Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 515 Hire A Womb?(Chapter Preview)

The maids came running back with the physician who looked worried too.

"My lord, shall we?" Leo turned to look at the door and nodded vehemently as he stood straighter.

The physician came in and checked Evan with a look of dread in his eyes when he noticed her pale face.

He held her wrist and checked her pulse for a minute and then checked her eyes. His hands touched her abdomen and Leo frowned but kept his expressions in check.

"What had happened to her???" he could not keep his silence anymore when the man was not speaking a word.

"That… I have told the lady to not exert her body much and do not let her emotions sway too much.

Her body has not been in a good condition for the past two months since she had conceived. She had mostly taken care of every instruction. But now.. I can see what had happened." he said with a grim tone and Leo flushed.

Evan was still wrapped on a bedsheet like a dumpling while his clothes were disheveled. Anyone can see they have been pretty wild with the scratch marks on her body and the condition of the room.

He was so worried that he had not picked up her fallen clothes all over the room.

While lowering his head, he was mulling over the words of the physician when a jolt of electricity hit over his body and he snapped his head back to the physician who had started mixing some herbs to make medicine.

"What did you say, Evan.. she CONCEIVED!!!" His tone was so loud and high pitched but the shock was clear in his dark eyes that was filled with disbelief when the physician frowned.

"The lady had still not told you? I have told her to clear it from you. But she was too adamant.

Yes, it has been around 2 months since the lady has been pregnant. But her pregnancy is not going smoothly. Her womb is weak and her child is taking too much energy from her body that is leaving her exhausted all the time.

If it continued, I am worried, she would not have enough strength to carry the child and we would only be able to save one of them.

I have asked her to choose carefully. If she wants.. We can give her the required medicines so that the fetus would be..

I hope you understand what i mean, my lord.'' The joy and pride that had started to fill his chest making him the happiest person of the empire left him and he looked no less than a deflated balloon.

His eyes were softening with the thought that he was going to be a father. A tear fell out of his eyes.

"Then.. What are you waiting for? Kill the baby. We can not harm her. There would be many chances for her to be a mother in the future. We have only been married recently and I am not in a hurry to be a father.`` The words came out through so much difficulty that he felt his lungs did not have an ounce of oxygen left.

His body started to freeze yet the pain was so much. It would be a lie if he would say that it did not matter if he would lose this child. No! The pain was like burning hell!

Yet he could not lose her. She was much more precious than the happiness of having a child. If she was not prepared, then let it. She is only 19. They would get a lot more chances.

? Yes, he would wait for a year and two before trying again. And he would make sure that she would be much more healthy.

He would feed her daily with his own hands and force her to eat all those nutritious things.

"My lord! I do not want to keep you in the dark." the physician who was preparing the medicine and have given time to Leo to sort out his thoughts spoke again.,

"If she gave up on this child. Her womb only would be weaker due to the effect of medicine and her next pregnancy would be more difficult.

It would either kill her in mid pregnancy next time or the child would not survive past six month in her womb."

"Thump" all the hopes in his heart were crushed like a beast had trampled him below its feet.

He started to feel suffocating. It was so damn painful. But the thought that Evan was keeping all this from him and facing such harsh realities alone, hurt him further.

Just how unreliable and useless he was in her eyes that she did not share her pain with him. If he was feeling so much pain, just how much she was suffering each day!

He saw the physician holding on to the medicine and then holding her head..

"I will do it!" He snatched the medicine from the physician and held her head. Slowly placing it on his lap, he fed her medicine slowly, making sure that it did not spill or she did not have difficulty in having it.

Physician stared at the crumbling face of the man. Since childhood, he had severed this family and seen Leo when he was just a few days old.

The boy has always been cold and blank without any emotion as if the world owes him a fortune.

He was only showing emotions in the presence of his mother but now.. The very man was crying and panicking and right now, he looked heartbroken and vulnerable.

He could see how much effort Leo was putting in behaving normally while his eyes looked lost and his face… the physician closed his eyes as he felt bad for the couple. 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎

First he had seen how Evan's bright eyes dimmed and now Leo was looking shattered too. 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

If only he can help the couple..

"My lord, pardon for speaking out of the line, but you can have concubines or…. Hire the womb of a woman."
