But I can\u2019t help feeling scared as she sneers at me frequently.<\/p>\n<p>I am so afraid that I have been avoiding her these days.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s Saturday, and Lawrence came to the Louis\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Frances is not at home. Lawrence greets me and then goes upstairs to see Whitney.<\/p>\n<p>I watch TV downstairs. After a while, I feel a little sleepy, so I go upstairs.<\/p>\n<p>I can vaguely hear Whitney and Lawrence arguing.<\/p>\n<p>Whitney\u2019s voice is loud. She sounds angry.<\/p>\n<p>My room is next to Frances\u2019, and Whitney\u2019s room is next to mine.<\/p>\n<p>Although I close the door, I can clearly hear her roaring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLawrence, I hate you. I hate Jane. If it weren\u2019t for you, I wouldn\u2019t lose my child!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After a few seconds of silence, Lawrence says, \u201cWhitney, stop it. If you hadn\u2019t tried to push Jane that day, it wouldn\u2019t have ended up like this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>There was a sound of something shattering. It seems that Whitney is throwing something.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou mean, it\u2019s my fault that I lost child? Lawrence, you are too ruthless. That\u2019s also your child. How can you&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I press my ears closer to the wall, afraid that I will miss something important.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe baby is fine. I asked the doctor to tell them that you lost the child. As for the medicine you took, it\u2019s not for postpartum recovery. It\u2019s for fetal protection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know if I should be happy or worried to hear this news.<\/p>\n<p>Whitney is silent for a few seconds. Then she raises her voice and says, \u201cNo, I can\u2019t keep this child! It\u2019s not Frances\u2019 child! That night was just an accident. How can I bear your child? The person I love is Frances! If he knows that this child is not his, then we will be over! No, I shouldn\u2019t keep the child!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whitney has been heartbroken after losing her child, but now she wants to abort it. It\u2019s hard for me to understand. However, considering her mental illness, I feel it reasonable again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can abort the child.\u201d Lawrence sneers and says, \u201cBut you have to think about it. If I tell Frances that you are pregnant with my child, what do you think he will do? I have arranged everything for you to study abroad for a year. You will go abroad in a month and give birth to the child there. As long as we don\u2019t tell him, Frances won\u2019t know about it. You like children so much. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll keep it. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhitney, you have no choice but to keep my child.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-256","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/256","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
