Freya was utterly taken aback as she read the message.
Marriage?
Who with whom?
Among the people she knew, it seemed like no one was getting married, right?
Sacha and Evan?
They couldn’t have reconciled so quickly, could they?
Just as she was pondering this, another message came in.
?I’ve thought about it for a long time, and I’ve decided to tell you.】
?You’re probably the only person I can contact and care about.】
Freya seemed to have a suspicion.
She immediately asked, 【Is it Luna?】
?Yes.】
?Where are you now? Who are you getting married to?】 she almost instinctively inquired.
…
Luna stared at the message from Freya and did not respond.
She did not want Freya to come see her, or worse, to attend her wedding.
She just wanted a simple life.
Deciding to marry Tyler was probably her way of feeling warmth in this unfamiliar city and making a decision.
A few days ago, at the team dinner, when she smelled the gamey odor of lamb, she gagged and a veteran forensic pathologist blurted out, “Are you pregnant?”
One sentence, and everyone’s gaze turned to her.
Because when she joined the team, she had told everyone that she was single, unmarried, with no boyfriend.
Suddenly being accused of being pregnant, she was at a loss for words, feeling embarrassed and unable to react.
Tyler stepped in and said, “What are you all staring at a girl for? Edmond, shooting off his mouth, you really believe that? Not everyone can handle lamb, let’s eat, let’s eat.”
He beckoned everyone to focus on their meal.
Luna thought Tyler really believed she couldn’t stomach lamb and that Edmond was talking nonsense.
But then he switched his work position.
From field investigation to answering calls.
Clearly, he was looking out for her.
She found an opportunity to ask Tyler, “Why did you change my position?”
“People who are pregnant are not suitable for witnessing too bloody scenes.” He spoke calmly, with no disdain or condescension.
Luna seemed unprepared for his directness.
Facing him, she felt extremely awkward!
“Edmond is an old hand in the team, he has been in forensic pathology for over thirty years, he has an eye for these things.” Tyler had believed Edmond’s words from the start, he just said that to ease Luna’s troubles.
Luna felt ashamed.
For the first time, she felt embarrassed in front of a man.
This embarrassing situation made her feel utterly humiliated.
After hesitating and agonizing for a few days.
She decided to terminate the pregnancy!
It seemed like Tyler anticipated her decision.
As she lay on the operating table, he stopped her and said, “Are you going to end a life just like that?”
Luna remained silent.
Because she knew deep down.
She could raise the child on her own, but it would be a struggle, she could endure it, but she couldn’t bear the thought of the child not growing up in a stable home.
She was unfortunate herself.
She didn’t want her child to be unfortunate too.
Rather than facing judgment in the future, it was better to prevent the child from entering this world.
“If you wish, I can be the child’s father, I can treat them like my own.” Tyler said earnestly, “From the moment I first saw you, I felt a strong attraction towards you.”
Shocked, Luna’s reaction was more about evasion and avoidance.
She was reluctant to carry someone else’s child and marry him.
She felt it would be unfair to him!
Moreover, she didn’t want her child to grow up under someone else’s roof.
She doubted the sincerity of his words.
Blood relation or not, there was a difference!
It couldn’t be the same as with biological children.
She was clear in her mind.
She wouldn’t agree.
And she wouldn’t keep the child.
Until one unexpected incident made her change her mind!
