"It hurts so much, Amelia! How could he do this to me? It hurts!" Mia was indeed hurting, but she also wanted to convince Amelia. They were going to keep talking when a servant came to the room and bowed to Mia, respectfully but firmly saying, "Please leave, Ms. Davis!""What's with that attitude, Ms. Murphy?" Amelia was offended by her disrespect."Mrs. Miller said it was time for Ms. Davis to leave. She was already very clear about that!" Ms. Murphy said, her tone clearly mocking Mia's shamelessness.Mia's face paled. This didn't feel right at all, being someone whom Aunt Grace wanted to kick out. This place had been her home since childhood, so why … "Mia!" Amelia looked at her with pity.Mia forced a smile, then said, "I'm off, then.""I'll tell Mom!""Have you forgotten, Ms. Amelia? You're forbidden from going past this door." Ms. Murphy's tone sharpened. Clearly, she was reminding Amelia not to mind other people's business when she couldn't even handle her own. Amelia

On the way, she called Tally. But Tally seemed to be busy, so she didn't pick up.Kathryn had to locate the hospital using the address Tally had provided. She then met with the doctor. The doctor was a middle-aged woman. She smiled when she saw Kathryn."Tally told me everything. Just relax," she said.Kathryn lay down on the bed. She had done a similar checkup yesterday, but the results probably weren't accurate because Tally had messed with it. However, she didn't tell the doctor that. So, she had to do the test again. This was the first time she had done a serious checkup since she got pregnant. When the doctor turned the screen toward Kathryn, she could instantly see what was going on in her stomach. "The baby's growing well.""Huh? Where is it?" Kathryn looked at the screen in confusion. She couldn't see a baby anywhere on it.The doctor zoomed in on a spot, then circled it for her. "See? It's already the size of a strawberry."Kathryn noticed that it was true. That bund

"Will you really feel pain?" Kathryn put a hand on her belly in confusion. Looking at the ultrasound image, she noticed the doctor had circled the tiny baby.How could such a tiny thing have a heartbeat? "Ugh, forget about feeling pain. You'll have to stay here in my belly for now." Kathryn closed her eyes. At this moment, she had made the best choice she could. She was keeping this child!That meant she would need to find a way to leave Harborlean. After that, Tally called. She hadn't picked up Kathryn's calls before she went to the hospital, so Kathryn picked up instantly. "Tally?""Is it gone?" Tally asked. She'd gone over for an interview at Skyline Group, so she didn't have the time to talk to Kathryn. Since Markus had talked to the interviewers, she was hired."Tally, we need to talk." Kathryn choked up.When Tally heard her sniffling, she asked, "W-What now?" Tally was already planning to stop minding Kathryn's business, but she felt pity just hearing her tone. "Let's

The moment she left that hospital, Kathryn had made up her mind about leaving Harborlean. She always had strong principles, after all.Tally was now tearing up because of Kathryn. "Is it worth it?" Chris was a dangerous person. Leaving seemed like the only option if they were going to keep things a secret."I'm all the baby has!" When Kathryn heard that the baby would feel pain, her heart ached. If she was the baby's mother, how could she not protect it? That was why she had decided that no matter what, she needed to give birth to this kid and protect it."Oh, Kathryn!" Tally's heart ached too, especially because the abortion was her idea. Some mothers would never hurt their own children, she supposed.After Tally left, Kathryn stayed in the café for a long, long time. She thought about what to tell Chris if she was leaving. Obviously, she had to leave before she started to show. That meant she only had a month or so, right?Suddenly, Kathryn's phone buzzed, snapping her

"Then, you can either go back home or sleep on the streets!" Kathryn said coldly."Wait, what the hell does that mean? Do you have any idea how hard our lives are right now?" Wendy grumbled. "Maxwell has never been your only child! It's your fault you've spoiled him so much that he's still a freeloader at this age. Why are you begging for someone else's help?""What do you mean 'a freeloader'? Do you have any idea how much college costs?""Jessica and I earned our allowances by working part-time when we were in college! We know exactly how much it costs!" Kathryn's sharp replies left Wendy unable to talk back.Not only that, Wendy's chest seized up when she heard the response. "Wait, that's—" She got anxious when she realized Kathryn wasn't going to help.She'd always known that the two weren't close, but she didn't know Kathryn would be this cruel. Could it be? Had she found out that she wasn't really her mother?Wendy thought the idea was implausible. If Kathryn knew, wit
