Chapter 437 - 437: The Best Feeling in the World

A few minutes after Charles left Erick and Elle in the ward, Elle woke up. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Erick looking at her tenderly with his loving eyes.

Elle was a little bit surprised when she saw him. As far as she could remember, she and Charles were going back to her office when suddenly she felt dizzy and her vision became blurry. Before she could inform Charles, she immediately collapsed.

"Wifey, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Are you hurt? How do you feel? " Erick asked her with his concerned voice.

"I'm alright now. Are we in the hospital? Is Charles the one who informed you? Where is he?" Elle asked Erick when she noticed that Charles was not around. She could tell that she was in the hospital after seeing the IV drip connected to her left arm.

Erick pouted after hearing her, "You're hubby is in front of you but still, you are looking for another guy?"

Elle sat up and giggled when she saw Erick's expression. " Seriously, Erick? Are you jealous just because of that?"

Erick assisted her and fixed the bed so that she could lean on it comfortably. He was thinking that he should be more extra gentle and careful when taking care of her since Elle was now carrying another life inside her w.o.m.b.

Erick just chuckled because of her last remarks. He sat down beside her and gathered her into his arms, hugging her.

"Did I make you worry that much again, hubby?" Elle asked him, there was a hint of guilt in her voice.

"It's already given. You're my wife, of course, it's natural to worry too much if something unexpected happens to you. I know you will also feel the same if it happens to me, am I right?" 

Elle nodded while leaning on Erick's chest. She loved to feel his warmth. She liked the feeling of being engulfed by his strong arms. Suddenly, she felt like she didn't want to break this hug and just stay like this forever.

Meanwhile, Erick was waiting for the right timing to bring up the topic of her pregnancy. He already rehearsed a while ago how he would tell her the good news but now he forgot everything.

Erick was still thinking about how to start when Elle asked him out of the blue.

"What's the doctor's findings? Why did I collapse suddenly? It didn't happen to me before. Is it the effect of the toxin in my body?" Elle was also thinking the same thing. She thought the toxin had something to do with why she fainted.

Erick was glad she asked him first. Now, he saw the opportunity the tell her.

"No wifey. You fainted not because of the toxin but for other reasons." 

Elle could hear the cheerfulness in Erick's mood when he said those words. Elle wondered why Erick was still happy after what happened to her. She found this very unusual and strange.

"Oh, so what's the reason?" She asked him once again.

His grasp on her tightened, placing his chin on her shoulder as he said something to her ear.

"Wifey, congratulations! You are going to be a mother now! You are pregnant with our child."

One second…

Two seconds…

Three seconds…

Elle didn't react after hearing that. She was frozen in Erick's arms. Elle was in shock. That's the least she expected. No, she didn't expect it at all.

"Hey, Wifey? Are you okay? Did you hear me?" Erick asked her worriedly when he didn't get any response from her.

Erick's voice pulled her out of the daze. 

"Hubby? Can you repeat it? What did you say? Oh, pinch me too. Tell me... I'm not dreaming." Elle said to him, feeling so lost.

Erick chuckled before he bit her shoulder.

"Hey, I told you to pinch me, not to bite me!" Elle complained to him.

Erick just ignored her complaint as he repeated what he had just said to her.

"Mrs. Ma. Belle Elleise Falcon Lee, you are pregnant with our child. We are going to be parents now! I am the father and you are the other of our cute babies!"

���Really? I'm a mother now? Huh? Wait… do you mean Babies? Why? Do I have twins in my w.o.m.b now? Not only one?" Elle asked Erick, she was still feeling frenzy. Her mind was not functioning well as she was still baffled by the news. But she felt very happy that she wanted to fly like Peter Pan.

Erick couldn't help but let out a husky laugh when he heard her. His hand moved towards her belly, caressing it so gently.

"Yeah, I really wish we have twins, no not only twins… I want triplets and quadruplets!"

Elle didn't pay attention to the last words Erick had uttered. Her mind was occupied now by the thought that she was pregnant. When Elle felt Erick's hand on her belly, Elle reflexively moved her hand also to feel her still flat stomach.

She fell silent once again. Then suddenly she became emotional. In just a brief moment, her vision was clouded by her tears. She was now silently crying, tears falling down her cheeks like raindrops.

Erick just noticed that Elle was crying when her teardrops fell on his hands. He felt alarmed when he learned that she was crying.

"Wifey? Are you not happy? Why are you crying? Are you sad?" Erick moved to the side so that he could see her face.

Elle shook her head, still shedding tears. "I-I'm not sad…but I'm happy. I just can't help it. The tears won't stop. I can't hold it. Is this the feeling of being a parent? A mother? Did my mom also cry when she learned that she was pregnant with me?"

Erick just smiled at her tenderly. He wiped her tears using her bare hands while caressing her cheeks. "I'm sure she did. I think your Dad also jumped crazily like me when he learned that your mother was pregnant. Wifey, I promise… I will be a good father to our children. I will take good care of you and our children. I will protect you and our family."

Elle just nodded her head. She could no longer utter a single word. She felt really emotional right now. She just leaned over to hug Erick as she buried her face to his chest. She was overjoyed. For a woman like her, the best feeling in the world was knowing that she was now a mother.
