âBut you canât just make decisions like that. Youâre with child now! You donât know how much risk youâre
putting yourself at by agreeing to be a donor. What if⦠What if things go sideways?â
Sabrina watched as Devin struggled to find the right words to finish his sentence.
It was only after Devin was done speaking that Sabrina sneered condescendingly at the man. âWhat?
Are you trying to tell me that you want the child now?â
âThatâs not what I meant.â
âWhat did you mean then? You know what, Devin? Things would be a lot easier if you could just be
straightforward with me. Why do you always have to beat around the bush? It makes you look like a
coward. Do you know that?â
The man was stunned at being called a coward.
âAfter your parents died, you couldâve just told me that you wanted to end our relationship. After all, my
brother was the reason why you lost both of your parents. You couldâve just told me that, and I wouldâve
understood why you needed to stay away from me. Donât make that mistake again. You donât have to
act like you care about my health. If you want me to deliver the baby, just say it. Iâm absolutely fine with
that,â stated Sabrina calmly with her arms folded.
At that moment, there was nothing but indifference on Sabrinaâs face. Even her condescending sneer
had disappeared. It was as if the whole thing did not concern her at all.
When Sabrina finished her sentence, Devinâs face was left without a hint of color.
Staring down blankly at the floor, the man looked as if he was utterly defeated.
Devin then started to wonder if what Sabrina said was true. Is the baby all I care about? No! I care
about both the baby and Sabrina!
Bit by bit, Sabrinaâs words had broken down Devinâs walls. After being called a coward and having his
facade torn down, the man was finally willing to reveal his true self.
With his hands shaking uncontrollably by his sides, Devin confessed, âThatâs not true. I want⦠I just
want you to be safe.â
âIs that so? Good. I was planning to get rid of the child. And after a few days of rest, Iâll be ready to
donate my bone marrow,â responded Sabrina with an icy-cold visage.
With that, Devin quickly lowered his head so that Sabrina would not see his welled-up eyes. After
clearing his throat, the man agreed with Sabrina. âAll right.â
Sabrina was a little taken aback by the unexpected response.
âI respect your decision, but you have to promise me that youâll take care of yourself after the abortion.
You canât put yourself in harmâs way ever again just because you hate me.â
In response to that, Sabrina chuckled with disbelief.
Does he mean to tell me that I would put myself in harmâs way because of him? How vain can this man
be? Why would I put myself in harmâs way for someone I donât care about?
âOh, Iâll take good care of myself. You donât have to worry about that. After the abortion, Iâll marry into
the Sheerwoods in no time. In case you forgot, I have a man who loves me with all his heart, and heâs
waiting for me.â
It took a whole minute before Devin could manage to get words out of his mouth. âI wish you all the
best.â
After that, the man turned around and quietly walked away.
Sabrina stared at Devinâs back until he was out of sight before she turned around and walked away.
Coincidentally enough, Sasha was heading in Sabrinaâs direction since the woman had been gone for a
while.
âSab!â called out Sasha when she finally saw Sabrina.
Suddenly, Sabrina broke down in the crowded hallway. She collapsed onto the floor with her face
covered and bawled like a child.
Although words could not describe what Sabrina was going through, Sasha knew what it felt like since
something similar had happened to her.
Back then, she could not be with Sebastian because of what happened to Xenia, so she chased the
man away at the airport. Sasha then broke down exactly the way Sabrina did.
It felt like her heart had been stabbed a million times over, but there was nothing she could do to stop
the pain.
Sasha then decided to give Sabrina some space, so she walked away and returned to the doctorâs
office.
âSo did you find them?â inquired Sebastian.
Sasha entered the room with a darkened expression. âIs there really no other way? Sab will lose her
child if she donates.â Instead of answering the manâs question, Sasha brought up a heart-breaking
question in the saddest tone.
