Chapter 1238 Choose One

Book:That Stranger Lying Beside Me Published:2024-6-1

Angel’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Callum come in with a gloomy face.
She wondered how Callum arrived so quickly in her heart.
She forced herself to cry out pitifully, “Dad!”
Callum did not answer her and looked at Angel coldly, which made her shiver in fear.
Madelyn also felt that something was wrong when she stood next to him. She poured a glass of water with a smile and handed it over. “President Floyd, please drink some water!”
Callum took the cup of tea and threw it at Angel’s face while he spat, “You’re a shameless bitch!”
Angel’s face was completely wet. It was not hot, but she felt extremely humiliated because she was scolded in front of Madelyn.
Angel had been in the Floyd family for so many years and Callum had always been very kind to her. This had never happened before.
She covered her face and began to cry. Madelyn was afraid of Callum’s attitude, but her love for Angel shone through. No one else could help Angel, so Madelyn persuaded him boldly, “President Floyd, please calm down! Since things have come to this point, you’d better think of a way! You can’t let Miss be like this…”
“You’re right. This matter needs to be dealt with immediately!” Callum looked at Angel coldly. “You’re disgusting! How can you be so shameless to publicize such a shameful thing? You have to consider the reputation of the Floyd family even if you don’t care about yourself. I’m telling you that you need to abort the bastard in your belly immediately!”
Angel and Madelyn were both shocked when they heard that, but Madelyn secretly hoped that Angel would have an abortion. After all, Richard was not someone who was kind. She was worried that Angel’s identity would be exposed if she was together with Richard for a long time.
Angel and Richard wouldn’t be together if the child was gone, and what Madelyn was worried about would not happen as well.
However, Angel did not think so. She had worked so hard to plan all of this and she didn’t want to have an abortion. Angel sobbed as she looked at him and signalled Madelyn to speak up for her.
Madelyn felt a heavy pressure in her heart, so she took the initiative to say, “Mr. Floyd, it’s not good for you to treat Miss like this.”
“Who do you think you are? Is it your turn to criticize the Floyd family?” Callum did not give Madelyn any mercy.
Madelyn felt embarrassed and said with a red face, “I really don’t have the right to criticize Miss. However, she is you and my sister’s daughter. You’d better discuss this matter with my sister! My sister is so kind that she can’t even bear to hurt small animals, so she will never agree to let Miss have an abortion.”
“She is kind, but she is not shameless. Children should be born out of love. Do you and Richard have feelings for each other? Do you know what kind of attitude Richard has toward you?”
“Love can be cultivated slowly. Miss is so beautiful and she has the backing of the Floyd family, so Richard will definitely like her!”
“Haha!” Callum sneered. “Who gave you the courage to think that Richard likes you? Is it just because the Floyd family can be your backer? Let me tell you, the Floyd family’s attitude towards this matter is very clear. We won’t give you any backing, so you should just give up.”
Angel couldn’t sit still after hearing Callum’s words and she couldn’t care less about her grievances. “Dad! Why can’t you support me? I’m the only heiress of the Floyd family and your only daughter. Why are you doing this to me?”
“Why don’t you know why I’m doing this to you? How can you do such a shameless thing?”
“I’m not shameless and it was just an accident! I didn’t want it either, but it happened. We have to face it and find a way to solve it.”
“Yes, Mr. Floyd, it has already gotten to this point. You can’t keep blaming Miss and we need to find a way to solve this problem!” Madelyn interrupted.
“Miss is pregnant with Richard’s child.  Will Richard be willing to keep this child if you come forward and ask him personally? Miss will be happy to marry Richard at that time.”
“I can’t afford to lose my dignity! You have to get an abortion and I will arrange a doctor immediately!”
“No! Dad, how can you go overboard like this? You haven’t even asked Richard before you decide to kill our child. It’s so unfair!”
“What do you know about fairness? Tell me about it.” Callum’s eyes were full of disdain, which made Angel uncomfortable. She raised her voice and said, “Just as Madelyn said, the child belongs to me and Richard. It’s possible that he is willing to keep the child. Dad, go and tell Richard about this and ask him to accept me and our child!”
“You’ve got the wrong idea! Do you think I’m here to negotiate with you? Do you think I’m that free?” Callum smirked.
“I’ll summarize it for you. I’ll give you two choices now. One is to get an abortion and I can pretend that nothing has happened. The other is to keep this child and get out of the Floyd family!”
Angel was dumbfounded and she said angrily, “I don’t want to lose my child! I won’t do it even if I die! My child is innocent! Dad, you can’t do this to us!”
“So you’re chooing to keep your child?” Callum asked in disgust.
“Yes! My child is innocent! My mother gave birth to me at that time, so why can’t I give birth to him? He has a life and I will never allow anyone to hurt my child!”
Angel tried to persuade Callum by using Emily, but she was disappointed in the end.
Callum had no expression on his face. “Okay! Then you can give birth to your child! From now on, you are not a member of the Floyd family!”
Callum walked away after finishing his words and Angel reached out to stop him. “Dad, you can’t do this to me! I’m your daughter!”
“I don’t have a shameless daughter like you! Get lost!”
Angel stumbled and almost fell, so Madelyn quickly reached out to hold her. “Miss! Miss! Are you okay? Mr. Floyd is so angry and I think you’d better give up.”
“What? How do you want me to give up? Are you crazy? How can I give up the child I have worked so hard to get pregnant with? Let me tell you, I am going to marry Richard no matter what!” Angel scolded angrily.
Madelyn didn’t dare to say anything more when she saw how agitated Angel was. She swallowed her thoughts to persuade Angel to give up. “Miss, why don’t you talk to Madam and ask her to help you?”
“I have to look for both my grandma and Emily. That woman is way too hateful. You must help me persuade her because I can rely on the Floyd family to marry Richard only if she changes her mind!”
