widely.

"Kyle, you're here!"
