Percy sprawled across the bed, his cheeks red.
In his arms lay my wife.
So many years went by, yet Percy remained too arrogant.
It was easy to see how much Eulalie had spoiled him.
But it did not matter anymore.
After I leave, they could be together openly.
What I must handle now was the burden on her belly.
I ignored the teasing couple and walked into the surgery room.
Doctor Eric already knew about Eulalie’s pregnancy.
Before he could even say his good wishes, I passed him the paper in my hand.
“Please help me deal with this baby.”
Doctor Eric stood still for a short moment.
After reading my reports, his face turned much heavier.
“Mr. Kennedy, have you really thought about this clearly?”
“The baby seems very healthy, and you and your wife have waited many years to get pregnant. It was not easy to finally have a child…”
Eulalie’s first miscarriage happened when she was twenty years old.
At that time, we had just moved to Louisiana, and we were just poor.
Every day, we could only crowd into old, cheap rooms just to survive.
She felt I was too poor and could not give her the life she wanted, so she ended the pregnancy and wanted to separate from me.
