Chapter 243 Make Her Abort the Child (3)
James, gathering his last bit of resolve, said, "Tomorrow, I'll take you to the hospital myself. If you need to blame someone, blame me. It's the only way you can move on. Rose, I've wronged you."
Rose was shocked, unable to believe James could be so cold.
James, looking calm, said, "Get some rest tonight. I'll pick you up in the morning."
As he was about to leave, Rose suddenly hugged him from behind, desperate. "James, stay with me and the baby tonight. I'll have the surgery, but please, just stay with us one last time."
Her voice filled with pain, James couldn't refuse, staying but sleeping in the guest room.
Late at night, Rose lay awake, filled with hatred. 'Jessica,' she thought bitterly, clenching her fists. 'I'll never forgive you.'
Her phone rang, and she dismissed the caller ID with disgust, but the caller was persistent.
Rose knew she couldn't afford to offend some people. She had to endure.
She answered, lowering her voice, "Ambrose Mellon, what do you want?"
Ambrose's voice was sinister and charming. "Eager to cut ties with me? Don't forget, this child is mine. We've been close. How can you be so heartless?"
"I don't have time," Rose whispered, her tone shaky. "The doctor said no strenuous activities in the first three months."
Ambrose snorted, "My kid, but he'll call James 'Dad'? Not okay with that! Remember the Skyline Club incident? I covered for you, and this is my thanks? Pregnant with my kid, sleeping next to him?"
Rose took a deep breath, trying to calm him. "Ambrose, don't be mad. I haven't seen you because I'm afraid he'll notice. Didn't we agree this kid is for the Kelly family's assets? You'll get your share."
Ambrose smiled slowly. "Remember your promise. Betray me, and I'll expose everything. Let's see if James can still stand you!"
Feeling trapped, Rose was overwhelmed by the looming surgery. She turned to Ambrose for help, laying bare her plight.
"He's that heartless?" Ambrose sneered. "Daring to abort my child?"
Rose pleaded, "You have to help me. Otherwise, the child will be gone tomorrow. The Kelly family's assets will be out of reach."
Ambrose smirked confidently. "Don't worry, leave it to me. Once this is done, make it worth my while. How long has it been since I've had you?"
Disgust churned in Rose's stomach, but she forced herself to speak sweetly. "I know, haven't I always been yours?"
After the call, she felt a bit more at ease and fell asleep.
The next morning, Rose woke to find James already up.
