NovelOnlineShelly had considered everything.
She concluded that she could not keep the child and had to keep her pregnancy a secret from her family and colleagues.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What is it? Do you need money? How much?" Courtney asked.
"No. It's not that. Let's just meet and talk!" Shelly could not bring herself to talk about it over the phone.
"Alright. Are you at the apartment now? I will drop by later." "Sure." Forty minutes later, Courtney arrived at the flat, and Shelly was waiting with a home-cooked meal.
Courtney's lips curled into a smile. "Shelly, it's not even tfor lunch yet! What's so important that you can't talk about it over the phone? I'm itching to know." She sat down in a chair and stared at Shelly.
Shelly poured her a glass of water and sat down next to her. "Courtney, we don't have any mutual friends, and you don't know my family, so you are the only one I could think of to ask," Shelly said seriously. "I'm pregnant, and I want an abortion, but the hospital requires a third party's signature on the consent form. I want you to sign the form for me." Courtney was stunned.
Though she had not lived with Shelly for long, she could tell what kind of person Shelly was.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShelly was not a woman who would sleep around, nor did she have a boyfriend.
'How did she end up pregnant?' Courtney thought.
"Whose baby is it? You don't have a boyfriend, right?" Courtney picked up the glass and sipped on her water. "How far along are you? I can't even tell that you are pregnant." Shelly bowed her head. "I just got pregnant...?" "Oh? So that means you got pregnant after I moved in, right? But belie I've never seen you bring a man home. Who's the dad? Does he want to take responsibility?" Courtney clenched her fists. "Don't be afraid. Tellhis name, and I'll teach him a lesson. I won't tell him that I'm your friend." "It was an accident. He doesn't even know that I'm pregnant." "An accident? Are you not going to tell the guy? Even if you don't want to baby, you need someone to pay for the medical fees, right? Your family's debt hasn't been paid, and you can't just go through this alone!" Courtney said. "You still haven't toldwho he is." "I don't know him. Besides, it's not like he forced himself on me, so I don't want to tell him about this," Shelly whispered in embarrassment.
"Huh?! You don't know him? Was it a one-night stand?" Courtney scratched her head. "I didn't even know that you were that open- minded! Besides that, why didn't you take any precautions?!" "It's not what you think..." Shelly blushed. "Both he and I aren't the kind of people who have one-night stands... It'splicated. I -Just think of it asbeing caught in the moment!" "Alright! Is that guy that handsome?" Courtney asked in confusion.
"Quite," Shelly muttered sheepishly.
"If he is that good-looking, why don't you keep the child? If you are having issues with money, I can lend you some!" Courtney thought that a child with a handsman would be rather good-looking as well.
"Courtney, I'm not like you. It's not just about the finances. It's also because of what others might say. If my parents and relatives find out about this, they won't stop talking about it." "Your parents are relying on you to pay their debts, so who are they to judge you? As for your relatives, you only meet with them once a year. It's not like they have any say in your life, so et about them. It alles down to whether you want the baby or not. If you do, keep it. If you hate kids, get rid of it, Courtney said. "Stop living in the past, and live for yourself." Shelly looked up at her. "But even you have to accept an arranged marriage. Living freely isn't that easy." "That's because I don't want to give Boy 129 up on the lifestyle my parents provide for me. Your parents aren't paying you, and you are extremely hard-working, so there's no way you can't make it work with a child,' Courtney retorted. "A man who could convince you to sleep with him has to be really brilliant. Brilliance runs in the genes. You'd better think twice before deciding whether you want to go through with the abortion." mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1
