Rachel Barton was indeed different from them.
Rachel was an incoming college student.
A street prostitute in the red-light district.
Thinking about her past, Delia Frieman almost couldn’t breathe.
But what she had been through wasn’t her choice either!
Who wouldn’t want to live an upright life?
As she spoke, Rachel turned to Viola Thompson, “Viola, don’t you know medicine? Can you prescribe some medicine for me, so I can get rid of this unwanted child? I can’t go to a hospital! I can’t!”
She had someone she liked.
Her life was still long, and she couldn’t let anyone know about her past.
Viola sighed lightly, “Rachel, your physical condition isn’t very good. If you try to abort the child with medicine, it’s very likely that something unexpected may happen. You must go to a Class A Hospital to ensure safety.”
Rachel’s upbringing wasn’t very good, which had caused her poor health.
An abortion is not a minor surgery.
Most importantly, Viola was not a professional gynecologist.
She had treated many people.
But, she had never performed an abortion for anyone.
If she rashly gave Rachel an abortion drug, she couldn’t guarantee it would be foolproof.
As a friend, she had to ensure Rachel’s health.
At this point, Viola paused and continued, “If I could help you with a medical abortion, I would do it without you even asking.”
“It’s alright, Viola. I’m willing to take all the risks. Can you please help me?” Rachel looked at Viola, her eyes full of pleading.
Her future life was still long.
She still had someone she liked pursuing her.
Her life couldn’t have any stains on it.
Viola frowned slightly, “Then let me list the possible dangers for you. A medical abortion might not be completely successful, leading to complications such as inflammation and lifelong infertility! There’s also the risk of hemorrhage and other dangers. These are foreseeable risks, but there are many more unseen dangers! Rachel, you’re my friend, and I need to be responsible for you!”
Rachel looked stunned, her face pale.
She didn’t understand why fate was treating her this way.
Dolores Frieman spoke from the side, “Fifth Sister, listen to Miss Thompson and go to the hospital. If something unexpected happens, it’ll be too late to regret it!”
Rachel’s face was covered in tear stains.
Viola continued, “Rachel, you must have faith in the hospital.”
Rachel embraced Viola, sobbing loudly.
Viola sighed softly, unsure how to comfort Rachel.
Dolores looked at Viola, “Miss Thompson, what do you think about finding a private hospital?”
Viola said, “Considering Rachel’s physical condition, if we choose a private hospital, it has to be equipped for surgery and relatively reputable. Otherwise, the risk will be extremely high. I suggest you go to a Class A Hospital, which has complete facilities and can deal with any issues that arise.”
Dolores frowned slightly.
Hearing this, Rachel’s despair deepened.
At this point, Viola continued, “Rachel, try to relax a bit. Actually, this matter isn’t as serious as you think. Sis and Second Sis have a point. Times have changed; there are many couples living together before marriage, and unwanted pregnancies and abortions are even more common. It’s not something shameful. As long as you stop the losses in time and don’t leave any regrets in life, it’s all good. If anything goes wrong with a medical abortion I help with, it would be a lifelong big issue.”
Dolores nodded and encouraged Rachel along.
Rachel wasn’t that stubborn; a moment later, she nodded. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
Dolores was relieved.
As long as one had a change of heart, that was good. The hardest part is when people can’t get past themselves.
Delia also breathed a sigh of relief.
Viola continued, “Then I’ll accompany you to the hospital tomorrow.”
Dolores looked at Viola, “Miss Thompson, you don’t have to trouble yourself. I happen to have a day off tomorrow, so I’ll take her.”
“It’s fine, I don’t have anything to do tomorrow anyway.”
With her there, Rachel would be more at ease.
Rachel looked at Viola, “Viola, please don’t tell Diana Hershey and Fiona about this.”
Every person who knew about this kind of thing added to the shame.
Viola could understand her feelings and nodded, “Okay.”
Everyone had their own right to privacy, and she chose to respect Rachel’s.
It was supposed to be a happy dinner, but who would have thought such a thing would happen in the end.
Rachel, accompanied by Dolores and Viola, went to the hospital for an abortion.
They chose a painless procedure.
As Rachel lay on the cold operating table, tears unconsciously flowed from her eyes.
