Chapter 190 "Nope, it's on the books. Letdouble-check the time," Fanny paused briefly, then a few seconds later informed me, "Eleven o'clock." I glanced at the clock. It was ten now.

"Did she mention why?" I pressed Fanny for more.

"Just said she changed her mind. Signed the paperwork alone. The baby's over three months along, so they'll have to induce," Fanny explained without skirting any details.

I've never been a mom, but my heart tightened at her words. "Hold off on anything final. I'll reach out to Conrad." "Are you sure you want to get mixed up in this?" Fanny asked.

I hesitated. "I just saw her yesterday, and now she's going through with this today. If I don't tell Conrad, who knows what he'll think. Besides..." This baby was Aiden's only legacy.

I ended the call with Fanny and dialed Conrad.

He didn't pick up initially. Considering my recent rejection, I thought he might never want to hear fromagain.

As I debated hanging up and trying from a different number, Conrad answered, his voice cold, "Yeah?" "Haley's having an abortion. At Fanny's clinic," I cut straight to the chase.

"What?" Conrad sounded genuinely shocked.

"Procedure's in an hour. You can still make it," I said before hanging up.

Even after informing Conrad, a sense of unrest lingered, so I drove to the hospital. As I parked, I caught Conrad rushing towards the maternity ward. He seemed frantic, afraid.

I hurried after him, but before I could reach the ward, Fanny appeared and grabbed me.

"Did you stop it?" I asked.

Fanny didn't answer; instead, she pulledaside. "You've got to hear this." Fanny ledto a secluded stairwell where we overheard Haley and Conrad's heated exchange.

"Why would you end this pregnancy? It's Aiden's only legacy. Who said you could do that?" Conrad's voice was a low growl.

"Why do you think I'm doing this? I want to be with you," Haley's voice was uncharacteristically direct.

Conrad fell silent, then Haley softened her tone, "Rad, you know your family will never accept this baby, nor will Aiden's parents. If that's the case, why should keep it? "But without this baby, Aiden truly is gone," Conrad's voice trembled.

"If I keep it, can we really be together?" Haley asked, her voice low.

At that moment, I understood how selfish human desires could be.

"Even if you kept it, would we end up together?" Conrad countered.

Through a crack in the doorway, I saw Haley reach for Conrad's sleeve, but he stepped back. "Haley, you know who I really want." "But you and Felicia are over," Haley's voice wavered, on the verge of tears.

"Even if Felicia and I are done, it doesn't mean there's anything for us," e.

Conrad's words visibly shook Haley.

Her lips quivered, "If you don't want me, then what am I supposed to do?" "Haley, I've said I'd make it up to you, except..." Conrad was cut off by Haley.

She shook her head, her voice filled with pain, "What about a man? I need someone to love me, someone to keepwarm in the you givethat?" Conrad's face stiffened, and he fell silent.

"Conrad, if it wasn't for your kiss, Aiden wouldn't have driven off and gotten into that accident. Now, both baby and Y are alone. You've destroyed my happiness, you owethat much," Haley's revelation stunned me.

So, Conrad was responsible for Aiden's death. That was why he felt e obligated to take care of Haley. Ashburn X
