Shelly laid on the couch and felt as though she had lost all hope.Her family was still in debt, and she was barely making ends meet. If she was indeed pregnant, she would have another mouth to feed.'Oh, God! This is a disaster! If anything can go wrong, it will!' she thought.She lay still for a while before sitting up.Feeling thirsty, she poured herself a glass of water and regained her composure.She started to research what people did when they found out they were pregnant without a partner, and the comments on the internet seemed to be divided into two situations.If the person in concern was a student:[Tell your family, and get an abortion! Don't be afraid that your parents will be mad at you. Your parents are the only people who will help!][Tell your boyfriend, and see what he thinks. If he wants the baby, you can keep it. An abortion can severely damage your health!]If the person in concern had graduated:[If your boyfriend is willing to bear the responsibility,

"Are you married? If you don't want the child, we will need the signature of the father to proceed with an abortion," the doctor said.Shelly could not possibly get Hayden to sign the paperwork for her because she had no means of reaching him."Can't I just sign it myself?" Shelly asked. "I'm not married, nor do I have a boyfriend.""You must be really careless, then! You can get a family member to sign it for you. You won't be able to proceed with the procedures today, so you will need to make an appointment," the doctor continued. "Why don't you go home and consider your options?""Do I have to get my family to sign it? They aren't in the same city." Shelly was reluctant to inform her family about this as her parents would be devastated.The doctor shot her a look. "Get the father of the child to sign it, then. Without anyone to sign the consent paper, who's going to take responsibility if something goes wrong during the surgery?"Shelly knew that the doctor was merely advising

Shelly wavered at Courtney's words.Hayden was a brilliant man, and she could not help but wonder how his child would turn out.However, it would be a torment for the child to be born into a family that struggled to make ends meet, and if the child could choose, they might not want to be born into the world only to suffer.If she chose to give birth to the baby, the baby would be considered Hayden's illegitimate child."Look, you are hesitating." Courtney studied Shelly's face. "Reconsider, Shelly!""I've thought about it for days, but I can't afford to give birth to the baby. I don't have the time or money. I can't work while taking care of a child... nor can I get my mom to help on that front. My mom is ill, and my brother is just going into university..." Shelly said hysterically. "This isn't the right time to bring a new life into the picture.""Shelly, you are thinking too much. Your mom is recovering, right? Which means your dad can go back to work soon. Once he starts work

"You are Avery Tate, right? This baby belongs to your people... If you want him, you need to pay me," the woman said to Avery. "The person who sent me told me that you would pay me if I handed the baby to you. Just look at the weather today! It's not easy for me to travel all this way with your baby!"The servant hurried over and placed the jacket across Avery’s shoulders, just in time to hear what the woman had said. "We don't even know whose baby this is yet! Bring the baby's mother here to talk to us!" The servant was firmly on Avery's side.Avery and Elliot had had a harmonious marriage, and they had four children together.'Why would there be an illegitimate child out of nowhere? How will Avery accept this? How are Avery's children going to take this?' the servant thought."There's no point in you arguing with me! I'm just here to deliver the baby. If you refuse to pay me, then... I won't hand the baby over," the woman said angrily, dumbfounded that they felt no pity for the b

There was a slim possibility that someone had schemed to obtain his DNA to produce his child in a lab."What if the child is yours?" Avery asked, her voice muffled as she glared at him with tears in her eyes."It can't be mine! Even if he's mine, someone must have played some kind of trick! I don't love anyone but you!" Elliot's chest heaved. "If this child is mine, I will give everything up. You can have everything and all of our kids. I don't want anything."Avery pulled away from him and went back into the house.She would have left right away if they did not have any children. However, they had four children who were all adults at this point, so she knew that she could not act recklessly.If Elliot was truly cheating on her and had ended up having an illegitimate child, she knew that her children would not spare him.Avery took off her jacket once she returned to the living room, feeling like she was boiling with anger.The bodyguard carried the baby inside, and, though the
