“There is no need, Mr. Reynold, it’s just a common cold. I’ll just get some over the counter medicine afterward and I’ll be fine.” Charlotte quickly turned him down.
Mr. Reynold’s discerning eyes stared at her and Charlotte became uneasy under his glare and bit her lower lip. “Your nose is already blocked. How can you simply take medicine?” Mr. Reynolds sighed softly and then waved her to approach him.
Charlotte walked towards him in several steps and then stopped cautiously.
“Remember to buy the medicine and once you get better, go to the office to see Kennedy.”
Charlotte nodded, “Yes, Mr. Reynold.”
“Okay.” Mr. Reynold nodded in content, “Go ahead.”
When she left the Moore residence, Charlotte called Diana and Diana came over quickly within twenty minutes. Upon getting into the car, Diana asked, “Have you thought about it? Do you want an abortion?”
Charlotte didn’t say anything and put on her seat-belt quietly.
“Why aren’t you answering me?”
Diana turned to look at Charlotte and saw that she sat expressionlessly. She frowned and said, “What happened to you? Didn’t you think carefully after going back last night? Don’t tell me that you want to keep this child?”
As she heard, Charlotte held her abdomen with her hands, “This is a life. Isn’t it too cruel to abort it?”
“Hey, Charlotte, are you kidding me? Aren’t your parents cruel when they made you replace Christina to marry a crippled? Your ex-husband wasn’t cruel when he kept a mistress and threw you out of the house? If you keep this child, the Moore family will not accept you, and will your family want you if you were to go back to them?”
Diana’s words exposed everything clearly for her and Charlotte lifted her head to look ahead.
“Listen to me, abort the child. Now the Moore family is your only support. Furthermore, the origin of this child is uncertain. Who knows what it will be like when it is born?” Diana practically decided for Charlotte.
“I have said all that I can as your best friend. The rest need to be decided by you.”
Charlotte thought about what Kennedy said last night. He mentioned that he will give her three days to decide but it wasn’t certain if he would. Then… she should go for an abortion if she wished to remain in the Moore family?
If she were to leave the Moore family, she also can’t go back to the Wilson family.
As she thought about this, she closed her eyes painfully and said, “Let’s go.”
“You’ve decided? Then I’ll send you to the hospital.” Diana turned the car around and said, “If this child was from the person you love, then I won’t object if you want to keep it. But this was a stranger’s and you don’t know if it will bring you happiness or further problems. The best way is to abort it.”
Following that, both of them kept silent all the way to the hospital.
Charlotte was very depressed while waiting for her number to be called as Diana comforted her.
Eventually, it was her turn and the doctor frowned when he examined her. “Ms. Wilson, it looks like the inner wall of your uterus is very thin and you will suffer severe bleeding during an abortion. We don’t recommend that you have an abortion.”
Charlotte frowned when she heard and Diana was astonished when she heard it, “She can’t abort?”
“Yes, it’s not recommended.” The doctor sighed softly, “Consider it carefully. A severe bleeding is not something to be taken lightly. Go back and consider it carefully before coming back.”
Diana frowned deeply when they left the hospital, “What will you do if you can’t abort? Good lord, how can it be so vexing?”
