Chapter 295 Get Rid of the Child

Lydia was seething with hatred towards Meryl.

She thought, “If it weren’t for Meryl being kidnapped and dragging me into this, my child wouldn’t be so vulnerable.”

Just as the doctor left, Dalton suddenly said, “Lydia, you need to terminate the pregnancy.”

Lydia was stunned, hardly believing her ears. “What did you just say?”

“I’ll arrange for the best medical team to handle it, ensuring no harm comes to your body. On top of that, I’ll give you an additional 100 million dollars for your future—enough to live comfortably for the rest of your life.”

Dalton’s tone was eerily calm, as if he were discussing what was for dinner rather than deciding the fate of their child.

Seeing Lydia frozen in shock, Dalton raised his voice slightly. “Get rid of the child, and we’ll divorce.”

“I won’t agree to that!”

Tears welled up in Lydia’s eyes as she looked at him, her voice breaking. “Dalton, I won’t agree! I want to keep this baby; it’s a symbol of our love!”

Dalton smirked cynically, thinking, “Love? Is that what Lydia and I really have?”

Before he could respond, Charlotte walked in.

After all, the Aniston family was the wealthiest family around, so the kidnapping had been all over the news.

Though she didn’t have much affection for Lydia, she had received a text from Lydia early in the morning, revealing that Lydia was pregnant.

Charlotte’s gaze fell immediately on Lydia’s abdomen. “What’s the situation? Is the baby alright?”

Lydia clung to Charlotte as if she were a lifeline. “The baby’s fine, but Dalton wants me to get rid of it.”

Charlotte looked at Dalton in shock, unable to understand. “Dalton, this is your first child. Why would you want to terminate it?”

Lydia cried out, “Because Dalton wants a divorce! He’s planning to be with Meryl! She must have seduced him!”

At Lydia’s accusation, Dalton’s face turned cold, and he shot her a venomous look.

Lydia shrank back, knowing she was pushing him too far but feeling she had no other choice.

Charlotte’s face was a mask of disbelief. “Meryl is married to Chandler. Dalton, did she really seduce you?”

Dalton, slightly exasperated, replied, “No, Mom, don’t listen to her. My decision to divorce Lydia has nothing to do with Meryl.”

Lydia’s voice was trembling with desperation as she looked at Charlotte. “Charlotte, did you hear that? He called Meryl in an intimate tone! He’s so blinded by her that he’s willing to disregard our own child. Please convince Dalton to change his mind!”

Charlotte, realizing the gravity of the situation, said, “Meryl is beyond infuriating! How dare she, after marrying Chandler, come around and seduce you? Dalton, remember how Chandler kicked your father out of Galaxy Holdings? Don’t provoke him!”

Dalton had lost all patience with Lydia.

“Lydia! Have you had enough of this? Stop making a scene in front of my mother with your nonsense!”

He had tried to avoid escalating things before, but after this incident, Dalton was utterly disillusioned with Lydia.

He thought, “Meryl hasn’t done anything. Yet, Lydia blames her for everything. Did she always do this?”
