When Lucas Morgan looked up and saw Chloe Grant standing in the corridor, his gaze contained an emotion he had never shown before.
In fact, Chloe, standing on the second floor, couldn’t really hear the conversation downstairs.
Unless it was as loud as Lily Grant’s shout just now, she could only vaguely make out the general idea.
The kind where you hear the sound but can’t clearly understand what is being said.
And at this moment, Lily was too stunned to react...
"But... this child is yours, I..."
Without even thinking, Lucas responded directly, cruel and heartless.
Lily trembled, looking at Lucas in disbelief, "What... how can you say such heartless words?"
"Why have you become ?" Lily shook her head, tears beginning to fall again.
Lucas laughed, "I’ve always been ."
He approached Lily, "After what you’ve done, do you think I can still accept it? This child would be born into an unhappy family, it’s better to end it now."
Brutal, yet straightforward.
"No... you can’t do this." Lily shook her head, clutching her stomach and stepping back, "How can you do this..."
She retreated to the door.
Lucas stood up straight, with no trace of tenderness on his face, resolute, truly like a cold-blooded animal.
Where was the stance he had when defending Lily before?
"I’ll arrange the time for the surgery. Rest assured, I’ll take care of everything, including the aftercare for your health. Besides, I will buy you a house and give you an allowance each year as a breakup compensation."
"That’s not what I want!" Lily suddenly screamed.
She pointed at Lucas, shedding her previously soft demeanor, "Lucas Morgan, you can’t treat me so cruelly! You can’t be so inhumane! I will never let you terminate this child, this is my child. I will use this child to entangle you until death!
Lucas, don’t think you can dump me and then be with Chloe Grant, I’m telling you, it’s not possible!"
She screamed like a lunatic, "Not possible! Not possible!"
After shouting, Lily turned around and ran out, clutching her stomach.
At this time, Chloe had already come down from upstairs.
"You want to terminate the child?" Chloe was somewhat shocked and found it hard to accept.
"What else?" Lucas chuckled a bit, looking at Chloe with much depth and a touch of guilt.
"Previously she did so many things to hurt you, and I kept favoring her, you must have endured a lot of grievances, right?" Lucas’s eyes were filled with heartache, and he couldn’t help but reach out to touch Chloe’s face...
Yet Chloe almost dodged the moment his hand reached her face. Chapters first released on novel·fire.net
Lucas was somewhat surprised.
"Static shock." Chloe, in a moment of panic, came up with a clumsy excuse, her eyes anxiously darted around, quickly changing the subject, "You just said, the child really needs to be terminated?"
"Yes." Lucas withdrew his hand, nodded seriously, "There never was pure love between her and me. She used her understanding of me to get close and bewitch me, and while with me, got entangled with Ethan Woods, this relationship can’t be dragged on any longer.
Terminating a three-month-old fetus seems cruel, but it prevents a tragic existence for the child."
