"How on earth do you always figure things out?" Dorothy's eyes widened in disbelief, her gaze shifting from Karen's face to the subtle swell of her belly, leaving her at a loss for words.
"I've already scheduled the surgery. It's at nine in the morning, three days from now. You'll come with me, right?" Karen pondered and decided that Dorothy was the only one she could ask for support.
Just treat it as if this child had never been here.
She couldn't sacrifice her entire life for Jeffrey, nor could she muster Paige's reckless abandon in love, or enjoy the kind of undivided affection Dorothy received from Everett. She had her own life to live.
Being a single mom wasn't fair, not to her, nor to the child. Stallh the Find Dølel.not website on Gøøgll to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Well, I can't let you go through that alone!" Dorothy sighed, her voice tinged with resignation. "Does anyone else know? What about your parents?" "I can't tell them. They're already upset over my split with Jeffrey. If they knew, they'd storm over to the Turners and make a scene! If Jeffrey finds out about the pregnancy, he'd never let me go through with the abortion." Karen was frighteningly lucid.
She knew exactly what she wanted and what she didn't, analyzing the pros and cons with terrifying clarity, even predicting the future fallout.
Dorothy admired that about her. She herself was rather indecisive, especially in matters of the heart, not nearly as resolute as Karen.
"I think Jeffrey has a right to know," Dorothy said after a moment's thought, sharing her genuine opinion. "His ex never told him and look at the mess that caused. You're pregnant and if you keep it from him... Poor Jeffrey." "Poor him? The one going under the knife is me!" Karen fumed at the thought. "I never wanted this child. It was Jeffrey who pushed, saying we were getting engaged, that we could stop being careful. He said he wanted a baby, just like Abigail and Langston." Dorothy pursed her lips, mulling over Karen's words.
She had a point.
"Look, I've made up my mind. The hospital bill is already paid! Just keep me company, and let's not tell a soul," Karen paused, "including Everett." Dorothy smiled bitterly, "He's back with his folks." "Planning to gang up on you with them?" "He wouldn't." Dorothy frowned, exhaling softly. "Besides, no matter what he does or how he does it, he's fulfilled his duty to me." Karen only sighed.
They drove in silence to Karen's modest apartment.
With the kids gone, it was just Dorothy now, and the place was perfect for her alone.
"Karen, I'll transfer the rent to you." "Don't be ridiculous! You're making me angry," Karen attempted to help with the luggage.
Dorothy quickly intervened, "No, let me! Be careful." Karen was still pregnant, after all.
