Semua Bab Loving Me Too Late: Bab 1 - Bab 9

"Mrs. Palmer, do you really want to terminate this pregnancy? You know Mr. Palmer's situation. If you go through with this, it'll be very difficult for him to have children in the future. Once the abortion is done, there's no turning back!"The doctor looked at me in disbelief and even took out Henry's medical report."Mrs. Palmer, the fact that you were able to conceive Mr. Palmer's child this time is already considered a medical miracle. I advise you to reconsider—""No need. Go ahead with the procedure," I interrupted the doctor calmly.Since no one cared about this child, why should I take the risk of giving birth, only for the child to suffer in this world?After scheduling the abortion, I returned to Henry Palmer's villa.He was just walking out of the kitchen while carrying a lunchbox.Seeing me return weak and pale, he didn't even pause for a second. He simply reminded me, "I left some chicken soup in the pot to help replenish your blood. Make sure you have it for dinner

I heard what he said.Lying on the bed, I panted heavily. My eyes turned red.I met Henry at a musical.I was a dancer on stage, and he was a musician for the show. Our teacher introduced us.The first time I saw him, I was captivated by his dedication to music.During rehearsals, I was careless and almost fell off the stage.Henry caught me in time, cushioning my fall so I didn't get hurt. But his right leg fractured.At that time, I was trembling in fear.He hugged me tightly."What are you afraid of? I don't want any compensation from you. Besides, even if my leg is broken, it won't affect me much. But for you, a fracture in your leg would change your entire life."I fell into his gentle embrace because of those words. Unfortunately, I now realized that dedication to music didn't mean loyalty in love.He loved the way I danced, but he could just as easily fall for Queenie's youthful movements.I was half-asleep and vaguely heard Henry push the door open.He was holdin

"I'm sorry, sir, but that is confidential."The nurse's response did not satisfy Henry."I'm the patient's family. I have the right to know what surgery she's having!" Henry pressed. A faint layer of sweat appeared on his forehead."If you're the patient's family, then you should already know what surgery she's having. You wouldn't have asked me."When he didn't get an answer, the panic in his heart grew stronger.Henry started pounding on the tightly shut operating room doors."Open the door! Open the door!"His eyes turned red.Images of the moment he had just seen kept flashing through his mind.But since the surgery had already begun, it was impossible to stop.Two security guards removed Henry from the area forcibly.…As I lay on the bed, I heard Henry shouting vaguely.A relaxed smile tugged at my lips before I drifted into unconsciousness.When I opened my eyes again, Henry was right by my bedside.It seemed as if he had been here for a long time.His eyes were

Sure enough, the moment our parents' voices reached the hallway outside the ward, Queenie rushed out. She threw herself into my mother's arms and sobbed.At first, my parents were stunned upon seeing me hospitalized. But soon, their gazes turned cold and sharp."Stephanie, all you did was donate a little blood. Why are you acting sick and staying in the hospital? Hurry up and discharge yourself! Get home and cook for your sister!"After a round of scolding, as if that wasn't enough, Queenie leaned in and whispered something into my mother's ear. My mother's expression immediately darkened."And I order you to apologize to Queenie right now! Why would you say such hurtful things to her?"Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.At this point, I had completely given up on them."Why should I apologize? What exactly did I say that was wrong? Queenie can do whatever she wants, but I'm not allowed to talk about it? If she knows I hate her, then why does she keep appearing in

I competed in the dance competition and won the silver medal.My teacher looked at me regretfully."If you hadn't been pregnant and had trained harder during that time, you definitely could have won the gold."Still, I was satisfied.Winning silver was already proof of my ability.The moment I stepped off the plane, Matthew greeted me with a bouquet of flowers."Congratulations, little beggar! I didn't expect you to actually win an award."I was extremely grateful to him.If he hadn't taken the initiative to expose Queenie for bribing the judges, I never would have had the chance to compete."I should thank you. Without you, I wouldn't have had any hope of participating in the competition."A hint of a smile appeared in Matthew's eyes."A simple thank-you isn't enough. How about treating me to a meal?""Of course! Not just one meal—ten meals if you want! You fed me so many times when we were kids. Consider this as me repaying you!"I thought it was just a joke, but Matthew
