Chapter 1655: Just because she's the closest

Finding out why Priscilla chose Penelope as the name for her child was not something Penny, Slater, or Mint expected. But somehow, hearing the explanation made sense. They had all heard the story she was referring to at least once.

"They say not to name something — be it a stuffed toy, an animal, or anything," Priscilla whispered. "Because if you do, you can't just let them go so easily. However, when I heard that story, the first thing that came to my mind was... It's a beautiful name for a girl." freewebnovel.com

A bitter chuckle escaped her. "Besides, my name's Priscilla, so we have the same first letter in our names. That's when I knew, I couldn't just neglect this child."

The child in her womb had brought a little candle into her dark, inescapable room. The child's light was, at first, very faint, almost unnoticeable. But as time passed, the flame grew bigger and brighter, until Priscilla's world didn't seem so bad at all.

Unlike donating her eggs, being a surrogate and carrying a child was different.

The organization only required her to send her results after her regular visits to the clinic. Other than that, Priscilla lived a relatively normal life. For once in all the years she had spent in darkness - with and without Jason - she was able to live like everyone else.

The nice accommodations and allowances were just bonuses she didn't need. After all, Priscilla had saved up enough to financially support herself.

For the months that followed, her affection for the growing life within her grew even bigger than her stomach. She would take her vitamins on time, read stories to her, and even eat healthy meals for the child.

However, she knew that this wouldn't last long.
