Fergus felt slightly disappointed. "All right, then! I respect your choice. Let's just be friends. If a dayes when you want to start a family with me, letknow." "Sure. I advise you to go and meet other women, though. You will definitely find a better partner out there," Shelly said. "I have a child, so most of my focus is going to be on my child. It's best that you marry a woman who hasn't given birth yet." "With that logic, are you going to look specifically for men who are divorced and have children of their own?" Fergus asked. "It's not the olden days anymore, and there are plenty of couples who live together without getting married so they are no different from married couples. Countless women have gone through abortions after moving in with their boyfriends, and, if you ask me, I think giving birth is a better option over abortion." Shelly was pleasantly stunned, as she had never imagined Fergus to be so open-minded.
"Fergus, let's not talk about this for now, and let things run their course!" Shelly's heart grew heavy.
"Sure." In the blink of an eye, April arrived.
One night, heavy rain suddenly began pouring.
Shelly woke up and checked if the windows were closed properly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs she returned to her bedside, she glanced at her daughter.
Audrey was almost six months old.
In the past half-year since her birth, the little one had been generally well-behaved, and Shelly's love for her daughter had grown deeper and deeper.
She reached out and gently touched Audrey's small face, but her fingers froze when she realized that Audrey's face was burning hot.
She turned on the bedside lamp and found her daughter's face flushed red.
She instantly realized that Audrey had a fever.
In the past six months, Audrey had never been sick.
When Shelly had returned hfrom work that evening, her daughter had been perfectly fine, so she was caughtpletely off guard.
Since Audrey had never been sick before, they did not have anymon children's medication at home.
Panicking, Shelly decided to take her daughter to the hospital.
However, it was raining heavily outside, and it was already two in the morning, so hailing a taxi would prove difficult.
She suddenly realized that, now that she had money, she should prioritize getting her driver's license aoritize buying a car. Otherwise, it would be difficult to bring her child anywhere. hovels She immediately took out her phone for help.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter flipping through her contacts, she found Fergus's number and dialed it.
She knew that Fergus had bought a car. There was one weekend when he had invited her to go barbecuing in the suburbs and offered to drive her.
At the time, she had declined because she had to take care of her children.
Besides the fact that Fergus had a car, his apartment was also nearby. With her child running a high fever, she could not afford to dally.
She dialed Fergus's number, and, soon enough, he picked up the call.
"Fergus, my child has a fever, and I need to take her to the hospital. It's raining heavily outside, so it's probably going to be difficult to find a cab. Can youe over?" Shelly anxiously pleaded. Fergus immediately got up and agreed, "Wait for me. I'll drive over right away." "Thank you" Shelly expressed her gratitude and immediately started packing her child's belonginartene including feeding bottles, formula, a thermos, wet wipes, and diapers.
hovels Since she did not know how long they would be at the hospital, Shelly also brought along a spare set of clothes.
