Mommy 317
Chapter 317 'How could that be possible? 'Adeline didn't tell me about it at all!
'I had no idea about this... Andrew thought. "Don't you know she's pregnant? Aren't you her boyfriend?" The attending doctor asked suspiciously.
After a pause, she continued, "We checked on her yesterday. It's confirmed that she's four weeks pregnant, and the fetus is in good health. But she herself, maybe because she doesn't pay attention to nutrition intake, suffers from anemia. In addition, she bled by accident last night, so she's not in a good condition..."
Andrew's mind was a mess, and he couldn't think at all. "Why did she bleed? Is she all right?" he asked spontaneously.
"She's fine for the time being, but to be on the safe side, she'd better stay in bed and recuperate for some time. However..." "What?" "However, she was quite depressed when she woke up. Her eyes were red and swollen as if she had cried. In addition, she consulted me about abortion. She seemed to want to abort the child in her belly..."
Andrew suddenly looked up, a jolt of anger in his eyes. He immediately turned around and dashed out regardless of his clothes being wet.
He didn't hang up, so he could still hear the doctor's chatter, but he wasn't in the mood to pay attention. There was only one sentence left in his mind-Adeline seemed to want to abort the child...
'How dare she?! 'She didn't tell me about her pregnancy, and now she wants to have an abortion without letting me know! 'What gave her such courage?!' Andrew wondered. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
When Andrew stormed out of the hotel, he gnashed his teeth as he walked to the side of the road, trying to hail a cab. He was in a mess and wet all over. None of the drivers passing by stopped for him. Finally, a taxi stopped.
Without hesitation, Andrew opened the car door, sat down in the back seat, and said, "Sir, Clearview Hospital!" The driver looked back at Andrew with a frown. The water from Andrew's clothes soaked the cushions. The driver said discontentedly, "Oh, sir, look at you... you're wet all over. You ruined my cushions!"
"I'll pay for the car wash!" Andrew said impatiently.
"It's not about the car wash! Time is of the essence to us drivers. We can't afford to waste it! Any time I waste getting my car cleaned will cost me dearly. If I take my car to the car wash, I'll lose 100 dollars!" Knitting his brows, Andrew fumbled in his jacket's pocket and fished out his wallet. He took out all the cash and handed it to the driver. It was a thick stack with a total of 400 dollars.
"Take it all! Please, I have to hurry to the hospital for something urgent! If it's not enough, give me your bank number and I'll transfer the money to you later!" "Forget it! Just take it as a favor!" The driver's eyes lit up. He quickly took the cash and pressed the button of the taximeter. Andrew picked up his phone again and found that the doctor had hung up.
He was eager to know about Adeline's current situation, so he quickly called back. But this time around, Adeline's phone was turned off. Why did she turn her phone off?! Andrew wondered. He was going nuts as he urged the driver. "Hurry up!"
The driver said helplessly, "Young man, I was going fast enough! The traffic here is as heavy as usual. I can't run the red lights, can 1? Besides, there are so many speed cameras on the road. If I got caught exceeding the speed limit, I would get into trouble!" Gritting his teeth, Andrew clenched his fists in annoyance.
The driver glanced at Andrew and asked curiously, "Why are you in such a hurry to go to the hospital? Is someone in your family sick? Your parents or your wife?" Andrew didn't say anything. "Oh, don't worry too much! It's inevitable that people will get sick.
Get a good doctor and they'll be fine!"
'Fine?! 'How could she be fine if she had an abortion? 'She was timid and would turn pale at the sight of blood. 'Now she's got the nerve. She tries to have an abortion behind my back!' Andrew thought. Andrew had nowhere to vent his anger.
But deep down, he was telling himself, 'Isn't it just right that she wants to have an abortion?'
It had never occurred to Andrew that Adeline would be pregnant.
They had been together for so long, and every time they had sex, he would put her on pills to prevent pregnancy. But he didn't expect that she would get pregnant somehow! 'How on earth did she get pregnant!?'
Andrew couldn't help but get a little suspicious. 'Was it an accident? 'Or was it planned?' Andrew chose the birth control pill Adeline used to take.
He was worried that taking too many pills would do harm to her health, so he intentionally chose a brand that was less effective but had fewer side effects. 'Could that be why she got pregnant? 'Why didn't she tell me?! 'She's four weeks pregnant, and she hasn't told me anything! 'Even if she didn't realize she was pregnant at first, there must be some signs.
'She must have known something was wrong with her, and yet she never told me anything!
'Damn it!' Andrew's face clouded over with anger. But then, he seemed to think of something, and he suddenly froze. What would I do if she told me she's pregnant?
'Would I let her have the baby?' Given Adeline's personality, if she found out she was pregnant, her first thought would be to keep the baby. If she wanted to keep the baby, she would think of marrying Andrew.
It was only right and proper for her to have the baby after marriage. She had been an orphan since childhood. She had no parents and did not have a complete family.
She would definitely want her child to live in a happy and healthy family of three. Therefore, she would absolutely think of marriage and even look forward to it. What about Andrew?
Would he agree to marry Adeline? Would he let her have the baby? Would he... start a family with her, as she wished? The answer lay within himself.
He didn't need anyone to remind him. He knew it better than anyone else. -He wouldn't! He wouldn't marry Adeline. He wouldn't start a family with her.
He wouldn't even let her have the baby. At the critical time when he was about to marry the daughter of the Linetti family, it was already a great risk for him not to break up with her in time and sever their relationship.
Therefore, no matter what, he would never allow himself to have an illegitimate child.
