Chapter 671 She Succeeds (2/2)

Emily fought against the drowsiness, kicking out with her feet as they left the ground. With her dying strength she pleaded, ”No, Sean. Please don't...I beg of you...”

Her voice was so faint that only Sean could

no matter how hard it was for him, he still looked relaxed and calm. ”Yes, I will allow you to keep it,” he said.

”Thank you, Sean!” Emily embraced Sean excitedly and her tears burst out as if she was deeply moved by Sean's kindness.

But only Emily knew that they were not grateful tears. Not really anyway.

In truth, as soon as she woke up she knew that the child was still alive because she didn't feel any pain in her body. If she was given an operation, there must have been some kind of sequelae.

She had been pretending to be unaware this whole time, playing the role of a broken-hearted mother who had just lost her unborn child.

Her purpose was to lead Sean into promising that he would not hurt her unborn child in the future, and to gain his trust so that he would let down all the precautions against her.

The reason why Sean had lied to her was that he wanted to test her to see how much she loved this child. If she had accepted the death of this child easily, he surely would have followed through with the abortion by force.

So far it had been a gruelling psychological fight between Sean and Emily.

Suffice it to say, Emily emerged victorious this time.

Thanks to her tenacity, the child would be out of harm's way for the time being.

Sean took Emily into his arm, convincing himself in his mind that he would treat Emily's child as his own child. He used to regard Beryl as his own child, for Emily's sake. He could also learn to accept this unborn child as his own.

'I will gain Emily's love and we can have our own children in the future. So it's okay to make a compromise, ' Sean thought to himself.

The bitterness that inhabited his eyes slowly dissipated. He gently patted Emily on the back as a display of affection.

Although, their bodies were close to each other, their hearts were separated by a vast chasm. They both had their individual agendas and would stop at nothing to see them through.
