Alan paused for a moment, then tried to persuade Nora.
"The baby is innocent. It needs a father and mother, and a complete home. Only in that way can he grow up healthily. Nora, let's work together to give our baby the warmest love, to love him, to take care of him, and to accompany him to grow up, okay?"
Alan couldn't believe that he himself could talk so much.
Nora was visibly shaken by Alan's "tirade". She couldn't help but feel her eyes and nose sore and burst into tears.
She quickly wiped the tears from her face and sniffed.
"The baby is gone." Nora said hoarsely, with a painful look in her eyes. "I'm a bad mother. I'm sorry."
"No, the baby is still in your belly." Alan corrected.
"What? What did you say?" Nora clutched the quilt in disbelief.
"The baby is still in your belly. Alan's eyes fell on her lower abdomen.
"How can that be? I was in a coma." Nora quickly put her hand to her stomach to feel it.
"You did pass out, but I prevented the doctor from operating just in time." Alan took Nora's hand in his. "I'll protect you and the baby from now on."
Nora was sure that the baby was still there, and she began to cry excitedly. All her sadness and joyousness were vented out. The happiness came so fast that she could not believe it was true, but it was indeed true.
At the last moment, her heart had triumphed over her head, and she was glad the child was kept.
She still had a chance to make up for it.
Alan held Nora's head and let her lean on his shoulder, allowing her to vent her emotions. She had always been depressive and nervous. Crying was a good way to express her feelings.
"How did you know I was going to have an operation?" Nora asked, sobbing. "No one knows about this except Rose and me. I don't believe Rose could have told you about it."
"It's Freya." Alan said.
Nora was confused. Did she and Rose do something that made Freya suspicious of them?
They were so careful. How did Freya know?
"When Freya cleaned up your room, she found the abortion manual you hid under your pillow, so she guessed that you probably didn't want the baby and immediately called me and asked me to stop the abortion." Alan solved her doubts. "So you see, the God was helping you keep the baby. Don't give up. Let's give birth to it and love it."
"No..." Nora straightened up from his shoulder and still refused. "This baby is mine alone. Alan, I can't feel at ease letting you be its father. We still have to get divorced. If you really love me, agree with me."
"Nora, I love you. That's why I can't let you do it all by yourself. We are husband and wife and we share happiness and difficulties. How can we be separated?" Alan held her shoulders, forcing her to face him. "Nora, the baby is innocent, so am I. You can't leave me. I won't accept it!"
"Don't feel sorry for me. I did it all of my own free will, without any reluctance," Alan added.
