Chapter 554
"When the doctor suggested I have an abortion, he didn't utter a word. His silence meant he'd given up
on our baby." Violette deeply inhaled, bitterness tinging her words. "He's the father. How could he be so
cold-hearted towards his own child?"
Mike struggled to find his voice. "Maybe he just naturally takes the doctor's advice."
"He never listens to the doctor. He smokes when he's sick, he drinks when he's sick. No one can make
him toe the line unless he wants to." Violette’s eyelashes fluttered, and her voice choked. "He just
doesn’t want this baby who might have health issues."
"Violette, don't make him out to be the bad guy. At least, he does care about you a lot." Mike tried to
steer clear of the baby topic.
"I know," she inhaled, her voice nasal. "If he didn't love me, he wouldn't have come to my rescue."
Mike could only nod in agreement.
"Mike, I love him too," she choked out.
"I know, if you didn't love him, you wouldn't even consider having his baby." Mike frowned. "Violette,
what are you gonna do? You're not seriously thinking about breaking up with him, are you?"
"I don't want to break up with him, but I also don't want this potentially sick baby to be his burden." Her
eyes were moist. "I can't abandon this baby that's already formed inside of me. I can't let go... I really
can't..."
"Don't worry about all that now. No matter what you decide, I've got your back." Mike handed her a box
of tissues.
Soon, they arrived at the hospital.
Mike led Violette to Adrian's hospital room. Adrian's mother, Mary, walked out of the room, looking at
Violette coldly. "Violette, I want to have a word with you."
Violette followed Mary to a secluded corner of the corridor.
The sunlight outside the window was a bit glaring. Mary looked out, then back at Violette. "Violette, my
son is like this because of you."
"I'm sorry, I really am."
"What good is your apology? I only have one son, and now he's like this, do you know how heartbroken
I am?" Mary's tears fell. "I used to like you so much, but now I can't stand you. How dare you show
your face here?"
"I wanted to apologize to you and Adrian's father, and to Adrian."
"We don't want your apology.” Mary pointed towards the elevator. "Leave now. I don't want to see you
ever again. Every time I see you, I feel jinxed."
......
Mike walked into the room and saw a beautiful bouquet of sunflowers on the table. He asked, "Did
Makayla send these?"
Adrian had woken up a few days ago, his spirits were good, but his leg was broken, and he couldn't get
out of bed.
"Yes. She sends flowers every day. I really appreciate her."
"Adrian, you have a great attitude. Despite your injuries, you're still grateful to others," Mike admired.
Mike walked out of the room, only to see Mary alone. "Ma'am, where's Violette?"
Mary coldly replied, "I don't know. My son needs to rest. Don't bring her here again."
Mary walked back into the room and shut the door.
Mike rushed towards the elevator. She didn't have her phone, no money, and she was injured. Where
could she have gone?Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
