Teresa glared at Miriam and thought, ‘What did she tell Michael?‘
Miriam shouted in protest, claiming she really had no idea why Michael would say such a thing.
Michael looked up with tear–filled eyes. “I heard what you said to Miriam! You said you. don’t want me anymore. We’ve relied on each other for so long. How can you bear to leave me?”
Teresa had never said she did not want him. After thinking for a moment, Miriam reminded her, and she remembered. It must have been the day Jonathan left Miriam’s house, and they had too much to drink.
When one was drunk, one might say nonsense things.
“I’m at fault too,” Miriam admitted. “I called you a few days ago about the company’s financial issues. Michael might have overheard and thought we were going bankrupt. Tears welled up in Teresa’s eyes as she knelt and held Michael’s tiny hand. “I’ll never leave you unless you decide you don’t want me anymore.”
Michael shook his little head. “Even though you make me plain gruel every day, I still love you the most.”

Teresa continued, “I love you the most, too. Let’s never leave each other, okay?”
“Okay!” Michael broke into a smile and even lovingly wiped Teresa’s tears away.
Miriam, lacking a sense of affection, interrupted the moment and shook Teresa’s arm. What excuse should I use to meet Edward next time?”
Teresa was at a loss for words. “I don’t care what reason you use. Just don’t involve Michael. Is he really that great? Weren’t you determined not to like him anymore?”
Miriam dangled the bracelet on her wrist. “But he kept my bracelet safe, which means he’s really thoughtful and trustworthy.”
Teresa thought, ‘Oh my. What a hopeless romantic. She’s helpless.‘ Thanks to the investment, she was in a good mood, so she decided not to argue with Miriam.
The next day, Cheryl contacted Teresa. She was mentally prepared as Donald was not in Nareigh, and Jonathan was also away.
Teresa had resolved the company’s issues and had some free time, so she decided to skip work in the morning to accompany Cheryl to the hospital for the abortion.
Cheryl had not reached the hospital yet. But she could not stop crying while Teresa was holding her hand and reasst successfully unlocked! aid. “Teresa, I’m still a bit
reluctant about this child. It’s a lite unei aii.
Teresa asked, “So, do you want the abortion or not? Haven’t you been thinking about it for two weeks now? How come you still haven’t decided?”

Cheryl shook her head, tears clinging to her eyelashes. “I’ve made up my mind.”
She took Teresa’s advice to get an abortion before the baby reached two months. Otherwise, it would become more difficult as it grew.
However, Cheryl was still crying loudly, drawing everyone’s attention and making it seem like Teresa was forcing her to have the abortion.
Teresa reluctantly scheduled a gynecology appointment for Cheryl to get a check–up. “Come on in.” The female doctor in a white coat had her hair tied back in a neat ponytail and was wearing thin gold–rimmed glasses that gave her a rather cool vibe. Cheryl was too scared to go in alone, so she had Teresa go with her.
The doctor asked, “Who’s having the abortion?”
“She is.” Teresa placed her hand on Cheryl’s shoulder. “She needs one.”
The doctor was looking down and writing something, then she looked up, her eyes resting on Teresa’s face, pausing for a moment.
Teresa called out, “Doctor? Doctor?”
The doctor returned to her senses and said, “Oh. First, let’s do a check–up.” She handed the form to Teresa.
“What?” Cheryl bit her lip. “Doctor, I’m so young. I don’t want to experience menopause already.”
“Who’s the father of the child? Is he insisting on the abortion?” Jennifer asked again.
Cheryl immediately fell silent, lowered her head, and fidgeted with her fingers.
Teresa asked, “Isn’t there a way to make it painless? The side effects are so severe. She’s not ready yet to have a baby.”
“You are not married yet, right?” Jennifer sighed. “Many young girls these days get pregnant before being married, but if you insist on having an abortion, it might be harder to have children in the future. You should be prepared for that.”
Cheryl held Teresa’s hand. “Teresa, I’m not getting an abortion. I want this baby. I don’t want to risk not being a mom in the future.”
Teresa asked, “Are you sure? You have to be ready to face the consequences.”
Cheryl nodded. “I’m sure I’m not going through with the abortion. I could be a single mom like you!”
“What?” Jennifer was surprised. Her eyes flickered as she looked at Teresa. “You’re a single mom?”
There was some pity and surprise in Jennifer’s eyes, making Teresa feel a little embarrassed.
Teresa said, “Sorry to trouble you. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take her and leave now. She’s not getting the abortion. We’ll discuss it again at home.”
“Sure. Talk it over some more. There is no rush.” Jennifer put down her pen, and after Teresa left, she opened the blinds and took another look at her retreating figure.
She wondered, “How did she end up being a single mom? But is it really her? Teresa? Or maybe she just looks similar.
