Chapter 206
Regardless of what Tim’s doubts were, Tina was still his savior. Even if she had somehow turned into a wicked person, he was bound by his promise that he would
fulfill all her wishes.
At that thought, he regained his composure and nodded as he replied, “I understand. I’ll make the arrangements immediately.”
He hung up the call and kept his phone away. Then, he headed toward the OB GYN.
Meanwhile, it wasn’t long before the nurse informed Sonia that the operation theater was ready for her surgery. Sonia stood up and eyed the doors to the operation theater. At that moment, she became reluctant to take another step forward.
Douglas’ cherubic little face flashed in her mind and she thought about how sweetly he had called out for her. He made her realize how adorable children could be.
Besides, she was close to turning 27 and most women of her age were already mothers.
If she had consummated her marriage to Toby like any other woman, then her child would be of the same age and possibly cuter than Douglas.
Perhaps she would have boldly stepped into the operation theater without any hesitation if she never spent time with a toddler beforehand. However, now that she had done so, she was now tortured by her dilemma.
She clutched her lower abdomen and bit on her lip, growing more reluctant with every passing minute. At the sight of this, Charles walked up to her and asked gently. “Baby, what’s wrong?”
“Yeah, Sonia. What’s wrong?” Not wanting to lose out on showing his concern for Sonia, Zane rose from his seat in the waiting area and strode up next to her.
Sonia drew in a deep breath and did not try to deny her doubts as she confessed her thoughts, “I… I don’t really want to lose this child.”
Upon hearing this, Charles and Zane exchanged a meaningful look.
Charles was the first to speak up. “Why the sudden change of mind?”
Zane was also looking at her as he waited for her answer.
She looked down and muttered, “Maybe it’s because I’m not brave enough to do it.”
“I understand completely,” he solemnly responded. “After all, we’re talking about a living thing here. As the operation theater has already been set up, Sonia, it’s too late for you to back out of this now. You can’t keep the baby.”
He liked Sonia, but that didn’t mean he liked the idea of her carrying someone else’s baby and he would much rather if the child disappeared altogether.
“That’s right, darling. Think about what you said about not loving the baby and how you didn’t love the father. You shouldn’t keep the child only to let him suffer in this lifetime, given how he would be an illegitimate child who would neither be acknowledged nor loved by his
