Chris, who couldn't bring himself to set the plan into motion, attempted to persuade Ethan."Mr. Miller, they are two little babies. It is not easy for a mother to give birth to a new life. I think …"The insensible Calvin finally noticed something was off as he asked, "Chris, what are you guys talking about?"Losing his patience, Ethan stood up and left. "Schedule for a surgery."Calvin grabbed Chris' hand. "Chris, tell me, what is the surgery for?""It's performed when the pregnant mother is over four weeks pregnant. What do you think it is for?" Chris sighed before following Ethan, leaving Calvin behind.Questions flooded Calvin's head as he thought, "Why? Doesn't Mr. Miller love her? Why does he want an abortion?"And a pair of twins at that! Olivia clearly doesn't know anything about this. She even texted me in secret to ask for help."As a friend, he couldn't bring himself to watch Olivia lose her babies.He fished his phone out, wanting to call her.But someone took hi
Olivia's mind went blank at that moment as everything felt like a dream. She was certain that something had gone wrong.She knew all of Ethan's close friends. There were only a handful of them.Even if she hadn't met them before, she would have heard their names before. None of them went by the name Henry.Olivia took a deep breath, trying not to freak herself out.It was possible that Ethan chose a stranger in order not to give the game away; however, what Everly was going to say next toppled all of Olivia's reasoning."The house belongs to Mr. Synder. Remember the day we met? "Before I chased after you with a bottle of folic acid in hand, he told me that he knew you, that you were someone's crush."Handing you the folic acid was the only thing I had in mind, so I forgot about that when I went back to talk about work with him."Everly was blaming herself. "Sorry, Liv. I was swamped at that time. I only recalled about that when I paid the management fee. "I thought he was
The call was terminated. Olivia had no other options. She knew Ethan like the back of her hand, and so did Ethan. He had been trying to make her put her guard down.It was not that she had been lying to Ethan, but it was the other way round!Henry might have already informed Ethan about it. She must escape from here!Mona happened to enter the restroom to look for Olivia. "Olivia, what's taking you so long? The doctor is waiting.""I'm not going to take the checkup, Mona. We must leave right now.""Why? Don't you have other checkups to take?"Olivia held Mona's hand, pulling her out of the restroom. "I can't explain everything to you now. But we can't stay here. It's dangerous."Mona couldn't follow. "How so? We have the bodyguards with us. I'll call Mr. Miller to let him handle the issue.""Silly you. He's the biggest danger." Olivia ran out while holding Mona's hand.Mona persuaded her, "Wait. You haven't reached 12 weeks of pregnancy yet, so you cannot do any extreme exer
Ethan approached her, reaching his hand out for her. "Be good and come with me."It was a gentle voice meant for cooing at kids, but it made Olivia's skin crawl.Even Mona sensed that something was wrong. She unconsciously stood before Olivia. "Mr. Miller, Ms. Fordham is done with her checkups. I should send her home."Only then did he shift his gaze from Olivia to Mona. "Get out of the way."He was a very dangerous person right now, so Olivia didn't want to drag Mona into this."Mona, wait for me outside. I have something to talk to him about."Mona alternated her gaze between Olivia and Ethan.It seemed like the couple had something important to discuss, so Mona waved her hand and left.Now that they were alone, Olivia hurriedly said, "Ethan, let's talk about the babies."Calmly looking at her, Ethan said coldly, "Are you thinking of telling me that the baby in your belly is mine?""It is yours. When you were running a temperature, we …"He smirked and raised her chin. "Li
Olivia gazed at Ethan in despair. "Ethan, these two babies are the only people I have. I have nothing. I have no one else. "If you don't believe my words today, you can wait until the labor—no—we can take a DNA test when I'm at least 16 weeks pregnant.""You're getting more and more mischievous, Liv. You never lied to me in the past. Let's not discuss if you're willing to abort the babies or not. "Once the babies mature, an abortion will have dire effects on your body. I consulted with the doctor. "Taking an abortion now will have the minimum impact on your body."He gently comforted her, "How could you say that you have nothing and no one else? Dad's showing improvement each day. "It'll take two years at most before he becomes as healthy as before. He will be able to handle the Fordham family again."If Marina is making you insecure, I can tell you that she's purely an obligation of mine. You're the person I love all along."He caressed her cheek. "You're still young. You
Olivia was lifted to the operating table. Standing next to her was Ethan. It pained him to watch her in despair. "Don't cry, Liv. As I said, we can have babies in the future. You can have as many babies as you wish. Our children and I will always be by your side.""I don't have a future, Ethan. These two babies are my only hope!" She was holding onto the last ray of hope. "Just wait a little longer, Ethan. Three months is the longest it'll take you to realize that I'm not lying.""I won't change my mind, Liv. Be good. The surgery will be over soon." Ethan chose to leave because he was afraid he would yield in if he stayed any longer.Noticing that he was going to leave, she hurriedly begged, "Ethan, don't go! You have to trust me! Why won't you believe my words? "Ethan Miller, they are your babies. How could you look down upon someone's precious life? You will regret this, Ethan Miller. You will surely regret this!"The door was slammed shut, taking away all of her hope.Thi
Olivia was flooded with anxiety and fear. Now that Gigi spouted those remarks, it infuriated Olivia more. "Is this how your mother raised you? Is your profession's integrity your weapon to attack others? "Do you know me? Do you even know the whole story? Who are you to humiliate me?"Gigi crossed her arms, furious. "Humiliate? Well, I can't say anything about it if you see this as a humiliation. "Everyone knows that Mr. Miller is going to get married soon. Yet, he brought you here for an abortion? What else are you if you're not a homewrecker?"She sized Olivia up. "I wonder how parents raise their kids nowadays. They're all raised wrong! "Why do they keep eyeing someone else's husband instead of spending their time studying?"You had this coming. You deserve not to be pregnant. Look at how filthy you are. You're destined to be barren and grow old alone!"Olivia broke free and slapped Gigi right in the face. "Fuck! How dare you slap me, you bitch! You guys had one job,
Kelvin was stunned, not expecting it to turn out this way when they were supposed to perform a preoperative examination. "Why did you hit her?"The nurses were scared out of their wits. Things were supposed to be handled carefully between doctors and patients. Yet, Gigi simply confronted the patient physically head-on.Even if Olivia was Ethan's mistress, Ethan was one of the Millers!Gigi had yet to realize the solemnity of the matter. She thought that no man could accept his partner cheating on him.Hence, Gigi was certain that Ethan hated Olivia to the bones and was going to praise her."What? I was teaching her a lesson in her mother's stead. She doesn't love herself despite her young age. "Who knows what humiliating deeds she's going to do in the future? Tell Mr. Miller to rest assured. I will teach her properly."Kelvin was getting jumpy upon hearing that. "What did you say?""I said, a slut like her-"He was on the edge before she could finish. "What's the matter w
