Another week went by, and Shea's funeral took place in a certain five-star hotel.According to her dying wish, her family had only invited their closest family members and friends.Hayden had hurried back three days ago and had been devastated that he had not had the chance to say goodbye to Shea.The last time he had spoken to Shea had been during the New Year's celebration.Shea had come up to him and had talked to him about his career, marriage, and family.Hayden had not known that that was to be his last conversation with Shea.Though he had seen Shea during Layla's wedding, he had been too preoccupied with entertaining the guests and had not been able to say much to Shea.After the ceremony, Shea's body was to be sent for cremation.Hayden pressed his hands against the coffin, refusing to let them take her away.Avery tapped him on the shoulder and signaled for him to let go."Let her rest in peace, Hayden," Wesley said. "She said that she had already said her goodbyes

"Alright! Try the pregnancy test. There are instructions written inside. Just follow the steps." The staff scanned the pregnancy test and helped her with the payment.After the payment, Shelly immediately shoved the pregnancy test into her bag and hurried back to her apartment.Courtney had just spent the last bit of her savings and was packing to go home."Shelly, my tenancy contract doesn't expire until a month after today, so I might come by anytime," Courtney said to Shelly. "Pray for me. I don't want to get into another big fight with my family. Living with no money sucks.""Just apologize to them first. I'm sure they don't want to see you suffer." Shelly set her bag down to walk Courtney out of the apartment."What medicine did you buy?" Courtney glanced at the bag."Oh... My period is late by a few days. It's not a big deal.""Oh, that's normal, isn't it? It's not like it's a few months late. I once went on an extreme diet, and I didn't get my period for two months straig

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,

The hospital was not open at this hour.She sat down on the couch as the image of Hayden's face filled her mind.Hayden might not remember her, but she remembered everything about him.Though Hayden's company was not based in Aryadelle, he was born and raised in Aryadelle so news about him had never been far from Shelly's ears.He was an extremely talented businessman with great looks and a powerful family background, so he tended to draw more attention to himself than actors in the entertainment business did.Shelly unlocked her phone and searched for Hayden's name on the internet and was instantly greeted by countless articles about him.The latest news reported that Hayden had returned to Aryadelle to be at a family member's funeral.Shelly clicked on the article and realized that Hayden's aunt had passed away.Since the funeral had taken place the day before, Hayden should still be in Avonsville.'So what if he is in Avonsville? Am I supposed to just go and tell him that I

"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 had considered everything.She concluded that she could not keep the child and had to keep her pregnancy a secret from her family and colleagues."What is it? Do you need money? How much?" Courtney asked."No. It's not that. Let's just meet and talk!" Shelly could not bring herself to talk about it over the phone."Alright. Are you at the apartment now? I will drop by later.""Sure."Forty minutes later, Courtney arrived at the flat, and Shelly was waiting with a home-cooked meal.Courtney's lips curled into a smile. "Shelly, it's not even time for lunch yet! What's so important that you can't talk about it over the phone? I'm itching to know."She sat down in a chair and stared at Shelly.Shelly poured her a glass of water and sat down next to her. "Courtney, we don't have any mutual friends, and you don't know my family, so you are the only one I could think of to ask," Shelly said seriously. "I'm pregnant, and I want an abortion, but the hospital requires a third par
Chapter 2908
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

It was a cloudy day, and there was not a soul in the street so when a car stopped outside the mansion, the servant immediately headed toward the gate. "I didn't hear that we were expecting guests!"The bodyguard went over as well.It was a taxi, and once the car door opened, the servant and bodyguard froze at the sound of a baby crying.It had been years since the sound of a baby crying had been heard in Elliot's mansion.The bodyguard immediately opened the gate and went outside to survey the situation, and the servant hurried after him.A middle-aged woman with a baby in her arms stepped out, and since it was snowing, the woman had wrapped the baby tightly in a blanket."Who are you?" the servant asked curiously. "Do you know the owner of this place?"The woman shook her head and said, "Is this Elliot Foster's house? I'm here to deliver a baby. The security guard didn't want to let me in and only made an exception when I said that this baby belongs to the Fosters."Both the b
