Yale's hands balled into fists before he slammed the table.

His expression was grim. "Just who is that evil person? How could he poison such a young child?"

"It might have something to do with her true family. She's lucky. If she was fed for another year and a half, she'd be gone by now."

"She was always ill when we first adopted her. She was sent to the ICU several times. She was like a fragile doll.” Those memories were painful for him to reminisce. "But she's a good girl. She never complains.”

Right then, he suddenly questioned why he was telling her all this. He almost exposed himself.

Fortunately for him, Olivia didn't think much about it.

All her focus was on Molly. "You're a good brother, though.”

He switched the topic. "If it is as you said, could you remove the poison?"

She shook her head. "Her metabolism has broken down the poison. It's like water dripping on a rock. Making a dent out of it can happen— though it's time-consuming—but even if you stop the water from dripping, the dent will still be there."

“I'm afraid we'll have to recount the situation to your family. To save her, you cannot keep the baby. As you know, a diet is important for a pregnant woman. There are a lot of medicines that they can't take. There's a high chance the baby will be born disabled. It's better to abort it sooner..."

His heart wrenched at that. He was happier than anyone when he learned the news of her pregnancy.

"The doctor said that it is difficult for her to get pregnant. If she aborts the baby, she might not be able to conceive another one in the future.” “That is true based on her current condition. As I said, that baby shouldn't have existed in the first place. Her body is weak. She took medications she shouldn't have to get pregnant. Consequently, her body is deteriorating.

“You might not be able to see it now because you take good care of her, and the baby is still little. It doesn't need that much nutrients for now. But when the time comes, it'll be tough for her to sustain even herself."

She sighed. "If you don't do something about it, there are only two outcomes. It's either a miscarriage or—"

Yale clenched his fists. She noticed that his palms were red.

“Is this not a lie, Ms. Fordham?" His eyes were slightly red.

Olivia was rendered speechless. "Why should I do this to a pregnant woman with a weak body? I told you, I see my past self in her. I was in the late stage of cancer a few years ago, and I was pregnant. There was a risk of losing both myself and the baby. We're women, so I simply wanted to help her."

"What about you? How did you make a choice?"

A helpless smile hung on her face. "The people around me acted the same as I am right now. They told me to opt for an abortion and that I could get pregnant in the future. But I couldn't bring myself to do that. I took the risk and kept the baby.”

"Can Molly—"

"No. The treatment was hell. I paid the price by taking all sorts of medicines. Although there's no big issue with the kid, she can't speak until today. And her eyes were different from others. Gamble with a person's life? You might ruin his whole life.

"And what if he turns into a monster? On top of that, there's an important fact to consider—I was healthy. I was just sick. But Molly is weak and easily broken."

She sighed. "Just tell me who the father is. I have to discuss this with the baby's parents. I'm a doctor. I can't make decisions for them."
