Chapter 79 Explaining (Part Two) (1/2)
”Why do you want to?” Ruby asked. ”He’s mature. He’s always so nice to people. This was just some accident. Why would you not want to live a good life with him?”
”I already told him about it even before we got married,” she replied, unfazed. ”He married me with hatred. We can’t live like this for the rest of our lives.
In fact, I think it might even be a good thing that the baby is gone.”
And then, the door was kicked open, slamming against the wall with a loud thud. Both women turned to look, startled to see an enraged Spencer looking on.
”Oh...Mr. Cheng, what brings you here?” Ruby mumbled.
”Ruby, please leave us for a moment.” Spencer stood stiffly.
”I’m sorry?” Ruby hesitated.
”I told you to leave us for now.” ”It’s okay. I want to have a word with him. Sorry to trouble you, Ruby,” Fiona said.
Ruby sighed and shook her head. ”I’ll go out for now then.”
The door slammed shut behind her. There were two people in the ward: a pale woman sitting on the bed, and a tall well-built soldier standing his ground. Neither said a word.
The latter’s mind buzzed. Spencer just couldn’t control himself at the mention of their child. Before he knew it, he’d kicked the door open. The plan had just been to sneak in and take a look on her condition.
”What did you mean by that? If you don’t explain to me right now, I...”
”What?” Fiona raised her head and smiled mockingly. ”Are you going to kill me too?”
He felt his entire body freeze. ”Don’t push me, Fiona. The baby...” He gritted his teeth, unable to continue.
”That’s it for baby.” She turned her head away from him. ”After thinking it over, I think you made the best possible decision. Having a child would be a burden to us. I don’t want you to impose your hatred on it too. Even if you hadn’t aborted it, I probably would have. Maybe I should thank you in that regard.”
”Fiona...” His face was twisted, as if he was mourning something important that had been lost. ”Are you crazy? How could you be as cruel that you wish to kill your own child?”
