When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 791

Evelina herself wasn’t sure who the father of the child was—it really could go either way.

But to protect herself, she would never admit that; right now, her only chance was to insist that the baby belonged to Evander.

Quickly, Evelina clutched her stomach. “It hasn’t even been three months yet. Paternity tests don’t work before then.”

Any delay was precious to her.

If they went to the hospital for a checkup, there was a real risk her secret would be exposed.

Watching the girl try to dodge the issue, Lemira saw right through her—deep down, she suspected that even Evelina wasn't certain about the child's paternity.

If that was the case, then the baby was probably not a Langston heir.

After all, Evander himself had just mentioned his declining health and how he barely had any viable sperm left for IVF; it seemed impossible that Evelina could have conceived naturally.

The trouble was, Evander so desperately wanted a child that none of these details seemed to matter to him.

Lemira smirked and said, “Whether it’s been three months or not—only a hospital exam will tell. If the dates don’t match up, there won’t be any point in a paternity test; it’ll be obvious the child isn’t Evander’s.”

At that, Evelina was completely unnerved.

If they really went to the hospital and her lie was uncovered—what on earth would she do? She honestly didn’t know whose child she was carrying.

All of a sudden, Evander spoke up. “Let’s go to the hospital for a checkup, then.”

At this point, even Evander’s trust in Evelina was fading.

After all, she had lied to him so many times before, and she had messy entanglements with other men.

Evelina started to weep, desperately trying to avoid the hospital. “Evander, even you don’t believe me now? If that’s the case, I’d rather be dead.”
