She immediately realizes why I\u2019m here.<\/p>\n<p>She walks to me and aggressively pulls me into a corner. She asks sternly, \u201cYou are pregnant?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She grabs the report of B ultrasound examination in my hand, her eyes blaze with fury.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThree months. So it was you that got pregnant last time! You said that you just came with that woman for maternity examination. I\u2019m so stupid to be kept in ignorance for so long. You must get rid of the child now!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whitney takes out her phone and calls someone, \u201cAre you in the hospital? Go to the operating room to do an abortion. Hurry up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I panic and try to wrench my hand free, but I fail.<\/p>\n<p>She is pregnant too, but why is she so strong?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s really horrible when a woman goes nuts.<\/p>\n<p>But no matter what, I can\u2019t let her hurt the baby in my belly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhitney, it\u2019s against the law for you to abort my child.\u201d I say in a deep voice, forcing myself to calm down.<\/p>\n<p>In this situation, if I panic, things will get worse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAgainst the law? Do you think I\u2019m afraid of breaking the law? To me, it\u2019s worse if you give birth to this child. I know it\u2019s France\u2019s child, so you can\u2019t keep it.\u201d Whitney shouts at me. She\u2019s rather emotional now.<\/p>\n<p>I am scared of her rage and I can\u2019t help recalling that she is mentally ill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI won\u2019t do that. Believe me. I have never thought about marrying Frances. I keep the child just because it\u2019s innocent. I can\u2019t bear to abort it. You\u2019re pregnant too, so you must understand my feelings. There\u2019s no need for you to&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnough! Stop! No matter what you say, the child can\u2019t be kept!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Whitney speaks, she grabs my arm tightly.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m weak and she has someone else to help her. If I am taken to the operating room, I might lose the child.<\/p>\n<p>Now, there seems to be only one way.<\/p>\n<p>I bit my lip and say to Whitney in a deep voice, \u201cWhitney, I heard what you and Lawrence said the other day.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-263","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/263","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=263"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
