Chapter 493

Natalie said, "Skye, I'm rather tired. I'm going to take a nap. Do you need to go to work? You can head off now. Don't worry about me; I can handle this on my own."

Once Skylar confirmed Natalie was okay, she left. Jeremy called just as she was leaving.

"Skylar, how is Natalie doing?"

Skylar felt for Natalie. She wasn't courteous with Jeremy. She replied, "Anyone going through this would feel horrible, let alone Natalie. She trusted you with all her heart."

"Help me console her. I'll handle this," Jeremy insisted quietly. He'd repeated exactly what he'd said under Annabelle's house.

Skylar replied, "You've known Natalie since a young age. You should know her well. I hope you can respect her. I need to hurry to work now. I'm hanging up."

Jeremy sat in his office. Multiple cigarette butts lay in his ashtray. At moments like this, no one dared approach Jeremy. He'd called Skylar multiple times, all of which were rejected.

The company had encountered many crises under his leadership, yet he'd always successfully resolved them. This time, he would make it through. He would get things right.

At the hospital, Annabelle underwent several examinations. Afterward, she was told that an abortion wasn't advised, but it wasn't impossible. The chief surgeon was confident he could perform the operation without jeopardizing her health or affecting her future chances of getting pregnant. However, the doctor said, "You've been through multiple miscarriages. Your body isn't adapted for pregnancy. Even if I didn't perform the abortion, your fetus wouldn't survive past the five-month mark."

Annabelle's expression changed. She hadn't expected him to know. The doctor Jeremy hired could definitely be trusted and would be discreet. However, she knew Jeremy would find out about her miscarriages.

She bit her lip, then tearfully pleaded, "Can you keep my history of miscarriages a secret from Mr. Hughes? I'll have the operation." People were guarding her outside; escape was impossible. Furthermore, Jeremy and Natalie were about to divorce. She could make a rational decision, but she couldn't let Jeremy find out about her past.

The surgeon remained expressionless. He stated, "It's up to you."

Right, the doctor Jeremy had hired wouldn't obey herat this point, what else did she have to fear? To justify it

"Let me call Mr. Hughes," Annabelle requested.

The doctor recalled Jeremy's words and said, "It's a small operation that will be over soon. You can call him." Annabelle took a deep breath and caressed her abdomen.
