Summer's heart raced as she panicked when Mark was next to her. They were both very close to each other. She was afraid that he could hear their conversation or hear Ronald's voice.
She leaned away from Mark as she spoke clearly. " Let's meet at the cafe outside of the school tomorrow a 112.00 pm."
She hung up right after she finished speaking, not waiting for Ronald's response.
Mark was drying his hair with his towel while raising his brows and staring at her. "Who was it?"
"An old teacher. She needed some old documents from me so I asked her to meet me at the cafe tomorrow." Summer put the phone back into her bag and acted normally. "Let’s sleep. If I get up late one more time tomorrow, I won’t stay over ever again."
Mark leaned toward her and kissed her soft cherry lips. "Goodnight."
Summer returned his kiss as she smiled faintly." Goodnight."
He could only watch but not taste the snack next to him. 'How cruel is this life.' Mark let out a soft sigh as he held Summer tightly in his arms and buried his
face in her hair. They then fell into a deep sleep.
The morning after.
Mark was not late. He stared at the clock and woke her up as soon as it struck 7.00 am. Breakfast was already prepared on the table, including hot milk and orange juice.
After she freshened up, Summer drank some hot milk and ate some boiled eggs as she could not eat food that was too oily.
Mark sent Summer to her school before he dropped Charlotte off.
Summer only had two classes in the morning, so she had a loose schedule. Around 11.00 am, her phone vibrated, and a text tone rang.
"You’re backing out now? As a teacher, are you going back on your word? You were the one who initially agreed to this."
"That is true. I want to donate my bone marrow too, but an accident happened. I’m now one month pregnant."
Ronald furrowed his brows as he looked at her with doubt before continuing, "What’s the connection between the two?"
"If I want to donate my bone marrow, I need to abort m y baby. If not, it will have a negative impact on the baby.”
He took a sip of his coffee. "You’re still young. You can get another baby in the future, but she can only wait for you to save her."
Summer raised her brows as her chest expanded. "The baby is in me and it’s a life. Besides, the chances of m e getting pregnant in the future are very slim."
As expected, everyone was selfish in this world. In critical situations, we only cared about the things that were beneficial to us.
