Chapter 400 Face It Together

Kristy was a bit flushed. After I finished speaking, she was silent for a long time

I didn't know if her silence was out of embarrassment or guilt. Anyway, I didn't really care

I was just waiting for an answer from her. I wanted her to take a stand, telling me that she would stop showing up every now and then and meddling in my affairs

I didn't need anything from her, even if it was advice

In the years when I most longed for my parents' help and advice, she was never really a part of my daily life. Then what was the need for her to

pretend to care at this point?

It was a good thing that Kristy was a smart woman after all, and she had a sense that there ought to be some boundaries between us. After I repeatedly indicated either intentionally or

unintentionally that I didn't want her to be here, she finally nodded

"Olive, since you've already decided what you want to choose, I don't think I need to say anything anymore. It's ust that Aaron is worried about your health a lot. I think ... maybe you should pay attention to those around you who love you while you make peace with the past, or you may seem selfish in a way."

It sounded a bit absurd when coming from her

A woman who had never paid attention to those around her started telling me not to be selfish?

I did not respond to her words. Instead, I simply could not help but glance at her contemptuously. Then I moved away from the railing I was leaning against and went for the rooftop door before I saw that hurt look on her face

"Olive, I hope ... you can be the kind of mother you want to be."

It was the last thing Kristy said to me that day. I turned my back so that she wouldn't see my tears. She might as well have wished me to become the kind of mother I wanted to have

When I returned to the ward in the afternoon, Cinder, who had traveled more than 2,000 kilometers, had been arranged to rest in the nearest hotel

Aaron was the only one left in the ward. He

seemed to have been waiting for me for a long time. The moment I walked in, he rose from the couch abruptly, his eyes mixed with obscure emotions. It seemed that he was waiting for me to say something first

Of course, I knew what he wanted to hear. A feeling of irritation overwhelmed me, and I said the answer that he didn't like as if to get back at him

"TI still keep the baby. Aaron, no matter how many people you invite to talk me out of it, it won't change my mind."

To my surprise, Aaron wasn't upset about it at all. After I said those words, I could even see that he was clearly relieved

"In fact, I was worried that you might waver

After all, I just convinced myself to respect your

opinion and face this together with you."

Aaron was probably a little embarrassed when he saw the surprised look on my face. He stood in situ with his head bowed for a few seconds before he came to take my hand

"I was wrong, Olive. I'm not gonna force you to make any more decisions you don't like. I'm worried about your health, so I should be doing everything I can to keep you healthy instead of forcing you to give up what glimmer of hope we have left."

I knew Cinder must have said something to him

Well, the truth was, Aaron was never a person who listened to others. His change this time made me feel gratified and also very moved

After a short silence, we finally faced each other's feelings unreservedly. For the first time

after the accident, we put away our own edges and hugged each other tightly

Maria happened to open the ward door and walk into such a scene

She was a funny old lady. The moment she locked eyes with me, she covered her mouth and pretended to be surprised. "Who leaked information from the doctor's office? Are you celebrating already, my dear?"

I shyly withdrew from Aaron's arms and exchanged glances with him quietly. Seeing that he was puzzled as well, I cleared my throat and found my voice back. "I'm sorry, Maria. I don't know what you're talking about."

"Here's your latest medical report." Maria shook a stack of papers in her hand and turned serious

"It turns out that we are lucky after all. Things

are getting further and further away from my worst guesses. Your physical indicators are all trending to normal, and the effects of the solvent in your body are slowly fading."

Every word she said filled me with joy

Although my physical indicators were only "trending" to normal, it had already given me enough confidence to face the future of my baby's test report

"According to the current reasonable inference, you will probably just need to take some calcium to help your baby out of the influence

Olive, you can rest for a while. Let's hope for a surprise from the baby in two weeks."

Maria's tone grew lighter, and I held Aaron's hand tightly as he stood beside me

He and I had just agreed to deal with this

together. And now, we probably passed the first hurdle
