The Billionaire’s Maid Bride

Chapter 410
In the ward, Penelope was lying in bed. Miranda was standing by her side, holding her hand and saying, “Penelope, the doc says
you’re pretty much out of the woods now. Thank god, I’d be kicking myself if anything happened to you.”
Tears glistened in Penelope’s eyes, “Miranda, it’s all on me. I didn’t protect my and Lucian’s baby.”
“How can this be your fault, Penelope? Please don’t be so hard on yourself. What you need to do now is take care of yourself
and get your strength back.”
Penelope gritted her teeth. She seemed fragile on the outside, but inside she felt incredibly frustrated. She was in this state, and
Miranda clearly felt guilty, but she still hadn’t taken the initiative to suggest that Lucian marry her. Her voice trembled, “Maybe, I
was never meant to have this child.”
Miranda looked at Penelope, “I’ve arranged for the best orthopedic surgeon. Don’t worry about your broken arm and leg. That
kind of injury takes a while to heal.”
Miranda got up to leave, not wanting to disturb Penelope’s rest.
Seeing Miranda leaving, Penelope hurriedly said, “What about Lucian? Will he blame me for not protecting our child?”
“How could he possibly do that? If anyone’s to blame, it’s me.” Miranda looked at Penelope lying in the hospital bed, and her
heart was filled with profound sadness. If she hadn’t insisted on holding the charity gala, if she had done the check-up earlier,
maybe all this wouldn’t have happened.
Miranda walked out of the room, with Ms. Deborah trailing behind her, “Mrs. Lindberg, are you worried about the situation
between Mr. Lindberg and Ms. Flanagan?”
Ms. Deborah had been by Miranda’s side for over thirty years, and was five years older than her. Normally, Miranda called her
Deborah.
“Deborah, do you remember why Lucian wanted to marry Penelope?”
Ms. Deborah responded, “Didn’t Mr. Lindberg say he was set up when he first came back to the country and it was Ms. Flanagan
who saved him? She lost her chastity in order to save him and Mr. Lindberg felt guilty, wanting to compensate her.”

Miranda said, “Yes, but I can tell that Lucian didn’t really want to marry her. I once suggested that he and Penelope get married,
so that when Penelope gave birth to the child, it would be legitimate. But he refused, saying that the Lindberg family’s offspring
couldn’t afford any mistakes, he wanted to wait until Penelope gave birth to the baby before getting married. But now...”
Ms. Deborah continued, “Now, Ms. Flanagan’s child is gone.”
Miranda continued, “She was just half a month away from giving birth, but now the child is gone.”
“Now that the child is gone, Lucian doesn’t want to marry Penelope, but the external public opinion pressure is huge. He has
been doing really well running the Lindberg Corporation recently, and Carter seems to want Lucian to take over the Lindberg
Corporation. At this crucial moment, I just hope this doesn’t affect him.”
Deborah, “Mrs. Lindberg, don’t worry, this won’t affect Mr. Lindberg.
Miranda let out a sigh, “I hope so.”
“Miranda, as long as Mr. Lindberg and Ms. Flanagan get married and have children in the future, public opinion will naturally
dissipate. I’m just worried about Mr. Lindberg.”
Miranda looked at Deborah, “Deborah, you’ve watched Lucian grow up. You should know his character. I’m afraid he doesn’t
want to marry Penelope now. But we, the Lindberg family, do owe Penelope.”
“Is it because...” Deborah thought for a moment, “Could it be because of the woman named Allison?”
“Deborah, don’t you think Allison and Penelope look alike?”
“They do look a bit similar, but... there’s a huge difference in their statuses.”
“Deborah, do you think there’s a possibility that...” Miranda suddenly had a thought, maybe her son got the wrong person, the
one who saved her son the first time was Allison. But she immediately dismissed this idea. It was too ridiculous, Penelope was
already pregnant, the timing matched up, so the one who saved her son the first time was definitely Penelope.
“Never mind, it’s nothing.”
