Chapter 195
"You can leave now." Aria waved her hand and sent Minnie off.
Minnie headed downstairs but she suspected something was going on. What secrets were Aria
hiding? It seemed that she cared a lot about Marissa''s phone call, what would it be? There was
some mystery in this! She should figure it out and make good use of it. Maybe, she could make a
fortune out of it!
Thinking of this, she touched the thick stack of cash in her pocket and grinned. This was indeed a
good day for her.
After Minnie left, Aria grew restless.
The heavy snow these few days had the city covered in white. On the other hand, Jenna had been
throwing up even with an empty stomach. The pregnancy symptoms gave her no time and effort to
think about anything else. She was numb and hollow, the winter coldness and loneliness
prating through the skin into her heart.
Hannah was busy with work every day, squeezing little time to take care of her. Even so, Jenna
could not tell her mother nor anyone else about her pregnancy, enduring the pain alone.
The ache drilled into her heart as she touched her belly. She had be ghastly thin over the
course of a couple of days.
One day, she put on the thick sable fur coat, hid her face in, and went to the Maternal and Child
Health Hospital.
Jenna pleaded to the baby in her stomach, apologizing over and over. She had no intention to give
birth nor was she in a great position to do so. She prayed that her child would not me her for
being cruel.
The child came at the wrong time. She could only make such a decision!
After queuing up for the check- in, she took heavy steps up to the consultation room on the third
floor.
She stared nkly at her waiting ticket. Her appointment was at the same room she had gone to
that day and the attending doctor was again, Donald. Awkwardness grew when she saw his name;
she was not used to having a man attend to these matters. Her gut instinct had spoken against it
and she felt uneasy at the idea.
Many patients were outside in the waiting area.
"Hubby, I''m feeling so unwell, being pregnant is so tiring. It''s all your fault." Next to Jenna was a
woman, vomiting from time to time. Sheined to the man beside her, who was taking good
care of her.
The man was gentle and smiling. Heforted, "I''m sorry, Honey. It''s all my fault that you have to
go through this. I promise you, after you''ve given birth, I''ll take care of the child and everything else,
okay?"
He patted her back as he spoke, giving her all of his love. Nevertheless, she was unsatisfied as she
pouted and continued to moan and groan about her difort.
Compared to her, Jenna was simply suffering in hell.
Her situation could notpare at all!
She hid her face under the fur coat. It was as if the stares from other people were poisonous.
Should she be caught by those gazes, the venom would sink into her and find its way into her
blood, leaving her in agonizing pain.
She did not dare to look at anyone as if she hadmitted the greatest sin. She did not dare to
listen to the woman beside her, herints kittenish in sweet happiness; nor did she dare to
listen to the man, enclosing his woman with pure attentiveness and affection. The sight of the
couple was a sentence to Jenna, the sentence of failing to remain a virtuous woman.
She was pregnant before marriage.
Any woman would fall into the depths of shame and ridicule if such a thing were to happen in A city.
Not to mention that she held her head high in pride. She was hopeless apart from escaping reality
and tending to her wounds alone.
Tears quietly stained her coat. Jenna curled up on the iron bench with her head lowered and sobs
were stuck in her throat.
"Dad, I have yet to avenge you. I can''t give birth to the child so selfishly," she thought.
This was unfair to the child.
She shall trust no one from now on. She would avenge her father with her own bare hands, and
bring him and her mother justice. With that, he would finally rest in peace.
After this day, she would get back on her feet and never be deceived again.
"Child, the stars are to me for this. You havee to me when they are not aligned," she
lamented. Should there be another life, a reincarnation, she hoped that the baby would be born into
a better family.
Her fingers hidden in her long sleeves stroked her stomach and she felt the nausea welling up
again, urging her to vomit.
She was about to stand when there were sounds of footsteps.
The people waiting in the lobby saw shes of golden in front of their eyes, and all of them turned
their heads and looked.
They saw a beautiful woman in fashionable clothes, apanied by an elegant, elite woman of
high society. Behind them were four servants. She swayed out of the elevator, heading towards the
lobby.
Jenna felt the unusual atmosphere in the air, therefore she raised her head a little and looked out
through the gap in her hood.
She quickly lowered her head in a hurry and hid her face under the hood as best as she could. She
did not dare to look up again.
It was Marissa and Aria. They came to the hospital, presumably for an examination.
Wasn''t this too much of a coincidence? Of all the times she coulde!
She actually met this despicable woman!
Jenna felt her heartbeat in a mess, her entire body in uneasiness.
She did not want Aria to know about her conning to the hospital, let alone for them to find out about
her pregnancy. She shut her eyes tight and tried toe up with a n, her brain running on high
speed.
"Dear patients, Dr. Colton will not be avable this morning. He has a prior engagement booked by
another patient. Your consultations will be canceled or changed to another doctor in the afternoon."
Shortly after Aria went in, the head nurse came over and made the announcement.
"Why? Then what about us?"
"Is being rich everything? We came here first. Why send us away when they just arrived?"
"That''s right, I''ve been in line since early in the morning. Finally, it''s almost my turn but this
happened. This hospital is bullsh*t."
"Yeah, what a snobbish hospital. They will see the wealthy at an instant but ignore us, the ordinary
people''s illnesses. This is so hical."
Opposition from the crowd burst out.
The head nurse saw them dissatisfied and she knew that it was the hospital to me. She could
only keep on smiling as she apologized, "Sorry everyone, today is a special asion. Dr. Colton is
the patient''s special care and it was booked long ago. Today is the patient''s examination day.
Please forgive and understand us. Everyone may choose another doctor ore back in the
afternoon. My apologies, we''re sorry."
"In the afternoon? You say it as if it''s easy. What should we do at noon? We have to go back to work
in the afternoon too. They are all pregnant women bearing a child, and we have been sitting here
and waiting for such a long time. If something happens, can the hospital take responsibility for it?" A
man stood up and protested loudly.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, the nurse said anxiously, "Alright then, please sit
down and wait patiently. I''ll go and ask my manager about this."
All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.
The head nurse hurried away after speaking.
Jenna could not sit there and wait anymore. It seemed impossible to terminate the pregnancy on
this day.
She was already in a terrible state. Her feelings were in conflict and anxiety, and she was in a bad
mood. She could not risk being recognized by Aria and Marissa. All of these things have piled up on
her and she could no longer stay here. Jenna quietly stood up and walked toward the elevator,
hunching over as soon as she entered the space. She covered her mouth and tried her best to
endure the nausea.
Her stomach was churning and it was awfully ufortable. She waited for the elevator to stop
and rushed out. She then ran toward the trash can, supported herself with a hand on the wall and
vomited violently.
There was cold sweat on her forehead and she was seeing dark spots.
She fumbled for a ce to sit down, took a few deep breaths, and closed her eyes to rest for a
while. Only then did she feel a little relieved.
As soon as she calmed down, a baby''s cry sounded in her ears. It became louder and louder, and
there was more than one. Her eyes widened in surprise and when she looked up, Jenna saw that
she had reached the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department.
She had forgotten to press the downward button in the elevator, therefore the elevator brought her
here coincidentally.
The cries of the newborn babies hit her along with a hint of warmth. For a moment, there was a
peculiar feeling in her heart that she had never experienced before.
She subconsciously reached for her lower abdomen.
In front of her eyes, the faces of adorable infants began to appear. A small smile crept across her
face.
As if under a spell, Jenna stood up slowly.
There was a gym in the corridor towards the delivery room with several swimming tanks in them.
The colorful little floating tubes warmed up the atmosphere.
Several young mothers were standing outside the ss window looking at the tanks, showing
affectionate and knowing smiles.
Jenna slowly approached them, only to discover that there were many newborn babies in the
swimming tank of the gym ''swimming'' in it.
A pink and tender face so small with eyes closed slightly and skin a little wrinkled,fortablyid
in a swim ring. He was quiet and rxed as if still in his mother''s womb, so at ease.
A few yful ones were almost dancing, punching and kicking in the water. They looked so cute.
The troubles and hardships of the past few days had seemed to disappear. Jenna lifted the corners
of her mouth and her eyes shone with light. The sight of these newborns were mes, instantly
melting the cold in her icy heart, leaving a pool of warmth.
All she felt was being touched and a passion toward life.
She ced her hand on her stomach once more. A warm feeling came rushing from the bottom of
her heart.
Her child was the closest person to her in the world. Why would she get rid of her child?
What wrong had the baby done? A precious life should not be forced to an end this way.
It was the fault of the grown- ups. The sacrifices should not be borne by innocent lives. How cruel
would this be, what was she doing?
Her father was gone and her mother was seriously ill. Who else in this world could she rely on?
Why should she get rid of her only, dearest child? What a despicable idea.
No, she could not do this.
She loved her child. This thought was intensely strong, pounding in her being at the moment, just
like all the women who were about to be mothers. Apart from excitement and being moved,
there was joy in her heart. It was a tiny being of life, it was her flesh and blood. The closest person
to her in the world.
All her bad thoughts had vanished. In this one moment, Jenna decided that she was going to give
birth to the child.
She would not use this child to threaten Hansen. She would not let him know about its existence
either. She was capable of raising the child without his help.
After the child was born, it would be her family. She would no longer be alone, she would have a
child who could apany her and they would depend on each other. Together, they would pull
through the hardships in the world.
Maternal love was great and invincible. She believed that there was nothing she could not
ovee with her love. She was not afraid of death, she would not be afraid of any suffering! Her
pride, shame, and ego could all go to hell!
With this enthusiasm, Jenna tore the medical records and waiting ticket apart before resolutely
walking out of the hospital.
