Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce!

Chapter 167 Deciding to Abort the Child

After the end of the call, Julien put down his phone, his eyes dark and obscure.

He was thinking about what Hunter said.

Maybe Hunter was right. Sometimes, if some things were delayed, uncontrollable developments might end up occurring.

At that thought, Julien picked up his phone and tapped into Sydney's chatroom. [I know about your pregnancy.]

Sydney was reading documents when her phone suddenly vibrated.

She looked up and was surprised to see that it was a message from Z-H.

It had not been long since the chat ended. Why did he send a message again?

"What did he say?" Sydney opened it curiously.

However, when she saw the contents of the message, her whole body stiffened.

He knew?

Sydney clenched her fist and took the phone with a frown. [How did you know?] [Z-H: Your friend went to Hunter, and Hunter told me.

Sydney was struck by a realization at those words and could not help but slap her forehead.

So, that was it. She thought that he planted his people around her.

Sure enough, the saying that pregnancy caused a woman to be dumb for three years was true. She did not even think of that possibility.

Sydney's fingers flew across the screen. [Since you already know, I won't hide it from you. Yes, I'm pregnant.]

[Z-H: Why didn't you tell me?]

Sydney frowned. [Why should I tell you?]

Julien’s expression darkened at her reply.

Why?

She was asking why?

[Z-H: Because I'm the child's father.]

Sydney curled her lips. [You're indeed the child's father, but that doesn't mean I have to tell you. What happened between us was an accident. And it was an accident that this child was conceived as well.

Besides, we don't even know each other. I don't know who you are and I don't need you to take responsibility. Why should I tell you just because you're the child's father?]

"..." Julien suddenly had no words. His thin lips pursed tightly.

He knew what she said was right. Her thoughts were right as well.

However, his heart still felt upset.

Pinching his temples, he typed: [Although you don't need me to take responsibility, I still have to bear this responsibility. I want to know what you think about the child. Are you going to keep it or]

He suddenly stopped typing. After a few seconds, he clenched his fists, then typed out the remaining words and sent them to her.

Sydney's heart contracted when she saw him ask whether she planned to keep the child or abort it.

Although the doctor asked this question before, she was immersed in the shock of her pregnancy at that time and did not think about what to do with the child at all.

However, now that the child's father was asking, she had to pay attention to this issue.

Sydney bit her lower lip and typed with trembling fingers: [I don't know.]

Julien was not surprised by her answer.

These days, she had not been to the hospital for an examination, so she must not have decided yet.

[Z-H: It’s okay, you can think about it slowly. If you want to keep it, then keep it. I'll raise it with you secretly. If you don't want to keep it, I'll make it up to

you too."

Raise it secretly...

Sydney's eyes narrowed at those three words. She typed: [Okay, I'll think about it.]

[Z-H: Tell me after you made your decision.]

The corners of Sydney's mouth tugged. She did not reply and turned off her phone directly.

Since he said "raise it secretly", it was clear that he did not intend to publicly acknowledge the child in her belly.

In that case, he was either married, had a girlfriend or fiancee, or his family did not allow him to have children outside. Thus, he said that he would raise it secretly so as to not let others know that he was the father of the child.

However, whichever it was, it made no difference to her. The child in her belly was an unwelcome illegitimate child.

It was not welcomed by its mother and father, much less the father's family.

In that case, it was obvious what to do with the child.

Sydney touched her lower abdomen.

"A child should be conceived with a person I like, not with a strange man I have no feelings for."

She could not accept that her baby was an illegitimate child, so...

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm not a good mother. You shouldn't have come to my belly. I'm sorry..." Sydney clutched her clothes on her belly, enduring the pain in her heart as she apologized to the baby growing inside her.

At that moment, the office door was pushed open and Luke rushed in, his face full of anger.

"What's wrong?" Sydney put away her guilt and looked up at him.

Luke went to Sydney's desk, picked up her coffee, and drank it.

Sydney could not even stop him.

Forget it, it was just a cup of coffee.

If he did not care that she drank from it before, she would not point it out to him.

"Damn it, Hunter!" Luke slammed the empty coffee cup on the desk and swore.

Sydney blinked. "What happened to him?"

"I went to him and told him to hand that guy over, but he said that that man is abroad."

"He is," said Sydney.

Luke snorted. "So, I told Hunter to give me that man's phone number, but guess what? He gave me a disconnected phone number! Goddammit!"

Sydney snickered. "Maybe Hunter didn't do it on purpose and he did change his number?" "Who knows? In any case, I'm not letting the matter rest. I'll definitely find that man." Luke slapped the table.

Sydney rubbed her temples. "Well, he already knows about my pregnancy. Hunter told him. He just messaged me earlier, too."

"Hunter told him?" Luke frowned and immediately became serious. "Oh, so Hunter was messing with me by giving me a disconnected phone number. How else could he have gotten in touch with that man?"

"Uh..." Sydney also paused.

Right, Hunter gave Luke Z-H's number, but it was a disconnected number. However, Hunter could call Z-H himself.

This proved that Hunter did not give Luke Z-H's real number. Why did Hunter do that?

"Sh*t! Hunter, that son of a b*tch!" Luke's fists itched to hit someone. "The next time I see him, I'm going to beat him up. How dare he toy with me?"ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"Enough already. Let's put aside the matter with Hunter for now. Aren't you curious about what that man said to me?" Sydney looked at him.

Luke approached Sydney. "What did he say? Did he deny it? Or..."

"No, he didn't deny that the baby in my belly was his. He said he's willing to take responsibility," said

Sydney.

Luke's expression improved. "That's more like it. That's how a man should act, otherwise, he's not a man at all. How is he planning to take responsibility?"

"Luke, what do you think of me aborting the child?" Sydney asked instead.

Luke's expression turned solemn. "Are you serious?"

Sydney nodded. "Yes. I don't want to give birth to a child of a man who I have no feelings for, and I don't want this child to be illegitimate, so I'm thinking of aborting it."

Luke smiled. "That's good. Since that night was an accident, the child shouldn't stay either. It's better that way for both you and that man, as well as the child in your belly. Darling, it’s great that you could figure it out."

With the support of her friend, Sydney's decision to abort the baby became even firmer.

She took a deep breath and nodded. "He said that if I abort the baby, he’ll make every effort to compensate me. I don't know what he means by compensation, though."

"It's probably just money," said Luke.

Sydney laughed. "I think so too."

"Darling, when do you plan to have the operation? I'll go with you," Luke looked at her and asked.

Sydney shook her head. "I haven’t decided yet."

She just decided to abort the child. She had not thought that far yet.

After thinking about it, she said, "The day after tomorrow. I’m free that day."

"Got it." Luke hummed and agreed.

Then, Sydney looked at the time and stood up. "All right, I have to go to the hotel now. The results for the proposals handed to Flint Corporation are being released today."
