Chapter 207
“Why are you still drinking when you know you’re pregnant?”
With a smile on her face, Jude commented offhandedly, “I don’t want the baby anyway.”
“You can’t drink even if you don’t want it!” They spent a while standing off against each other before Selena asked, “Whose child is it?”
“You know who.” Without naming the man, Jude dismissed the question with a curt reply. She knew full well that Selena would know who she meant, which was true. The reason they became friends was because they bonded over their similar circumstances. Both Selena and Jude had to defeat a demon who terrorized them in order to get to where they were today.
Turning around, Selena questioned, “Are you seeing each other again?”
“Aren’t you curious as to why I haven’t been in touch with you for a while?”
While looking at Jude, Selena was blaming herself for not being alarmed when Jude didn’t contact her at all. She didn’t even think of sending her a message to inquire about her. “So does he know?”
“Wouldn’t the outcome be the same even if he knew?” Leaning into the sofa, Jude stared at the ceiling absentmindedly.
Selena’s stomach sank, which made her feel uncomfortable. Abruptly, she held Jude in her arms. “I’m sorry for neglecting you, Jude. How could I not—” NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“Alright! Selena, while I have to admit that your hug is very soothing, I do not appreciate these gestures. Have you forgotten? Don’t you get overly emotional about this!” Shoving Selena away, she retorted, “I also neglected you despite the fact that so much happened to you these days.” To be honest, she was also blaming herself for being away and unavailable to Selena when she was going through it all.
“That’s different!”
“What’s so different about it?”
Selena tried her best to suppress her anger, as she knew Jude was merely putting up a strong facade, as well as refusing to admit that she needed help. “I have Pierre by my side, but do you?”
All of a sudden, Jude tugged on her collar. “Oh, so this is you trying to show off your love life to me! This isn’t actually half bad.”
“Jude...” Selena finally softened her attitude. “Are you sure you’re going to do this?”
With a nod, Jude replied, “I’m a celebrity, so pregnancy before marriage would do irreparable damage to my reputation, which would effectively kill my career. I’m going to bed. Remember, you have to accompany me during tomorrow’s operation, so your boyfriend will have to wait.”
“Sure, I’ll be with you.”
Jude brushed her finger under Selena’s chin before going upstairs. After that, Selena sent Linda a text to tell her to come get Juniper the next day. Meanwhile, Jude lay in bed while staring at the ceiling absentmindedly. It wasn’t until then that she shed a single drop of tear. Unknowingly, she rested her hand on her belly, aware that she would be killing the child in it the next day.
Suddenly, she got up to reach for her phone to dial the number that she dared not dial before. Beep… beep… beep... While listening to the dial tone, her heart leaped to her throat. After the sixth beep, the call finally connected. “Hello, who is this?”
Hearing that it was a woman who picked up, she hung up in reflex before switching her phone off. Then, she pulled the blanket over herself, forcing herself to fall asleep. This might be my fate… That’s right. This must be fate.
Early the next morning, Selena and Jude went to the hospital after Linda took Juniper with her. Jude was all covered up as she was determined to hide her identity from the public. However, Selena was still a little worried, so she contacted Wyatt. Wyatt helped stitch the wound on her head last time, so she knew he was a superb doctor.
