Pearl hesitated at the hospital entrance. The baby in her belly seemed to sense its fate and suddenly twitched.
She couldn't help but chuckle. The baby was barely a month old, not even fully formed. It was just her imagination.
"There you are, Pearl," a familiar voice came from behind.
Pearl turned to see Hugo. This guy wouldn't give up!
Hugo saw the papers in her hand, and his expression softened. "Are you here for an abortion?"
"It's none of your business," Pearl said, trying to avoid his gaze on her belly.
"Pearl, you should have listened to me and gotten rid of this baby... but it's not too late today. I'll get the best doctor for you, so you don't have to worry about it..." Hugo said, his expression disturbingly obsessive.
Pearl frowned in disgust. "I don't need your help!"
"It's okay, just leave it to me," Hugo said smugly before leaving.
Pearl's resolve to do the procedure here completely vanished. As she turned to leave, she encountered someone standing at the hospital entrance, towering with an inscrutable expression.
She couldn't describe the feeling. Perhaps it was guilt, or maybe it was helplessness. Nonetheless, she involuntarily moved toward him.
Standing before him, Pearl took a deep breath and tentatively asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I should be the one asking you that." Richard's voice was icy, devoid of emotion.
"Okay, I get what you mean." Richard frowned. "Don't worry. If you don't want to keep my child, you don't have to."
Pearl's face turned pale. "Richard!"
"If you find our marriage difficult, then we should—"
"Do you have to say such things?" Pearl felt her breathing was becoming difficult. She leaned against the wall for support. "I know you can't understand me right now, but can you please just trust me?"
"I don't know how I can do that," Richard replied, his hand in his pockets, stepping back. "I won't stop you from having an abortion. I'm leaving."
He turned around, his steps stumbling unintentionally.
