Chapter 159 What Are You Going to Do?
Dorothy realized she had let something slip, but it was too late to fix it, so she just lowered her head and stayed silent.
Susan got anxious and yanked Dorothy up. "Say something! Fine! If you won't talk, I'll go ask Henry myself."
With that, Susan angrily turned to leave and really intended to find Henry.
Seeing this, Dorothy quickly grabbed Susan's wrist. "Susan, it's his."
Hearing this, Susan was stunned for a moment, then stomped her foot in anger. "That Henry, I always thought he was a gentleman. Is this how a teacher should behave? Getting a student pregnant, he's not even human!"
In an instant, Henry's image in Susan's mind completely collapsed. She never imagined Henry would do such a thing.
"Susan, it's all my fault, don't blame him!" Dorothy still defended Henry.
Susan couldn't help but ask, "Not his fault? Should I blame you? Did you force him with a knife?"
"I took advantage of him being drunk that day and..." Dorothy trailed off, unable to continue.
Hearing this, Susan stared at Dorothy in shock for a moment, then squinted her eyes in disbelief. "What did you say? You went to him yourself?"
Actually, it wasn't hard to imagine. Dorothy was already head over heels for Henry, while Henry didn't seem to care much about Dorothy.
"That day, the school had a social event. He got drunk, and I, along with two classmates, took him home. Seeing how drunk he was, I stayed to take care of him. Susan, I really love him. I couldn't control myself from wanting to be close to him, to have him. I just didn't expect to get pregnant from just one time!" At this point, Dorothy was sobbing uncontrollably, covering her face.
Susan never imagined that the usually well-behaved Dorothy would have the guts to do such a thing. Shocked, she was also furious.
"You're already twenty. Haven't you taken biology class? Don't you know that sex can lead to pregnancy? It's fine if you want to do it, but you need to protect yourself, understand?" Susan was so angry she was pacing around the room.
But as Susan calmed down, she remembered she was a few years older than Dorothy. Didn't she also fail to protect herself last time and ended up having a child with Seb?
If it weren't for that child, how would she have had the later story with Seb, and how would she have been hurt by him repeatedly?
So, after calming down, Susan felt a bit sympathetic towards Dorothy.
She approached and stroked Dorothy's hair, actually admiring Dorothy's courage a little.
Dorothy could pursue love recklessly, but what about her? She always buried her love deep inside.
She didn't dare to pursue, didn't dare to ask, and didn't dare to confess her love when Seb didn't love her.
Compared to Dorothy, her heart was repressed. She would never have Dorothy's courage in her lifetime.
The next moment, Dorothy grabbed Susan's hand and pleaded, "Susan, please let me keep the baby. I really can't live without this child. Besides, I've already been to the hospital and asked the doctor. I'm over four months pregnant. If I abort now, it would be an induced labor, and if something goes wrong, I might never be able to have children again!"
Susan knew Dorothy wasn't lying; she had enough medical knowledge to understand that.
Susan lowered her head and thought for a long time. Dorothy didn't dare to speak, waiting for Susan's answer.
The next moment, Susan suddenly grabbed Dorothy's wrist and said, "You can keep the baby, but the father must agree. Come on, I'll take you to Henry!"
Hearing that they were going to find Henry, Dorothy refused to go.
"No! I don't want to go." Dorothy broke free from Susan's hand and hid in the corner.
"Susan, I beg you, I really can't face him!" Dorothy pleaded.
Susan looked at Dorothy for a moment, then said harshly, "Fine, if you don't go, I'll go to the university and let all the teachers and students know that Professor Henry got a student pregnant. Let's see how he can stay at the school then?"
With that, Susan really turned to leave.
This tactic worked. Dorothy loved Henry too much to let Susan do anything that would harm him.
The next moment, Dorothy called out to Susan.
"Susan, I'll go with you!"
Hearing this, Susan, with her back to Dorothy, smirked, then turned and pulled Dorothy out.
As they left the bedroom, Catherine was already standing at the door.
She looked at Dorothy behind Susan with a sinister gaze and asked, "Is the baby in your belly Henry's?"
Dorothy didn't dare to speak. Catherine stepped forward and slapped Dorothy across the face!
"How did I raise such a shameless girl, climbing into someone's bed?"
Dorothy was too stunned to speak, her face full of sorrow and dejection.
Seeing this, Susan quickly persuaded Catherine, "Mom, this isn't the time to scold Dorothy. I'm taking her to find Henry. He must take responsibility for this!"
With that, Susan pulled Dorothy out the door.
At Dorothy's repeated pleas, Susan didn't go directly to the university but to Henry's house.
Of course, Susan only wanted to scare Dorothy. She didn't really want to make a scene at the university, as it wouldn't benefit Dorothy at all.
They waited at Henry's door for over an hour before Henry finally arrived.
Seeing Susan and Dorothy, Henry was a bit surprised.
"What are you doing here?" Henry's gaze mostly fell on Susan.
Susan scrutinized Henry, noticing that although he still looked neat, he didn't seem as spirited as usual, with a hint of helplessness and melancholy in his eyes.
"I brought Dorothy to talk about the matter between you and her," Susan said stiffly.
Dorothy was pregnant with Henry's child. Regardless of who was at fault, how could Susan be in a good mood?
Glancing at Dorothy, Henry said indifferently, "Come in and talk."
Then, Henry opened the door and invited Susan and Dorothy in.
Susan and Dorothy sat on the couch, and Henry busied himself with getting water.
Susan coldly said, "No need for water. We're not here to drink."
Hearing this, Henry frowned slightly, then turned and sat on a single sofa.
Then, Susan got straight to the point. "Dorothy is pregnant with your child!"
Hearing this, Henry looked at Susan without any doubt or denial, just maintaining his silence.
Seeing this, Susan said, "It seems you already know. I won't say more. I just want to know what you plan to do about Dorothy and the baby in her belly?"
