The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 279
“I hope we will have a child soon…” Hannah said with a low voice. She immediately pursed her lips after saying those shocking words.
Friedrich was stunned to hear her. He stared at Hannah for a long time. His mind was filled with emotions that he could no longer hold back. His eyes were teary.
“But I will not be there … to accompany you to raise the child,” the young man finally whispered. “I don’t want you to be burdened and troubled.”
Hannah shook her head hard. Her tears slowly dripped down.
“I would never feel burdened nor troubled …” whispered the girl. “I want to have you forever. I want a part of you to always be with me, even after … after …”
She could not continue her words.
Friedrich was moved because his wife loved him so deeply. He also really wanted to build a family with Hannah. Several months ago, he had surrendered to a fate and accepted the fact that he would not live long.
But now, after he experienced how happy he could feel when he was with that girl, Friedrich began to hate the fact that he wouldn’t live for much longer.
He felt like he wanted to be selfish for longer and lived to see his child born into this world … then raise him with Hannah.
“I love you so much …” whispered Friedrich as he took Hannah into his arms. “I want to have children with you.”
They hugged tightly for a few moments and made passersby at the airport headed for security check-in turn their way and take a double look.
This couple looked so perfect together. The man was handsome, and the woman was beautiful, and they were obviously in love.
Everyone could see how deeply they loved each other when they saw the couple.
Friedrich then loosened his hug. He stared at Hannah’s face from such a close distance, never feeling satisfied. He then touched the girl’s chin and tilted his face to gently kiss her lips.
He didn’t care that they were at the airport, where so many people were around them. At that time, he didn’t care about anyone. For him, the most important thing was that he was with Hannah.
They kissed intimately. At that moment, it felt like time had stopped for the two of them.
After Friedrich and Hannah went back to their senses, they broke away and smiled broadly. They then held hands and walked to the parking lot to return to their apartment.
There, they would spend one last day, just the two of them. Then, they got ready to leave for the Maldives. Friedrich and Hannah would spend two weeks in the beautiful island nation before continuing their trip to Australia.

Hannah shrieked in joy when she checked her pregnancy to the doctor that afternoon. Her face was radiant, and her eyes were filled with happiness. She squeezed Friedrich’s hand. The man was sitting beside her, looking dumbfounded.
“The doctor said our baby is a boy,” Hannah whispered over and over. “I hope he will be like you.”
Her voice turned sad.
She really hoped their son would look like her husband. So, later, after Friedrich died, she would remember the man through their child.
Friedrich understood what his wife was thinking. He squeezed the girl’s hand and nodded.
“He will definitely look like me because he is my son,” he said with a smile. Her hand tapped gently on Hannah’s.
They had been married for almost six months, and Hannah’s pregnancy was already five months in. Her stomach looked bulging. It looked so adorable.
Fridrich loved rubbing his wife’s belly when they were sitting together in bed and reading fairy tales in different languages.
The obgyn in Melbourne who did not know about Friedrich’s health condition smiled broadly and congratulated the young couple.
“Congratulations on your son. If you look at the ultrasound results and various examinations just now, both the mother and baby are healthy. As usual, please avoid stress and activities that are too draining. The due date is around September.”
Friedrich and Hannah looked at each other. September was in four months. They only had a very short time to prepare everything. If they continued to stay in Australia, Hannah’s last trimester would be in winter. Friedrich thought it would make his wife very uncomfortable.
“Do you want to go back to Europe?” asked the man. “So you can give birth in early autumn there. The weather is fine, and it will be more comfortable.”
More important than the weather, for Friedrich was, who would help Hannah take care of their child later in his absence? They had no other friends and family.
He decided to discuss with Hannah the possibility of returning to Moravia. At least it was her home country, and she would certainly feel more at home living there. She also had Aurora and Sebastian, who would be able to help her.
“Thank you very much, doctor. We would like to have all of my wife’s medical records to take with us. When we move back to Europe, my wife can immediately get the appropriate treatment,” Friedrich said as he stretched out his hand, shaking Doctor Lu’s hand.
“Congratulations once again, Sir and Madam. Later, my assistant will prepare everything,” replied Doctor Lu. She then called her assistant and gave her orders to provide all the medical records that Friedrich had requested.
When Friedrich and Hannah walked out of the clinic, they caught the attention of the hospital’s patients and visitors alike.
Apart from being both very good looking, they also seemed so young. Many thought they were students who had an unplanned pregnancy since they still looked like they were still in school.
However, luckily no one was nosy and criticize them. People kept their curiosity about this couple to themselves.
After they returned to the mansion that Friedrich had rented for them
while in Australia, the young man talked to his wife seriously.
“We must return to Moravia,” said the young man firmly.
“Why?” Hannah asked in puzzlement. “You know I no longer consider them my family, after what they have done to me all this time.”
The young man shook his head and squeezed his wife’s hand gently. “But now we no longer live for ourselves, Hannah. Do you want our child not to know his family from his mother’s side? I have absolutely no one but Charles, and my brother is still too young. He can’t be relied on. Who will help you later after I’m… ”
He couldn’t continue his words. Even without a complete sentence, Hannah already understood what her husband meant.
Who would help Hannah take care of their little baby after Friedrich was no longer around? Of course, that had been a burden on Friedrich’s mind for so long.
The girl bit her lip. “My family doesn’t love me. They are dead to me.. They have no right to call themselves my family.”
