Chapter 117 Abortion
Teresa looked at her son, confused, wondering why Arvin stopped, and who in hell spiked him.
Arvin's words reminded Finn that, yes, what really mattered was the daughter.
"What's your plan?" Finn sat back into the sofa and asked.
"It's my fault! I will compensate Nita for my wrongs."
Even James could not tolerate his heartlessness, let alone Nita! "Shut up! It's about Nita's reputation.
How dare you talk like that!"
"What should I do, sir?" Arvin said indifferently, looking into James's eyes. "I will do anything as it
pleases you."
"What should you do? Shouldn't you bear the burden for my daughter's sake?" James hinted at their
intention.
"But sir, " Arvin reminded them, "the whole J City know I have a fiancee from the Yin family, who were
your friends. If I marry Nita, what will the Yin family think?"
At this moment, Finn suddenly started to talk about an unrelated person, "Arvin, we all know you were
engaged to marry Rosa, so why are you living with Angela? How will you explain this to the Yin family?"
When it came to Angela, Arvin's face darkened. He said, "She lives at my place because we are
working together on a research project. It has nothing to do with her."
"Everyone in the hospital knows what you and Angela did at the artificial lake. Will you insist you are
innocent?"
"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Arvin asked, and cast his eagle eyes on Nita, whose words stung
him.
Nita was afraid of him, and of what he could do. She clenched her fists and stopped talking out of fear
of his antipathy.
Finn's heart was broken when she saw her daughter's aggrieved look."Can you make sure nothing
happened between you and Angela when you lived together?"
Arvin's face darkened even more. He was indeed very intimate with Angela.
But he did not take her virginity...
When Arvin was thinking about how to reply, James laughed scornfully and said, "Don't try to fool me
as you fooled Nita! What could a rookie nurse in Yao Hospital do to help with your project?"
"I believe that you know a maxim, sir-- Don't judge a book by its cover, " Arvin said with a faint smile.
This smile made Nita's breath quicken.
Arvin's smile was breathtaking...
"What do you mean?" James was perplexed. He couldn't believe such a simple-minded girl could have
any gifts.
"Look, ten years ago, the son of Chuck at Chengyang Private Hospital, Sven, invented a formula to
cure eye disease and it caused a stir in medical community. Do you remember?"
Finn and Nita were both medical workers. They knew it well. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
So, James had also learnt a little about it.
Even Teresa, though she remained silent since the conversation started, could not help showing her
admiration when she called to mind her daughter's words about Angela.
Angela Si, Sven Si... "They are siblings?" Nita suddenly became enlightened.
Arvin tacitly agreed.
"Well, " Finn said, "let's say they are siblings. What of it?"
"What I'm trying to say is the patent belongs to Angela. She was only thirteen years old at that time."
He knew all of Angela's patents, but he didn't name out every one of them. Angela always kept a low
profile, and this singularity was enough get people to sit up and take notice.
Everybody was in awed silence by Arvin's words.
Arvin started talking again to sidetrack the topic away from Angela. He said, "As for me and Miss.
Zhen, I can give you a clear response. We will not get engaged! But I will try to meet other conditions."
Miss. Zhen!
Nita was heartbroken to hear Arvin call her like that. "What if I become pregnant with your child?" Nita
asked. She was about to lose control.
"Abortion!" Arvin replied without hesitation.
Nita's face turned pale. She looked at the heartless man. Her lips quivered but could not say a word.
"You are an expert ob-gyn, " Arvin said. " You know what acyeterion is. If you don't want to take it, I will
get some for you!" Arvin walked directly to the front door.
"Arvin, " Teresa finally halted him.
"What, mom?" Arvin stood at porch with his back to everyone.
Teresa knew that she must say something, so she got up from the sofa and said, "Have the decency to
treat a young lady properly. Why not do what we accorded previously. If Rosa does not come back at
the end of this year, you shall marry Nita."
Arvin turn his eyes to Nita and said, "Do you think it's good to live with a person you don't love?"
Nita moved her lips, saying, "Never mind. So long as I love you."
"Do so at your cost!" Arvin said in displeasure.
Then he left the Zhen family home, leaving no chance for anyone to say anything further.
Back in the car, Arvin could still smell the pleasant scent of Angela... He was so agitated that he
punched the steering wheel.
After a while, the butler came to the hall with something in hand. Finn looked very nervous.
"What's that?" Finn asked.
The butler raised his hand and said in a trembling voice, "D...Doctor Gu... asked me... to bring this
here. He said it is... for the Miss!"
The four people were shocked when they saw it was a package of contraceptive pills.
Nita grabbed the package and almost threw it into the trash can, but she managed to restrain herself.
She smiled wanly. It was evidence of how Arvin had humiliated her. She would not throw it away.
Teresa sighed deeply. She held Nita's hands and said, "Don't worry, Nita. I will talk to Arvin later and
give you an answer."
"Don't force him, ma'am..." Nita shook her head in frustration. The rims of her eyes reddened.
In fact, she was afraid that Arvin would be grow so incensed that he would send men to investigate the
issue, as he was wont to do. Then she would be a sitting duck.
That morning, someone was trying to draw some secret out of the butler when he had just phoned
Finn.
They asked the butler whether Nita came back last night and where she went.
Fortunately, Finn had told the butler how to reply, so that their plot was not exposed.
