After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 175

"What?"

Aria asked again, as if she hadn't heard Alden Reaves correctly.

"Get an abortion," he repeated.

The atmosphere instantly froze.

Aria instinctively glanced at Raphael.

The Evernight family placed great importance on heirs. If her professor said something like that, what if the family retaliated against him…

But Raphael remained calm from beginning to end.

"Dr. Reaves, the pregnancy is Aria's personal matter. We have no right to interfere."

Alden Reaves snorted. "I see this meal isn't happening. Aria, if you want to continue with this research, you need to get rid of that child now, before we get started!"

"Professor, why?" Aria didn't understand. "I promise I won't slow down the project!"

Alden Reaves took a deep breath and looked at Raphael. "You should step out. I need to speak with Aria alone."

Raphael nodded. "Alright."

He left so promptly that Alden Reaves gave him a second look.

Once the door closed, Alden Reaves spoke immediately. "Do you know about the Evernight family's genetic disease?"

Aria was taken aback. "I do."

"Then why did you get pregnant? I can guarantee you, if that child in your belly is born, it will have the genetic disease!"

"Do you know why the Evernight family is so desperate for children?"

"Isn't it because the genetic disease has caused their family line to dwindle..."

Alden Reaves sighed, slumping into a chair, looking weary. "I know you're a soft-hearted person. If you're pregnant, you'll want to keep the child. Blood is thicker than water, after all. But have you thought about this child's future?"

"If this child is lucky, he might be like Gideon, with the disease remaining dormant, and he'll seem like a normal person."
