44 Chapter 44: Realisation

When she turned around ... Antonio's hands and feet couldn't move. Her belly ... She's pregnant? Her skinner figure, with her protruding belly, made her look even thinner.

Looking back on that night, this woman, clinging to him, said, "Please stay. This is the last time I beg you." and he had left without hesitation.

She was pregnant at that time ... Just because of the illness, her bump wasn't so obvious.

"Can ... I should have noticed." Antonio deeply regretted his actions. He was just about turning away to leave when a familiar figure appeared.

"Anne, go back inside, Alice just made some of your favourite porridge just for you." Terry said.

Antonio's hands was fisted by his side. Why was Terry acting so familiar with Anne? And why did Anne seem so happy to be receiving Terry's attention. He was jealous. All of a sudden another figure joined them, it was Sheldon.

Then Antonio remembered Sheldon telling him on that day of the accident to make Anne undergo a through medical examination. But he hadn't paid any attention to that, probably if he had, things wouldn't have gotten this worse.

Sheldon was saying to Anne" your condition right now is very critical. Because of your pregnancy, you are not able to respond to treatment well. And the baby is also not receiving the needed nourishment and growth environment it needs. You might have to give birth to this baby earlier than the eight months agreed on. It's your decision to make."

Anne looked at Alice and said. "I resign, I'm so tired of all this. I just want to give birth to this baby and die."

Alice warmly embraced her and said, "Don't give up my friend, you are a lot more stronger than you think"

All this while Antonio just didn't know what to do. He wasn't trying to be selfish but he would do anything to save Anne now, even if it means giving up this baby. Through the iron fence, Antonio looked longingly at the woman sitting in the courtyard. Then, quietly vanished around the courtyard.@@
