The doctor said, “If you decide not to keep it once you’re too far along, you’ll have to have an induced abortion, which will cause greater harm to your body.“I still recommend that you make a decision now. If you have an abortion soon after conception, the harm isn’t as great.“The next time you want to conceive, you should pay attention to the condition of your body. Don’t take medication indiscriminately, and don’t do any tests that involve radiotherapy.”Carrie was silent.She picked up her results and thanked the doctor before walking out of the clinic.After exiting, she did not leave right away and instead found a spot outside to sit down.She felt very helpless at the moment and did not know what she should do.It would have been great if her parents were still around.If her parents had not gone to jail, all this would not have happened to her. Ultimately, this was all that blind bitch’s doing.That blind bitch might have gotten married but had not gotten pregnant ye
“What’s wrong, Carrie? Don’t cry. Tell me how you’re unwell.”Trenton was shocked by Carrie’s crying.She was temperamental, unruly, and unreasonable, but she rarely cried.Carrie sobbed, “Do you even still care about me? I thought you only cared about Camryn.”“Carrie, we’re siblings. How could I not care about you? Tell me what’s wrong.”Carrie wiped her tears away and said resentfully, “Trenton, I’ve already caused so much harm to Camryn. If you still care about me, stop helping her and join hands with me to take back everything that belongs to us.“Stop listening to Camryn. Whatever she’s told you, that our family’s assets were left to her by Uncle Abel—they’re all lies.”Trenton was silent for a moment and he did not sound as anxious anymore when he spoke, “Carrie, what on earth has happened? What has Camryn done to you?”Trenton did not believe Camryn would do anything to Carrie.It was true there was no sisterly love between them, but Camryn would not take the initiativ
“Send me whatever you have.”Trenton did not say anything further.Soon, he hung up and transferred five thousand dollars to Carrie. Then, he sent her a voice note, “Carrie, a minor surgery shouldn’t cost much, so I’ve transferred five thousand dollars to you. Once it’s done, you should rest well and make sure to eat well too.”Once she received the money, she replied angrily via a voice note, “You stingy bastard, Trenton Newman, why are you getting stingier by the day? I told you to send me whatever you have. How could you only send me five thousand dollars?“You’re just treating me like a beggar. The family assets Mom and Dad gave you should amount to at least over a hundred million. You should give me half.“If you don’t want to, even fifty million will do.”Carrie claimed that all the Newman assets were her parents’ but she was in fact aware that some of it belonged to Camryn, bequeathed by Uncle Abel.Before her parents went to jail, she heard Paige say that they had arou
Despite knowing his sisters were at odds with each other, Trenton still gave Camryn a call. When Camryn received his call, she was walking down the hill with Grandma May and the rest while admiring the purple orchid trees planted along the path. She stood beside one of the blooms and answered Trenton’s call. Before her eyes, purple flowers were blossoming on the drooping branches. She could touch them just by raising her hand. Camryn had forgotten the colors of flowers after living in the dark for ten years. Ever since she regained her sight, she found the flowers in her shop extremely beautiful. Now that she saw the purple orchids, she thought they were gorgeous too. The purple orchids usually bloomed from November to April. “What’s wrong, Trenton?”Camryn asked while touching a flower, “Don’t you have classes?”“It’s the weekend, Cam.”“Oh, I forgot. I’m not even working today, yet I still asked you that.”Camryn laughed. “Aren’t you outside? Hang out with your fri
After inheriting his parents' assets, Trenton handed over everything related to business to Camryn while keeping the money himself. He was not short of money. Nevertheless, it was great that he still went to work instead of just spending the money he had. “I know, Cam.”“Okay. Go on with your reading. I’m back at Wildridge Manor. Grandma May and I are taking a stroll and admiring the flowers now.”Trenton hung up and Camryn caught up to the rest. Serenity asked, “Who were you on the phone with for so long?”“Trenton.”“Doesn’t he have classes today?”Camryn smiled. “You asked the same question I did. Today’s Saturday. We don’t have to work, let alone him. He usually tutors during the weekends, but he has a day off today because his student got sick.”Serenity laughed. “I really did forget.”They smiled at each other. After that, Camryn made a call to get someone to check if Carrie was really sick. Not long after, she received a reply. No hospital had records of Carri
“Why don’t we keep the baby, Mr. Longbottom? I’m still scared. I searched online just now, and it mentioned some people will have excessive bleeding or even die during abortion.”Carrie’s face turned pale. “I’m still young. I’m scared of death. I don’t want to die.”Mr. Longbottom flicked her forehead lightly and laughed. “Silly girl. The doctor’s still downstairs. She’s very skilled. She even saved a patient from amniotic fluid embolism during child delivery.“Nothing will happen to you with her around.“Everything has its risks, but only a very small probability of it. There’s no need to be scared. As I said, I won’t let you die because you’re still valuable to me.“Besides, you’re young and beautiful. I can’t bear seeing you die.”Mr. Longbottom pinched Carrie’s cheek. “You’ve taken contraceptives. It has side effects and will affect the baby. We can’t keep the baby. What if it is deformed or has brain damage? You’d be making the baby suffer its entire lifetime.“Let’s sa
The secretary did not say anything and left. As long as Mr. Fletcher was around, Caroline would not need her. He alone was equivalent to ten of her. Darren took off his jacket and was about to place it on Caroline’s shoulders. However, she stopped him and said, “I’m not cold.“Wear it yourself. It’s freezing at this hour. I’m not a child. I know I have to wear more clothes when it’s cold.“It wasn’t cold inside. It’s cold out here, and you aren’t wearing much.”Darren insisted on putting the jacket on Caroline, but she stopped him again. “There’s really no need, Mr. Fletcher. Wear it. Don’t catch a cold yourself.”Seeing that she refused his jacket, he had no choice but to wear it himself. Then, he escorted her back to his car. Suddenly, Caroline said, “Can you go on a walk with me, Mr. Fletcher? My head feels a little fuzzy now. I want to sober up by walking in the cold air.”Darren stopped. He looked toward her and said, “You’re too tired. You’ve been working from mo
Darren said gently, “I can go shopping with you tomorrow evening.”Caroline smiled. “You’ve been extremely busy lately, and you have more things to handle than I do. Since I rarely get a day off, you should rest too.“Just as you said, even the healthiest person won’t be able to handle working at such high intensity every day.”Darren was busier than Caroline. He had to know a lot of things. Whenever she asked him something, he needed to provide an answer and help her. As for some minor issues, he would also handle them by himself without needing her approval. That was why he was way busier than she was. “I’m fine. I’m used to it. The training I went through was harder than this, yet I’ve overcome it.”Since Caroline wanted to walk, Darren walked beside her along the path outside the hotel.He was focused on her all along. If she were to shiver, he would immediately take off his jacket and put it on her. However, Caroline did not feel cold at all. She worked indoors
