After speaking, Vivian Lynn didn’t even look back and left directly.
Stephen Stone intended to chase after her.
But at this moment, Eleanor Gage stopped him.
"Stephen, don’t mind her. I don’t believe she can really leave you."
In Eleanor’s view, for their family’s youngest son, who’d returned from abroad, to be with Vivian Lynn,
it was already Vivian Lynn reaching beyond her station.
Yet Vivian Lynn dared to show them a bad attitude.
Stephen hesitated slightly.
Because he seemed to have seen a trace of determination in Vivian Lynn’s eyes earlier.
"No buts. She’s still carrying your child; she can’t leave you."
Eleanor continued, "It’s the perfect opportunity to give her some time, see if she still dares to have an attitude in the future."
These words struck a chord with Stephen.
After all, he was also angry because Vivian Lynn dared to show his mother attitude.
As for the previous bit of bad premonition, it disappeared with his mother’s persuasion.
Stephen even decided to follow his mother’s advice and not contact Vivian Lynn either by phone or message for some time.
People only understand the value of certain things in this world after painful lessons.
A woman like Vivian Lynn, who is past her prime, should be grateful that he was willing to have her.
Yet she dared to use such a low trick to test him — utterly unreasonable.
He had to take this opportunity to make Vivian Lynn understand that he had always been in control of their relationship. For her to maintain the title of Mrs. Stone, she must curry favor with his entire family.
However, what the mother and son didn’t expect was, after stepping out of the intensive care unit, Vivian Lynn followed July Quinn’s suggestion and went to the director’s office to find July.
At this moment, Vivian Lynn was too heartbroken to care about why July Quinn could casually use the director’s office at Rosewell Hospital.
"July, it turns out what you said was true. He really is after my assets."
As soon as she entered the director’s office, Vivian Lynn burst into tears.
"We’ve been together so long; even a dog develops feelings, but he decided to stop my treatment for me..."
July Quinn rushed forward, giving Vivian Lynn a hug.
"You should be thankful that you saw his true colors before marriage. Otherwise, you’d suffer even more after getting married."
"Yeah, lucky I saw it before getting married. Otherwise, if something happened after marriage, he would surely abandon me."
Though she said this, Vivian Lynn couldn’t stop crying.
"July, why do I always find boyfriends in the garbage heap?"
Her previous childhood friend hooked up with Holly Houston for money and power.
Now, her current boyfriend is ready to kill her for her assets when she’s sick.
"Men come and go; that’s life. It’s okay; this is a test from above before it sends you true love."
But clearly, Vivian Lynn wasn’t in the mood to listen to these comforting words now.
"Forget it. I don’t want romance anymore. Career advancement is far sweeter than dealing with men."
In her battles with love, she’d been bruised and battered repeatedly, losing her initial dreams.
Vivian Lynn’s choice was precisely what July Quinn hoped for.
Though a bit cruel, it was currently the most suitable path for Vivian Lynn.
"And the child? Are you planning to keep it?"
July Quinn asked again.
"I want to terminate the pregnancy. Though I looked forward to its arrival, so long as the child exists, I can’t sever ties with those horrible people."
Thinking about having to face those scoundrels in the future, Vivian Lynn felt like she would mentally collapse.
She’s not a Saint, so she wouldn’t want a child that would trap her in a lifetime of misery.
To avoid faltering and prevent the child from feeling more upon departure, she asked July Quinn, "July, you have good connections. Can you arrange for them to perform the surgery tonight?"
July Quinn didn’t hesitate, "Sure."
Since she was the hospital director, she could arrange things as she wished.
But July still asked, "But Mr. Lynn, won’t you regret it?" Read complete version only at novel⦿fire.net
Although she hadn’t been pregnant, she knew women consider their babies heavily after pregnancy.
Even though she deemed Vivian Lynn’s decision correct, she didn’t want Vivian Lynn to live a life full of regret and self-blame.
Yet Vivian Lynn’s reply was, "No. Rather than let a child face such selfish and shameless family, it’s better to not bring him into this world."
"Alright, I’ll arrange it."
Meeting Vivian Lynn’s determined gaze, July Quinn called the obstetrics department to arrange the surgery...
