Love Is a Sweet Addiction

After thinking for a while, Esther raised her head and looked at Terence. Then Esther said seriously, “Terence, I want to give a chance to the child. We can decide after he grows up a little bit. If the examination shows that he indeed has a problem, then we make up our mind, shall we?”

Terence leaned over and put his hand on the top of the bed. He said, “Are you sure?”

Esther hesitated and said, ‘Yes.”

Terence fell into silence and nodded. He replied, “Alright. You can make the decision. I will listen to you.”

“Really?” Esther felt excited, looking at Terence with her watery eyes. Esther continued, “Terence, are you really not speaking in anger? Can we give him a chance?”

Terence shook his hand and looked at Esther seriously, “I am not joking. I am serious.”

“Oh my, Thank you, Terence,” Esther said and then leaned over to hug Terence. Tears welled up in her eyes. She was moved this time.

Terence patted her shoulder and said coldly but tenderly, “Esther, lay down and have a rest. You need to rest.”

Esther nodded and lay down.

Terence lay on the bed and looked at Terence who walked to the end of the bed. Then Terence sat there screening his phone.

The ward was extremely quiet. Any single sound could be heard in the ward. Esther felt weird. She thought she was almost suffocated in the silence.

Esther didn’t expect that Terence would promise her so easily. She thought that Terence would be angry and ordered her to abort the child immediately.

Terence looked cold and indifferent, but he was not as heartless as Esther thought. Terence was also touched by his child.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

The silence lasted for about 10 minutes and then Esther spoke up. She said softly, “Terence, can I ask you a question?”

Esther had calmed down at this time, so her voice was quiet.

“What do you want to say?” Terence looked at Esther.

“Why did the doctor deem that there was something wrong with your gene? Have you had a child before?”

In fact, she had wanted to ask this question a long time ago, but she didn’t dare to ask because she was afraid of touching his sore spot.

Hearing her question, Terence’s face changed slightly.

Esther said in a hurry, “Sorry, I don’t mean to… Forget it.”

Terence pondered for a while. Esther thought that he wouldn’t answer her. Then Terence said, “Shirly had a child once and aborted him in the fifth month because the examination had problems.”

Esther was surprised. She had not expected the answer.

Then Esther found out that Terence and Shirly had a child once and the child was aborted later.

Looking at the sadness in Terence’s eyes, Esther suddenly felt a little sympathetic for him. Though she was a little bit hopeless, she comforted him, “Terence, don’t worry. The doctor said that I can give birth to a healthy child. I believe that I can. Isn’t it the purpose of our marriage? Believe in our child, okay?”

Terence nodded his head gently. He had nothing to do but only believe in Esther.

Terence lowered his head to continue browsing through the phone, and Esther stopped talking.

…

Amanda hung up the phone. When she turned around, she saw Anne standing behind her. After being startled for a moment, she said, a little bit angry, “Anne, what’s the matter? You scared me to death.”

Anne felt innocent and she replied, “Mom, I just knocked.”

Amanda was not in a good mood. She said with a sense of anger, “Don’t come in if I don’t answer you next time!”

“I see.” Anne felt Amanda’s unhappiness and she asked carefully, “Mom, how is it? Is Esther’s baby aborted or not?”

“Don’t mention it. Look at what you did! The person you found is indeed useless.” Amanda said furiously.

As expected, Esther still had her baby. A hint of disappointment flashed across Anne’s face, but quickly Anne showed her guilt. Anne said, “Sorry, mom. I don’t know that person either. I asked my friend to do it.”

“Forget it. What’s done is done. Esther was lucky this time,” said Amanda. Then she glanced at Anne.

“Is Esther injured?”

“She was injured in her head, not in her stomach.” Amanda felt regretful thinking of it. The child was supposed to die because Esther was just pregnant.

Amanda and Anne were silent for a moment. Then Anne comforted, “Mom, it doesn’t matter. I will find a more reliable man next time. The child cannot survive any longer.”

“Next time?” Amanda cried out strangely. She grabbed Anne’s wrist and said seriously, “Anne, don’t do it again.”

“Why?”

“Terence was not stupid. It’s an accident because it just happens once. It was not an accident when it happened twice in a row. Terence is hostile to us for a long time, so he will definitely suspect us. Leave Esther alone.”

“But Esther’s child is a secret to anyone now, and even grandparents don’t know it. Of course, Terence should not suspect us because we are supposed to not know it,” Anne replied.

That was also the reason why Anne chose the time when Esther announced her pregnancy to cause her injury.

“No. It was not an accident. I told you. Alright, stop and forget it. Don’t mess around. Do you understand?” Amanda was serious.

Anne nodded and caressed her flat belly carefully.

However, Anne had her ideas. She couldn’t be stopped in this way because she had already made up her mind. Those who love Terence in the world must hate the baby of Esther…

Amanda looked at Anne’s belly and said with a sense of tenderness,” How’s your baby? Did you have an examination in the morning?”

Anne also felt pleasant when hearing about Amanda’s care. Then she said, “Pretty well. The doctor said that everything was OK.”

“Did the doctor tell you that you should eat something to keep healthy, or do something?” asked Amanda.

“Just as normal. I need to eat nourishing food and keep a good mood,” said Anne, who looked at Amanda secretly. Then she continued, “I especially can’t be agitated or angry.”

Amanda nodded and said, “Then have a relax.”

“I want to, but mom…” Anne said cutely. She continued, “But James hasn’t come back. It’s late now. And he didn’t even answer my phone.”
