Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Millie's body trembled uncontrollably, as if a bucket of ice water had been dumped over her head by Murray's cold demeanor.

She had not anticipated his heartlessness, not even offering her a sliver of a chance to mend things.

She couldn't accept it!

"Babe, I know I messed up, but our baby is innocent! Look, this is the ultrasound, the baby already has a heartbeat. Can you really bear to let him grow up fatherless?" Murray's gaze shifted downward, looking at the shaky black and white ultrasound image she held in her trembling hands, which was too blurry to make out anything. With a mocking smile, he spoke dismissively, "Well, that's why I'm saying you should get an abortion."

"Better that than to be born and immediately lose a father."

Besides, he didn't acknowledge that the child was his.

Having said that, as if tired of listening, Murray turned and walked upstairs.

Millie watched his unfeeling departure, her hands clenched into fists, overwhelmed by anger and frustration.
