Clara shook her head firmly. “Let go, Ryan. This isn’t going to work on me this time. I’m done cleaning up your messes.”

Ryan held on tight, stubbornly refusing to let go, staying on his knees with no sign of standing up.

Sarah, watching from the sidelines, couldn’t hold back her anger. “Clara, what’s wrong with you? Ryan’s your brother! Remember what your dad said before he passed? And now you’re just going to abandon him? If Johnny could see this, he wouldn’t forgive you!”

Ryan shot her a sharp look. “Shut up.”

Sarah huffed, turning away. “I’m just worried about you. I don’t want my child’s father begging on his knees all the time.”

Clara cut him off. “Then have her get rid of the baby.”

Sarah burst out, furious. “Clara, how can you, as a woman, suggest an abortion? Do you have no heart? Ryan is your brother, and you’re part of this child’s family too. How can you be so heartless? I’m telling you now, I’m not having an abortion. I’m having this baby!”
