“What’s going on?!” Jessica questioned. She had apparently figured out something in a moment, “Wasn’t that money compensated by the perpetrator?”
She was injured in a car accident and a lot of money had been spent on her son’s burial expenses. Before Dolores came back, Dolores also gave her a little money, saying that it was the amount left after the money compensated by the perpetrator was used.
Dolores was not sure about what to say as it was really too hard for her to find the right word.
Dolores’s behaviour of being silent was clearly a tacit acknowledgement. Being a young woman, it was impossible for her to legally raise that amount of money. Jessica’s heart was shattered and she felt incredulous too, “You, don’t tell me you prostitute yourself…”
She grabbed Dolores’s wrist, “You can’t give birth to this baby, go to the hospital now with me!”
“Why?” Dolores tried to withdraw her hand from Jessica’s hand.
“If you give birth to the baby, your life will be ruined!” Jessica could not let Dolores give birth to this baby as she was already married. If anyone knew, her life would be devastated.
“Mom, please, let me give birth to the baby,” Dolores cried and begged.
No matter how hard Dolores begged, Jessica did not agree and was determined.
Jessica brought Dolores to the hospital that day.
If Dolores refused to go, Jessica threatened her that she would kill herself.
So, Dolores had no choice but to go with her mother. Abortion required a patient to do many check-ups. When Jessica went to get the test results, Dolores was sitting alone on a bench in the corridor with her hands covering her stomach.
Her tears streamed down uncontrollably.
She was overcome by extreme melancholy and helplessness.
“Matthew, I’m fine, don’t be so nervous, it’s just a tiny scald.” Helen smiled lightly. She was wearing a black tight skirt that wrapped her voluptuous body well with a suit jacket on her shoulders. Whereas, Matthew wore a white shirt with the cuffs rolled up, revealing his strong arms while he was holding Helen’s arm.
He looked worried, “It’s a scald. It will leave a scar if it’s not treated well.”
Helen’s body leaned onto Matthew’s chest, “If it leaves a scar, will you detest me?”
“What nonsense!”
Helen giggled, knowing that Matthew was not a superficial person.
This voice…
Dolores slowly raised her head and saw Helen leaning on Matthew and slowly approaching her from the corridor together.
They looked just like a match made in heaven.
This made her felt that she was like a clown as she had lost her virginity at a young age and even had a baby in her belly and even the identity of its father was unknown.
As she watched until losing her presence of mind, she suddenly felt a gaze that was full of amazement.
“Next patient please.” The door of the operating room opened and a nurse stood in the doorway, followed by a young woman who came out with her abdomen covered with hands while mumbling, “It’s a painless abortion, why’s it still so fucking painful?”
