Chapter 1014
Edwin felt even more conflicted the more Kelly insisted.
The veins on his forehead bulged. He clenched his fists tightly and raised his eyebrows. Ì knew from the beginning that
Joanne wasn't pregnant. It was my idea to deceive Grandma. Don't put the blame for everything on Joanne. If she can be
a bit scheming, I think she has learned something from me eventually, and I'm proud of her."
Kelly froze as her mouth widened in shock. 'Master Edwin is the mastermind?'
Three days have passed since they met in the hospital.
For the past three days, Catelyn had stayed in Atherton Manor and did not go anywhere. It was too late when she learned
that Joanne was expelled by Sylvie, and Joanne must have gone somewhere far.
She tried calling her, but Joanne only told her that everything was fine before she ended the call.
Catelyn wanted to call her again, but she was too busy taking care of herself.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter all, she was in a terrible spot herself.
When they met in the gallery that day, Cedrick gave her three days to consider before deciding whether to keep or
abort the child. At this moment, three days have passed.
Cedrick believed that she would see reason in his words after struggling for days and would give up the child in the
end.
Every minute and every second was a torment for Catelyn, and she felt that she would not be able to hold on any
longer.
Finally, Cedrick called her as scheduled.
Catelyn trembled, but still answered the phone. "It's me."
"Have you made up your mind?" Cedrick cut to the chase. His tone was a little calmer, probably because he had
already guessed Catelyn's choice.
Catelyn sat on the small blanket, looking into the distance through the window.
Flowers and trees in the winter had long lost their leaves and their previous vitality during summer, but that did not
mean that they would not germinate and bloom again in the coming year.
"I won't give up on this child," she replied resolutely.
Cedrick's breathing fluttered on the phone as he said, "Is this the result of your three days of thinking? Even if this
child is a sick fetus and will suffer after birth, you still want to keep them?"
"The child is less than three months old, so the test results may not be a hundred percent accurate, right? If I’m
willing to take the medicine, maybe the child's condition will get better after a long time?"
Cedrick was silent for a moment before hoarsely retorting, "You're betting the rest of your life on this child!"
Even if the child could be born and somehow survived, the chance of being healthy was too slim.
She might have to live around the child and their genetic imperfection for the rest of her life!
"Yes, I admit that, but I just can't give up! The child isn't in your womb, so you cant feel what I feel! As a mother,
whenever I decide to kill this child, they'll react to me in some ways like they're fighting for their life, telling me that
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthey'll be healthy, begging me not to kill them!
"Ceddy, give me and this baby a chance, okay?"
"There is no chance; this child must not be born!" Cedrick felt that Catelyn's mentality had reached the edge of collapse.
Of course, he knew that all mothers loved their child endlessly, but she did not seem to understand what it meant to
give birth to a sick baby, and she did not even understand how many people in the Mason family died because of that
virus. He knew she would regret giving birth to the child in the future.
He had consulted the doctor before and learned that Catelyn's premature birth four years ago had already impaired her
capability to give birth again, and she had worked so hard to raise the child all these years, but she had never taken
good care of herself.
It would be a blessing to have a healthy fetus, but...
If the child’s resistance to the virus was insufficient and would lead them to be infected, she would have a natural
abortion in six to seven months which would cause a second injury to her body.
That second injury might cause her to lose her ability to be pregnant again completely.
All Cedrick wanted was for Catelyn to be safe and happy.
"Cedrick, do you have to be so heartless?" Catelyn was so anxious that she lost her mind and sneered, "The child is
mine, and you alone have no right to decide on their life or death. If you insist on forcing me to abort this child, then I'll-"
