Natalie shook her head. “I couldn’t bear to abort the child, so I didn’t consent. But considering the condition of the child, there’s obviously no other choice.”

“That’s true.” Sally nodded, biting her lip.

At that, Natalie closed her eyes for a moment. “What should I do now, Sal? I don’t even know how I should tell Shane about this. Will he blame me when he learns about our child’s condition?”

Ultimately, the baby was deformed in her womb, so she was at fault in the matter.

Right then, she was truly afraid that Shane would look at her with condemnation in his eyes.

Patting her arm, Sally assured, “I don’t think he’ll be angry. He loves you very much, so he’ll only feel distressed on your behalf upon learning about the child’s condition.”

“Really?” Natalie looked up at her.

Natalie smiled bitterly. “Never mind, I deserve it even if he blames me. At the end of the day, I’m indeed the one who caused our child to end up in such a condition. But I just don’t understand why this problem suddenly came up when the baby was perfectly fine before this.”

Upon hearing that, Sally blinked. “Could it be that the hospital made a mistake?”

 

“I don’t think so, since both the hospital yesterday and the one earlier said that the baby is deformed. It can’t be a mistake.” Natalie shook her head.
