Chapter 10: Would I accept an illegitimate mutt?
"Take her to the hospital."
Cristian's cold voice fell like ice falling on her body, "Check her if she is pregnant and tell me when the
test result comes out."
Luca nodded immediately.
"No!" Serena tried to break free strongly, "Cristian Ferrari, we are just a falsely married couple. What
qualification do you have to let them treat me like this. Leave me alone!"
"Leave you alone?" Cristian's eyes were cold with an indifferent tone, "If you let me find out you are
pregnant, you should be aware of the consequences. Luca, take her away."
Knowing that she was not the person he was looking for, there was no longer any sense of pity for
Cristian.
"Hurry up and take her to the hospital for examination." Luca gestured.
Although Serena did not want to go, she was quickly taken outside and dragged to the car.
As she extremely resisted them on the way to the hospital, Serena could no longer free herself from
them. After they arrived at the hospital, Serena saw the doctor again. The group of people came and
went again carrying a woman back and forth, and forced the crowd to retreat to the side.
These people did not look like gentlemen. No one wanted to disturb them.
At the whole process, Serena was forced to accept the checkup. Then, the result was brought directly
before Cristian: "Result?"
"The fact that she is pregnant...is true." Luca answered.
At that exact moment, Serena felt that the shield she made with great difficulty was pierced. The secret
of pregnancy was known by him, which left her no place to hide anymore.
How could she stay in the Ferrari family after Cristian was so aware of this news?
As expected, Cristian's eyes became as sharp as a knife: "Do you want me to take responsibility for
that? You are not capable of it."
Serena raised her eyes and looked at him helplessly. "Can you give me some time? I didn't know about
this pregnancy either."
"Oh yeah?" Cristian arched his eyebrows, "Are you going to tell me that you don't know anything, and
that you go to the hospital for abortion?"
Hearing the words, Serena was stunned for a few seconds. She would like to handle the matter calmly,
but the idea of aborting the baby had never appeared in her mind.
Cristian suddenly reached out his hand to lift her chin, and his eyes remained somber, "How about I
give you a chance? If you want to stay in the Ferrari family. It's easy, very easy. All you need to do is
abortion."
Serena slowly widened her eyes. Abortion?
"No! Impossible!"
"Impossible?" said Cristian looking at her as if she were ridiculous, "Do you really think I would accept
an illegitimate mutt?"
Illegitimate...? Her pale lips trembled a little bit. She had never imagined that she would be pregnant.
Accompanied by a cold and unforgiving gaze, the man's sour words continued, "Have you made up
your mind? Do you think that bringing your ex-husband's child into my family is something acceptable
to me? Or are you doing all this out of contempt just because I am disabled?"
Shaking her head, Serena said, "I never thought so." She had never had sex with Francis before, and
she did not expect at all that she would become pregnant! How could she know that she would lose her
virginity on that rainy night and get pregnant? All of this became a heavy burden which suddenly fell on
Serena's shoulders.
"No, please no!" Serena was aware that her pregnancy could make her be expelled from the Ferrari
family, and be sent straight back to the Gallo family. After that, she would be mocked by the whole
town. Therefore, she asked, "Could you give me some time?"
"Of course, for a greedy woman like you, I really should give you more time" The man smiled
ostentatiously and said, "Three days. I'll give you three days for the abortion."
The woman's eyes widened in surprise for what he just said.
"If in three days you are still pregnant, I will immediately drive you out of the house." Leaving these
words behind, the two walked away.
Serena, who was left alone, fell to the ground with frozen limbs.
After a moment, Serena pulled out her cell phone to call to Alice Giordano, a friend of hers. Within half
an hour after the call, Alice came to pick her up.
"Tell me, what happened?" said Alice who was offering her a glass of cold juice.
Serena put it back on the table. After all, with a baby inside her belly, ice-cold drinks were not good for
her.
Serena was taken aback by her thought. Why did she... care about this baby so much?
"Aren't you going to take it? Wasn't the juice your favorite?" Alice raised her eyebrows all in surprise
when she saw that Serena had put the glass down.
"I can't take it now."
"Why?"
"I'm pregnant."
At first, Alice did not respond but nodded, "Yes, it's time to get pregnant after two years of marriage." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
"I got diavorced a month ago."
"Huh?"
"But I just recently remarried."
"Wait a minute! Serena, can you not talk at such a fast pace? Divorced and married again? What are
you doing? Let me adjust to the situation for a moment." Alice was so frightened that she covered her
chest to calm herself down.
As Alice came to her senses, Serena had to tell her everything that had happened recently.
"So now you are Mrs. Ferrari?"
"Only in name, and I may not be any more very soon."
"I'll kill you." Alice jumped up suddenly pretending to strangle her by the neck and saying, "Are we
friends or not? Big change like these, and you only tell me now? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"They happened suddenly. I don't know how to tell you."
"So what? You had to tell me anyway. It's a very serious matter." Pondering, Alice said coldly, "I'll take
you to the hospital to have abortion."
Hearing this, Serena raised her head and repeated, "Abortion?"
"Or what? Do you want to keep it? This is a stranger's child! Serena, don't be stupid. Who knows what
that man is like? You have to abort it!" said Alice with serious face.
"But it has already formed. It is a human life. Isn't that too cruel to it?" Serena stroked her belly and
continued, "After all, it is a little life that has its own breath."
"Don't think too much. It's only one month old. It's not a life at all! If you don't terminate the pregnancy
now, you should regret it after a few months!" Bring concerned for her, Alice continued, "What are you
thinking about? That is a stranger's child. If you don't get rid of it, you couldn't stay in the Ferrari family.
If you go back home, will your parents let you stay without punishment?"
These words recalled the memory of Serena who suddenly looked up.
Alice was right. If she still wanted to stay in the Ferrari family, the child cannot stay.
Was there no other solutions anymore?
