While speaking, she glanced at the ward. “Don't worry, Dad. I won't let you go to jail. If he

wants me to get rid of the child, I'll do that.”

“Are you out of your mind, Joyce?” Caitlin asked in shock.

Joyce smiled and shook her head. “I'm not, Mom. I know exactly what I'm talking about.”

“Then why would you be okay with aborting the child?” The older woman furrowed her

brows.

Joyce turned to her father. “Mom, Dad, trust me on this. I'm not out of my mind or being

rash. I've thought a great deal about it on the way here. Everything we're going through

now is happening all because I insisted on keeping the child. I've caused us so much

trouble, including the possibility that you'll have to go to jail. There's no way I can accept

that. Besides, I care way more about you than the child inside me that hasn't even grown

any limbs yet. So if I had to choose between you and the baby, of course, I'd choose you,

Dad.”

Even if it'll hurt so much when my memories come back and I realize I've lost my child, I

know I'll come to terms with it if it means keeping Dad out of jail.

Both Jonathan and Caitlin knew how much the child inside Joyce's womb meant to her.

From the start, Joyce had thought of taking her own life, hoping that doing so would quell

Stanley's grudge against her family.

Yet, she changed her mind upon learning that she was pregnant, which meant she had

decided to live solely for the child's sake.

The woman was even willing to run far from home to make sure Stanley didn't come after

the child, not to mention undergoing hypnosis to forget her feelings for the man.

To her, this child was her life.

However, she was now willing to give it up for her mother's and father's sake.

“Joyce...” Heartbroken, Caitlin pulled her daughter into an embrace. “Don't worry. Your

father will be just fine. I won't let you sacrifice yourself.”

“Your mother's right,” Jonathan chimed in with a sigh. “I won't let that happen either.

We're your parents, so we'll pay the price for whatever happens. There's no way we could

ever let you bear the burden, so don't even think about it. Do you hear me?”

Joyce lowered her head and kept mum.

Seeing that made Jonathan helpless. He knew she had no intention of listening to him.

Even so, he understood why. If he were to put himself in her shoes, he would've been left

with no other choice either.

She wouldn't choose her unborn child over her father, right?

He knew how filial his daughter was. The young woman would loathe herself if she really

were to forsake her father because of the child.

That was why she could only choose her father over her child.

Otherwise, she would forever be condemned by everyone.

Of course, making this choice meant she would lose her child, and the pain was hers to

bear alone.

Jonathan didn't want her to have to resort to this, and he certainly didn't want his

daughter to give up her child just to save him.

I'm old, anyway. It doesn't matter if I die or go to jail at this point.

In any case, he wasn't going to let any member of his family sacrifice themselves for him.

If worst comes to worst and I die, I'll take Stanley down with me. That's the only way my

family can live in peace.

After that, the three of them no longer engaged in conversation. Instead, they remained

quietly seated on the bench, waiting for Stanley to wake up.

Yet, by nightfall, the latter still showed no signs of waking up. According to the doctor, he

had a mild concussion and might only regain consciousness two days later.

Left with no other option, Jonathan could only hire a caretaker and go home with his

family.

He then contacted Natalie, hoping to have her send someone over to take Caitlin and

Joyce away.
