When they left the hospital, Verian did not speak to Heaton throughout the whole journey.
This was because they did not come to an agreement on the decision.
Reaching the villa in Shallow Bay, Heaton got out of the car first. He walked over to her side , opened the door to the front passenger seat, and unfastened her seat belt. He bent over to carry her and walked toward the villa.
Verian huddled in his arms and remained silent. However, when they reached the bedroom, Heaton felt wetness on his chest.
Heaton put her on the bed but kept holding her.
"Riana?"
A mournful cry came from his arms. The little woman's slender fair hand held the collar of his coat. She sobbed as she said, "I can't bear to... Heaton... I really can't bear to abort this child..."
When she first realised she had the child, she panicked and even thought about aborting him. However, if it was not for the child, she did not know how she could pull through the period when Heaton had an accident.
Before she realized it, this child had accompanied her on such a long journey.
This was her child with Heaton. She loved Heaton, as much as she loved the child.
"Let's change out of these dirty clothes first and regarding the child..."
Heaton's voice paused. He hesitated, too.
He never hesitated so much on anything.
He did not want Verian to give birth to this child because he felt distressed to see her endure the hardship of delivering the child. Moreover, he also hated to give up this child.
"Heaton, just let me try, alright? If the child really can't be kept, I'll promise you that I’ll give up this child."
Verian hugged his neck and looked at him, with her moist eyes filled with a pleading gaze.
Sometimes, Heaton was afraid of her.
Heaton did not like women crying too much. If a woman cried continuously in front of him, he would probably end up being more impatient. Nevertheless, when Verian cried, his whole heart softened.
"Stop crying."
Verian continued to cry.
"Riana..."
"If you promise me, then I will stop crying."
"..."
Heaton stared at her. "When did you learn to be so demanding?"
Verian raised her head, hugged his neck, and kissed his thin lips.
This was an affectionate kiss that contained no skills but only mucus and tears.
Obviously, she was trying to please him.
He clearly knew her intentions, but he liked this.
"Will you promise me? I’ll give it a try. If it doesn’t work, we're not keeping the child..."
Heaton was no match for her coaxing and pestering, so he reluctantly agreed.
However, they set a limit of one month. If within one month, her health was still so bad, and her progesterone levels were still low and she bled frequently, they must give up the child.
The doctor said, if she could lie on the bed then do not leave the bed. Also, if she could sit down then do not stand.
As a result, Verian was trapped on the bed.
Heaton had a lot of work so he could not accompany her all the time. He had to take care of her while dealing with work. After a few days, Verian gained weight, but Heaton became thinner.
"Heaton, I'm sorry. I brought you so much trouble. I'll cook supper for you."
Verian was about to get up to make supper, but Heaton pulled his necktie with one hand and held her with the other hand. "Don't move around. Stay here obediently."
Heaton took off his coat and threw it on the sofa nearby. He said, "What do you like to eat? I'll make it."
Heaton furrowed his eyebrows. His heart ached uncomfortably.
After eating, Verian said, "I feel more at ease after eating it."
"In the future, I won't let you have a child again. It's my fault."
Heaton reached for her head and caressed it.
Verian took his hand. "It's better to ask Madam Leah to come to take care of me tomorrow. These days, you're busy with the group's business, and you also have to take care of me."
"Alright."
"By the way, are your other personalities in peace recently? Do you feel anything?"
"Don't worry. If Xavier shows up, you can immediately contact Wilson and let him lock me up in the medical base."
Verian leaned over and kissed his chin with her lips. "Heaton, thank you for supporting my decision. I know that you have a lot of things and work to do now. You even have to face the contingencies from other personalities. Even at this period, I still create unnecessary troubles for you, and I cannot help you. I'm sorry..."
"If you really feel sorry for me, just use your body to compensate me after giving birth."
Verian's face blushed.
Heaton was like a food provider, giving Verian a lot of supplements every day.
After taking a shower, the lotus seed glutinous rice porridge that was cooked in the kitchen was ready. Heaton dished out a bowl and brought it to Verian. Verian ate a small portion from the bowl and could not eat it anymore. Heaton finished the remaining porridge from the bowl and carried Verian to brush her teeth. When Verian was brushing her teeth, she stared at Heaton’s naked upper body in the mirror. She realized that there was a scar on the upper part of his right arm, looking like a scald. It should be an old scar as it was not that obvious.
"Heaton, why is there a scar on your right arm? I didn't realize it before..."
Heaton looked down and frowned slightly. "I was burned by a fire."
"Huh? Why did you get burned by fire?"
"It happened 10 years ago."
While brushing her teeth, Verian muttered in an unclear voice. "You said that you were in a fire 10 years ago. That is such a coincidence... I was also in a fire 10 years ago and was almost burnt to death! Fortunately, I was rescued by someone. I remembered that he was a young man. However, at that time, I was semi conscious because of the heavy smoke, so I couldn't see his face clearly. Moreover, when I woke up in the hospital, he was gone. He was really a good person. He did good deeds without leaving his name..."
