"Sion, you know I have stomach trouble. I still need a period of recuperation. Now it might not be the best time to have this child..."
She lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong averting her eyes from Sion.
"I... I don't want to keep this baby."
Sion looked at her, emotionless and calm, "What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor recommended that I not keep the child."
Her illness was a good excuse, and any doctor wouldn't recommend having a baby at a time like this if there were any signs of relapse.
He was a doctor and could understand it.
Sion frowned as if he were overwhelmed by sorrow. After a long while, he asked, "That the only reason?"
He knew Nevaeh wanted to keep this child very much, so he wondered why she suddenly changed her decision.
"I..." Nevaeh's eyes were glittering with tears. She glanced at him and immediately lowered her head, "I don't want to be a burden to you."
"You're not completely divorced yet, and if people know I was pregnant, you'll get in trouble."
"That's not your problem."
"Why not?" She raised her head with a serious face, "If the outsiders found that I'm pregnant, you would be at a disadvantage in this marriage. I... I don't want..."
Sion was shocked, for he did not expect Nevaeh to be so considerate to him. He knew a little about her personality. He had thought that she would give birth to this child regardless of her physical condition, but the truth was the opposite.
But he also quickly figured it out. Nevaeh was an understanding and sensitive woman, unlike Aurora.
For him, Aurora was a woman who cheated on him and was even pregnant with another man's child. And she insisted on giving birth to that child without scruple.
Did she ever feel that her relationship with Albie and the kid was wrong?
Why couldn't she realize her problem while Nevaeh could?
He didn't want Aurora to keep that child.
"Sion?"
Nevaeh looked at the gloomy man, who was contemplating.
"Are you angry?"
"No."
Sion came back to his senses, but he was still thinking about Aurora.
He glanced at Nevaeh and said, "You don't have to worry about anything else, but if it's because of your stomach bug, your body matters more."
In other words, if she were healthy enough, he would allow Nevaeh to have the baby.
"Uh-huh."
There was a bitter smile on her face.
"I know."
Of course, her health was more important.
But there was no such thing to choose if she had never been pregnant.
If she didn't make the excuse by saying keeping the baby would harm her health, how could the child in her belly logically "disappear"?
"It's good that you've figured it out." Sion was actively thinking about Aurora.
"I have something to do. You should take care of yourself." He stood up and said.
"Okay."
Nevaeh thoughtfully picked up his coat while helping him put it on.
"You should also keep yourself rested and don't stay up late. Okay?" she said.
Sion tidied up his clothes and looked back at her.
"I'm leaving. Take a good rest."
After that, he strode away.
