Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella)
Chapter 231

Chapter 231 I'm Here For You

Bella looked at Dominic through the car window as tears began to stream down uncontrollably.

She was telling him the truth, and she wasn't really lying or tricking. However, compared to a healthy and an unhealthy baby, she had a higher chance of conceiving a healthy baby. She chose not to tell him about that as she did not want to take that risk. She also wanted to lessen her own sense of guilt.

After a while, she opened the car door and got down. She hugged him from behind and said, "This child didn't come at the right time, but there'll be more chances for us to have a child in the future."

He held her arm that was wrapped around his waist and made his decision. "I'll accompany you to the hospital tomorrow for the procedure."

Bella had gotten what she wanted, but seeing how much pain he was in made her feel like she was in agony.

She felt like a villain for killing their child. Wasn't he doing this for revenge? Why couldn't she seem to understand him anymore?

Bella ended up sleeping in her room that night,

The two of them did not do anything. He just held onto her, placing his hand on her belly while they slept. It was almost as if he was trying to feel the life within her that wasn't even fully formed yet. She ended up crying countless times throughout the night.

Early the next day, she woke up to the sight of him reading her pregnancy report. She hadn't thrown the report away, and perhaps he wanted to see a glimpse of what the baby looked like...

Seeing the scene before her, Bella's eyes turned red once again, but she did not dare to make a sound.

There was a reason why she had taken the initiative to tell him the truth. She got shot because of him, so it was inevitable that he would feel some sense of guilt

So if that was the reason why she couldn't keep the child, there was a high chance he would agree to abort it. That was why she had dared to admit her pregnancy to him.

With the way things had turned out, she had made the right move.

After a long time, he placed the report down

He turned around and patted her head after noticing that she was awake. There was a lifeless look in his eyes, and his voice was hoarse as he said, "I'll bring you to the hospital now since you're awake."

At that moment, Bella regretted it. She wanted to ke

keep the child, but she knew she

she couldn't

On the way to the hospital, both of them remained silent. Dominic drove with one hand on the steering wheel and held her hand with the other.

He never once let go until they arrived at the hospital.

Seeing his hand shake while he signed the abortion agreement papers, Bella had to look away. She had never seen him like this before. As someone who had experienced all kinds of storms and hurdles, when had his hands ever shaken like that? Before entering the operating room, Bella couldn't hold it in anymore. She threw herself into his arms and cried. She couldn't even say a word as a sharp pain began to spread throughout her heart

She felt like there was a poisoned knife in her heart, cutting her apart piece by piece.

He reached out to hold her tightly in his arms. "It's alright. I'm here for you..."

In the end, Bella went in. She went into the operating

room that would end the lite growing inside of her

It wasn't a major surgery, so her life wasn't in any danger. As the anesthetic began to flow into her veins, she quickly lost consciousness.

She woke up in less than half an hour. The second she woke up, she knew that it had ended. The ch while she was asleep, soaking up her entire pillow.

inside her was gone. Her tears came down even

Dominic accompanied her throughout the process, and she still had to finish an IV drip. Once that was done, he quietly took her home.

It did not take him long to agree to bring her to complete the abortion procedure: However, they would have to carry the burden of their actions for God knew how long After settling her down, Dominic went to the company.

Della lay on the bed and sent Lia a message. The baby has been aborted."

She couldn't think of anyone else other than Lia to confide in. She hadn't had the chance to feel the life growing inside of her before she had to make the decision to abort it.
