Chapter 737 Get an Abortion Anytime

He sounded like he was asking but also like he was gauging her reaction.

Deirdre held back her tears by force, shook her head, and said, “I’m not… I’m just caught by surprise. I thought that I wouldn’t be able to get pregnant for the rest of my life because of my weak body.”

Brendan smiled and said, “You’re blessed, so we can have the chance to have a child together.”

Deirdre feigned a smile.

The doctor said, “Miss McKinnon’s health is not too good, so she must exercise caution during her pregnancy. She will need to maintain her emotional stability and rest more. The first trimester is going to be risky.”

Brendan nodded strenuously and memorized everything that the doctor told them. He sought the doctor’s help to prescribe some health supplements, held her hand, and walked out of the hospital.

While getting into the car, Brendan had not forgotten about Deirdre’s unusual reaction.

He refused to believe that

Deirdre was just caught by surprise, but he did not attempt to pry for more information in the doctor’s presence.

After they were both settled in the narrow space of the car, Brendan asked with feigned casualness while he started the engine, “Deirdre, you don’t actually look forward to the arrival of the baby, right?”

Deirdre’s pupils shook once. “What makes you think that?”

“You haven’t smiled even for a moment from the time you received the information.”

Deirdre’s fists tightened while Brendan kept quiet for a moment. There was no telling what was on his mind, then he said, “If you don’t want it, I’ll respect your decision. You can abort the child that belongs to us anytime if you want.”

Brendan’s remark stabbed into her heart like a knife. He wanted her to make the decision to either continue with the pregnancy or brace herself to take the cruel action.

Deirdre was capable of making the cruel decision, but she thought about how

Brendan would be alarmed for sure if she were to get an abortion when she used to love Kyran so much.

After thinking through the situation, she said in a hoarse voice, “No… You’ve misunderstood, Kyran. I’m not planning on aborting the child. On the contrary, I look forward to the arrival of the child very much, only that…”

“Only what?”

Deirdre could not help smiling bitterly, lowering her eyes, and said, “Have I told you that I was pregnant before?

“It came at a very ingenious time when I was extremely hopeless and helpless. I was determined to keep the baby, yet the baby’s father did not allow that. Hence, it was gone.

“I was pinned down on the floor by a bunch of people in the cold prison and forced to be fed abortion pills. It turned into a pile of mushy flesh and was tossed into the sewage drain. I knew very well that I had disappointed my child.

“Hence, Kyran, I couldn’t be happy after finding out that I’m pregnant. I’m scared that our child will end up the same…”

Her body began to shake when she became emotional. After all, she was haunted by the memory of this event for many years. On the other hand, the culprit was sitting next to her.

Brendan felt his heart wrench in pain upon hearing that. His expression changed, but he forced himself to calm down by gnashing his teeth. He stopped the car by the road. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

After regulating his breathing for a while, he hugged Deirdre, who was still shaking.

“It’s alright, Deirdre. It’s alright…” He comforted her, his dark eyes glistening with determination. “I promise I will do everything within my capability to protect our child, so it will be born healthy and become an outstanding person. I will love, care, and raise it into an adult no matter the gender.”

Deirdre nodded strenuously, and the tears of hatred rolled down her face.

“Miss McKinnon is actually pregnant.” Declan came rushing over as soon as he received the news. He came bearing expensive supplements and said smilingly, “So, will I be able to reserve the position of the baby’s godfather in advance in view of our friendship?”
