“Jason, since you have chosen to disappear for six years, just stay gone, and let’s not show up in each other’s world,” Anastasia interrupted Jason. “If I hadn’t happened to go to Atharin, we wouldn’t have met each other by chance. If not for that, we might never have met again or even come to know each other.”
Truth be told, Anastasia had not recognized Jason as Jace.
When Anastasia first encountered Jason in the elevator in Atharia, she only felt that Jason resembled Jace, but never would she have suspected he was actually Jare.
A teenager can change a lot in six years.
“No…” Jason shook his head. “I had planned to return to my country, because six years ago L…
“Stop it. Anastasia escaped from the safe passage and left in a panic.
She thought. “I’ll admit that I’m being selfish because I’m afraid to hear what Jason has to say about what happened six years ago. I can’t afford to since my life is coming to an end. How can I even pay Jace back?”
In fact, she could guess what happened six years ago, but she dared not face it.
“Anastasia, what were you afraid of? Do you think that I’m going to make you take responsibility? Do you think that I’m going to threaten or even guilt trip you over what happened six years ago?” Jason had no idea why she was afraid..
She was obviously not that kind of woman.
He thought, “Why did she try to make me think that she’s a gold digger and a woman who fawned on the rich and powerful and also fears that the past would affect her future?”
“If you’re not, then you don’t have to say anything. Just wait to hear from me,” Anastasia said in a hoarse voice and walked straight out of the hospital. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
She thought, “Just treat me as a passer-by in your life.”
Soon, she vanished from view
Jason stood rooted to the spot and clenched his fists stiffly.
He thought, “Six years… What did she experience to have caused her to turn out like this?”
After escaping from the hospital, Anastasia stood by the roadside, short of breath.
Anastasia leaned against the edge of the flower bed and sat down weakly on the roadside.
She couldn’t hold on any longer.
Anastasia took out the painkiller from her bag, and as she was going to eat it, she hesitated.
She thought, “Alastor has said that… he wanted to keep the child. I’m probably crazy.”
Anastasia was quiet for a long moment before finally making up her mind.
She thought, “I want to keep the child.”
Anastasia got up and went back to the hospital to look for her attending physician.
“Judging from the results of the test, the doubling of HCG is not a good sign, but we will continue to observe it. If the fetal heart rate is normal after about six weeks, there will be no problem. The doctor
looked at the test results with a heavy expression. “But in your case, we don’t recommend you to have this child.”
*Is… Is it hereditary? Anastasia was more worried about whether the child would inherit her illness.
“The possibility cannot be ruled out, so we must do regular prenatal examinations and hereditary genetic screening.” The doctor frowned. “I still suggest you abort this baby because the pregnancy cycle is too long, and you can’t receive early intervention treatment for cancer. If you wait for a postpartum treatment, the effect cannot be guaranteed. Pregnancy will also increase your risk of fracture, osteoporosis, and other risks. You also cannot take special painkillers for the pain, and this will make it hard for you to bear. The doctor made it clear to Anastasia that it would be a difficult process.
Bone cancer could be said to be the most painful breast cancer in the world.
If Anastasia wanted to keep her baby, it would accelerate the risk of her death and perhaps even force her to live a life that
was worse than death.
“Doctor, I want to keep this child. Can you help me as much as possible?” Anastasia’s voice was hoarse.
After she died, Alastor would soon forget her.
But if he kept this child, he would remember her for the rest of his life.
However, Anastasia would be unable to give the child a complete home.
As long as Alastor’s mother was there, Anastasia would not need to worry that the child would be bullied by Felicia.
Before she died, she would try her best to ensure that her child obtained favorable conditions such as Alastor’s legacy and the company’s shares.
After leaving the hospital, Anastasia called Alastor with trembling fingers.
“Where are you?” Anastasia asked as she stood by the roadside. She watched Alastor accompany Felicia out of the hospital and get in the car.
“I’m… I’m at the company,” Alastor said as he took the call at the side.
His reply made Anastasia want to burst into laughter.
She thought, “We’ve already had a complete falling-out Why are you still lying to me?”
“I can help introduce Felicia to a mentor, and you go help get an appointment with a doctor for Grandma Penelope’s surgery.”
On the other end of the phone, Alastor was silent for a long time. “So you’ve thought things through?”
“Yes.” Anastasia took a deep breath and said, “I need to meet with you to discuss the baby. I went for a pregnancy check-up today.”
Once again, Alastor remained silent for a long time. “Okay, I’ll go home tonight.
