But if she didn’t tell him, what should she do with this baby?
Have a miscarriage or give birth to this child?
She rested her hand on her lower abdomen, as if she could feel the child’s existence.
Thinking of Ronan’s face, she really wanted to keep his child.
She didn’t want to have a miscarriage, she wanted to keep this child that God has given her.
He was drunk that night, and he didn’t remember the only sex with her, so he would never have thought that this child would be his.
Thinking of her concealment at the beginning, she really didn’t know if she did it right or wrong. Maybe God somehow just wanted her to have this baby.
She would graduate soon, and there would be no classes in the next half month. After the graduation exam, everything would be over, then she would found a place to give birth to the child alone, and then…
Thinking of these, her heart throbbed. She was really too brave to give birth to children without marriage.
But when she thought of Ronan, she really wanted to give birth to this child.
Maybe what he did for her, for the Hill family, and for Natalie Doyle that day had really moved her, and she remembered it to this day.
After having a long walk, seeing that it was getting dark, she suddenly remembered that she should go back, otherwise Grandpa would be worried. Surprisingly, her cell phone hadn’t ringed all the time. Could it be that she didn’t hear it?
Halle took out her mobile phone from her pocket and found that her mobile phone was dead.
God, maybe Ronan called.
She hurriedly walked back to the hospital. If he had called, she would be really embarrassed.
She almost rushed into the lobby of the hospital. Standing in the elevator, she started to get nervous for no reason, and even she herself didn’t know what was going on.
When she reached the floor where Grandpa was hospitalized, she hurried out of the elevator and saw the doctors and nurses walking in and out of Grandpa’s ward anxiously. There was a throb in her heart. What happened to Grandpa?
She didn’t believe that things could happen so fast, but when she rushed into the ward, she saw the ECG picture and busy doctors and nurses. For a moment, she really wanted to escape, and she didn’t want to see such a sentimental picture.
Too fast.
More than a month ago, Grandpa still looked so healthy, but now, reality told her cruelly that Grandpa really couldn’t survive it, just like her father and mother.
Was the world in heaven beautiful?
She didn’t know, but even if heaven was beautiful, she wanted Grandpa to stay.
The feeling between people can be a very strange thing, because she had felt close to him at first sight of Grandpa, and she liked Grandpa.
With so many people in front of Grandpa’s bed, Ronan was also there. For the first time she saw him a little flustered, with countless fine beads of sweat on his forehead. She knew that he loved grandpa very much, otherwise he would not have chosen her for Grandpa.
But sometimes, she wondered why he chose her among so many women?
Was it, as Violet Wallace said, because she looked like someone?
In fact, she has never been obedient. He wanted to have a baby for Grandpa, but she had always been uncooperative. But unexpectedly at this time there was his baby in her belly.
Baby, that was what Grandpa always wanted.
She wanted to rush forward to hug Grandpa, and tell him the news in his ear. Maybe that can bring Grandpa back to life?
Tears flowed in big drops, and she really did, “Grandpa, I’m here.” She walked over, holding Grandpa’s skinny hand.
Grandpa didn’t move, his closed eyes without any vitality.
Why would Grandpa be like this and she had been away for just one afternoon?
“Mr. Grant, we have done our best.” The doctor has stopped the rescue, announcing the impending possibility to Ronan regretfully.
A string of footsteps walked out of the ward with a low and heavy sound. Soon, Halle and Ronan were left by themselves in the ward. They knew that this was the time to say goodbye to the elderly.
She was weeping in a low voice, and her tears blurred her eyes.
“Halle, we did our best.” Behind her, Ronan said softly.
Yes, they did their best. To make Grandpa happy, she became his nominal wife.
But she really didn’t want to let Grandpa go.
She began to shake her grandfather’s hand desperately, “Grandpa, wake up. Grandpa, I tell you a good news. You will have a great grandson soon.” She thought she should tell him, otherwise it would be a lifetime regret. Because she wanted Grandpa to leave peacefully.
Suddenly she was tightly held on her shoulder by Ronan’s hand, “Halle, what did you say?”
“I’m pregnant.” She said without thinking. For the sake of Grandpa, she just no longer cared about the consequences.
“Halle, you don’t…” Ronan looked serious. He knew what he had done, and he had never touched a finger of her, but now she actually said that, even in front of Grandpa.
But before he finished speaking, Grandpa on the bed opened his eyes magically, “My… grandson…”
Halle was overjoyed, and a smile appeared in her teary eyes, “Grandpa, yes, I’m pregnant.”
Grandpa’s hand lifted slightly, magically. He touched Halle’s face, “It’s great. You have to be a good wife, I like you…” Every word was spoken intermittently, but it also made Halle and Ronan able to hear clearly.
Was that terminal lucidity?
Halle didn’t know. She just wanted to make Grandpa happy, “Thank you Grandpa, I like you too.”
“If he is born, take him… to… visit me…” After finishing the last word, Grandpa’s hand slowly dropped, looking at Halle peacefully, and he didn’t move anymore.
“Grandpa…” she cried. After the month they spent together, Grandpa was already part of her life. She seemed to have become accustomed to having an old man next to her to share life stories with. Maybe when she was old and looked back upon her life, she would also find her life beautiful.
Grandpa said that he never regretted coming to this world.
Grandpa said that his greatest wish was for his grandson to give him a great grandson.
She told him, so Grandpa can finally leave with peace of mind.
She was crying so sad. The words and sentences that Grandpa once said were vividly lingering in her ears, “Grandpa, I will definitely give birth to this child and take him to visit you. I promise.”
“Halle, is that enough?” Suddenly, Ronan’s slightly angry voice came from behind her. If it wasn’t for Grandpa who had just passed away, he really wanted to slap her now. He didn’t even touch her, where did the child come from. Was it possible that she wanted to continue the marriage with him?
But he didn’t want to do this. Grandpa passed away, so it was time for him to terminate their marriage. They didn’t even get a marriage certificate, so everything became simple.
For Grandpa, he sacrificed his first wedding in his life to her.
The sharp tone made Halle sober. God, hasn’t she decided not to tell him?
Why did she say it?
If he knew, he would take the child away from her after it was born.
She turned her head to look at him in a panic, “Ronan, I’m sorry.”
“Halle, if not for Grandpa, I would have asked you to leave this room immediately. Are you really willing to continue this fake marriage with me?”
She was startled, and did not understand what he meant for a while.
“Do you want to keep me with your child? Tell me, whose child is it?”
Halle was stunned. She really just didn’t want Grandpa to leave with regrets, but Ronan actually thought that she was talking like this for another purpose.
She didn’t, she really didn’t. Working hard to calm herself down, she stood up and violently dragged him out of Grandpa’s ward, standing in the corridor, she looked him in his eyes and said word by word. “Ronan, I have no children, nothing. I just want Grandpa to leave without regrets,”
she said with her heart bleeding. He could think she was lying, but he couldn’t insult her.
Halle didn’t know how she left the hospital and returned to the villa. She packed her things. He bought almost everything here. In fact, as soon as the Hill family paid him back, she would then owe him nothing.
Literally nothing.
But in the process, she seemed to have lost her heart.
When she walked out of the room with a small backpack, Halle raised her head. After going out, she would take back her heart and bury the feeling of love from now on. She no longer loved him.
The exam was about to come, Halle was busy day and night, but no matter how busy she was, she would spare time to attend Grandpa’s funeral.
In the school, there were more and more rumors about her. Because Ronan no longer appeared, so many people were rumoring that she was dumped.
She just laughed and ignored it and did not respond. She was now waiting for graduation with all her heart, and then find a quiet place to give birth in private.
She went to the doctor and got some medicine that could reduce vomiting, because she didn’t want anyone to know about her pregnancy. She just wanted to leave Ronan without extra troubles. He said that he had the final say on the end of the agreement.
Maybe he had been busy with Grandpa’s funeral these days, so he hadn’t said it, or was he trying to give her some dignity and let her bring it up by herself?
Anyway, the breakup was doomed. She didn’t allow him to touch her, so he couldn’t stand a woman like her.
In the afternoon there was the last exam, and then the graduation defense. Halle was going to find a clean restaurant for lunch outside the school, because she was no longer alone, but had a baby. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was crazy. Why would someone even want to get pregnant without marriage. However, now that she had decided, she never wanted to change her mind.
In summer, the palm trees in the school are especially green. While passing by the sea of flowers, she suddenly discovered that there were a large batch of barberton daisy in the flowerbed, which reminded her suddenly of the barberton daisy Ronan sent her every day. The flower was so beautiful that she didn’t want to look away, and she reached out and touched the flower. It smelled so good.
