The leak in the house coincided with the continuous night rain, which was Jolene’s current situation.
She sat down at the doctor’s desk with her head down and recalled it carefully.
Maybe there was a time when Bowen came over in the middle of the night, and there happened to be no condom at home and emergency contraception.
Initially, she was going to buy medicine the next day, but she was so busy that day that she forgot about it.
Unexpectedly, it was a hit.
A few days ago, she watched abusive videos, eight out of ten were the heroine who found out she was pregnant after breaking up with her boyfriend.
She would be even worse, and she wasn’t even Bowen’s girlfriend. She couldn’t be on the stage.
Now even the old–fashioned eight o’clock TV series were not performed like this.
“Would the child stay?” The doctor’s words interrupted Jolene’s thoughts.
She raised her head and looked at the young female doctor in confusion.
To stay or not to stay, that was the question.
If she kept this child, how should she raise it?

She definitely couldn’t tell Bowen that he would marry Viona soon.
No matter how shameless she was, she would never be able to tie up Bowen with the child.
Besides, it might not hold up at all.
If she didn’t tell Bowen she was born and raised by herself?
She was in a mess now. Her mother needed her to take care of, Frank also had, and even that gambler also needed her. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Jolene had always acted decisively and rarely hesitated.
She hesitated briefly, “I’ll think about it again.”
“It was recommended to perform artificial abortion within 50 days of the fetus, which would cause the least harm to the body.” The voice of the young female doctor was icy.
Jolene nodded. After thanking the doctor and leaving the doctor’s office with the checklist.
She left the hospital top–heavy and wandered the road for a long time.
Jolene thought this was probably the low point of her life.
Unemployed, in debt, and pregnant.
She needed to support older adults in her family and, now…a

child in her stomach.
Where she should go, just like this crossroads, Jolene stood on the zebra crossing, suddenly lost her direction, unable to distinguish between east and west.
The finance company called and asked her to pay off the first instalment of the debt.
The three million instalments would be paid off within half a month.
She went to the finance company to repay the first instalment and had very little money left.
The next issue was five days later. Where should Jolene find another million?
Jolene walked out of the finance company, and her pockets were almost cleaner than her face.
Flora sent her a message, saying that some people in their secretary’s office wanted to hold a farewell party for her, and asked if she was free tonight.
It was rare for people to leave without tea cooling.
Jolene felt her heart warm up.
After all, she was dismissed by Bowen, and the reason was not pleasant, but they did not avoid suspicion and invited her to dinner. This was friendship.
She replied with one word, “Okay.”
Then Flora sent the address.

She went home to tidy up and was ready to change clothes and go out.
A jewellery box appeared when she was packing the things she had brought back from the company.
She opened it, and inside was a set of expensive jewellery.
Bowen had just given it a few days ago, and she didn’t know if it was a parting gift.
She stroked those bright gems lightly. It would cost around a million if she found a reliable pawn shop.
She remembered that Flora’s brother seemed to run a pawn shop which was quite formal.
After thinking about it, she stuffed the jewellery box into her bag.
Bowen had given her much jewellery, but she kept almost none and sold them all when she was short of money.
It was okay to sell them, but she didn’t want to miss them.
She left some money for Frank and asked him to buy something to eat by himself at night.
He didn’t want it, saying he still had money on him.
Frank was sensible. Jolene thought she could hold her teeth for another two years and make it through after Frank graduated university.
