Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After….
Chapter 670 Rachel Was Pregnant
That afternoon, Meryl and Anne met at a cozy café for some coffee and a good chat.
Meryl’s eyes widened in surprise when Anne mentioned Max. “Moving to Havenbrook?”
“What about Bella? She’s still so young, and Havenbrook is way too far from Kingsdom.”
It was true. The two places were worlds apart.
If Anne actually went, she’d essentially be starting over.
“Exactly. Nothing is set in stone yet, and…”

Everyone has their comfort zone, and for Anne, Kingsdom was undoubtedly hers.
Yet, Meryl couldn’t shake the feeling that Max’s intentions in wanting to pull Anne to Havenbrook might be more than just professional.
Meryl thought, “Kingsdom is Dante’s territory. No matter how Anne tries to avoid him, she can’t escape. But in Havenbrook, it’s a whole new ball game. She’d be a stranger there, which means she’d likely end up getting closer to Max. Does he actually have feelings for her?”
Meryl pondered this for a few seconds, then said, “Anne, I really think Max likes you. He’s trying to get close.”
“Pfft…” Anne nearly choked on her coffee, spraying it everywhere.
She quickly grabbed a napkin to wipe her mouth.
“Are you kidding me? Max? The big shot at Starlight Entertainment would be interested in someone like me–a divorced woman with a kid? That sounds like something out of a bad romance novel! There are plenty of stunning women in his circle. He must have bumped his head if he thinks I’m appealing!”
Meryl shook her head, unconvinced. “Don’t sell yourself short! You’re just as beautiful as any of them. Plus, you two go way back. Who knows? He might have had a crush on you since school.”

Meryl leaned forward, resting her chin on her hands, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
“This could be such a pure thing! You’re all heartbroken over Dante, and Max quietly steps back to let you go. Now he’s back in Kingsdom, wanting to reclaim his rose. If that’s the case, Max is a real catch! I’m totally shipping you two.”
Anne rolled her eyes, feeling Meryl was getting a bit carried away.
She thought, “I think Max is just trying to help an old classmate who’s feeling lost in her career. Nothing more.”
She playfully tapped Meryl on the head. “You must be letting those pregnancy hormones get to your head! You’re daydreaming way too much.”

Meryl laughed. “Just wait and see. He will always show his intentions eventually.”
Anne shook her head in exasperation, then remembered something. “By the way, have you heard from Rachel?”
“Not yet. It’s strange, isn’t it? How does a grown woman just vanish like that?”
It had been over two weeks since Rachel had gone off the grid.
But since she stopped causing trouble, Meryl’s life had become a lot more peaceful.
Meryl gently rubbed her belly. “I can definitely feel the baby getting bigger. This little one seems to be getting lazier. The kicks have lessened.”

Anne’s expression turned serious. “Less movement? Have you been to the hospital to get checked?”
Meryl shook her head, brushing it off.
“Seriously? You can’t be so careless! What if the baby’s not getting enough oxygen? Let’s go to the hospital and get you checked out.”
Anne was a woman of action. Without hesitation, she grabbed her keys and drove Meryl straight to the hospital.
Meryl didn’t seem too worried, but Anne wasn’t taking any chances.
Meryl had a bit of medical knowledge, so she felt somewhat reassured. It seemed like the baby was just being lazy, probably due to the cold weather.

She had been keeping up with her prenatal check–ups, and everything was looking good, though the baby was a bit on the smaller side.
After a thorough examination at the hospital, Meryl’s suspicions were confirmed—the baby was simply a little lethargic.
Knowing Meryl was in her third trimester, Anne suggested she sit in the waiting area while she took care of the payment.
But when Anne returned from the payment line, she was startled to find Meryl missing from the bench.
Panic set in as Anne quickly grabbed her phone and dialed Meryl’s number, only to be met with the dreaded message that her phone was turned off.

Anne’s heart raced.
“Meryl wouldn’t just leave the hospital without telling me. What if something happened?”
Frantically, she began searching the hospital, her mind racing with worry.
When Meryl unexpectedly ran into Rachel, she thought she must be seeing things.
“What is Rachel doing coming out of the maternity ward?”
At first, the distance and the crowd made her doubt her eyes, but as she got closer, it became clear–there was no mistaking it.

But Meryl knew Rachel too well. Even in disguise, she could spot Rachel from a mile away.
In Rachel’s hand was a piece of paper. Meryl watched as she hesitated in the hallway, then suddenly tore the paper into shreds and tossed it into the trash can.
It was as if she had made a decision and was now headed back into the doctor’s office.
Rachel felt like everything was happening in a dream.
She thought, “How can I be pregnant?”

Her to visit the hospital for a check–up, and the doctor had confirmed it–she was expecting.
She had been staying in a villa owned by Christopher, but they’d only been intimate once, and that was in the car.
The realization that she was pregnant from that encounter was overwhelming.
Rachel was filled with dread at the thought of seeing Christopher again, let alone carrying his child.
And to make matters worse, she was still engaged to Felix.
No matter how she looked at it, this baby shouldn’t exist.
It took only a few minutes for Rachel to

make up her mind.
She returned to the doctor’s office with determination. “Doctor, I don’t want this baby. Please arrange for the procedure.”
The doctor glanced at her file on the computer. “You’re still early in your pregnancy. If you’re certain you want to terminate, medication will suffice—no need for surgery.”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Rachel replied, “Fine. Just give me the prescription.”
The doctor moved quickly, printing out the prescription within minutes.
Rachel took the slip, gripping it tightly in her hand.

She planned to take the medication today to avoid any complications later.
Lost in her own thoughts, Rachel didn’t notice Meryl watching her from a distance.
After picking up the medication, Rachel bought a bottle of water from a vending machine and headed to a quiet corner of the hospital, preparing to swallow the pills.
“Rachel, what are you taking? Why did you just come from the maternity ward?” Meryl’s voice cut through the air.
Startled, Rachel jumped, the pills slipping from her fingers and scattering across the floor.
She turned to see Meryl staring at her.
