Become the Wife of A CEO

Even till now, Horace still didn’t believe that Laura framed her. If she told him about it today, he might think otherwise of her.

Things had finally started to patch up between the two of them, Clara didn’t want to argue with him again because of Laura. She thought she should tell him about this later.

Without asking any question, Horace held her tightly in his arms, cherishing this moment they hadn’t had for so long.

Soon, days had passed since Horace agreed to keep the baby.

They had been getting along in the past few days. Although Horace hadn’t been in high spirits, he never mentioned aborting the baby to Clara again and they hadn’t fought over it.

Knowing that Horace had really taken the baby in, Clara was both moved and determined that she would prove her innocence as soon as possible. She knew that only in this way could Horace begin to love the child.

This child was a gift for the both of them and it deserved the best in the world, including its father’s love for it.

On this day, Clara asked Horace to do a prenatal check-up with her in the hospital. Hearing her request, Horace felt uncomfortable. But since he had decided to keep the baby, no matter how uncomfortable he felt, he wouldn’t let Clara go through all this alone.

Looking at Horace, who was making an appointment for her on the phone, Clara felt warm in her heart. Of course, she knew that Horace must have mixed feelings about this, but even so, he agreed to go with her and even made an appointment for her.

“It’s done. We’ll get to the hospital at 2 in the afternoon,” Horace said to Clara after hanging up the phone, “I will pick you up to the hospital after I get off work at noon.”

“If you are busy with your work, I can do this by myself.” Although she wanted his company, she didn’t want to occupy his time. He seemed quite busy recently.

“It’s okay, I’m free at noon.” Horace would be worried if Clara went there alone. “I need to go to work now. You should take a rest.”

“Okay,” Clara replied with a smile.

After kissing her on the forehead, Horace left the house.

Clara waited at home. She was both nervous and excited about her first prenatal check-up. Finally, it was one o’clock in the afternoon, but Horace didn’t come back.

When Clara was about to call and ask, his call came first.

“I’m sorry, C. I have an urgent meeting here. I may not be able to go with you, can you do it on your own?” Horace said apologetically.

“Of course, go on with your work, I can do this,” Clara hurriedly answered.

Worried, Horace said, “Be careful, okay?”

“I will.”

After that, Clara hung up the phone. Although she was a little disappointed that Horace couldn’t go with her, she could understand him.

After packing up, she left the house.

When she was waiting for a taxi, a car parked in front of her. Isaac got out of the car.

“Isaac? Why are you here?” Clara was a bit surprised.

“Mr. Kirkland asked me to pick you up to the hospital,” Isaac replied, “Mrs. Kirkland, get in the car now.”

“Oh? Okay.” Clara was delighted by Horace’s thoughtfulness. It seemed that he was worried about her.

On the way to the hospital, Clara found that Isaac seemed a bit weird today. He seemed preoccupied.

“Isaac, are you okay? You seem weird,” Clara asked in confusion.

“What?” After taking a look at Clara through the rearview mirror, Isaac quickly looked away. “I’m fine, Ma’am. Maybe it’s because of the exhausting work these days.”

“Okay.” Clara nodded. That made sense. Horace had often worked overtime these days. “Take care of yourself. Health is much important than work.”

“I will. Thank you, Ma’am,” Isaac said nothing more after that. He seemed to be focused on driving, but the anxious look in his eyes gave him away.

When they arrived at the hospital, Clara asked him to wait for her at the gate before she walked into the hospital alone.

She was unfamiliar with the procedures since it was her first prenatal check-up, so she told the nurse that Horace made an appointment with the doctor.

Leafing through her notebook, the nurse took her into a room. “Wait here, the doctor will be here soon.”

“Okay, thank you,” Clara smiled and replied.

About ten minutes later, a middle-aged doctor with mask came in. After taking a look at her, he said, “Follow me.” And then he turned around and left.

Clara had to follow him while thinking that the doctor seemed tough to get along with. Besides, she had thought it should be a female doctor who would do the prenatal check-up for her, she was surprised to see a male doctor here. Thinking that she would have to take off her clothes in front of a stranger, she felt a bit shy.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

She followed him and found that he had taken her to an operating room. She held his hand and asked confusedly, “Doctor, I’m here for a prenatal check-up, why are we in an operating room?”

Glancing at her, the doctor asked calmly, “Is this your first prenatal check-up?”

“Yes,” Clara nodded and replied.

“This is the procedure. Just believe in me.” After saying that, the doctor called over several nurse who then changed Clara into a patient’s gown and asked her to wait on the bed.

Soon, Clara found that she was placed on an operating bed and the doctor was walking over to her with a surgery knife in his hand. She felt something off and struggled to get up. Staring at the doctor in fright, she yelled, “What are you gonna do?”

“Mr. Kirkland asked us to abort your child,” the doctor said expressionlessly. Then he ordered the nurse to hold her, trying to sedate her…
