Hayden was too young to understand such dramatic and worldly events.
"I've decided to get rid of the baby and never see Ben again." Lilith had made up her mind.
Hayden froze and was instantly rendered speechless.
"You are Hayden Tate?" Lilith studied Hayden's face and realized how much he resembled Elliot.
"Yeah."
"It's summer vacation for you right now, right?" Lilith hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can you come with me to the hospital tomorrow? I am a little scared to be alone." If Avery was in Aryadelle, Lilith would have asked for her help instead.
Hayden thought that he was hallucinating. Although she was his aunt, this was still the first time they had met, and they were not even close. All that said, did she really intend to bring a child to an abortion clinic?
Hayden instinctively wanted to say no, but he then remembered how miserable his mother was when she was pregnant with him and Layla. His mother had been all alone without their father next to her.
What Lilith was going through at the moment was similar to what his mother had gone through.
He had not expected Ben to be a dirtbag as well.
"It's okay if you don't want to," Lilith said." If I can't come back from the hospital tomorrow, I will get the doctor to call on a caretaker for me-” "We will talk about this tomorrow," Hayden said sternly.
"Oh. Where's your sister?" Lilith felt slightly tense. Though Hayden was younger than her, he oozed a mature aura that seemed out of place for someone his age. She had never met Elliot before, but she instinctively knew that Elliot was like Hayden.
"She has her own thing going on." Hayden glanced at her belly.
"I've only just gotten pregnant. It's not going to show just yet."
Hayden instantly flushed.
"How old are you? Why do you look so mature?" Lilith said uncomfortably. "I don't even get this nervous in front of Ben, I wonder why I am so anxious with you..."
Lilith took her luggage
After Lilith left with her belongings, Mrs. Schaffer realized that she had left all the new clothes and jewelry they had bought together in her room.
Ben would not be in such a mess if he could paint Lilith as the absolute villain in the story.
The next morning, Lilith arrived at the hospital alongside Hayden.
Once they had the queue number, the two went to the gynecology department. The waiting area was packed with women and their husbands.
When Lilith and Hayden appeared in the gynecology department, all eyes were on them. Lilith did not notice them because she was too nervous about the surgery while Hayden regretted his decision.
Had he known that it would be this awkward, he would have never taken pity on Lilith, and he would never have accompanied her to the abortion clinic.
Half an hour later, Lilith dragged Hayden into the doctor's office.
"Your husband needs to wait outside!" said the doctor sternly as he looked at them.
