The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 411 A Horrible Man Over The Phone

"How could you be out here? You should be in your room resting."? Charles was upset and yet

shocked to see Autumn in the doctor's office. "Autumn, this child will be aborted, as we have decided

that after carefully considering your present poor health. We will have another baby when you are

physically and psychologically fit. Please do consider my advice."

"Irrespective of whatever is said and done, I will keep this baby!"? Autumn remained adamant.

Supported by Chris, Autumn moved towards the doctor and pleaded for her child's life. "It is my earnest

hope that I could carry my baby in my womb until delivery. My revered doctor, I place all my hopes

upon you to do what you must to keep it healthy!"

Autumn was too weak to speak any further. Upon seeing Autumn out of breath, Charles lost no time to

comfort her, "Autumn, for the time being, it is more important to cure your illness than to keep this baby,

otherwise, you could stand losing your life let alone bringing life."

"I am fully aware of the risk."? Autumn spoke to Charles as she began to sob, "I know I have been

mentally unsound and have been bringing you trouble and hurting you. I feel immense regret about it.

But this baby.. I can not afford to abort it. It is a life and I am the mother."

"You are being quite unreasonable!" Charles found it impossible to meet Autumn's wishes, as Autumn

was, at that moment, too feeble to carry her baby any longer.

Chris and Sam added their advice, "Autumn, you better abort this child now. You will have another one

when you regain your health, which would also be healthy for the baby."

"Autumn, as Chris suggested, you must take care of your health so as to produce a healthy baby."?

Sam regretted remaining silent about Autumn's abnormal behavior for the first time, which worsened Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

the situation where Autumn was caught in now.

"Thanks for your kindness and concern. I understand your reasons and motivations." Autumn smiled at

those present there. "But this baby shares my blood and flesh, a bond inexorable. There is nothing that

will make me change decision and kill it. I need your fullest support as this may be my weakest hour."

"But what if....." Charles did not relent on the thought of beating Autumn unconscious before giving her

an induced abortion, however... Autumn's following words put him in a dilemma.

Autumn spoke to Charles in an emotional tone, "Charles, as you know, my childhood was filled with

hardships and ordeals, absent of Wendy's love and care. Wendy bore her grudge against me right onto

her death. Now I consider it a blessing to have my own baby towards whom I will render all my love.

How could I.. kill it without mercy.

Charles, it is also your baby. I doubt your willingness to lose it." ?Autumn's words shook Charles's

certainty. He began to reconsider his decision in silence.

She was carrying their first child. As it dawned upon him, he was... growing more and more hesitant to

lose it!

"Autumn, your desire to keep this baby is understood but risks both your health.... It may come into this

world with birth defects; you too would be mentally unsound to support it." Charles made his last

attempt to change Autumn's decision, however, if Autumn remained resolute... he would lend his fullest

support and help her till recovery and delivery.

"I will accept my baby, even if it is physically handicapped." Autumn's decision stood strong through

whatever everyone had to say.

At that moment, Charles also gave in and sought the doctor's suggestion, "Is there an effective solution

to her condition?"

The doctor was somewhat puzzled but promised to try his best.

The doctor put forth a question, "I can not assure you that this baby will come into being safe and

sound, but I will exert every means to save it, so long as you are dying to give birth to it."

"Moreover, " the doctor paused and added, "you must take these points into consideration..."

"I will follow whatever instruction you give me as long as it helps me sustain my baby and it is beneficial

for it!" Autumn said to the doctor earnestly.

"First and foremost, the drug, which was harmful to both your nervous system and your baby, shall be

withdrawn immediately. You must also find out who administered this drug in your daily meal to forestall

this crime."

Those present nodded to indicate their approval. "We will make a thorough investigation on this back at

home."

The doctor nodded and further went on, "Furthermore, you have to undertake more pregnancy tests

than the ordinary expecting mothers. Once any birth defect is found, I will strongly advise you not to

keep this baby but instead regain your health for another one. You are too young to worry about

repeated pregnancy."

The doctor, seeing the anxieties all over Autumn's face, sighed and said, "Since you are Doctor Zhao's

granddaughter, I will offer you the best possible treatment for the sake of you and your child."

"I know. Thanks for your suggestion." Autumn's face turned as pale as ice. Fortunately, within one-

weak hospitalization, Autumn looked better. As the doctor said, Autumn would remain healthy, as long

as she was off the drug and would not be troubled.

The day Autumn was discharged from hospital after recovery, Lu family and Zhao family awaited

Autumn's arrival earnestly in Dream Garden.

However, Nancy was overcome with regret and guilt, as she embraced solace in the kitchen.

Nancy nearly ruined Autumn for the sake of saving her own son. Although she disliked Autumn, she

had not thought of killing Autumn, much less an expectant mother.

Nancy was, at that moment, on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Nancy could not help but weep regretfully and guiltily in the kitchen as she recalled how the Lu family

held her in high regard for so many years.

Gary was pleased to learn about his great grandson, however, it was she who nearly undid this family

bliss. How could she not be guilty?

At that moment, she got a violent blow, upon seeing the familiar phone number followed by the horrible

voice. "I was informed of.... Autumn's pregnancy. Now she may return in Dream Garden from the

hospital."

"What evil scheme on earth are you plotting now?"? The mystery man over the phone was no less than

a demon to keep Lu family under close watch, calm and collected.
