Actually, her injuries didn’t require her to be carried around like this at all, but her hands still couldn’t help but wrap around his neck, resting her face against his chest.

If there hadn’t been any dispute over the child between them, would everything have been fine?

Clearly, her pregnancy should have been a joyful thing, but now it had turned out like this.

When they reached the bathroom, as he gently set her down, she felt a sense of disorientation.

She watched him wet the towel and wring it out, then watched as he tenderly wiped her face with it. She slowly closed her eyes, feeling his tenderness.

When he carried her out of the bathroom again and carefully placed her on the hospital bed, she softly said, "Kyle, can I keep the child? I really don’t want to lose this little life."

He looked at her, his fingers gently stroking her hair, "You know, I originally thought that in this life, I would be alone, but I didn’t expect to meet you and fall in love with you. I never wanted a child, so I told you that we would never have children because..."

He paused, his voice carrying a slight hoarseness, "After the first time I accompanied you to the hospital to check if you were pregnant, I had a vasectomy."

Her eyes widened suddenly, never expecting that he would undergo such a procedure. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"So, you know, for me, children shouldn’t even exist." He said, bending down to gently embrace her, "Abort the child, Mabel. Without children, we will live well. If you really give birth to the child, will we truly be happy? This child, carrying my bloodline, will only make me despise them more."

Mabel Quinn’s body trembled slightly, clearly in his embrace, yet she felt so cold. "Do you really hate this child so much?"

"Yes," he murmured back.

"Even for my sake, you can’t try to like this child?" she asked, her voice trembling.

He slowly tucked her hair behind her ear, "I will never love this child, not in this lifetime."

Her heart suddenly ached, and she couldn’t help but let her tears fall. Was his statement sentencing this child to death? This child, not yet born, was already despised by their own father.

"What if I insist on giving birth to this child?" she said.

His fingers gently wiped away her tears, "Then I will wait until you willingly give up on this child. Mabel, do you think bringing a child not loved by their father into this world is really okay?"

His actions, his voice, even his expression remained as gentle as ever, the room comfortably warm, yet she felt so cold. It was as if all the blood in her body had frozen.

He no longer forced her, letting her make her own decision, but her heart felt even heavier...

————

Should she really keep the child?! She couldn’t bear to give up on this little life, and even when dreaming at night, she would wake up in a cold sweat from dreaming about losing the child.

Yet Kyle hated this little life so much. Why did he despise the Kinston Family’s bloodline so much? Could it be related to his parents?
