Chapter 1562

Pandora suddenly called out to her, “Hannah, could you come up to my room?”

“Sure,” Hannah immediately got up and followed Pandora up to the third floor to Pandora’s room. “Mum, what’s up?”

Pandora stared at her. “Take off your scarf. Let me see that rash on your neck.”

Hannah felt guilty and instinctively protected her scarf. “Mum, do you like this scarf? If you do, I can get you a new one tomorrow, exactly the same.

Pandora, “Who said I want your scarf?”

Hannah, “Then what are you up to?”

Pandora, “Has Steven been looking for you?”e2

Hannah was stunned by her mother’s insight for a few seconds before she hurriedly denied, “No, no, how could that be? You know he’s been gone for months, how could he come to see me?”

Pandora, “You might be able to fool others, but you can’t fool me. I gave birth to you, I know what’s on your mind.”

Hannah had no words to say.

Pandora, “Take off the scarf.”

In front of the assertive Pandora, Hannah had no choice but to obey. Once the scarf was removed, the love bites on her neck were exposed, clearly suggesting intimacy.

Pandora gasped. “Is this what young people do nowadays?”

Hannah, “Maybe not everyone… maybe just Steven enjoys this…”

Pandora raised her hand and thwacked Hannah’s forehead. “You’ve already had a big fall because of that man, and yet you’re still messing around with him. Aren’t you afraid of falling again?”

Hannah hugged Pandora. “Mum, don’t be upset, I know what I’m doing this time.”

Pandora was heartbroken. “I’m not upset, I just don’t want you to be taken advantage of. Did you use protection last night?”

Hannah shook her head. “No, we didn’t.”

“I’ve told you, you can use him for physical needs, but you also need to protect yourself. If you get pregnant, you’re the one who’ll suffer.” Pandora sighed with frustration. “I’ll go get you some morning-after pills…”

Hannah, “Mum, I want to have a baby.”

Pandora raised her eyebrows. “What did you say?”

Hannah hurriedly said, “Mum, listen to me first, don’t get upset yet.”

Pandora wasn’t upset, she was just worried that Hannah might have made a regrettable decision due to her immaturity. “Take your time explaining.”. Hannah said, “I don’t want to get married, but I do want to have a baby and raise it myself, without the father being involved. I know I’ll become the talk of

the town…”

Pandora interrupted her, “People will say what they want to say. You can’t control that. What you need to consider is whether you can take care of a child, whether you can ensure the child’s physical and mental health, whether you can guarantee the child won’t be affected by the absence of a father, and so

on.”

Pandora was just an ordinary rural woman without much education. She’d worked hard her whole life and was once known as the butcher’s daughter. In the past, matchmakers refused to introduce her to potential suitors, saying she had a hard life and wasn’t good for childbearing.

When this woman, with little education and worldly experience, heard her daughter’s request, she didn’t consider it outrageous; she wasn’t worried about losing face in the village; she didn’t think about the reputation of her family.

On this alone, she was already better than many parents.

Hannah hugged her. “Mum, why are you so good? Why can’t you just scold me?”

Pandora ruffled her hair, “You’re a grown woman, stop acting like a child. Think carefully about what I said. If you feel ready, if you can bear the consequences of your decision, then whatever you decide, I’ll support you.”
