The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 947

Hailey froze up. "What are you talking about? Getting rid of the baby?" she questioned.

Jonah let out a cold laugh and asked, "Isn't that exactly what's happening?"

She quickly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Jonah, I need to tell you something. Today, someone took me to the hospital by force. They wanted to hurt our baby. That person was—"

She tried to say Joanne and Ewan's names, but Jonah cut her off.

He looked at her with a mocking smile. "Ms. Hailey, are you trying to lie to me again?"

Hailey threw back the blanket and got out of bed. "When did I lie to you?"

"Did someone take you to the hospital, or did you go on your own?"

Did someone want to hurt the baby, or is it you who didn't want this child?

Hailey was taken aback. "I don't want the baby? Jonah, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all!"

"That's enough, Ms. Hailey. How much longer are you going to keep pretending? You went to the hospital today by yourself because you want to get rid of the baby. You went to get an abortion, am I right?"

Hailey gasped in shock. She went for an abortion? She didn't want to keep the baby?

Jonah continued, "If I hadn't rushed to the hospital in time today and pulled you off that operating table, the baby would already be gone!"

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Hailey's shoulder. His fingers pressed hard, making his knuckles turn white with the force.

"Hailey, how can you be so cruel? Isn't this your child too?" he demanded.

Hailey was puzzled. "Jonah, I never wanted to get rid of this baby. I—"

"Hailey, you're so cruel! You never intended to let me know about the baby. Have you thought about how unfair that is to me? I'm the father, so I have the right to know about the baby!"

Hailey was shocked, but finally it all clicked. "You're saying I went to get an abortion? Who told you that?"

"Who else? The doctor told me! And I've already checked the hospital's record book!"

He wanted her to carry the child to term.

Jonah tightened his grip on her shoulders. "Hailey, I've never asked you for anything. Just this once, I'm begging you—keep the baby. This is a life, and it's also my child. If you give birth to this baby, I promise you, I'll stay out of your life. You won't ever have to see me again."

Hailey froze. "You want to stay away from me?"

"Isn't that what you've always wanted? Hailey, I tried to win your heart back. I really did, but no matter how hard I tried, you were still cold toward me. So I'm done."

He was really letting go and wanted to leave her.

"You give birth to the baby and hand the child over to me. I'll be a good father, and I'll raise the child on my own. You can name your conditions. As long as you're willing to carry this baby to term, I'll agree to anything."

Hailey never imagined Jonah would back down this far for the sake of their child. He truly loved this child.

However, he had completely misunderstood her.

With no proof, she had no way to clear her name.
