Chapter 846 Seek Help


    Anthony was absolutely taken aback by the unexpected encounter by the two strangerdies who just


    happened to pop up out of the blue iming themselves to be Sue''s family. He cast a nce at Peggy


    and said, "No. She didn''t owe me any money."


    Peggy felt confused and she looked at Anthony with curious eyes. Anthony was somehow feeling


    uneasy as the creased rustic face of Peggy loomed over his face with intriguing eyes. As he was guilty


    of his conduct towards Sue and wanted topensate for it, then the sudden appearance of her family


    made him really confused. After staring at his face for a while, Peggy blurted, "So what are you doing


    here, then? Do you love her?"


    Peggy inspected Anthony carefully and added, "Let me tell you one thing very clearly. If you want to


    court Sue, you must take my permission first, otherwise..."


    "Aunt..." Anthony interrupted her. He looked at her and said, "Sue and I are justmon friends. I was


    just passing by her office and wanted to say hello, but somehow she tried to avoid me. I hope you can


    ask her why she did so."


    Anthony paused for a while and said politely, "I have more important things to deal with. I will take my


    leave now. Bye Aunt."


    "Wait..." Peggy tried to stop him so that she could intrude further but he just took quick and long strides


    and disappeared before she could say anything more.


    Anthony somehow reached the corner of thene where he could evade the eyes of Peggy and Doris


    and gasped for breath while his heart was pounding fast against his chest.


    Indeed, his rtionship with Sue was not something that he could tell anybody. He hade here to


    regret for his behavior towards her. He felt that he just owed too much to Sue. So he wanted to talk with


    her and find out whether he couldpensate her in anyway to make him feel less guilty.


    Also Laura insisted on inviting Sue to have dinner with them. Hence, he hade to invite her for a


    family dinner.


    He had no other choice but toe to herpany.


    But he didn''t expect to meet Sue''s other family members there. Anthony told a lie about his rtionship


    with Sue just to avoid being harassed by them.


    If they knew how unfairly he had treated Sue, they would definitely not treat him with respect.


    Doris and Peggy exchanged looks with each other as Anthony left. They found his words absolutely


    unreliable. Doris nced at Peggy and said, "Aunt Peggy, the rtionship between this man and Sue


    can''t be just so simple as he said. He must have lied to us."


    Peggy turned to Doris and snapped back with a scornful expression, "Okay, enough! That''s is none of


    your business. It''s time for us to go to the hospital now. Let''s go!"


    "I... I am not feeling well..." Doris whimpered as Peggy urged her to go to the hospital.


    Doris'' reluctance to go to the hospital triggered suspicion in Peggy''s mind. She thought of the words


    spoken by Sheryl about Doris'' belly. She shuddered at the thought of Doris keeping a secret from her.


    Peggy sneered at her and insisted, "Don''t worry. You can have a check up scheduled in the hospital.


    Let''s go now. Don''t waste time."


    Now Doris had no choice but to head towards the hospital. She kept quiet all the while till they reached


    the hospital and kept scheming various ways to hide her secret from Peggy. As they reached the


    hospital, Peggy paid all the fee for Doris'' checkup. Her only purpose was to confirm the correct tenure


    of her pregnancy to rule out the suspicion that was nted in her mind by Sheryl.


    Despite Peggy''s repeated insistence, Doris managed to enter the examination room alone. "Doctor..."


    She grasped the doctor''s hand when the door was shut, begged with tearful eyes and bent down to fall


    on his feet. "Can you help me?"


    "Stand up. Don''t bend forward in this condition." The doctor hoisted her up and asked, "Tell me what I


    can do to help you."


    "Thanks." Doris wiped her tears and said to the doctor, "The woman waiting outside is my mother-in-


    know there are still many people preferring boys than girls and my mother-inw is one of them. She


    told me that if the baby is a girl, she will ask me to abort it."


    "What?" The doctor felt very sorry for Doris to have such narrow minded family. "How can she treat you


    like this? Just tell me how I can help you."


    Doris heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the doctor had been deceived by her words. She wiped


    her face and said, "My mother-inw is a countrywoman. She knows little about the medical


    technology. I lied to her that the baby is just for four months. And its sex can only be verified after six


    months."


    Doris pulled the doctor''s sleeve and begged, "Doctor, I know I shouldn''t tell a lie. But... I really have no


    choice. I just want to keep my baby."


    She rubbed her belly gently and added, "Two monthster, the baby is big enough and there will be no


    chance for abortion any more. In this way, my baby can be saved."


    She looked at the doctor nervously and said, "Doctor, I beg you to help me. Otherwise, I don''t know


    what to do."


    "But..." The doctor arched her brow.


    "Don''t worry, I''ll take all the me if it gets exposed." Doris promised to the doctor confidently, "I won''t


    cause any trouble for you, I promise. But my baby''s life can only be saved by your words. So please


    help me."


    The doctor was moved by Doris'' earnest words and nodded her head in agreement.


    "Fine. I''ll tell a lie for you." The doctor looked at Doris with serious eyes and warned, "But I will do it


    only for once. I won''t do it again."


    "Okay, thanks a lot." Doris was so happy that she promised the doctor, "Don''t worry. I won''t bother you


    in future."


    Then the doctor began examining the condition of the baby. "Your baby is very healthy. Don''t worry,"


    she said with a reassuring smile.


    "Okay, thanks." Doris heaved a sigh of relief. And just at that moment Peggy entered the room. "Is the


    examination over?" Peggy asked.


    "Yes, it is done." Doris nodded slightly with a gentle smile on her face and said to Peggy, "Mom, let''s go


    home."


    "Hold on!" Peggy held Doris back and spoke in a stern voice, "There is no hurry. I want to know some


    more details about the baby." Then she turned to the doctor and said, "Doctor, can you please tell me


    how old the baby is at the moment?"


    "I have already told you that..." Doris pretended to urge Peggy to leave but Peggy cast an angry nce

    at her and inquired, "What is your problem? Can''t I talk to the doctor? Is there anything you are hiding


    from me?"


    "I..." Doris gave a bitter smile and turned her eyes to the doctor for help.


    The doctor nced at Peggy and her trust became stronger on Doris. She agreed that Peggy was a


    difficult woman. She felt pitiful for Doris. She said to Peggy, "Why are you so rude to your daughter-in-


    stage of pregnancy and she needs to have a peaceful mood. Please take good care of her and call me


    if you have any problem."


    "Okay, I will. I feel reassured then." Peggy let out a deep sigh of relief and a smile broke on her face.


    The doctor''s words assured her. Now she could put her worries to rest. Doris marked the changes on


    Peggy''s face from the corner of her eyes and shared a reassuring smile with the doctor gesturing her


    gratitude.


    Peggy felt restless since she had a talk with Sheryl. But now she was relieved.
