Chapter 836 Is This Karma?

Daphne grabbed Sonia’s hand worriedly. When Sonia saw her assistant’s pale face and bony hands, she let out a sigh before using her other hand to hold Daphne’s. “Calm down. I’m not firing you. I just figured that it’d be bad for you to continue working when you’re pregnant and when your body’s weak. That’s why I wanted you to take a break and rest a little more before coming back to work.”

“I know, but there’s no need for that.” Daphne shook her head. “I’m about to abort this child, so I’ll be able to come back to work soon. I won’t need a break.”

“What?” Sonia’s expression changed immediately. “Are you really going to abort your child?” When Daphne heard the way Sonia phrased her sentence, she wasn’t surprised by the fact that Sonia had expected her to abort the child. After all, if Tim told Sonia about Daphne’s pregnancy, it was likely that he also told Sonia about Daphne’s enquires about abortion.

“Yeah. I want to abort the child!” Daphne nodded with a bitter and disappointed look on her face. “This child shouldn’t have existed, after all. The child’s father doesn’t know about my pregnancy, so I should abort it as soon as possible so that everything will go back to normal. I can just pretend that nothing happened between the child’s father and me.”

I was worried that he might do something rash, but I couldn’t chase after him since I had just rejected his confession. Wouldn’t I be confusing him if I chased after him and showed him my care? That’s why I told Daphne to help me watch over him to make sure he didn’t do anything stupid. I figured that Daphne is his ex-secretary, and they were classmates, after all. I thought it’d be good for her to check on him. But she didn’t return after checking on him, and she was walking in a rather odd manner when she came back the
