“…H-huh? Were you sick? Why didn’t you say so earlier!” exclaimed Dolly.
“No, it’s not that… I…” muttered Xavia before pausing for a bit.
It took her a while, but she eventually added, “…I’d… like to abort the child… While I’m at the hospital, I’ll also be taking the chance to recover…”
After all, Xavia was still wheelchair-bound for the time being. Regardless, Xavia hadn’t mentioned the pregnancy during her time in S City at all since she hadn’t wanted Stefan to learn of the horrific events that she had to go through…
Either way, the startled Dolly immediately replied, “Y-you’re aborting it…? Have you thought things through…?”
Her question prompted Xavia to clench her fists. What mother would willingly forsake her own child…?
“…If Jenna really is the murderer, then we aren’t a match for her powerful background and dependable supporters. Having this child with me will be a major inconvenience, especially since we may need to infiltrate the enemy’s base in order to attain the truth,” explained Xavia after a long pause, prompting Dolly to momentarily go speechless.
‘…Infiltrate the enemy’s base…? Isn’t Jenna’s ‘base’ Young Master Burton…? What on earth is even going on in this situation…?’ Dolly thought to herself.
Though she was confused, she never liked the child in the first place. After all, it was Keith’s! With that in mind, Dolly wordlessly wheeled Xavia toward the hospital…
Once they were there, they quickly found a doctor who soon began using ultrasonography on Xavia as she asked, “So, you want the abortion to be as painless as possible, correct?”
Xavia, of course, nodded in response. Though her action could easily be seen as selfish, she had to do this. For Grandma and Yulia’s sake… She couldn’t allow Jenna to exploit the child to her advantage…!
Regardless, it was a while later when the doctor said, “…Um… Miss? You’re… not even pregnant…?”
