Chapter 1819
Austin approached his daughter and gently patted her shoulder.He said, "You don't need to worry about us. If you truly want to have this child, go ahead and have it. This child will be a member of the Quest family. "Don't mind the gossip and rumors. If people want to talk, let them. We can always move to a new place if it comes to that. What's there to fear?""That's right, Lisa. Don't worry about anything else. Just think about whether you want to have this child and whether you want to be with Terry... or not," Hersha added as she stepped forward.Hersha understood all too well. Throughout these years, Terry had always had a place in Lisa's heart. However, she also understood Lisa's reservations about the man.Hearing her parents' words, Lisa burst into tears and hugged them tightly. All the concerns, the confusion, and the helplessness she had been feeling, along with all the suppressed emotions, were released at that moment.No matter what, her parents were always there for

"Seems like something's bothering you. Are you still worried about the baby?" Serenity asked."How could I not be?" Lisa responded with a wry smile. "My parents know about the baby now and left the decision up to me. Terry has said he's willing to take responsibility and marry me. "After thinking about it, marrying him seems like the best option. Not only will it look good, but the baby won't be illegitimate. People around us would probably envy me for landing a wealthy husband rather than mock me.""But you're still hesitant, aren't you?" Serenity observed, noting the lingering doubts in her friend's expression."Should I... get back together with Terry?" Lisa asked."The question you should be asking is whether you still love Terry," Serenity countered.Did she still love him? Lisa pursed her lips tightly. If she didn't love him, perhaps she wouldn't be so troubled and might have easily opted for an abortion.Even without a direct answer, Serenity could guess Lisa's feeling

But Lisa was certain of one thing: if she didn't take this chance, she would surely regret it in the future!As she approached the villa, Lisa parked her car to the side and was about to get out when she suddenly saw another car overtake hers and stop at the villa's entrance.And the person who got out was... Monica!Lisa's eyes widened in shock.Why was Monica here at this time? Hadn't she and Terry broken up?What followed only added to her shock. The security guards at the entrance respectfully stepped aside. One took Monica's car keys to park her vehicle, while the other opened the gate to let Monica into the villa.Monica didn't even exchange more than a few words with the guards, indicating that such occurrences were routine and they had an understanding.Lisa was stunned as she watched this scene unfold, feeling a sharp sting in her eyes.She exited her car in a daze and walked towards the guards, her mind swirling with questions. Why was Monica allowed in so familia

"Hey, watch what you say. If Mr. White finds out you're gossiping behind his back, you might lose your job," the other guard warned.The guard who had been advising Lisa quickly shut his mouth and said no more. The two of them then treated Lisa as if she were invisible.Lisa felt an increasing chill enveloping her. The words she had wanted to say to Terry, the reasons for her visit, all seemed to slip away from her mind, leaving a blank void.She walked back to her car slowly but didn't start the vehicle to leave. Instead, she just sat there and looked toward the villa.Maybe... Monica was just there for a short visit, or perhaps... it was merely some unfinished business between White Maple Group and the Hart family...Lisa kept making up excuses for Monica's presence, but convincing herself became increasingly difficult as time passed.When her phone rang, she saw it was a call from her mom, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears."Mom," she answered, trying to keep her

Monica watched Terry's agony with a cold gaze. This man, who had turned her into a laughingstock and led the Hart family to its downfall, was now in such pain.Yet, she felt no joy.Instead, there was a sense of loss.This man was enduring inhuman suffering all because of Lisa! The Blood Parasite targeted only Lisa. He could have chosen any other woman in the world and avoided the pain of removing the curse. Yet, he was willing to risk death for Lisa!And what about her? After all these years, she had gained nothing!What was so special about Lisa that Terry would go to such lengths? That woman seemed so ordinary. She never had to make any sacrifices, right?!"Terry, is it really worth enduring such agony for Lisa? She doesn't even know the pain you're going through!" Monica crouched down in front of him and said, "If you don't survive tonight, you'll die. Even then, she might not shed a single tear for you. In her heart, you're just the traitor who abandoned her."It seem

Lisa consoled herself internally, but the tears she had suppressed all night finally betrayed her and streamed down her cheeks.Could she really walk away from feelings that she hadn't fully let go of in the past?If that were possible, why was she in such agony now? Why couldn't she stop the tears?What was this pain in her chest?"Lisa, if I tell you I've only ever loved you, would you believe me?""Lisa, just give me a little time. That's all I need.""Lisa, how are you going to take responsibility for me?""Lisa... Lisa..."His voice, his words from the past, kept echoing in her ears. Yet, they felt so distant to her now...Finally, Lisa started the car. She turned it around and drove away from the villa.-Lisa knew she had to head to the office. It wasn't a day off, and she needed to work.She tried hard to compose herself, to stop the tears. If she continued, her blurred vision would prevent her from seeing the road ahead.Just then, a scooter suddenly darted in f

Lisa closed her eyes with a bitter feeling.Perhaps it was fate that she encountered this accident now, allowing the child to leave her through this ordeal. Maybe this was the best ending... to let the child go and sever any ties between her and Terry!The car quickly arrived at the hospital. Gale carried Lisa swiftly into the emergency room. He briefly explained the situation in the simplest terms and emphasized, "She's pregnant! Please, do everything possible to save the child!"Lisa was placed on a gurney and rushed into the emergency room for urgent treatment. Gale sat anxiously on a bench outside.If Lisa hadn't asked him not to inform her parents before going in, he probably would have already called Austin and Hersha. But Lisa hadn't mentioned Terry. Should he contact Terry?Gale was indecisive. Informing Terry could mean access to better medical resources, given Terry's capabilities. It would ensure Lisa got better treatment if necessary.While he was pondering, h

The doctor had mistakenly assumed Gale was the father of the child Lisa was carrying.Before Gale could clarify, Lisa said, "He's not the child's father, so I can make the decision myself. Doctor, please arrange for the abortion."Hearing Lisa's firm stance, the doctor began to respond, "Alright then, I...""I am the child's father. What if I don't agree to the procedure?" A voice interrupted the doctor.With those words, a tall figure appeared in the doorway.Lisa stared in disbelief as Terry approached her. He was dressed in a simple white shirt and black trousers. His hair was slightly disheveled, and his shirt collar was crooked. His appearance indicated that he had been in a rush to come here.Terry looked at Lisa lying on the hospital bed. He had intended to contact her that morning to share that they could finally be together and to reveal everything about the past!Yet, he hadn't expected to hear from Gale about her accident and then arrive to find her requesting an abor
