After Tiffany read the message, she raised her head to look at Nicole.
The latter nodded at her and whispered, âIf you want to keep the baby, youâll have to leave this place first.â
Curious, Sheila peeked at the words on the phone too. This is a good trick Nicole pulled on Levant.
She hurriedly added, âTiffany, donât be stubborn and grab the opportunity. It wonât do you any good to stay here.â
Lowering her head, Tiffany glimpsed at her stomach. She had no other plans. Violently rebelling against Levant was not a plan, and the man had already stated last night that he would force her to go for an abortion. She was afraid that she might not be able to keep the baby for long.
Closing her eyes, she ruminated before answering, âAll right. Iâll do what you say.â
After a while, the two of them exited the room to tell Levant that Tiffany had agreed to the abortion and agreed to head to the hospital with them now.
Their words surprised the man. He knew how stubborn Tiffany was, so he could barely believe that she had agreed to it so readily.
âLevant, weâll head to the hospital with her right now. She might regret her decision and change her mind after a while. Iâm afraid she wonât be convinced this easily the next time.â
After a while of thinking, Levant responded uneasily, âIâll go with you.â
Hearing his response, both Nicole and Sheila tensed up. That had been their excuse to bring Tiffany away from Levant Winery, but they had forgotten that Levant was a wary man.
Before leaving the place, Nicole went to the bathroom to call Evan for help.
âEvan, this is a matter of life and death. Call the hospital now. Tell them to secretly keep Tiffanyâs baby alive.â
Evan had initially not cared about Levantâs matter. When he heard that a woman was pregnant with Levantâs child and that he seemed to have no intentions of keeping it, a thought entered Evanâs mind. If we keep this baby and bring it to Levant after itâs bornâ¦
Levantâs expression will be the most interesting image Iâll see for a while.
Moreover, with the baby alive and in need of a father, Levant would be distracted. Heâll stop thinking about Nicole.
âDonât worry. Iâll make the necessary arrangements for it. Head home soon and stop worrying about things like these.â
Hearing his agreement, Nicole finally felt reassured. She had been worried that Evan would refuse to help her with anything that involved Levant.
âOkay. Iâll head home immediately after I accompany Tiffany to the hospital.â
Walking out of the bathroom, Nicole shot a wink at Sheila. They all then went to the hospital with Tiffany and Levant.
Forty minutes later, the once pregnant woman came out of the surgery room with a pale face. She glared at Levant and declared, âFrom now on, we donât know each other.â
On that note, she left the hospital without a hint of hesitation.
Looking at her retreating figure, a trace of remorse grew in Levantâs heart. He took out a card and handed it to Sheila. â Give this to her on my behalf.â
âYou⦠What are you hoping to achieve by giving her money? Why didnât you give this to her yourself earlier?â
Levant did not give her a response, leaving after a moment of silence.
Sheila looked at Nicole and the card in her hand. âTiffany can use this money to raise the kid.â
âLetâs ask her what she thinks about it first.â
âOkay.â
Tiffany had just reached home when Sheila and Nicole caught up to her. When the woman saw the gold card Levant had given her, she immediately told Sheila to return it to Levant. She did not want any money from him.
âAre you an idiot? Heâs given you the money, so you should just take it and think of it as his contribution to child support,â Sheila huffed.
âHe didnât even want the baby. I donât need his money for child support,â Tiffany croaked. Tears were brimming in her eyes, and it was obvious that she was trying to stop them from escaping her eyes.
âTiffany, whereâs your other kid?â Nicole inquired.
Upon hearing the mention of her other child, Tiffanyâs tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Sheila answered on her behalf, âTiffanyâs ex-husband took her first kid away, saying that the kidâs grandparents brought the kid to the countryside. We tried looking for the kid, but the kid was nowhere to be found.â
