    Chapter 434


    The next day, after everyone else had returned home, Cynthia moved back to her own house with


    Jonathan and Shirley. With both Cynthia and Shirley off work and school respectively, the family spent


    some much-needed quality time together.


    Three days passed quickly. One sunny afternoon, as Cynthia was enjoying the sun on the backyard


    swing, she received a call from Ellora


    With her eyes closed, basking in thefortable sunlight, Cynthia answered, “Hello, Ellora.”


    “Cynthia, I’ve made a decision,” came the response.


    “What?”


    “I’ve decided not to keep the baby.” Ellora’s words left Cynthia stunned.


    Sitting up straight and opening her eyes, Cynthia asked, “Why?” Ellora had made it clear how much


    she cared about this child. Why the sudden change?


    “Talia called me and got me to listen to a recording. The recording was of her telling Chyler’s parents


    about my pregnancy,” Ellora exined, sounding suddenly lucid


    Cynthia paused, remembering what Chyler had told her that day.


    “Later, Chyler’s mom also called me. I don’t want my child to be born into a tug-of-war, nor do I want


    them to live amidst schemes and maniptions.” Ellora did not borate on the call’s content but


    shared her feelings


    She was well aware that children under two were to be cared for by their mothers and could be taken


    away by the father as they grew older. However, she had little trust in the Young family. The uncertainty


    of the future was overwhelming, and she feared that her child might me her for bringing him into this


    world.


    “Do you love this child?” Cynthia queried.


    Ellora remained silent. How could she not love him? This was her first child.


    “I can handle the Young family for you. You need to figure out the rest. No matter what your decision is,


    I will respect it,” Cynthia pledged, hoping she would make a thoughtful decision. Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    As a woman, she found it heart-wrenching to abort her own child. After all, it was a life. However, from


    a rational perspective, once Ellora bore this child, it meant she would forever be unable topletely


    sever ties with Chyler, the father of the child. Regardless, Cynthia vowed to support any decision Ellora


    made.


    “Take your time and think about it. Don’t think about it for a few days. The decision you make now will


    be influenced by that previous phone call,” Cynthia consoled her.


    “Cynthia


    “Don’t be scared. Just follow your heart and forget about the other stuff,” Cynthia reassured.


    Ellora did not know how to choose. She selfishly wanted to keep the child but truly feared that the child


    might me her one day. The words of Chyler’s parents still echoed in her mind. Would the child feel


    unjust when he found out he could have been rich but instead was just an ordinary person because he


    was with her?


    “I’m scared that he will me me for bringing him into this world without his consent,” Ellora finally


    confessed her deepest


    fear.


    During pregnancy, women tend to worry and contemte more than usual. She was truly scared and


    anxious


    “The moment he appeared in your belly, he chose toe into this world. If he truly didn’t want to


    come, he had more than nine months to decide to leave,” Cynthia reasoned clearly.


    Hearing this, Ellora felt as though her mind had cleared.


    “Is that true?” she asked cautiously.

    “Absolutely,” Cynthia affirmed and added anotherforting thought, “Children are shaped by


    upbringing. As long as you guide him well from a young age, he’ll be a sensible, good child.”


    Children were purer than adults Cynthia believed Ellora could raise a good child.
