Chapter 396 Cinder's Visit

That day, after Aaron came back from the hallway, he remained silent for a long time. He didn't push me to make a choice as he had the previous few days, but I knew that sometimes silence was a kind of urge

He seemed to have said everything he could to persuade me, including the words he had spoken to Vega in the hallway. For everything he said, he was telling me to give up the baby who might put me in danger

However, my answer was still no

I reached out and grabbed Aaron's arm as he pretended to pass by my bed for the umpteenth time

"Aaron, Maria said that if I really don't want to give up the baby, I can take some meds. Some calcium supplements can counteract the side effects of the acidic solvent on my body. After two weeks, there's a good chance we can keep the baby."

What I was suggesting was self-evident, but Aaron frowned deeply again

I knew that in his eyes, everything Maria said right now was just her attempt to comfort us

I made it clear that I wouldn't be having an abortion anytime soon. In such a case, Maria could not continue to insist and force me. It wasn't surprising that she offered us another treatment plan

However, Aaron was adamant that having surgery now would do me the least harm. He

was, of course, contemptuous, when hearing any other treatment option

We were about to argue about it again when my bestie Cinder burst in while crying, interrupting Aaron, who had been preparing to persuade me

She seemed exhausted. I could easily tell that she had got on a plane from New York to Berlin as soon as she finished work. She didn't even have time to change out of her business clothes, which, coupled with those dark circles under her eyes from jet lag, made her look haggard

She directly ran to my bedside and hugged me without putting down her purse

"Why didn't you tell me such a terrible thing? Olive, you know I worry about everything about you. I'm so afraid of losing you! I'm so glad that you're fine. If anything happens to you, I'm

gonna kill Vega! I swear!"

The authorities hadn't reported the results of the investigation, and there was no proof against Vega, so I could tell from Cinder's words that she must have learned about this incident from the gossip that was all over the Internet

Cinder had been drawing plans for a building for nearly half a month, and she had barely left her house. I didn't want to disturb her or let her worry about me, so I did nothing and let her piece together the truth from the gossip

However, I overlooked one thing. People might lose their cool a lot more easily when they were angry and had their hearts in their mouths

Therefore, Cinder, who had always been stable and calm, no longer cared about her image in front of her bestie and her bestie's husband right now. She almost burst into tears

"As you can see, Cinder, I'm fine, which 1s why I didn't tell you about this. It's my fault. But you've got to know that I just didn't want you to

worry."

I patted her on the back and explained softly, and my eyes turned red because of her tears. Ifa stranger came in now, they would be horrified by the sight of the patient frantically comforting her visitor

As a bystander, Aaron was silent for a long time. Finally, after my words, he cleared his throat and got his voice back

"T think you should explain everything to Cinder. You're not fine. You're making a ridiculous decision."

It sounded like he wasn't in a good mood

Cinder looked up from my shoulder and said in

a dull voice, "What?" Then she glanced at him and then me

Aaron didn't utter a word again. It was I who finally explained the whole story to Cinder

Cinder's face became serious as she listened to my words. Just as Aaron thought that he had finally found an ally, stood up excitedly, and asked her if she agreed that my choice would hurt myself, she raised her hand to stop him

"Let me talk to Olive, Aaron. I understand how you feel, but I can also relate to her."

Cinder was my bestie for years for a reason

I felt the urge to cry and turned my face away

Aaron let out a barely audible sigh, turned around, closed the ward door, and left. Finally, I lifted my head, rubbed my eyes that were about

to shed tears, and looked at Cinder again, while pretending to be strong

She forced an ugly smile, and it seemed that she was pondering. After several seconds, she avoided my eyes and looked out of the window

"Olive, I know what you're thinking. But have you ever considered that it's not that you can't give up the baby? Instead, it's that you can't give up the chance to raise yourself again

"You want to make it up to the baby with all the love you never got from your mother,

including... the sacrifice you're insisting on making right now."
