Chapter 609 Don’t Want This Baby

Simon emerged as Lilian's sole support, her last tether to the world now devoid of family. Only he remained to offer solace and care in her desolation.

Yet, even Simon harbored a disdainful view of Lilian after learning of her recent actions.

Without hesitation, Lilian reached out to Simon, dialing his number repeatedly in desperate succession, each unanswered call fueling her escalating distress.

Frantic, Lilian's companion sent a plea to Simon, informing him of Lilian's intent to terminate her pregnancy. Reacting promptly, Simon reached out to Lilian, who, tearfully, accepted his call.

In that moment, it dawned on her that Simon stood as her unwavering anchor in a tumultuous sea, irrespective of her transgressions or the person she had become.

"Simon," she choked out amidst sobs, "I was wrong. I was blinded by Darwin. I've committed grievous wrongs, yet you persist in standing by me..."

On the other end, Simon exhaled heavily. "You're considering an abortion?"

"Yes! I want to rid myself of this wretched burden!" Lilian responded fervently.

"Simply because Darwin desires it? Lilian, this child is still yours!" Simon's voice resonated with deep conviction, driven by his own longing for fatherhood, a desire unfulfilled due to certain circumstances. He had prepared himself to embrace fatherhood through Lilian's child.

"No!" Lilian's voice rose with fervor.

"What do you mean, 'no'?" Simon inquired, his voice tinged with concern as he recognized Lilian's declining mental state. Taking action, he arranged for Lilian to seek professional help, accompanying her to appointments upon her return home.

"This child is not mine! Simon, the Solomon family deceived me horribly!" Lilian cried out bitterly, recounting the manipulation she had endured. "Anniston tricked me into using my eggs, supposedly fertilized by Darwin, but he substituted the sperm. I'm merely a vessel nurturing this abomination!"

Simon was staggered by the revelation. He had suspected foul play in the DNA test with Darwin, yet the truth proved far more incredulous.

"It's imperative I rid myself of this child! I cannot endure its presence a moment longer. I'm repulsed, utterly repulsed! Anniston's demise was too swift! I long to see her suffer in eternal damnation!" Lilian's words dripped with anguish and loathing.

"Lilian, calm yourself. I'll arrange for a doctor," Simon offered solace.

"No, I cannot endure this any longer. Quickly, secure a doctor. I wish to be rid of this abomination without delay!" Lilian's resolve remained unyielding, heedless of Simon's attempts to persuade her otherwise.

Helpless, Simon acceded to Lilian's wishes, acknowledging the humiliation wrought by the child's existence.

That fateful night, Lilian was wheeled into the operating theater.

Before proceeding, the doctor reviewed the scans, confronting Lilian with the reality of her decision. "This is a healthy boy. Are you certain?"

"Proceed!" Lilian's response was resolute.

Under anesthesia, the procedure commenced.

In her dreams, Lilian had glimpsed the child within her, not merely a figment but a cherished presence. Yet, reality shattered that illusion.

The child cried out in her dream, a poignant plea for maternal love amidst Lilian's repudiation.

Awakening with a start, Lilian confronted the aftermath of her decision, grappling with the absence that now haunted her.

Simon's voice pierced through her reverie, offering a lifeline amidst her despair.

Yet, Lilian's anguish persisted, her heart weighed down by the injustice thrust upon her.

"Why must I suffer so unjustly?" she lamented to Simon, her grief palpable.

"Do you still intend to confront Chelsea?" Simon's tone darkened, foreseeing the turmoil that lay ahead.

"No, I've seen Darwin for what he truly is. He's devoid of love... too callous to care for someone he claims to love!" Lilian's voice trembled with indignation.

"I want them to suffer, to pay for their sins!" Lilian's resolve remained unyielding, her thirst for retribution unquenched.

As Simon urged her to abandon thoughts of vengeance, Lilian questioned his motives, sensing his apprehension toward Darwin's family.

"It's not fear, Lilian. I desire your happiness, free from the shackles of hatred," Simon affirmed, his words laden with sincerity.

"Since learning of Darwin's surrogate, have you found peace? True happiness?" Simon implored. "It's time to reclaim your life, Lilian. Your life." "
