Chapter 422 You Are Pregnant
Finished
Maya followed Ellis‘ instructions. As she watched the nurse draw her blood, she casually asked. “Why do you seem so familiar with the whole pregnancy test process?”
“Because I’ve done it before.” Ellis admitted without hesitation
That time, Easton had dragged her there against her will.

Her nausea had been purely psychological, but he was convinced she was pregnant, insisting that was the only explanation for how sick she felt
Maya’s gaze lingered on Ellis‘ abdomen for a few seconds before she said. “You used to be ridiculously love–struck. How did you not realize Easton wanted a kid with you?‘
“Don’t bring up my humiliating past!” Ellis groaned, feeling secondhand embarrassment for her former self. “Everyone has their dumb moments. The important thing is that I’ve come to my senses”
If you’re back to normal, then I must be the one who’s lost my mind. The sharp sting from the needle as the nurse finished drawing her blood made Maya wince. She truly felt like she had made a terrible mistake
Ellis watched the nurse walk away before saying, “If the test confirms you’re pregnant, are you really not going to hold Cameron accountable? At the very least, you two should have a conversation about whether to keep the baby or not”
Maya had no intention of keeping it.
She had only been working for a few years, barely managing to support herself, let alone raise a child.
Cameron had the financial means, but there was no emotional foundation between them. Marriage and parenthood were entirely out of the question. Besides, wealthy families like the Monash family wouldn’t want an illegitimate child running around
After a brief moment of contemplation, Maya spoke with unwavering resolve. Til terminate it. It’s the best decision for me, Cameron, and the baby
The right to choose belonged to women. Since they were the ones who endured ten months of pregnancy and the pain of childbirth, the decision should be entirely theirs. No one else had the right to interfere.
As a fellow woman, Ellis had never experienced pregnancy herself, but she fully supported Maya’s choice,
She said, “Once it’s done, cut ties with Cameron. No more lingering complications”
Maya and Cameron’s relationship had never been a proper romance, and with no future together, bringing a child into the mix would only make things messier.
Maya nodded. “That goes without saying.”
One mistake was enough. She wouldn’t make it twice.
Waiting for the test results felt agonizingly long. Maya was restless, unable to sleep, while Ellis, despite her exhaustion, felt a pang of sympathy for her friend.
Finally, the results arrived.
The moment Maya saw them, her heart sank.
Ellis scanned the report again before saying decisively, “Set the date. I’ll be there with you?
Maya never imagined that despite only sleeping with Cameron a handful of times, she had still ended up pregnant.
She clutched her chest. “Give me a second to process this.

“No. Maya said firmly.
Finished
Cameron was a good partner in bed, but at the end of the day, men didn’t have to worry about pregnancy like women did
If she told him, the outcome would be predictable. He’d tell her to get rid of it
Her body, her choice. She would handle it on her own.
“Alright” Ellis linked arms with her. “Let’s go home. Get some rest, and we’ll figure out the next steps tomorrow.”
“Okay Maya walked out of the hospital with Ellis
This was the only way forward.
In Ellis original vision of her future, she and Easton would get married, she would take care of their home while he focused- on his career, and at the right time, they would have a child. Once their child grew up and moved out, she and Easton would enjoy a happy, peaceful old age together.
But Maya had never prioritized love or marriage in her life plan. For someone still climbing the ladder of success, career came first. Love and marriage had no place, especially when she currently had neither.
So, she refused to let herself hesitate. The day after returning from the hospital, she scheduled the procedure
On the morning of her appointment, Maya had to make a court appearance first.
Ellis had taken time off to accompany her. She worked all morning, then returned home at noon to wait for Maya’s call before heading to the hospital together.
The moment Maya notified her, Ellis grabbed her things and left.
Maybe today just wasn’t meant to go smoothly, because in the elevator, she ran into her ex–husband.
Easton looked equally surprised to see her
“Shouldn’t you be at work at this hour?” He knew her schedule well and was puzzled as to why she wasn’t in the Fox Group

“Mind your own business, Ellis snapped, her patience wearing thin
Wanting nothing more than to ignore him, she pulled out her phone and checked the fastest route to the hospital.
