The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 411

"How could you be out here? You should be in your room resting."? Charles was upset and yet shocked to see Autumn in the doctor's office. "Autumn, this child will be aborted, as we have decided that after carefully considering your present poor health. We will have another baby when you are physically and psychologically fit. Please do consider my advice."

"Irrespective of whatever is said and done, I will keep this baby!"? Autumn remained adamant. Supported by Chris, Autumn moved towards the doctor and pleaded for her child's life. "It is my earnest hope that I could carry my baby in my womb until delivery. My revered doctor, I place all my hopes upon you to do what you must to keep it healthy!"

Autumn was too weak to speak any further. Upon seeing Autumn out of breath, Charles lost no time to comfort her, "Autumn, for the time being, it is more important to cure your illness than to keep this baby, otherwise, you could stand losing your life let alone bringing life."

"I am fully aware of the risk."? Autumn spoke to Charles as she began to sob, "I know I have been mentally unsound and have been bringing you trouble and hurting you. I feel immense regret about it. But this baby.. I can not afford to abort it. It is a life and I am the mother."

"You are being quite unreasonable!" Charles found it impossible to meet Autumn's wishes, as Autumn was, at that moment, too feeble to carry her baby any longer.

Chris and Sam added their advice, "Autumn, you better abort this child now. You will have another one when you regain your health, which would also be healthy for the baby."

"Autumn, as Chris suggested, you must take care of your health so as to produce a healthy baby."? Sam regretted remaining silent about Autumn's abnormal behavior for the first time, which worsened the situation where Autumn was caught in now.

"Thanks for your kindness and concern. I understand your reasons and motivations." Autumn smiled at those present there. "But this baby shares my blood and flesh, a bond inexorable. There is nothing that will make me change decision and kill it. I need your fullest support as this may be my weakest hour."

"But what if....." Charles did not relent on the thought of beating Autumn unconscious before giving her an induced abortion, however... Autumn's following words put him in a dilemma.

Autumn spoke to Charles in an emotional tone, "Charles, as you know, my childhood was filled with hardships and ordeals, absent of Wendy's love and care. Wendy bore her grudge against me right onto her death. Now I consider it a blessing to have my own baby towards whom I will render all my love. How could I.. kill it without mercy.

Charles, it is also your baby. I doubt your willingness to lose it." ?Autumn's words shook Charles's certainty. He began to reconsider his decision in silence.

She was carrying their first child. As it dawned upon him, he was... growing more and more hesitant to lose it!

"Autumn, your desire to keep this baby is understood but risks both your health.... It may come into this world with birth defects; you too would be mentally unsound to support it." Charles made his last attempt to change Autumn's decision, however, if Autumn remained resolute... he would lend his fullest support and help her till recovery and delivery.

"I will accept my baby, even if it is physically handicapped." Autumn's decision stood strong through whatever everyone had to say.

At that moment, Charles also gave in and sought the doctor's suggestion, "Is there an effective solution to her condition?"

The doctor was somewhat puzzled but promised to try his best.
