Chapter 1218


    Hailey hastily returned to A City, but at the airport, she spotted Cedric, who was giving a bouquet of


    flowers to a beautiful woman with a good figure.


    She slowed her pace. In her view, the bustling airport gradually disappeared, leaving only the three of


    them.


    She saw the woman ept the flowers and suddenly tip–toe to kiss Cedric on the cheek, then she


    covered her mouth and quickly ran off.


    Cedric was dumbfounded for a second, then he also turned and left.


    When their figures disappeared from her sight, Hailey’s world was left in darkness.


    Turns out, even without Hertha, there were other women in Cedric’s life.


    The gap between them was not Hertha, but the sense of security he couldn’t provide and the trust she


    wanted to give but was blocked.


    The home Hailey wanted to provide for her child was one where the father was loyal to the mother and


    the mother fully trusted the father, but it seemed neither she nor Cedric could achieve this.


    When she got home, she sat for a while, then picked up her phone and called the obstetrician she had


    known before.


    Marina, who had just walked in with a ss of milk, was so startled by the news that Hailey was going


    to get an abortion that she almost spilled the milk.


    Hailey hung up the phone and noticed Marina had heard. She frowned slightly, “Marina, don’t tell


    anyone.”


    Marina was confused, “Hailey, you’re pregnant. Why do you want to have an abortion?”


    Hailey didn’t answer Marina, she just pulled back the covers and flopped onto the bed. She was so


    exhausted both physically and mentally.


    Seeing her so tired, Marina, although full of questions, held her tongue. She put down what she was


    holding and quietly left the room.


    Cedric had waited a long time at the airport but didn’t see Hailey, so he urgently called Marina.


    “Marina, didn’t you say Hailey is on the eleven o’clock flight? Howe I didn’t see her?”


    Marina, who had just left the room, remembered that she had forgotten to tell Cedric.


    “Hailey is already home, she’s at the house.”


    Cedric could only get information about Hailey’s whereabouts from Marina as his calls were still being


    blocked by Hailey.


    Hearing that she was already home, he felt a bit relieved, then quickly turned and headed out of the


    airport.


    By the time he got there, Hailey was already asleep. Maybe she was too tired, she was sleeping so


    deeply that she didn’t wake up even after he sat in the room for a long time.


    Cedric thought to himself, there’s no rush, she should have a good sleep first, and he’ll talk to her


    tomorrow.


    He got up quietly and left the room, just as he stepped out, he saw Marina pacing anxiously outside the


    door.


    “Marina, what’s wrong?”


    Marina stopped, looked at Cedric, seemed to have something to say but held back.


    “Marina, if there’s something, just say it.”


    “I…” Marina guessed that the baby might be Cedric’s, but remembering Hailey’s warning, she hesitated


    for a long time and eventually did not tell Cedric.


    “I was just worried because Hailey went straight to bed when she got home, I’m afraid she might be


    unwell, so… I’m a little worried…” Marina bing Hailey’s nanny was also a twist of fate. She was


    brought home by Hailey when she was in trouble.


    During the most difficult three years of Hailey’s life, Marina was always by her side, taking good care of


    her, and their rtionship grew deeper.


    Hailey often treated her like a mother, and Marina, who had no children, also saw Hailey as her own


    child.


    Since she was her child, most of the time, she was considering Hailey’s feelings, which Cedric also


    understood.


    “Don’t worry, she’s just tired. She’ll be fine after a good sleep.”

    Cedric asked Marina to check on Hailey from time to time, then he turned and left. He had some


    business to take care of at his


    Watching his tall figure walk away, Marina felt distressed. If she kept this from Cedric, she would be


    betraying him. But if she told Cedric, she would be betraying Hailey. Marina felt terrible.


    11:09


    The next morning, Hailey left the house early, not even giving Marina a chance to talk to her.


    Marina held her phone, hesitating whether to call Cedric.


    Hailey arrived at the hospital,pleted all the preoperative examinations, andy on the operating


    table.


    Before the surgery. Hailey lifted her hand once again to touch her t abdomen.


    “Baby, forgive my decision. I don’t want you to be bom as a child without a father.”


    She knew the pain of being without parents, even if her child had a mother, without a father, life would


    be missing an important love.


    “Ms. Vulpe, we’re going to put you under anesthesia now.”


    Hearing the doctor’s words, Hailey slowly put her hand down.


    Just as the anesthetic was about to be injected, the door to the operating room was kicked open.


    Cedric walked in without expression, grabbed the anesthesiologist’s hand, and forcefully pushed him


    away.


    “Sir, this is an operating room, please leave!”


    “Get out!”


    The nurse who spoke was startled, the other doctors wanted to call security, but the bodyguards Cedric


    brought with him chased them out of the operating room.
