Chapter 6 We Need This Child Aborted!

Stuck between Mr. Bennet and Rue, Rachel could not do anything but press her hands hard against her abdomen.

She could not get away from both of them no matter how hard she struggled.

Although they were her father, her mother, and her sister, she felt like she was alone all those years living as a Bennet.

Even if the arrival of this child meant that she would lose her purity and reputation, at least, she would no longer be alone from that day onward.

Hence she must protect this child!

Mrs. Bennet quickly pulled the doctor aside and gave him a card. "Doctor, we don't know the father of the child, so the Bennets cannot have the child. Please, abort it."

The doctor did not accept the card that Mrs. Bennet tried so desperately to shove in his hand, but he set his eyes on Rachel, who continued to resist even though she was sweating buckets.

As she struggled, Rachel continuously used her hand to protect her abdomen delicately...

After observing her for a long while, he had made his decision. He was not sure if it was Rachel's determination to keep the child or her motherly aura.

He pushed Mrs. Bennet's card aside before he took a huge stride forward to push Mr. Bennet aside and pulled Rachel into his arms.

"I'm sorry, as long as the pregnant mother is unwilling, no one can make the decision for her!"

Rachel lifted her head to look at the doctor. For the first time in her life, she was glad to have a doctor.

Hearing the doctor's words, Mr. Bennet was angered.

"We can't?! But we are her family, her parents, why can't we make the decision for her?!"

Mrs. Bennet nodded in support of Mr. Bennet. "That's right, we're doing this for her own good! This pregnancy must be aborted!"

Rue then tried to persuade the doctor in another way. "Doctor, please consider this. If your fiancée was going to wed you in a week, but she's having someone else's child, what would you think?"

The doctor took a glance at Rachel and said resolutely, "If I love her, I will accept everything about her, including the child that is not mine. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing the doctor's answer, the three other Bennets were dumbfounded.

However, Rachel was truly moved. At that moment, she even felt tears welling up inside of her.

Her own family had forced her into a corner, yet a stranger could make her feel warm with just a sentence.

"Alright, fine, since she doesn't want the abortion, we'll take her cue."

Mrs. Bennet tugged on Mr. Bennet's hand as if she was hinting at something.

Rue had noticed the same thing Mrs. Bennet did too — there were plenty of paparazzi and reporters around them.

If this went on the news, the Bennet Group's reputation would be tarnished.

So, Rue nodded at Mr. Bennet. "That's right, dad, let's talk after we’re home."

Mr. Bennet swallowed the fury in his heart and glared at Rachel. "You can keep the child, now come home with us!"

Rachel pursed her lips but eventually followed behind the rest of the Bennets.

A gentle hand grabbed Rachel's wrist, slowly stopping her in her tracks.

"Remember, if you want to protect your child, you have to try your best. Then, you will be a good mother."

With a trusting smile hanging on the doctor’s face, he then let go of Rachel's wrist slowly.

Rachel's hand on her belly slowly tensed up in valor as if she was now filled with determination.

That's right! Now that she had become a mother, she had to try her best to protect her child!

Back at the Bennet villa, Mr. Bennet dragged Rachel's arm and threw her onto the sofa.

Rachel managed to turn around and land back first on the sofa with both her hands holding onto her tiny bump preciously.

"Rachel! Do you really want to have this kid?! Are you trying to ruin the Bennets?!"

Seeing Rachel’s action, Mr. Bennet's temper flared again and with one hand, he grabbed onto her hair.

Rachel felt as if her scalp was going to be pulled off.

Mrs. Bennet gave a light pat on Mr. Bennet's shoulder, then sat beside Rachel as she gently combed her hair.

"Rachel, we only want the best for you. This child will only become your burden, you don't even know who the father is. Keeping it would weigh harshly on your future, don't you think?"

Rachel's hands balled into a fist. "Mom, it's not a burden! I don't even like Ian, I don't want to be married to Ian! He feels the same too, so why do you want to force us together?"

Mrs. Bennet stopped her impatiently. "Rachel, your sister is going to inherit the Bennet Group in the future. You're sisters, you should be helping each other, don't you think?"

'Sisters? Helping each other? It just looks like I'm sacrificing myself to fulfill my dear sister's dream!' Rachel smiled bitterly. "Dad, mom, you were like this ever since I was young. You told me I should be able to sacrifice anything for my elder sister. You even want me to sacrifice my marriage to be a stepping stone for her?!"

Slap— With disappointment written all over her face, Mrs. Bennet struck Rachel across the face.

"Rachel! How can you talk about your dad and me like that? I gave birth to you and your sister after carrying you in my womb for ten whole months! Besides, your major was fashion design, you can't even be hired in the Bennet group, let alone manage it!"

With two red marks on her face, Rachel glared at Mr. and Mrs. Bennet.

Although she was used to being slapped, they were usually from her dad. However, this new slap mark was from her mom!

"Mom, don't make me laugh, you were the one who arranged for me to major in fashion design, wasn't it? And having Rue major in economic management was also your idea, right? From the beginning, you have decided to have her as an heir, while I was being cultivated as a fodder specially for Rue, isn't it?"

Hearing Rachel's accusation, both Mr. and Mrs. Bennet were speechless, and the same glint of shock appeared in their eyes.

Evidently, Rachel's accusation was exactly their train of thought.

However, they were not expecting their bizarre, foolish, obedient girl to be this clever.

Unbeknownst to Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, Rachel's IQ test result far exceeded Rue's!

Rue, a manipulative girl since young, had switched both their test results when they were a child.
