"I know that I've done you wrong!" Wilson growled hoarsely. "Clara, I know I've made a lot of mistakes in the past, and I understand that I can never fully atone for them. But believe me when I say that I'll definitely treat you well from now on and do everything in my power to make you happy."Clara responded with a faint smile, tinged with a hint of detachment. The man who was once so important to her had now become insignificant."Yanny and I managed to survive and make it to where we are today without your help," she stated calmly, "So why would I need you to take care of us now?"Her words were like a douse of cold water, making him turn cold all over."Wilson, can't we just pretend you never found out about my pregnancy?" Clara asked. "Between us, we've already made enough mistakes. If we keep getting tangled up, we'll only cause each other more misery."Wilson stared at her wordlessly. Although she was right there in front of him, he felt like they were moving further and f

But when she spoke those words, tears fell down from her eyes, and her heart sank into a bottomless abyss.The following day, Clara arrived at the hospital and openly expressed her intention to undergo a medical abortion."Have you discussed this with your partner? Considering your age, it may be difficult to conceive again after an abortion," the doctor advised. He could still remember her partner who asked him a lot of questions about morning sickness."He's not my partner. Regardless, the decision to have this baby or not is mine to make. Don't women have the right to reproductive choices?" Clara responded firmly.Noting Clara's determination, the doctor proceeded to write a prescription.Clara walked to the hospital pharmacy with heavy steps and patiently waited in line.After the consumption of these pills, she would bid farewell to the life growing inside her.Although she had contemplated keeping the baby, she ultimately didn't dare to. She feared how her relationship wit

Serenity, with a concerned tone, immediately asked, "Wilson Birch? What's going on? Where's Clara? What have you done to her?""Serenity, I... I'm fine," Clara quickly assured her."Clara, he didn't hurt you, did he?" Serenity asked anxiously."He..." Clara hesitated a little, "He probably won't hurt me. My mom's watching over the convenience store right now, but I'll head back soon. If you go there, please don't tell my mom that I'm with Wilson."The latter part of Clara's statement made Wilson's expression darken."Okay, you heard everything," Wilson addressed Serenity. "Serenity Lewis, don't poke your nose where it doesn't belong. If you do, even if you're Mrs. Valor now, I'm not gonna hold back."After hanging up, Wilson turned to Clara and said, "Looks like your friend genuinely cares about you."Clara bit her lip and, after a moment, she asked, "Wilson, what exactly do you want?"He stared at her with a heavy gaze but remained silent.Meanwhile, Serenity was still starin

She then anxiously asked, "Has Connor found where Clara is?" Her worried tone and expression revealed her deep concern for Clara.Jackson replied helplessly, "Any moment now."True to his words, Connor entered the office a while later to provide an update on Clara's location.Serenity finally learned that Wilson had taken Clara away from the hospital, and that... Clara was at the hospital for a medical abortion."Clara wanted to terminate the pregnancy?" Serenity was shocked."It appears so," Connor answered."Where's Clara now?" Serenity urgently asked."Wilson Birch took Ms. Wells to his mansion in Solaria," Connor replied.Serenity turned to Jackson, and he understood her thoughts without her saying a word."Let's go get Clara back. You won't be able to relax if we don't, right?" Jackson suggested."You're the best, Jack," Serenity said.Jackson's eyes lit up because of a simple praise like that. Clearly, he enjoyed her flattery.On the other hand, Connor was used to it

With pursed lips, Wilson's eyes bore into hers with intensity. They locked eyes for a long time.Finally, he broke the silence, saying, "As long as Peter Wall doesn't do anything to provoke me, I won't touch him."This always happened. Every time they were in a stalemate, he would always be the one to back down first, and then... end up losing miserably.Clara let out a sigh of relief. At least Wilson wouldn't touch Peter."Alright, now that I've promised I won't go after Peter Wall, can you please give birth to the baby?" Wilson's voice resonated in the room.Clara's expression froze, and she bit her lip. "If you want a child, you can have as many as you want with other women. There's no need to cling to this one."Wilson forced a bitter smile.Yes, he could father as many children as he wanted, but none of them would be their child!He only wanted children that belonged to both of them!"So, you still refuse to keep the baby?" he questioned, staring at her.She took a dee
