Grace did not quite understand the ultimate purpose of Sonia's gamble.
Did she really want to express her love for Simon by sending him to prison?
A love like this was hard to understand.
Grace frowned and looked at Sonia for a brief moment. Then, she shook her head and said, "I can't understand your feelings and your real purpose of doing so. If you can't tell us clearly, there's nothing for us to discuss. We can't help you."
"Grace, I'm telling the truth." Sonia was a little anxious when she saw that Grace was about to leave. "I'm helping Simon and myself."
"It's really strange for you to help him by sending him to prison."
"I'm pregnant." Sonia looked at Grace, "I can't get rid of the baby."
Grace was shocked and saw that Sonia's eyes were filled with tears.
She looked at Grace and did not speak for some time. She gulped as if she was trying hard to control her emotions.
"You are pregnant?" She looked at Sonia's belly subconsciously.
Sonia nodded and gently rested her hand on her stomach. "I just found out about this too. I wanted to get rid of it, but the doctor said that I went through such procedures too many times and advised me not to do so."
Grace was taken aback again.
"I've gotten rid of babies for Simon before. This would be the fourth time." Sonia said, "I know Marry can't get pregnant. She and I have gotten ourselves into this game. Meeting Simon was meant to be. I can't run from him."
Grace took a deep breath.
The news was rather surprising.
Sonia's mood became low and she felt very unhappy. "I am afraid that I can't be a mother for the rest of my life if I get rid of this child. That's why I want to keep this child."
Grace looked at her and sighed. "Even if you keep your child, Simon may not be with you."
"I didn't plan to be with him either but now that I am pregnant, I cannot get rid of it. I have to make plans for the child." Sonia glanced at Grace again. There was determination in her eyes. "How will I know the results if I don't try hard enough?"
Grace was very surprised at her determination.
"Just like you." Sonia said softly, "You didn't think about all this when you gave birth to your children, did you? But now, you've met Mr. Jones and your family has reunited."
Grace wanted to say that not everyone was as lucky as her.
However, Sonia's luck could only be determined in the future.
Everything was meaningless at that moment.
"Grace, I think you can understand my feelings."
Grace was speechless instantly.
That was true.
As a mother, she understood that maternal instincts would spark the moment she knew she had a child.
She couldn't get rid of her child as well.
"I understand where you are coming from." Grace nodded. "But you have criminal records. I can't believe everything you say. To be honest, I really don't know why you came to me. What is your purpose?"
"I'm here to help you send Simon to prison. I'm also here to ask you to show us mercy and leave a way out for us. I will help him as much as I can in the days to come. He'll become a better person." Sonia looked at them with sincerity in her eyes.
Grace didn't say anything.
Heinz said, "Miss Yeager, you have a really good plan, but why do you think we should accept your proposal?"
"Mr. Jones, I don't want to lie to you." Sonia said, "I think you are the one who wants Simon to be in prison the most."
"Of course," Heinz admitted openly. "He should be in prison. I can't wait for him to stay in prison for the rest of his life."
Grace glanced at him.
