Disgust churned in my stomach again. "Sean, you're utterly filthy."
A man like him didn't deserve my child.
Lying on the hospital bed, I gently touched my belly as tears streamed down my face. "Baby, please don't blame Mommy."
The doctor handed me the consent form for the procedure. My hands trembled as I signed, each stroke of the pen feeling like it drained all the strength from my body.
Two hours later, the procedure was over. By the time I opened the ward's door, there would be no sign of Sean left in my womb. I cried quietly as my heart ached while lying numb from the anesthesia on the hospital bed.
Sean got the news from somewhere, rushed into the ward like crazy and hugged me. "Nicki! Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant? Why did you have an abortion without telling me? It was our child!"
I struggled free from his embrace. "Sean, you have no right to talk about the baby. Do you even realize what you've done?"
Panic flashed across Sean's face for the first time. "Nicki, are you listening to rumors? I've never done anything to hurt you!"
Even now, he was still lying. I pulled out my phone and showed him the provocative message Yelena had sent me.
