When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 18


    Fuller Corporation’s coboration with the hospital was a project under the national fund. As a


    construction and tradepany, the coboration with the hospital was under thepany’s


    construction business. I was in charge of this project, as ordered by Ashton. Caleb was in fact,


    Martha’s husband.


    We had both signed a contract, stipting that full payment should have to be made before the


    completion of the construction. Unfortunately, Caleb had used the money from the fund elsewhere, so


    we couldn’tplete the construction.


    To simply put it, Caleb couldn’t pay the bnce to Fuller Corporation on time as stipted by the


    contract.


    After listening to Martha’s plea, I forced out a smile. “Mrs. Ludwick, you know very well that Ashton and


    I aren’t that close. It’s a huge sum of money. Ashton is known for his thoroughness at work. If


    something happens, I won’t be able to exin it to him.”


    Martha panicked instantly. She thought about it and suggested, “Will one week do? Please extend the


    deadline by a week. When Caleb pays the bnce, we’ll thank you personally.”


    I could have easily agreed, but I chose to utter, “Mrs. Ludwick, Fuller Corporation isn’t an SME. We


    have strict rules regarding funding. If I help Dr. Ludwick, I’ll have to bear responsibility. Unless…”


    I paused and nced at her.


    She immediately asked, “Unless what?” It was as if I was herst ray of hope.


    I hesitated before answering, “Unless I have a reason to dy my work.”


    Before she could answer, I added, “There’s a perfect excuse avable now.”


    “What is it?” Martha’s grip on her ss tightened.


    “I need Dr. Ludwick’s help in arranging for an ob-gyn to tend to me. I’m going to abort my baby.”


    Martha was shocked to hear my words. “Mrs. Fuller, you’re pregnant?”


    I nodded. “I’m six weeks along.”


    “Why are you aborting your child at this stage? Does Mr. Fuller know about your pregnancy?” Martha


    was confused. “You’ve been married for some time. The child has arrived at the perfect time!”


    I gave her a faint smile. “Ashton and I aren’t ready yet.”

    I paused briefly before adding, “I can use the excuse to dy thepletion. Please inform Dr.


    Ludwick of my request.”


    “Does Mr. Fuller know about this?” she repeated unconvincingly.


    I nodded. “He does.”


    “Well, that’s too bad.” She sighed.


    That was it.


    Stacey prepared some supplements for Martha before she left. “Go to the president’s office and ask


    Joseph to hand me the divorce agreement that Ashton drafted earlier,” I told her after Martha was


    gone.


    Stacey was dumbfounded. “Ms. Stovall!”
