My Mother Killed Me For Her Stepdaughter novel Chapter 19

Lucy clung to Evelynn's announcement as if it were her last hope.

"Mr. Torres, did you hear that? My daughter is carrying the Torres family's blood—a son!"

"The child is innocent. No matter how ruthless you are, you can't deny your own son, right?"

If Evelynn was truly pregnant, the law would protect her, and she couldn't be jailed.

To my surprise, after a hospital checkup that same day, it was confirmed—Evelynn really was pregnant.

What shocked me more was my father's reaction. He didn't show any joy, not even a flicker of emotion. Instead, his face darkened ominously.

"What's wrong, Dad?" I asked, confused.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally confessed,

"Daughter, this child cannot be mine."

"Whenever Evelynn and I… did adult things, I always took proper precautions. I would never allow anyone to use a so-called son to threaten your position in the Torres family."

My father was a cautious man, and he never lied to me. Closing my eyes, I realized there was only one explanation: Evelynn hadn't just been seeing my father; she must have been involved with other men during their relationship.

"Hah! Evelynn, if the child you're carrying is mine, I'll respect whatever decision you make. But if it isn't, I'll personally ensure your entire family ends up behind bars," my father said coldly before walking away.

Later, he took me to consult a top overseas plastic surgery clinic. They assured us that the scars on my face could be healed with skin grafts.

On the fifth day, my father reappeared in front of me.

The look on his face told me everything I needed to know.

I silently thanked fate that Evelynn had never managed to set foot in our home. If she had, my mother would never have found peace, even in the afterlife.

"Did they find out about the child?" I asked casually.

My father simply patted my head and said,

"It's all over now. Don't worry anymore."
