This was completely different from the times Gideon had paid other women to get abortions before. This was murder, killing his own flesh and blood.
As he thought of that cruel reality, Gideon knew he could never forgive himself. He could no longer be as cold as before, pretending that nothing had happened. Remorse was flooding every nerve in his body; all the heartbreaks he'd faced before were hardly worth mentioning compared to the pain he felt now.
Before long, Marselle's parents and brother arrived at the hospital, having heard the news. Jonathan Sterling and Ginny Potter were heartbroken to learn that their daughter had suffered an induced labor, and one so severe that her uterus was almost removed. They were furious at Gideon.
In a fit of rage, Marselle's older brother, Maurice Sterling, grabbed Gideon by the collar. He would have beaten him up had he not been stopped by the medical staff nearby.
Ethan could only bow his head and apologize.
"Mr. and Mrs. Sterling, I am deeply sorry that this has happened. I believe that Gideon is also wracked with regret right now. I hope you can give him a chance to make amends. Accidents like these do happen when young couples quarrel. He'll be sure to make it up to Marselle in the days to come."
"There will be no 'days to come'!" Ginny snapped. "I was against this marriage from the start! Jonathan and I had our eye on Donovan since the beginning—only he is worthy of our daughter!
"We never imagined that he was already married! Putting aside how you'd deceived and humiliated us, you then pushed your illegitimate son and our daughter together! If you'd suggested a legitimate son, that would've been one thing. But no, you gave us your bastard to be our son-in-law instead!"
