Seeing her father’s firm stance, Larissa said no more. Deep down, she agreed with him. Her mother’s well-being was far more important than the unpredictable outcome of a high-risk pregnancy.
“I understand, Dad.”
Neville gripped the steering wheel, took a deep breath, and then said with a heavy but firm voice, “Larissa, I hope you won’t bring this up with your mother again. From now on, you are our one and only daughter.”
“Okay.”
Changing the subject, Neville said, “The rumors are all saying that Haskell can’t have children. If that’s true, would you…”
Larissa smiled. “I can cure him, Dad. But, if I truly wanted a child and his condition was incurable, I would leave him without a second thought.”
Neville was stunned by her swift, decisive answer.
“Fortunately for him, having children isn’t a necessity for me, so I don’t mind either way.”
For a moment, Neville didn’t know what to say. As a father, he was relieved that his daughter was so clear-headed. She would never let herself be mistreated in her marriage to Haskell. He just wondered if Haskell would be heartbroken to know her thoughts on the matter.
When they arrived at Starlight Media, Larissa got out of the car. The window rolled down, and Neville leaned out. “I’ll leave work early to pick you up today.”
“Okay.”
