“Even though you say you're fine, I still have to check.” The nurse approached Joyce, who clenched her phone tightly and said nothing.

After the nurse was done with the routine checkup, she recorded the information, intending to hand it over to the doctor later.

Joyce remained silent throughout the process and simply watched the nurse.

Here it comes! The woman knew what the nurse would say to her as soon as she saw the medical record folder getting shut.

“Ms. Rivers, have you made up your mind about the child yet?” inquired the nurse with a smile.

“As I said before, I'm not going to have an abortion, so you can tell Stanley that he should just give up. The child is mine. I won't hold him responsible, so he doesn't have to mind the kid. Tell him to pretend as if the child doesn't exist,” replied Joyce with downcast eyes.

The nurse was not upset after listening to Joyce. Instead, she remained smiling because she had heard those words from the woman at least six times. “That's not possible since Dr. Quinn insisted that unless you got rid of the child, he wouldn't be able to pretend as though nothing had happened. The fact is that you're pregnant, so the only option is abortion, Ms. Rivers.”

“Shut up!” roared Joyce emotionally as she covered her ears. “I'm not getting an abortion, and nobody can make me!”

















“I know you don't want to get rid of the child. That's why I'm telling you there's no point in keeping it. You'll only be making your life difficult for yourself. For the sake of your family and yourself, you should get an abortion,” advised the nurse.

Joyce got so upset that her breathing quickened, and her stomach began to hurt. “Get out of my sight now!” ordered the woman, gasping while pointing at the door.

Seeing how emotional Joyce was, the nurse decided to leave so as not to agitate the woman further. “Okay, I'll go. Rest well, Ms. Rivers. Dr. Quinn said he's giving you one last day to make up your mind. He hopes that you'll make the right decision. Otherwise, he'll have no choice but to force it on you. I'm sure you're well aware that you're no match for the man.”

With that, the nurse nodded slightly at the woman and left.

Joyce sat on the hospital bed and stared into space for a while before bursting into tears. Are you really that cold-hearted, Stanley?
