Chapter 45
Maybe she’s angry, because Lately I’ve often teased her, bringing up her ex–husband and even said that if it wasn’t my child she was carrying. I might have separated from her and chased Leora back.
I admit that my words were a bit excessive, but she also mocked me and said that it was useless for me to chase Leora because that woman still wouldn’t be able to give me a child like her.
I don’t know. As time went by my doubts about marrying Lizzy grew thicker. It turns out I never really knew her. I just fell in love with her, but she wasn’t a woman I could trust to live with and form a happy family,
in the car, my phone rang and Doctor Vernon’s name appeared on the screen.
When I was sitting in
Vernon greeted in his deep voice. “Ive been waiting to hear from you.”
“Hello, Mr. Peter,” Doctor Ve
“Ah. Doctor Vernon,” I said, trying to sound formal. “I’m sorry for keeping you waiting. I just finished talking to my sister and I think we can agree.” “Oh, that’s good. So, when will you bring your sister to my clinic? We need to do a check–up first, I have to make sure your sister’s condition before performing the surgery. I don’t want anything unwanted to happen and it could tarnish my good name too.”
Hearing Doctor Vernon’s words, I became optimistic. At least, Eva’s problem would be resolved now.
I didn’t want Eva to give birth to an illegitimate child, the result of a one–night stand with many unknown men. I couldn’t report anyone who had slept with Eva that night, because not only did Eva not remember them, it also happened because Eva gave them the green light and even acted aggressively because she was drunk.
Til let you know, after my sister is ready. Maybe in two or three days.”
“Don’t take too long, Mr. Peter. The fetus‘ condition will get stronger if it is delayed too long. I don’t want to risk endangering my patient’s life because we are late in treating her.”
Doctor Vernon and I ended our conversation after confirming several things that I needed to do, including payment. Doctor Vernon asked for a large fee, but I didn’t protest because I knew it was very difficult to find a doctor who was willing to perform an abortion and besides, Doctor Vernon was an experienced obstetrician and gynecologist who graduated from England.
Luckily I asked one of my subordinates at the office. I knew that he had taken his mistress for an abortion because at that time I had questioned why he borrowed a very large amount of money from company. He finally was honest and said that he needed to pay the doctor who was willing to abort his mistress pregnancy.
I started the car engine and drove down the road, heading to my favorite club. I needed to clear my complicated head with a drink.
My car had just entered the club yard when my phone rang again. I just let it ring while parking the car, because I didn’t recognize the number that was calling me.
Then, a
a message notification appeared on the screen.
[Lizzy had an accident. Come to St. Lauren Hospital now! Ricky.]
