Kalimutan ang tungkol sa pakikipag-ugnayan.
Nakahanda na si Zoe sa araw na hihiwalayan siya ni Elliot at papaalisin siya sa Foster house.
Hindi man niya maibigay sa kanya ang kanyang pagmamahal, bibigyan pa rin niya ito ng mabigat na
gantimpala.
Hindi ito magiging kabuuang kawalan para sa kanya hangga’t nakuha niya ang perang iyon.
Nang huminto ang itim na Rolls-Roice sa harap ng pasukan, bumulalas si Rosalie kay Zoe,” ang likod
ni Elliot! Ipapapaliwanag ko agad sa kanya!”
Si Zoe ay nanatiling nakaupo sa sopa at hindi bumangon.
Tuluyan nang nadurog ang puso niya!
Paano masasabi sa kanya ni Elliot na in love pa rin siya kay Avery Tate noong araw ng kanilang
engagement?
Hindi lang niya minahal si Zoe, hindi rin niya ito nirerespeto.
Ang lahat ng ito ay batay pa rin sa paniwala na siya ang doktor ni Shea at dalawang beses na siyang
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtinoperahan.
Kung wala man iyon, maaaring hindi na siya matingnan ni Elliot.
Bumaba si Elliot sa kotse at naglakad papunta sa sala.
“Ina,” bati niya nang makita si Rosalie.
“Are you okay, Elliot?” Rosalie asked as he held her son’s arm and looked him up and down.
“I’m fine,” Elliot responded as he walked into the house with his mother.
Then, his gaze landed on Zoe’s cold face.
“I’ll let you talk alone!” Rosalie said. “Remember, Elliot, we Zoe no matter what. You need to give her
an explanation.”
Elliot nodded.
Soon after, he was left alone in the living room with Zoe.
“I’m sorry, Zoe,” he said as he stood by the coffee table and informed her of his decision. “I can’t force
myself to be with you.”
“I see,” Zoe responded blandly.
“I’ll pay you for treating Shea’s illness. If you don’t accept…”
Elliot was resolute.
He did not have to finish his sentence for Zoe to understand his meaning.
“I accept. I’ll take however much you give me,” Zoe said with a smile. “It’s all my fault. I was in over my
head and barking up the wrong tree. I’m not good enough for you. I’ll just take the money and go.”
“Don’t put yourself down, Zoe. You will meet someone who will treasure you. Unfortunately, I can’t be
that man.”
“I know,” Zoe said, then gulped and stood up. “I’ll move out right away.”
“It’s alright.” Elliot felt a pang of pity when he saw her protruding belly. “Since you’re carrying my child,
you should stay here for now. We’ll decide on what to do after the baby is
born.”
Zoe glanced down at her baby bump, then smiled sarcastically and said, “Thank you.”
Then, she turned and hurried to her room.
Rosalie walked back into the living room with a face filled with disappointment.
“How could you be so cruel to Zoe, Elliot? What happened to make you suddenly change your mind?”
Elliot helped his mother to the couch, then said, “I’ll find a better doctor to help Shea. You don ‘t have to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmworry about anything else.”
“Have you found someone even better than Zoe?”
Elliot nodded and said, “I will.”
“Okay… Thank you for taking care of Shea all these years, Elliot! Since you have no feelings for Zoe, I
won’t force you. However, the doctors said that the child she’s carrying is very healthy. We should keep
it,” Rosalie said.
A wave of gloom washed over Elliot’s face.
If it were not out of consideration for Zoe’s weak body being unsuitable to get an abortion, he would
never had agreed to keep the baby.
Other than that crucial point, he also did not love Zoe, and would not be able to bring himself to love
their child.
Ang pagsilang ng batang ito ay magiging isang garantisadong trahedya.
Biglang tumunog ang telepono ni Elliot at nabalik siya sa realidad.
Kinuha niya ang phone niya at sinagot ang tawag.
“Nakahanap kami ng impormasyon tungkol kay Eric Santos, sir!” sabi ng nasa kabilang linya.
Isang kislap ang kumislap sa mga mata ni Elliot. Bumangon siya at nagmamadaling lumabas ng pinto.
