Chapter 783 Touching the Bottom Line
Lyra believed Cecilia for a moment.
Cecilia seemed to have that kind of magic that made people want to trust what she said.
Even though she knew Cecilia might be playing her again.
Cecilia wasn't very aggressive.
In a calm and unhurried tone, she said, "Think about it, there's no rush."
After saying that.
Cecilia turned and left gracefully.
She knew very well that the more she said now, the more Lyra might resist.
It was better to let her think for herself.
Whether Lyra understood it or not, Lyra just wanted Cecilia to leave Alaric.
Now Cecilia was voluntarily leaving.
For Lyra, why not?
She didn't think Lyra would refuse.
Cecilia returned to the hospital bed.
The doctor said the baby was healthy.
She was very surprised.
Lying on the operating table, she was already prepared for an abortion.
She had already been bleeding in the morning.
After such a heavy fall, she thought the baby was gone.
She didn't know how she felt when she heard the doctor say the baby was strong, maybe a little sad.
Very sad.
So she didn't tell the doctor to perform the abortion.
She couldn't help but touch her abdomen.
It was already so obvious, obvious enough to deeply feel its presence.
When she placed her hand on her abdomen, the little one moved, as if responding to her.
Cecilia's heart ached terribly.
If she really didn't want this child, would the child hate her?
She lay silently on the bed.
Without Alaric, without Lyra, she let down all her defenses.
The discomfort on her face was evident.
George was in the ward with her, watching her expression change, knowing that Cecilia was just forcing herself to be strong.
He couldn't help but say, "Ms. Lockhart, let's eat something. It's good for the baby and for your health. Don't hurt yourself over unnecessary things."
Cecilia glanced at George.
Even now, George was still taking care of her meticulously.
Even though she and Alaric were in such a state, he was still dedicated.
She said, "George, thank you."
George was a bit embarrassed by Cecilia's gratitude. He quickly said, "It's my duty, you don't have to be so polite."
No one owes anyone anything.
She always believed that people should live with a grateful heart.
She was originally grateful to Alaric.
It was he who tore apart all the good between them bit by bit.
She said, "George, you can go back, I want to be alone."
"But you haven't eaten anything?"
"I'll eat when I can."
"Mr. Whitaker told me to make sure you eat well." George was very stubborn.
In George's mind, Alaric's words were like law.
She didn't want to make things difficult for George, so she took the bowl of oatmeal and ate a few bites.
She really had no appetite.
Too many things weighed on her mind, leaving her with no desire to eat.
She forced herself to eat half a bowl and said, "I really can't eat anymore, I want to sleep for a while."
"Okay." George didn't insist.
Seeing her eat was enough, he said, "I'll leave the oatmeal here, the thermos can keep it warm for at least three hours, Ms. Lockhart, if you get hungry, you can eat some anytime."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome," George said respectfully.
"George, you can go back."
"I..." George obviously didn't want to leave, wanting to stay with her.
"Go back, there's a senior nurse here, and the doctor said I'm fine. Besides, I feel like having some clam chowder tonight," Cecilia said.
"Alright, I'll go back and make it for you right away," George agreed quickly when he heard Cecilia wanted soup.
Cecilia smiled slightly.
She really didn't want to deceive George.
Maybe when George knew the truth, he wouldn't want to make any food for her anymore.
George left.
The room was left with only Cecilia.
The quieter it was, the more terrifying it became.
That feeling of being filled with fear could really make a person collapse.
But after some hesitation.
Cecilia made a decision.
She pressed the call button.
The doctor rushed over quickly, obviously afraid something had happened to her. He asked urgently, "Ms. Lockhart, are you feeling unwell? Is your stomach hurting or are you bleeding again?"
Cecilia shook her head, "No. I just want to consult about something."
The doctor breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully, "Please go ahead, Ms. Lockhart, I'll answer any questions you have."
Maybe it was because of Alaric's status.
The doctor was very cautious and respectful towards her.
She seemed to only now feel that Alaric had really changed.
From the former playboy, the most lecherous Alaric in Serenovia City, he had transformed into a president admired by thousands.
Cecilia silently adjusted her emotions and said, "If I have an abortion now, is it dangerous?"
The doctor was shocked.
He looked at Cecilia in disbelief.
From the beginning of her pregnancy to now, it had finally stabilized, the bleeding had no effect on the baby, and now she was talking about an abortion.
He couldn't believe it.
"You didn't hear wrong, I don't want this baby anymore, please arrange an abortion for me," Cecilia said calmly and seriously.
She wasn't joking.
The doctor couldn't say a word for a long time.
He didn't know what to say.
He didn't know how to respond.
Performing an abortion for the First Lady, no matter how capable he was, he didn't dare.
The doctor quickly said, "Ms. Lockhart, shouldn't you discuss this with Mr. Whitaker? I think the matter of the child should be between the two of you..."
"No need, my signature is enough," Cecilia said directly, "Just arrange the surgery, I'll bear all the consequences."
"But..."
"No more words," Cecilia interrupted him, "I hope it can be done as soon as possible."
"Then I'll arrange it," the doctor had no choice but to agree.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome," the doctor said respectfully.
Then he left the ward.
Cecilia lay on the bed, and after the doctor left, tears began to fall.
It wasn't that she was heartless, but this child really couldn't stay.
She admitted that most of the reason was her selfishness, she didn't want to be entangled with Alaric because of this child.
She knew very well that as long as the child was there, Alaric would have a thousand reasons to be with her.
But without this child, there would be no more ties between them.
And once she had an abortion, it would really touch Alaric's bottom line.
Alaric's strong pride couldn't accept it, and he would eventually choose to let her go.
