I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 251: Pregnancy Scandal

Carl was settling Summer in her room and packing her luggage for the troop when Tata suddenly ran over, panting, "Dad, the banquet hall has been sealed off, and the Imperial Court’s entrances and exits are sealed too. Uncle Leberli has detained everyone."

Carl continued his actions without pause, seemingly unconcerned, "Let it be sealed. If it’s sealed, so much the better; your sister won’t be able to leave."

Summer stamped her foot in dissatisfaction beside him, "You weren’t talking like this in front of Mom just now!"

Tata held his side, still trying to catch his breath, urgently said, "No, it’s not that, that’s not important, oh..."

Carl frowned at him, feeling that no matter how he looked at his son, he was underwhelming. What kind of Beastman would be panting after running just a short distance? He must be lacking in vigor.

After catching his breath, Tata’s cheeks were covered in sweat as he said, "It’s Mom, I heard the guards say that she fainted, so Uncle Leberli sealed... Dad! You..."

Before he could finish, Carl had already left. Summer and Tata looked at the closed black hole in front of them, then at each other in bewilderment.

"Bro, what’s wrong with Mom? Can we go see her?"

Tata said, "I’m not too sure myself, I was hoping that Dad would use Breakthrough to let us go in and see Mom, why is he always so impatient?" freёnovelkiss.com

When Carl appeared in the palace, he saw Zong Fang and Anubis speaking about something, but he had no interest in their conversation and strode to Qiao Suisui’s bedside, bending over to gently touch the top of her hair.

Carl saw her breathing shallowly, as if in a dream, and looked up uncertainly to ask, "What happened?"

Zong Fang replied, "We’ve examined her, there are no problems except..." His glance shifted to the side, and he said to Anubis, "You tell him."

Carl’s brows furrowed as he looked at Anubis.

Anubis kept a serious face, and with slight bowing of his head as if he had erred, he said slowly, "She’s pregnant. With my child."

Without those last two words, it might have been better; they only fueled Carl’s anger.

"You have the nerve to say that?"

What no one knew was that of all the men, Carl disliked Anubis the most.

He could accept Ruka, Zong Fang, and even the sharp exchanges with Leberli, but he’d always harbored animosity towards Anubis.

Carl had even closely watched him during his time with the Scavenger.

What kind of life had this young man lived before meeting Qiao Suisui? He was like a Rat that everyone chased, hiding here and there every day to avoid being killed. Whether or not it was his fault, Carl just felt that he wasn’t capable of making Suisui happy.

Later, when Carl learned that he and Suisui had become involved behind his back, he suppressed his dissatisfaction, not wanting to make Suisui feel torn between them.

She cleared his name, contended with the Federation on his behalf, helped him establish the political power of the Wandering Alliance, and helped him secure his position step by step. Carl felt extremely imbalanced inside and had once exploded in anger at her for her sacrifices for Anubis, of course, he later felt as if he had belittled himself for spoiling his relationship with her over a man, so then he started to coax and plead for reconciliation.

All of this was largely unknown to Qiao Suisui because if Carl wanted to hide his feelings, very few could discern them.

She probably thought to this day that their previous argument was because she went out to clear her head with Leberli without telling him.

At this moment, Carl’s gaze towards Anubis could no longer be hidden.

The atmosphere became suddenly tense.

Anubis accepted Carl’s sharp gaze courageously, saying, "Suisui wants this child, and I..." he lifted his head, his eyes resolute, "I want it too."

The accusatory words got caught in Carl’s throat, leaving him feeling choked.

Nonchalantly, Zong Fang inquired, "Do you know how many pups she’s carrying this litter?"

Anubis was stunned, "Our kind usually have two, but it’s fine, even if it’s one, I will cherish him dearly. The gender doesn’t matter, whether it’s female or male..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zong Fang placed the report in front of his face.

Anubis stared at the report in front of him, every word familiar but collectively making no sense—

Upon examination, the mother is pregnant with ten pups, species: Wolf Beastman, pureblood gene probability 99%.

Anubis staggered backward, dazed. Carl, witnessing both of their reactions, snatched the report and was also stunned on the spot.

"It was already difficult for her when she gave birth to Bellini and the others..." Worry showed on Carl’s face.

At that moment, Anubis finally understood Zong Fang’s feelings and what he was truly worried about.

Ten... could it lead to a difficult birth...

She would be so tired during the pregnancy, wouldn’t she...

She...

Anubis’s lack of experience in this area was so profound that he couldn’t even think of the more serious consequences that could occur. Looking at Zong Fang with tearful eyes, he asked tremblingly, "Will it be very dangerous?"

"Yes, extremely dangerous."

Anubis could almost not hear his own heartbeat, filled with regret at that moment, thinking he shouldn’t have lost control that day.

"But she will be okay," Zong Fang said, looking at the person sleeping peacefully on the bed, his eyes filled with deep love.

The three men stood guard by Qiao Suisui’s side until almost dawn when Ruka and Leberli finally finished handling their matters and came together.

Zong Fang told the two about Qiao Suisui’s condition and her pregnancy. Leberli grabbed Anubis by the collar, ready to start a fight, but Ruka stopped him.

Ruka said, "This was Suisui’s choice. Are you questioning her ability to make a wise choice, or do you doubt she can bear the consequences of her choice?"

After he spoke, they all fell silent.

Ruka knew her well; if she hadn’t wanted to be pregnant, she would not have been. After Harvis and the others, he had also been intimate with her many times, but she never got pregnant with his child again.

The man had already taken off his suit jacket, the sleeves of his shirt casually rolled up to his elbows, making him appear less cold and more approachable.

He sat by Qiao Suisui’s bed, gently picked up her hand, and tenderly caressed her knuckles and wrist bones.

Though he hadn’t had more children with her, he was always grateful for Harvis and the others she gave him, like a gift.

So Ruka thought, maybe Suisui was showing her love for Anubis in this manner.

Reflecting on this, he looked up at the young man standing disconsolately in the corner and said, "What you need to do now is to learn to be a good father. Don’t let her down."

As if inspired, Anubis nodded firmly.

Qiao Suisui didn’t wake up until the next day.

She had a very long, very long dream.

In the dream, Anubis went to the Southern Battlefield to retrieve the recorder and then joined forces with his father to expose the frame-up against the Rebel Army. As expected, Zong Yan rose to power, a man quite adept at pursuing benefits and avoiding harm, with a keen insight into human nature; thus, knowing he could no longer mercilessly pursue the Rebel Army because that would lead to mutual destruction with Anubis and his faction, he would lose everything easily gained, so he negotiated for 18 hours with Dante Connor at the third-party camp—the Freedom Alliance.

After much back-and-forth, the outcome of the negotiations was this: the Federation would rescind all accusations and manhunts against the Rebel Army and all related personnel, and Dante Connor and his son Anubis Connor could no longer pursue any past crimes of the Federation in any form.

In all this, Zong Fang and Qiao Suisui played a part. Initially, Dante planned to kill Zong Yan in retaliation for his dead comrades, but Anubis insisted on the belief that "no water is too clear of fish," advocating for compromise to allow for future developments. Eventually, he commanded his father to retire as the Wolf King, making himself the true leader of the Rebel Army.

And Carl, using evidence Qiao Suisui left in the Light Computer as leverage, peacefully exited the Scavengers and regained his freedom. More than once, he tried to recall that episode, but no matter how much he investigated or reminisced, he could never figure out who left such explosive and incriminating evidence in his hands.
