6 weeks.
The time coincided almost exactly to when he had come back from South Korea, And the time when Ella was violated.
...
Which meant that there was huge possiblty that he wasn't the baby's father!
He clenched his fist after he realized this.
He had been trying hard to make Ella pregnant again. However, he hadn't succedded for several months.
Yet she became pregnant after she was violated. There was no way that the baby was his.
Looking at Samuel's face, she asked out of curiosity, "Samuel, you don't look happy about it?"
How could he be happy? If the baby was his, he would definitely have been much happier than Ella.
It took a lot for him to accept the fact that Ella had been violated. How would he accept the report that he was not the baby's father, later on, after Ella's nine months of pregnancy?
Hence, he made the decision. The baby must be aborted.
"It must be aborted." He said, coldly. Upon hearing these four plain words, Ella felt like it had been thunder and lightning from the sky.
Ella stared at Samuel's unwavering eyes. A few minutes later, Ella twitched the corner of her mouth and said with heaviness, "Samuel... What, did you just say?" She tried to convince herself that she must have misheard. How could Samuel ever say such words?
"Ella, it must be aborted." With the agony in his heart restrained, he repeated it.
Ella was speechless. If she misheard the first time, then how about this time?
Her beloved Samuel just said that he wanted their baby aborted.
Feeling limp, she asked as tears cascaded down her cheeks, "Why?"
Samuel had retrieved a cigarette by this time and was smoking heavily. A while later, he replied, "Honey, you must listen to me this time.
You must be obedient."
How ironic it was! He turned out to be so cruel, wanting his own baby aborted.
"Why?"
"Ella, we can't have this baby. Listen to me, once you recover, we can have another baby later."
Those words echoed in Ella's mind.
Ella suddenly wanted to laugh out loud.
"It must be aborted.
You need to recover now. We can have another baby later."
"Hahahahahaha." She burst into laughter. "Am I just a silly girl to you?" She wondered.
How could she be fooled by such a childish reason!
Samuel almost wanted to take back the words he said when he saw Ella's face turning pale.
Stubbing out the cigarette, Samuel walked towards Ella and held her in his arms.
"Ella, you must listen to me this time."
"No, no. I will not!" Ella suddenly punched his chest really hard
She felt like such a fool. She had believed in him and his love for her. "Ella, I love you so much."
If Samuel did love her, why would he tell her to abort their child?
It was so ridiculous!
"Calm down and listen to me." Samuel intended to talk to her.
However, she turned around and dashed out of the office.
Samuel took his car keys and cellphone immediately and ran after her.
Shocked, the several assistants outside watched the crying Ella running out. "What happened to Mrs. Shao?" They wondered. Then they saw Mr. Shao running out as well.
