Hearing Luo Li's words, Xu Mo slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. He walked calmly in front of the three people.
"Xu Mo, what did you ask Lori to talk to us about?" Rick asked, his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with confusion. He looked wary, as if he sensed that what he was about to face was not simple.
"Yeah, just say whatever you want to say." Sean echoed with a hint of impatience. His eyes flickered with anxiety, as if he was filled with worry about the upcoming conversation.
Xu Mo did not hide anything. He took out the transparent bag, handed it to Rick and Sean, and said:
"This is what Lori asked me to pick up at the pharmacy yesterday." His eyes flicked back and forth between Rick and Sean, observing their reactions.
Sean and Rick took the transparent bag with confusion on their faces, and the moment they saw what was in the bag, their faces turned pale instantly.
"You're pregnant!?" Their eyes widened, and they turned to look at Lori almost at the same time. Their voices were filled with shock and disbelief, as if they had been struck by a bolt from the blue.
Hearing Rick and Sean's questions at the same time, Lori looked embarrassed, her eyes full of helplessness, and she looked at Xu Mo in embarrassment.
"Yes, Lori is pregnant, but due to some special reasons, she was embarrassed to tell you two directly, so Lori found me to act as a mediator and explain the matter to you." Xu Mo remained calm and spoke calmly to Lori's rescue.
Of course, he did this not entirely for Lori, but for another purpose, which was to earn the regret points of Rick and Sean.
Lori naturally couldn't understand Xu Mo's inner thoughts. Seeing Xu Mo speaking for her, she was filled with gratitude and looked at Xu Mo with gratitude.
When Rick and Sean heard Xu Mo's words, the expressions on their faces became extremely complicated.
After Xu Mo said the words "special reasons", they already had a rough idea of what Xu Mo was referring to.
"Lori, please explain it to them clearly." Xu Mo shook his head slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and gestured to Lori.
Lori was silent for a long time, struggling fiercely within herself. Then, she slowly raised her head, looked at Rick, and mustered up the courage to speak out: "Rick, Sean and I did that." Her voice trembled, filled with guilt and uneasiness.
Hearing this, Rick felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if he had been stabbed by a sharp knife. He had actually suspected this for a long time. In the days since he came back, he had noticed something strange in the way Lori and Sean looked at each other.
"I know, of course I know." Rick held his forehead in pain, slowly turned his back, and fell into a deep silence. His shoulders trembled slightly, as if he was enduring great pain.
When Sean heard this, his heart was shaken as if struck by lightning. He had not expected Lori to speak so directly about this matter.
He immediately turned to look at his silent brother beside him, feeling panicked and guilty. His eyes were filled with self-blame and regret, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
After a while, Rick slowly turned around, looked at Sean and Lori, and said in a slightly hoarse voice:
"You thought I was dead, in this fucking world, you thought I was dead, right?" His eyes revealed a hint of sadness and helplessness, as if questioning the unfairness of fate.
Although he was in great pain, Rick also tried to understand Sean and Lori.
If he really died, and Sean and Lori developed that kind of relationship, he might not only not object, but even support it. But the reality is, he is still alive.
"Yeah." Lori looked at Rick, her eyes filled with tears of guilt. She covered her face with her hands in guilt, her voice choked with sobs.
Sean lowered his head, not daring to look Rick in the eye. He didn't expect that Rick didn't immediately blame him and Lori after knowing this, which made him feel even more guilty.
After Lori finished speaking, he nodded heavily from behind and said "yes" in a low voice.
When Rick saw the looks on Lori and Sean's faces, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He turned his head and looked to the side, falling into silence again.
"Now that the relationship between you has been made clear, let's talk about the baby in Lori's belly." After seeing that the three of them had almost finished speaking, Xu Mo cleared his throat and spoke.
Upon hearing this, Rick, Sean, and Lori all looked at Xu Mo, their eyes filled with nervousness and anticipation.
