Chapter 924
When Stephen and Abigail received a call from their daughter, they hurried to Women’s Health
Hospital, only to see her lying on the bed, receiving an IV drip.
“What happened? Why are you suddenly hospitalized? Is there something wrong with the baby?”
Abigail asked hurriedly.
Women’s Health Hospital was the best gynecology and obstetrics hospital in the city. There were
many famous experts.
“I have to stay in the hospital for a while to keep the baby. I got into a car ident this morning, and
the baby is not in good condition,” Lillian said.
“What? A car ident?” Stephen and Abigail were surprised. “And you only called us now when the
car ident was this morning?” It was already past four o’clock in the afternoon.
Stephen and Abigail were immediately concerned about their daughter’s injuries from the car
ident. They breathed a sigh of relief after knowing that their daughter just hit the bushes and her
body was only bruised by the impact of the collision.
“How is the baby?” Abigail asked.
“Not so good. The baby’s heartbeat is very weak, and there is a possibility of miscarriage at any
time. The doctor asked me to stay in the hospital for observation for three days first and receive
progesterone shots,” Lillian replied, her other hand, which was not hooked up to the IV, resting on
her abdomen all the time.
That day, after Callum left, she had asked the doctor to schedule an abortion.
However, when the nurse took the consent form and asked her to sign it, she couldn’t do so. Tears
kept pouring out from her eyes, wetting the consent form.
In the end, she didn’t sign it but transferred to another hospital. She went to Women’s Health
Hospital and asked the doctor to keep her baby.
Perhaps that is what it’s like to be a mother. Although she told herself rationally that it would be best
for her to have an abortion, she was reluctant to do so and didn’t want to kill a possible little life like
this. Unless the child chose to leave her, she thought that as long as the child remained in her
womb for even a day, she was obligated to protect and nurture this life.
“Your baby is not doing well now. Get Callum toe over. Didn’t he say he would take
responsibility for it?” Stephen asked.
“Dad, Callum and I are over. He won’te to me again in the future. This child belongs to me
alone. I will be responsible for this child myself!” Lillian replied.
Stephen and Abigail were surprised again.
“Does he not want to take responsibility again? Is he going to be like before? I’ll go and look for
him…” Stephen said angrily.
“No!” Lillian stopped his father. “Dad, I don’t want to be with him! I don’t need him to be responsible
for this child. This child is mine!”
Startled, Stephen and Abigail looked at each other. Finally, Abigail asked, “You want to raise this
child all by yourself?”
Lillian put his hand on her abdomen and said, “As long as the child can be saved, I want to raise it
alone.” “But…” Abigail looked troubled. After all, if her daughter was unmarried and had children, it
would be difficult for her to find a good partner in the future.
She had thought that her daughter and Callum would be together again, but she didn’t expect that
things would suddenly turn out like this.
“You can’t let go of what happened back then, can you?” Abigail asked.
Lillian knew that her mother had misunderstood her, but she went along with it. “Mom, Callum and
I.are not from the same world. Rather than forcing ourselves to remain together for the sake of the
child, it would be better to sever ties now. My only regret is that you and Dad may have to bear the
brunt of the

gossip when the timees.”
“Oh, you, your dad and I are old. We don’t care about any gossip. We just hope you can live a
better life in the future,” Abigail said, her eyes red.
Giving birth to this child unmarried represented a difficult path and future chosen by her daughter.
Lillian’s nose stung. Over the years, her parents had been worried about her, but she had failed to
give back anything.
Stephen looked at his daughter and said seriously, “If this baby can be saved, will you really give
birth to it without regret? Raising a child is not the same as raising a pet. You’ll have a hard life
ahead.” Lillian took a deep breath and said, “I’ve made up my mind. I won’t regret it. As long as the
child wants me to be their mommy, I will not give up on them.”
“Well then, have the baby. Our family can afford to raise a child!” Stephen said. Since his daughter
had made such a decision, he would take good care of her and the unborn child as a father and a
grandfather. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.
Lillian burst into tears again.
“Don’t cry! It’ll be harder to keep the baby if you keep crying. Stop crying now.” Abigail quickly wiped
her daughter’s tears.
“Okay, I’ll stop. I won’t cry!” Lillian tried hard to stop her tears.
Now, she only hoped that the baby in her stomach could be saved.
After learning about Lillian’s hospitalization, Rosalie rushed to the hospital.
She was stunned to know that her friend and Callum werepletely over. The day before
yesterday, when she and Lillian parted ways, she thought Lillian would be with Callum, but it turned
out to be the opposite.
“What happened?” Rosalie asked.
“We’re not going to stay together. We’re not suitable for each other.” Lillian smiled bitterly. “But I will
give birth to this baby. Rosalie, I think I can understand why Amelia chose to give birth to Aiden in
the past. Maybe I will raise the child alone in the future like Amelia.”
“You’re not alone. You have your parents and me. Don’t forget that your child will have to
acknowledge me as their godmother!” Rosalie said. “Do you remember what you said to me? If you
have a child in the future, then your child is my child too!”
Lillian was stunned. When she heard those words from her friend, memories of those days came
flooding back.
Her eyes turned red and she said, “Yeah, you’re my baby’s mommy, too.”
“All right, you don’t have to worry about anything. I’m here. Lillian, I’m here now,” Rosalie said
seriously. She would protect Lillian from being hurt again.
When Rosalie came out of the hospital, Jonathan came to pick her up in person.
Taking in her worried look, he asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Lillian says that she and Callum arepletely over. She ns to raise her child alone,” Rosalie
said with a sad look.
Jonathan raised his eyebrows, seemingly a little surprised. “Did Callum agree?”
“Yeah. Callum promised Lillian that they would have nothing to do with each other in the future,”
Rosalie said. “Lillian seemed determined to be with Callum again the day before yesterday. How did
it end up like this?”
