Chapter 538 Finding A Doctor For Abortion

When I heard Janette’s remark, I couldn’t help frowning. Although we all knew that the baby couldn’t be allowed to remain, her lack of affection for the baby in her stomach and her unwavering resolve in aborting it made me feel that she was a bit too ruthless.

Regardless of how she ended up with the child, that was still her child. It was in her stomach and was already part of her. For that reason, fury simmered within me when she reviled her child thus. Perhaps it was because I already had a child that I was particularly touchy about that.

“In that case, let’s take some time to go to the hospital. We must find an experienced doctor since abortion is no trivial matter. Janette is still going to get married and have children in the future, so it’ll be bad if there are any long-term sequelae.”

Alicia breathed easier at Janette’s agreement to abort the baby, but she was still worried at the thought of the operation.

“I’ll handle this matter. I have some acquaintances in the hospital, and I can ask Ronan for help.”

Ronan was the hospital’s owner, so this matter wouldn’t be a problem if I were to seek his assistance.

“No!”

No sooner had I spoken than Janette cut me off glacially, obviously quite worked up at that moment.

“Why not?”

My brows knitted together, and I eyed her in puzzlement.

“I said no, so that’s the end of it! You can’t ask him for help! Also, don’t breathe a single word about my affairs to him!” Janette roared emotionally, abruptly shooting up from the couch.

I was stunned at her sudden shift in mood, but when realization dawned upon me, I grew even more concerned.

She doesn’t want me to seek Ronan’s help for no other reason than not wanting him to know about her shame. She has fallen in love with him, and she probably even secretly hopes that she’ll be able to get together with him if there’s such an opportunity. But then, I really think that it isn’t necessary to keep this a secret, for he’ll never get together with her.

Despite my thoughts, I didn’t want to say anything to trigger her when she had already suffered such a huge blow. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“He’s far more familiar with the staff in the hospital, so we’ll be able to find a doctor with the best medical skills with his help. After all, such an operation is detrimental to the body. Thus, we’ve got to minimize the damage.”

I couldn’t resist persuading her otherwise though I understood her thoughts.

In this age, many young ladies couldn’t conceive after getting married because they had an abortion. I didn’t want her to suffer the same fate. She was still very young right then, so the most important thing was to ensure her health.

“Don’t think I’m ignorant to your intention, Anna! I bet you want Ronan to find out about what happened to me, right?”

Upon hearing that, Janette glared at me with a chilly expression on her face and fury blazing in her eyes.

Irritation swamped me when she interpreted my kind intention so detestably.

I only said that for the sake of her health, yet she thinks that I intentionally want to have Ronan know about the tragedy that has befallen her! I know she likes him, but I also know that he definitely won’t reciprocate her feelings, so there’s absolutely no need for me to do so!

I was irked that she was always thinking the worst of me, and I couldn’t understand why she loved to believe that everyone was malicious.

“I can’t do anything if you want to think that of me. If you don’t want to have any long-term sequelae, you’d best listen to me. I know you have feelings for Ronan, but if you want to pursue him, he’ll know about the incident that befell you sooner or later,” I retorted disdainfully, throwing her a frosty look.

I initially didn’t want to say anything to set her off, but I really couldn’t quite tolerate her accusation. Verily, I loathed the tone in which she spoke to me.

Although Ronan seemed insouciant, he had pretty high standards when it came to relationships. Otherwise, he would have gotten together with the countless young and beautiful women who flitted around him in the past two years. The fact that he didn’t take a fancy to any of them proved that he was rather picky toward his other half.

“There’s no need to mock me such, Anna! I’ll never let you off the hook if you dare tell him about this matter!” Janette threatened as she glowered at me.

“What nonsense are you spouting, Janette? Anna only wants the best for you. Why won’t you consider her kind intention?”

Alicia could no longer keep her silence. She frowned slightly and looked at Janette with disapproval in her eyes.

Nevertheless, her tone wasn’t all that harsh when she spoke to Janette because the latter had experienced a series of blows recently.

“She wants the best for me? Only she knows her true intention best! Mom, don’t be deceived by her pitiful appearance!” Janette snarled in disgruntlement, instantly cutting her gaze at Alicia furiously when she heard her defending me.

“Janette!” Alicia snapped, her eyes brimming with displeasure.

“Forget it. Since you don’t want me to ask Ronan for help, I can’t do anything either.”

By then, I couldn’t be bothered to argue with her anymore. Since she doesn’t want me to seek Ronan’s help, I’ll just do as she says. Anyway, she’s the one whose body will be damaged at that time, not me.

Hearing that, Janette cast me a frigid look before she stood up and stormed up the stairs.

“Don’t be angry, Anna. She’s emotionally unstable now after having been through such a traumatic incident. Please don’t take offense at her,” Alicia murmured embarrassingly after glancing at Janette’s back as she disappeared upstairs.

“Don’t worry. I won’t take offense at her.”

Well, I can’t say anything when she has said as much. Anyway, I don’t care about Janette now. I just don’t want her to suffer too much.

After exchanging a few more words with my mother, I left. As Janette forbade me from telling Ronan about the matter, I could only visit the hospital myself and find a doctor.

When I returned home, Michael was already back. Recalling his indifferent attitude last night, I didn’t feel like entertaining him. Hence, I spun around to head upstairs.

“Are you not going to say anything to me?”

At my reaction, Michael’s brows creased slightly, and he regarded me with chagrin written all over his face. His voice was colored with dissatisfaction.

“You didn’t want me to talk to you, no? So, I won’t!” I huffed, halting in my tracks.

I actually wanted to talk to him last night, but he stopped me from doing so. Yet he’s now snarky with me for not talking to him?
