Annabeth Cates shook her head before removing Josh Batton’s hand from her back. She immediately shook her head. “No… I’m fine. I feel better now… Don’t mind me, Josh…” she said.
Right then, Annabeth felt as if her heart was getting heavier and heavier.
What would she do if she really ended up being pregnant?
Would she tell Josh about it when the time came?
No…
She absolutely couldn’t tell him.
Based on his personality, he’d take up responsibility toward her if he found out.
Josh would be forced to stay with someone he didn’t love for the rest of his life.
Apart from that, if Josh were exposed for having a child with his assistant at the prime of his career, his career would certainly be affected…
Josh would be even unhappier then.
Annabeth didn’t want to be selfish by making Josh unhappy.
Josh deserved to spend the rest of his life in joy and harmony…
After thinking about it for a while, Annabeth made up her mind.
If she really became pregnant, she would definitely get an abortion.
This was the best outcome for both herself and Josh.
What happened between them that day was an accident, to begin with.
She couldn’t allow that accident to develop into anything further.
Sensing that Annabeth kept getting distracted, Josh subconsciously felt that she was still in physical discomfort.
Josh immediately cocked his head and moved closer to her face. “Are you sure you’re fine? Why don’t we go to the hospital first?” He looked at her curiously.
Annabeth shook her head again. “I’m honestly fine… Don’t worry.”
