Chapter 71
For months, Julian Brabra has been giving Anna a close marking. He already knew she was cheating but hadn’t gotten enough evidence to prove it.
He keeps playing along with her and feels uncomfortable having an affair with her. He prefers to spend more of his time outdoors than to be home with Anna.
On this fateful evening, Julian Brabra was not back from work and Anna came back home from her usual appointment with Tate Owen.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
But unlike before, when she comes home from Tate Owen’s house or hotel room, that day she leaves his place to the hospital. She sank into the sofa without remembering to pull off her sandals and put on slippers before stepping into the sitting room.
She sighed tiredly and bit her lower lip. Her fears had become a reality again. She had been feeling unwell recently and thought it was stress induced.
But when she woke up that morning and felt nausea, only then did she realize she might be pregnant. She checked the date and realized she’s two weeks late. She panicked but decided to go to the hospital for a test.
Tate Owen had called her to meet him at their usual place and she dares not to come or be there late. She’d tried to give him an excuse that she’s not feeling well but Tate Owen hung up. She went and from there visited the hospital.
The result revealed she was six weeks gone. What was she going to do now? Julian Brabra hadn’t touched her for over two months and she was even afraid he had started suspecting her.
He’s definitely not the father of the baby inside her belly. He mustn’t know that she was pregnant otherwise, her secret would become an open scandal.
She had to abort the baby. There are no other options to it. She would not give Tate Owen a chance to torture her more. If Max wasn’t Tate Owen’s son, and if she wasn’t trying to cover it up before Julian Brabra she wouldn’t have ended up an adulteress.
Tate Owen doesn’t have to know that she was pregnant. He would blow off her cover and insist she keep the baby. Max was going to be the only child that Tate Owen has from her.
No other one should be born by her for him again. She concluded and picked her phone to keep an appointment with a doctor in a private clinic. She dares not allow her family doctor to be aware of it. For fear of seeking Julian Brabra’s consent for the abortion.
Unknown to Anna, Tate Owen had gotten a copy of her test result. She’s so foolish to have gone to the city hospital for a pregnancy test.
City hospital was her family hospital and that was where Max was born. Doctor Felix, Tate Owen’s cousin was on his way out from the hospital when he saw Anna driving in.
He drove off and called Tate Owen to tell him that he saw his baby mama a while ago and she looked more beautiful than the last time he saw her.
When Tate Owen heard his cousin’s compliment about Anna he squinted and asked him if she came to the hospital? The latter gave him an affirmative answer.
Tate Owen felt uneasy and hung up without saying goodbye. He felt something fishy about Anna’s movement. Why would she leave his place and head straight to the hospital? He remembered her telling him earlier today that she wasn’t feeling well. Was she really ill, or could it be what he’s suspecting?
Without waiting another minute, Tate Owen took his car keys and drove to the hospital. When he got to the parking lot, he saw Anna’s car and decided to park his car a little farther than hers.
When he got in, he didn’t see Anna in the waiting room and asked the receptionist if she could tell him where Mrs Anna Brabra was saying he was her good friend and she had called him over. Without a hint of suspicion, the receptionist told him she was in the laboratory department for a test.
Tate Owen nodded, and smiled broadly at the receptionist before saying “Thank you”. He pretended to be waiting for her since he would not be allowed into the laboratory.
But he soon sneaked out and went to wait in his car. After a while, Anna came out and went into her car. She didn’t suspect anyone would trailed her down to the hospital. She soon drove off.
