“Mr. Labbe, how about we keep this child? I’m still scared. I just checked online and found that some people experience severe bleeding and even death after miscarriage. I’m still young, I don’t want to die, and I’m also very afraid of death.”
Carrie said. Her face turned pale.
Mr. Labbe flicked her forehead and said with a smile, “Silly girl, I told you that the doctor is still downstairs. She has very good medical skills. She has rescued women who had amniotic fluid embolism during childbirth. With her here, nothing will happen to you.
Many things are a bit dangerous, but the chance of them happening is very small. Don’t be afraid. I told you that you are still useful to me, and I won’t let you die. You are so young and beautiful, I can’t bear to let you die.”
Mr. Labbe also pinched her face and said, “You have taken birth control pills, which have serious side effects and have an impact on the child. This child cannot be kept. What if he is born with a deformity or a child with cerebral palsy? You are harming him for the rest of his life.
If there is a problem after birth, if you abandon the child, it is a crime of abandonment. Nowadays, surveillance is everywhere. If you throw the child away, others will be able to find out who threw the child away. Miscarriage is a bit painful; just bear with it, and it will pass. Otherwise, after you recover, you’d better go for ligation surgery, or you can get a ring.”
Carrie wanted to say that it was you, an old man, who should perform the sterilization surgery, but she didn’t dare to say it.
Afraid of being strangled to death by Mr. Labbe.
“Get up and take the medicine. It won’t take long before you can get out of bed tomorrow. Oh, by the way, let me tell you something. Your blind sister asked someone to go to the hospital to inquire about your medical treatment. Fortunately, you did not use your identity as Miss Newman to seek medical treatment, so she did not inquire.”
Carrie said calmly, “I guess it was my brother who begged her to go to her. I was in the hospital and called my brother to tell him that I was not feeling well and needed a minor operation, and asked him to transfer money to me. That stingy guy only transferred $5,000 to me.”
Mr. Labbe smiled and said, “You are not short of money now. However, occasionally asking for money from your brother and making trouble with your blind sister can dispel her suspicion of Mrs. Labbe. Get up and take your medicine.”
Carrie knew she couldn’t escape this outcome, so she had to sit up, take the cup of warm water from Mr. Labbe’s hand and the medicine the doctor prescribed for her, and take the medicine under Mr. Labbe’s watchful eyes.
After Mr. Labbe made sure that she had taken the medicine, he comforted her with a few more words and transferred a sum of money to her, saying it was for her nutritional expenses, allowing her to rest at home for a week after the miscarriage. This week would be like confinement. If you are like that, try not to go out and avoid being exposed to the cold wind.
