Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1007: Leah Thorne Is Pregnant

Leah, who was suddenly kissed, held her breath and stared blankly at him.

Justin Xavier didn’t close his eyes either. He looked at her misty black eyes and kissed her softly, his thin lips lightly touching her red lips. Seeing she had no strong objection, he gently closed his handsome eyes and deepened the kiss.

Leah felt she hadn’t seen him for a long time. Apart from their separation when she was 18, this was the longest yet. His embrace and his kiss... still felt so familiar.

This familiarity was deep in her bones.

At this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside the door. The young nurse said anxiously, "Professor Sterling, when I went in just now, I found Miss Thorne was missing..."

Serena Sterling’s light voice came through swiftly, "Don’t panic, I’ll go in and check."

The next second, the ward door was pushed open, and Serena appeared by the door.

Leah immediately lifted her small hand to Justin Xavier’s chest and pushed him away.

Justin furrowed his brows slightly, then turned to look at Serena Sterling by the door, his eyes filled with displeasure at being disturbed.

Serena was also stunned by the door. She thought she wouldn’t see anything, so why did she get a mouthful of PDA?

"Sorry, I didn’t see anything, you guys continue." With that, Serena closed the door and left.

Outside the door, Serena’s voice came through, speaking to the young nurse, "It’s okay, Miss Thorne is inside."

Leah’s pale face flushed slightly after being caught by her best friend. "Serena, wait a moment."

Leah wanted to get up.

But Justin Xavier held her back, "Where are you going?"

"I need to find Serena..."

"Why do I suddenly feel like a third wheel between you and Serena Sterling?"

Leah paused, not understanding, "What do you mean?"

"Isn’t it obvious? That’s how the novels write it. Serena Sterling caught us kissing, and you drop everything to chase after her, maybe even explaining that what she saw wasn’t what it seemed. Doesn’t that make me the one ruining your relationship?"

"..." Leah was completely speechless. His line of thinking was indeed novel.

At this moment, Justin Xavier forcefully pulled her back onto the bed, then lay beside her, wrapping his strong arm around her soft waist, and closed his eyes, "Leah, stay and nap with me for a bit."

Leah looked at him. His handsome face was very pale, most likely he came to find her as soon as he woke up, and there were dark circles under his eyes, showing how tired he was.

"Justin Xavier, I hurt you, and caused your family to fracture. We’re destined not to be together," Leah whispered.

Justin Xavier curled his thin lips and suddenly asked, "Have you let go?"

"What?"

"You said it yourself, you hurt me, which cancels out our child between us. The Xavier family harmed the Thorne family, but now you’ve avenged them too, so aren’t we even?"

Leah lowered her lashes, not speaking.

Justin Xavier’s thin lips landed on her forehead, "Leah, stop causing trouble, stay by my side, be my Mrs. Xavier peacefully."

"Leah, let it all go, let’s start anew."

Leah’s heart suddenly felt turbulent because she had only thought of revenge before, never considering being with him after that pursuit.

Could they really be together again?

Could they truly have a fresh start?

The past was blood-stained wounds, her heart was broken in many places, she long lost the courage to love.

Leah’s fingertips fell on her disfigured right cheek, "Looking like this now, you don’t mind? I remember you, Justin Xavier, as a regular guy who only liked beautiful women, the prettier the better."

Justin Xavier reached out, pinched her small face, "You little clown, although you’ve become ugly, you’re safer at home. This way you won’t attract other men."

"..." Leah thought he would say something like "no, you’ll always be the most beautiful in my eyes," truly this man never took the usual path, never disappointed her expectations.

Leah kicked him again, "Get lost!"

Justin Xavier laughed and hugged her tighter, "Mrs. Xavier, this request cannot be granted by your husband."

...

When Leah opened her eyes, it was already the next morning, and Justin Xavier was gone.

He had been in a coma for a long time, plus with the Xavier family’s issues, there were surely many things waiting for him to handle.

Leah got up and opened the ward door to get some fresh air.

At this moment, passersby in the corridor whispered when they saw her right cheek,

"Look, her right cheek is so ugly, it’s disfigured."

"You don’t know, do you? She’s Leah Thorne, the famous celebrity in the entertainment circle. Today’s hot search exploded because of Leah Thorne’s disfigurement, even crashing browsers temporarily."

"What a pity, this face that could enchant nations just got ruined like that."

Leah showed no expression, not caring about these strange looks.

Just then, Serena Sterling came, "Leah, it’s enough to get some air, quickly go back to the ward to rest."

Leah nodded obediently, "Okay."

The two returned to the ward, and Serena Sterling opened the thermos, pouring the pork rib soup into a small bowl, "Leah, don’t you mind the scar on your face anymore?"

Leah smiled gently, "If I said I did, would the scar on my face disappear?"

"Leah, your attitude today is completely different from yesterday’s. Looks like Justin Xavier’s arrival healed you instantly," Serena Sterling teased.

Leah didn’t say anything, she hadn’t figured out her future with Justin Xavier yet.

Serena Sterling handed over the small spoon, "Leah, have some pork rib soup first, it’s not greasy."

Leah took the spoon. She intended to have some soup, but then she caught a whiff of the greasy smell, and immediately felt nauseated.

Leah quickly set down the spoon, bowing her head and pressing her hand to her chest, retching a couple of times.

"Leah, what’s wrong?" Serena Sterling patted Leah’s back.

Leah’s lashes trembled; she suddenly thought of something—her period seemed... delayed...

She considered a possibility.

But, it shouldn’t be.

Impossible.

Leah promptly denied the thought in her mind, "Serena, I’m fine."

As if to prove something, Leah picked up the spoon again, forcing herself to take a couple of sips of the soup.

Once more, the nausea swept over her, and Leah jumped off the bed, running to the shower to throw up.

She vomited up all the soup she’d just drunk; having eaten nothing today, she was already throwing up bile, leaving her head spinning.

Leah’s face turned very pale. She went to the washbasin, turned on the cold water, and washed her face.

"Leah..." Serena Sterling’s voice came, sounding shocked, "Leah, are you... pregnant?"

Could she be pregnant...

Leah had thought of this possibility earlier.
