Chapter 538 Finding A Doctor For Abortion
When I heard Janette’s remark, I couldn’t help frowning. Although we all knew that the baby couldn’t be allowed to remain, her lack of affection for the baby in her stomach and her unwavering resolve in aborting it made me feel that she was a bit too ruthless.
Regardless of how she ended up with the child, that was still her child. It was in her stomach and was already part of her. For that reason, fury simmered within me when she reviled her child thus. Perhaps it was because I already had a child that I was particularly touchy about that.
“In that case, let’s take some time to go to the hospital. We must find an experienced doctor since abortion is no trivial matter. Janette is still going to get married and have children in the future, so it’ll be bad if there are any long-term sequelae.”
Alicia breathed easier at Janette’s agreement to abort the baby, but she was still worried at the thought of the operation.
“I’ll handle this matter. I have some acquaintances in the hospital, and I can ask Ronan for help.”
Ronan was the hospital’s owner, so this matter wouldn’t be a problem if I were to seek his assistance.
“No!”
No sooner had I spoken than Janette cut me off glacially, obviously quite worked up at that moment.
“Why not?”
My brows knitted together, and I eyed her in puzzlement.
“I said no, so that’s the end of it! You can’t ask him for help! Also, don’t breathe a single word about my affairs to him!” Janette roared emotionally, abruptly shooting up from the couch.
I was stunned at her sudden shift in mood, but when realization dawned upon me, I grew even more concerned.
She doesn’t want me to seek Ronan’s help for no other reason than not wanting him to know about her shame. She has fallen in love with him, and she probably even secretly hopes that she’ll be able to get together with him if there’s such an opportunity. But then, I really think that it isn’t necessary to keep this a secret, for he’ll never get together with her.
Despite my thoughts, I didn’t want to say anything to trigger her when she had already suffered such a huge blow.
“He’s far more familiar with the staff in the hospital, so we’ll be able to find a doctor with the best medical skills with his help. After all, such an operation is detrimental to the body. Thus, we’ve got to minimize the damage.”
I couldn’t resist persuading her otherwise though I understood her thoughts.
In this age, many young ladies couldn’t conceive after getting married because they had an abortion. I didn’t want her to suffer the same fate. She was still very young right then, so the most important thing was to ensure her health.
“Don’t think I’m ignorant to your intention, Anna! I bet you want Ronan to find out about what happened to me, right?”
Upon hearing that, Janette glared at me with a chilly expression on her face and fury blazing in her eyes.
Irritation swamped me when she interpreted my kind intention so detestably.
I only said that for the sake of her health, yet she thinks that I intentionally want to have Ronan know about the tragedy that has befallen her! I know she likes him, but I also know that he definitely won’t reciprocate her feelings, so there’s absolutely no need for me to do so!
