Chapter 51


    “Jason, since you have chosen to disappear for six years, just stay gone, and let’s not show up in each


    other’s world,” Anastasia interrupted Jason. “If I hadn’t happened to go to Atharin, we wouldn’t have


    met each other by chance. If not for that, we might never have met again or evene to know each


    other.”


    Truth be told, Anastasia had not recognized Jason as Jace.


    When Anastasia first encountered Jason in the elevator in Atharia, she only felt that Jason resembled


    Jace, but never would she have suspected he was actually Jare.


    A teenager can change a lot in six years.


    “No…” Jason shook his head. “I had nned to return to my country, because six years ago L…


    “Stop it. Anastasia escaped from the safe passage and left in a panic.


    She thought. “I’ll admit that I’m being selfish because I’m afraid to hear what Jason has to say about


    what happened six years ago. I can’t afford to since my life ising to an end. How can I even pay


    Jace back?”


    In fact, she could guess what happened six years ago, but she dared not face it.


    “Anastasia, what were you afraid of? Do you think that I’m going to make you take responsibility? Do


    you think that I’m going to threaten or even guilt trip you over what happened six years ago?” Jason


    had no idea why she was afraid..


    She was obviously not that kind of woman.


    He thought, “Why did she try to make me think that she’s a gold digger and a woman who fawned on


    the rich and powerful and also fears that the past would affect her future?”


    “If you’re not, then you don’t have to say anything. Just wait to hear from me,” Anastasia said in a


    hoarse voice and walked straight out of the hospital.


    She thought, “Just treat me as a passer-by in your life.”

    Soon, she vanished from view


    Jason stood rooted to the spot and clenched his fists stiffly.


    He thought, “Six years… What did she experience to have caused her to turn out like this?”


    After escaping from the hospital, Anastasia stood by the roadside, short of breath.


    Anastasia leaned against the edge of the flower bed and sat down weakly on the roadside.


    She couldn’t hold on any longer.


    Anastasia took out the painkiller from her bag, and as she was going to eat it, she hesitated.


    She thought, “stor has said that… he wanted to keep the child. I’m probably crazy.”


    Anastasia was quiet for a long moment before finally making up her mind.


    She thought, “I want to keep the child.”


    Anastasia got up and went back to the hospital to look for her attending physician.


    “Judging from the results of the test, the doubling of HCG is not a good sign, but we will continue to


    observe it. If the fetal heart rate is normal after about six weeks, there will be no problem. The doctor


    looked at the test results with a heavy expression. “But in your case, we don’t rmend you to have


    this child.”


    *Is… Is it hereditary? Anastasia was more worried about whether the child would inherit her illness.


    “The possibility cannot be ruled out, so we must do regr prenatal examinations and hereditary


    gic screening.” The doctor frowned. “I still suggest you abort this baby because the pregnancy


    cycle is too long, and you can’t receive early intervention treatment for cancer. If you wait for a


    postpartum treatment, the effect cannot be guaranteed. Pregnancy will also increase your risk of


    fracture, osteoporosis, and other risks. You also cannot take special painkillers for the pain, and this will


    make it hard for you to bear. The doctor made it clear to Anastasia that it would be a difficult process.


    Bone cancer could be said to be the most painful breast cancer in the world.


    If Anastasia wanted to keep her baby, it would elerate the risk of her death and perhaps even force


    her to live a life that


    was worse than death.


    “Doctor, I want to keep this child. Can you help me as much as possible?” Anastasia’s voice was


    hoarse.


    After she died, stor would soon forget her.


    But if he kept this child, he would remember her for the rest of his life.


    However, Anastasia would be unable to give the child aplete home.


    As long as stor’s mother was there, Anastasia would not need to worry that the child would be


    bullied by Felicia.


    Before she died, she would try her best to ensure that her child obtained favorable conditions such as


    stor’s legacy and thepany’s shares.


    After leaving the hospital, Anastasia called stor with trembling fingers.


    “Where are you?” Anastasia asked as she stood by the roadside. She watched stor apany


    Felicia out of the hospital and get in the car.


    “I’m… I’m at thepany,” stor said as he took the call at the side.


    His reply made Anastasia want to burst intoughter.


    She thought, “We’ve already had aplete falling-out Why are you still lying to me?”


    “I can help introduce Felicia to a mentor, and you go help get an appointment with a doctor for


    Grandma Penelope’s surgery.”


    On the other end of the phone, stor was silent for a long time. “So you’ve thought things through?”


    “Yes.” Anastasia took a deep breath and said, “I need to meet with you to discuss the baby. I went for a


    pregnancy check-up today.”


    Once again, stor remained silent for a long time. “Okay, I’ll go home tonight.
