Seeing Mr. Albert disappear behind the door, Alan could not suppress his anger. His eyes were red
from anger. Blue veins stood out on his temples.
The next moment, he got up and swept down the papers on the desk.
"Mr. Alan..." The assistant saw this as soon as he came in and silently closed the door again.
Alan fell back into the reclining chair, reaching out to rub his aching forehead.
His phone rang. Alan waited for the phone to ring three times before picking it up.
He answered the phone, "Freya, what is wrong?"
He had instructed Freya to call him first if there was anything about Nora or the house.
"Mr. Alan, Ms. Nora... Ms. Nora..." Freya was incoherent and very flustered.
"Freya, calm down. Speak slowly. What happened to Nora?" Alan was serious after hearing about
Nora.
Freya took two deep breaths before saying, "Ms. Nora went to the hospital. She seems to be aborting
the baby...."
As soon as she finished speaking, Freya could no longer hold back her tears.
"How do you know?" Alan suddenly stood up, his face grim, "Did she tell you?"
"No, I found out myself." Freya told the story.
After Nora and Rose left, Freya started cleaning the house. She went to Nora's bedroom to see if there
were any clothes that needed be sent to the laundry.
Freya found the abortion prep booklet that was pressed under the pillow with a corner exposed.
She looked at the word "abortion" written on it, and froze.
She thought Nora and Alan might have quarreled with each other. So, their relationship suddenly
became very bad during this period of time. But she didn't expect that things had gotten so bad.
Nora was ready to abort the baby!
It was okay if she didn't know about it. But now that she knew, she must tell Alan. Otherwise, she
couldn't afford to take the blame.
It took Freya a long time to come to her senses. Then, she called Alan in a panic.
"Mr. Alan, whatever happened between you and Ms. Nora, the child is innocent. You've been married
for more than five years. It was hard for Ms. Nora to have this child. Please don't let her abort it. This is
your first child. Won't you feel distressed for Ms. Nora and the child?
Mr. Alan, I know that Ms. Nora is a bit spoiled. But she is very good. If she really did something to make
you angry, I apologize to you on her behalf, okay? Don't let Ms. Nora abort the baby. It hurts her health.
Some people will never conceive again after aborting the baby."
Freya was chattering on the other end of the phone and crying all the time.
"Mr. Alan, I know you love Ms. Nora and care about her. You have a good temper and are nice. I know
all these things. Whenever Mr. and Mrs. Cooper ask me about you, I always tell them that you really
spoil Ms. Nora.
Mr. Alan, if you still love Ms. Nora, then please be nice to her. She is actually pitiful too. Now that she
has a child and a home with you, please tolerate her more. I believe that one day, Ms. Nora will
understand that you are the best person for her."
Alan listened to those words of Freya and was touched.
He did like Nora and was not willing to be given up by her. But Nora insisted on divorce. He did not
know how to face her.
The matter of the child did make him hesitate and suffer. He wanted to escape.
He didn't go back during this time, because he wanted to give each other a space to calm down and
think about the matter.
He wanted to see if he could live without Nora. If not, then he would accept the child.
He didn't expect Nora to decide not to have the child.
The child was innocent. He didn't want to be the bad guy.
The corners of Alan's eyes were red, "Freya, don't worry. I will let her keep the baby."
"Mr. Alan, thank you. I know you're good." Freya smiled with tears and felt relieved.
"Tell me where the hospital is." Alan said as he rushed outside.
He pulled open the door without noticing that his assistant was standing at the door. When the
assistant saw Alan leaving, he followed, "Mr. Alan, your father is looking for you."
"Tell him I'm not available right now." Alan pressed the elevator button with annoyance.
"I guess that's not a good idea." The corners of the assistant's mouth twitched.
"I have more important things to do right now!" Alan saw the elevator coming and walked into it, "I'll
come to see him when I get back. All the consequences are on me."
The doors of the elevator closed. Alan looked at the constantly changing numbers, feeling that time
was passing too slowly. He looked at his phone from time to time.
When he got to the underground parking lot, he hurriedly got into the car. The car sped out like an
arrow off the string.
Along the way, Alan drove fast and ran a few red lights. Half an hour later, he arrived at the hospital
Freya had mentioned.
He parked the car and ran towards the operating room.
On the way he was also on the phone asking about Nora's condition. Soon, he found the operating
room.
Rose looked at the man who came in stride and panted. He was already sweating profusely.
"What are you... doing here?" Rose was surprised that Alan was here.
"Where is Nora?" Alan breathed heavily, his eyes sharp.
"She..." Rose pursed her lips for a moment, "she doesn't want to see you."
"She's in there for the abortion, right?" Alan pointed to the door of the operating room and guessed.
He immediately came forward. But Rose blocked the door of the operating room and stood in front of
him, "Alan, calm down!"
"Aren't you and her best friends? How can you stand to see her go through such a harmful operation?
Rose, you're a mother too!" Alan scolded Rose anxiously.
"Alan, you should know that the baby was an accident. So, it is the best choice for Nora to do this."
Rose didn't feel aggrieved by Alan's scolding. She was more concerned about the overall situation,
though she was also distressed.
"Fuck the best choice!" Alan was furious. He reached out and pushed Rose away, then broke into the
room.
Nora lay on the surgical bed, seeing a blurred figures before she lost consciousness.
The doctors changed their faces one by one, "This is an operating room. Why are you barging in here!"
"I'm Nora's husband. She didn't ask for my permission to abort the baby." Alan glanced sharply at the
people who were about to operate on Nora, "Whoever dares to touch this child, I will never let him go!"
Alan strode towards the operating bed. The doctors were too scared to make a sound. As Alan
approached, they were backing up.
Alan took a look at the sleeping Nora. She was wearing a blue and white striped hospital uniform, her
face as pale as paper.
They had not seen each other these days. She seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
