“The doctor said… it’s nothing serious,” Kyla said with a forced smile.

“That’s great.” Mrs. Corbyn was relieved.

Just as Kyla was ready to go to the room at the back to get changed, a car drove up to the store. Then, someone got out and carried boxes of oranges, sour plums of various brands, and other similar goods to Kyla.

“Mr. Weiss asked us to send these to you, Miss Corbyn,” the person said.

Kyla looked blankly at these things. These were what the doctor had told Martin Weiss could relieve nausea.

She did not expect Martin Weiss to get someone to send them over so soon.

Without waiting for Kyla to answer, the man down the things and left.

Mrs. Corbyn mumbled in confusion, “He’s talking about Martin Weiss, isn’t he? Why did he send all these here, and he sent so many too?”

Kyla said nothing but looked down at her flat belly.

Grace came to the store to see Kyla when she was free and saw Kyla looking distracted.

“Kyla, what’s the matter? Is there something on your mind?” asked Grace.

Kyla was silent for a moment.

“Just let me know if you’re facing any trouble. I’ll help if I can,” said Grace.

Kyla touched her belly with both hands.

“Kyla… Are you pregnant?” Grace hesitated but asked without beating about the bush.

Kyla quivered before calming down. “Yeah.”

Perhaps it would be good to talk things out. At least, she could talk to Grace about some things on her mind.

The secret had upset her so much these days. She could not tell her mother, let alone Nelson.

She could only pretend as if nothing was wrong in front of her dearest family.

“What are you going to do about it?” asked Grace.

Kyla confessed, “I haven’t decided yet. The baby is Martin Weiss’s, but I don’t want to get involved with him again. If I give birth to this baby, I’m afraid I’ll only get more and more involved with him.”

Grace pressed her lips together. “Kyla, if you want to give birth to the baby, then I’ll help you handle Martin Weiss.

He can forget about forcing you to do anything.”

Kyla looked gratefully at Grace. “Grace, thank you.”

“You don’t have to thank me for anything. We’ve known each other for so many years. I only have two best friends, you and Lina!” said Grace.

“But Kyla, are you sure you won’t give Martin Weiss another chance?” added Grace.

Kyla smiled bitterly. “You know best what has happened between him and me. Could you do it if you were me?”

Grace was speechless because she had no idea if she would be able to get back together with Jay if he did those things to her.

During the weekend, Kyla was looking after the store when she saw her mother come back looking angry.

“What’s the matter, Mom? What happened?” Kyla asked hurriedly.

“Nothing, I just argued with Aunt Zhang.” Mrs. Corbyn snapped.

Kyla was speechless. “What did you argue with Aunt Zhang about?”

“It’s about Widow Liu. She said she got pregnant when her husband hasn’t even been dead for two years. No one knew whose baby it is. She called her unvirtuous or something, so 1 said no one cares about virtue nowadays. She made it seem like it’s the woman’s fault for getting pregnant. Widow Liu’s husband is dead. So what if she found someone else and got pregnant? It’s her business.

Who is Aunt Zhang to comment on someone else’s matter?”

“And then what? Did you argue with her?” asked Kyla.

“That’s because she said you have a child out of wedlock too. I…” Mrs. Corbyn paused at that. Embarrassment flashed across her face. Then, she laughed and said, “Alright, enough about that. Let’s stop talking. I’m going to cook dinner.”

Mrs. Corbyn said and entered the kitchen.

Kyla lowered her head. There was a bitter taste in her mouth.

There were people everywhere who liked to gossip. Her mother had argued with others for her before.

If she did give birth to the baby in her belly, there would probably be even more gossip!

Her mother and Nelson would have to live with all this gossip!

Kyla bit her lip at that thought. It was as if she had made up her mind.

She touched her belly gently and whispered, “I’m sorry…”

However, when she said these two words, tears still fell down her face. Her heart seemed to sink into a bottomless abyss.

The next day, Kyla went to the hospital and told the doctor she wanted a medical abortion.

“Have you discussed it with your husband? At your age, it’ll be hard for you to get pregnant again if you proceed with this,” the doctor said. After all, they remembered Martin Weiss asking about morning sickness.

“He’s not my husband, and I think it’s up to me to decide whether to have the baby or not. Isn’t it my right as a woman to decide whether to give birth or not?” asked Kyla.

The doctor prescribed the medicine when they saw Kyla’s resolution.

With heavy steps, Kyla walked to the hospital’s dispensary and stood in line.

Once she took the pill, that baby inside her would be officially gone.

Even if she had thought about keeping the baby, she was still a little afraid to take the bet. She could not bet on what would happen to her and Martin Weiss after the baby was born as well as how much damage the neighbors’

gossip would do to Nelson and her mother.

Therefore, maybe… she could only be sorry to her unborn child!

“Baby, if you get another chance at birth, choose a better mother and not one like me,” muttered Kyla.

It was her turn, and she handed her medical insurance card to the pharmacy staff. Moments later, she was handed her card back as well as the abortion pills.

Kyla took the medicine and card. She was about to put them in her bag when a hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Kyla froze. Her heart instantly sank when she looked up and saw who it was.

Martin Weiss! He appeared before her again.

However, Martin Weiss was staring intently at the box of pills she was holding with a ghastly pale face.
