Chapter 15 He forced me to abort the baby!
After Ezra left, Arabella had always been in a state of fear and unease.
She knew that man. As long as he wanted to, he would definitely use all means to achieve his goal. Today, she was lucky enough to escape, but next time, it would not be so eazy.
Emma and Wyatt knew that they'd better not involve in her family affairs, so they comforted Arabella for a while and left.
"Arabella, why are you doing this? You will live better if you leave Ezra."
Before leaving, Emma looked worriedly at the girl on the bed and sighed.
Arabella's eyelashes trembled and she did not say anything else.
When the ward returned to silence, the woman slowly loosened her grip.
Her sadness and hatred were like sharp knives, cutting her heart into pieces.
Ezra had long been possessed by Beth Ruth. In order to marry Beth Ruth, he did not hesitate to kill his own child...
No! This is her child, she must protect him!
Finally, the woman's eyes became firm and she grabbed the phone beside her.
She wanted to call her grandfather. This was her last hope! Only he could suppress Ezra!
After so many years, Ezra's grandfather was the only one in James' family who stand by her side.
His health was not good, and Arabella did not want him to worry about her.
If he knew that Ezra wanted her to abort the child, he would definitely be angry again...
But if she did not do this, Ezra would force her to abort the child sooner or later!
Arabella closed her eyes tightly, wrapped her arms around her belly, and murmured, "I'm sorry, baby. Mom is useless. Mom can't protect you..."
The evening in early summer was humid and sultry.
The people outside the room walked in a hurry, while the people in the room were sitting quietly on the bed. The door separated two different worlds.
The woman dialed a number with trembling hands. Soon, the phone was connected.
"Hello?" A old man asked.
"Grandpa, it's Arabella."
Hearing this familiar and intimate voice, the grievance and fear that Arabella had been suppressing for a long time almost burst out. She tightly grabbed the bed sheet and pursed her thin lips until they were white.
"Arabella? Why did you call me? Did something happen?" Arthur James asked with a smile.
Arabella took a deep breath and made up her mind. "Grandpa, I'm pregnant."
The old man on the other side was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed in surprise. "Really? That's...that's great! The James' family has a heir now!"
"Then when are you going home? I can't wait to see my great-grandson..."
Hearing the joy in the voice of Arthur James on the phone, Arabella's heart sank and she did not speak for a while.
Perhaps because he noticed that something was wrong with her, the old man slowed down. "Arabella? What happened?"
Hearing this, Arabella could no longer hold back. She covered her mouth and cried weakly, "Ezra doesn't want this child and forced me to abort him. Grandfather, I really don't know what to do..."
Arthur James seemed to be stunned. After half a second, he suddenly coughed.
"Cough cough... How dare..."
The rapid cough made Arabella instantly panic, and she hurriedly said, "Grandpa, calm down! The child is still there!"
Arthur James coughed for a long time before finally regaining his breath. He said in a low voice, "Arabella, don't be afraid. I will send someone to bring you back now. You stay there and take good care of the baby. No one dares to touch my great-grandson!"
Hearing his forceful and hoarse voice, the grievances and fright that Arabella had suffered this day seemed to finally have a vent.
Under the warm yellow light, Arabella looked fragile and weak. She held the phone and burst into tears.
She did not know what she did was right or wrong, but as long as she could protect the child, everything was worth it!
Even the father of the child could not hurt her baby!
Arthur James kept his word and asked the driver to pick Arabella up from the hospital that night.
He even waited at the door. When he saw Arabella carefully get out of the car with the help of the car door, her thin and fragile appearance made Arthur James' eyes red.
In his impression, Arabella had always been elegant and grace, now she was so haggard and weak as if a gust of wind could blow her down.
Arthur James was so worried and wanted to say something, but all the unspoken words eventually turned into a sigh.
Arabella was pregnant, and it should have been a happy occasion for James' family, but all Ezra cared about was that vixen Beth Ruth.
What a tragedy of the family!
Arthur James coughed for a while and patted Arabella's hand with a smile, "You have suffered a lot recently. From now on, you stay here and take care of yourself and the unborn baby!"
"Thank you, grandpa!" The stone that had been hanging in the Arabella's heart for the entire day was finally put down when she saw Arthur James. The corners of her eyes were slightly moist, and she was pulled into the living room by Arthur James.
As soon as she stepped through the door, she immediately heard a sharp and mean female voice.
"Dad, don't worry. I will take good care of Arabella. After all, this unborn child is the first grandson of our James' family!"
Gaby James seemed to be talking to Arthur James, but the content of her words implied something else.
She raised her eyebrows at Arabella and said in a strange tone, "But I have never heard of a pregnant woman who is so vulnerable. You are Ruth's family's elder daughter, I guess you are even more precious than others!"
Gaby James did not expect that she was pregnant not long after she mocked her last time for not having a child!
When she just learned the news, she was shocked but more of it was the shame of being slapped on the face.
"Auntie, just stop. Arabella is pregnant with my brother's child. Aren't you afraid that she will be angry?"
Andrew James suddenly came down from upstairs with a faint smile on his pale, sickly face. He looked at Arabella with a meaningful gaze.
He was clearly smiling, but Arabella somehow felt a kind of coldness as if she was being stared at by a snake.
"You two shut up. In the future, Arabella is the most important person in this family! If you dare to cause trouble for her, then you can get out of here!" Arthur James glared at the two of them and warned them.
"Got it, Dad." Although Gaby James was unwilling, she did not dare to refute.
Andrew James chuckled and lowered his eyes. "I got it, grandpa."
"Grandpa, I'm a little tired. Can I go back to my room to rest?" Arabella suddenly said softly. There was still a knot between her eyebrows, and her gentle and gloomy appearance was pitiful.
Although living in the old house could avoid Ezra, Arabella also knew in her heart that the two people in front of her were not good people. She was afraid that she would have to be careful in the future...
"I've already asked someone to clean up the room for you. Go and rest!" Arthur James sighed and had the servants bring Arabella upstairs to rest.
