Chapter 3

I don't know what happened after that. I lost my consciousness. I had no idea who picked me up and took me to the hospital. I was unconscious all this time. However, sometimes I would open my eyes and could feel what was going around me.

There was a time when I opened my eyes and listened to Christian's conversation with the Doctor.

"Are you sure, Mr. Walton? You really want to do this?" The doctor asked.

"Yes, I'm sure, Doctor. I don't want the baby inside her." Christian said in an indifferent voice.

"It's too risky, Mr. Walton. If we force it, she might not be able to become a mother in future. Are you willing to let her sacrifice the biggest happiness of a woman's life?" Doctor asked. Christian seemed irritated while replying," Why are you continuing to mention the risks to me I'm already aware of? Don't forget my company develops all kinds of medical instruments. I know everything. I just don't want the kid inside her. If I wish to have a child, I can have it with any woman but not by her. So, take it out immediately."

They were killing my child. I couldn't listen to their conversation anymore and fell unconscious in remorse.

***

I was an orphan, adopted by Miss Georgia. She was a divorced woman and had no intention of marrying again. She had raised me with great difficulties. When I turned eighteen, she fell sick. To pay her medical fees and take care of us, I had to seek jobs at a very young age. I started working as a caregiver. I was soon hired by Mrs. Rosaline Walton, Christian's grandmother. She was a very kind woman and liked me very much. She would share her thoughts with me. She remained worried about her grandson's marriage. She would often tell me that she wanted her grandson to marry a girl like me. But, Christian already had eyes for someone. That woman was Izzy Watson.

Mrs. Rosaline didn't like Izzy. For this reason, she would often have arguments with Christian. He was determined to marry her.

One day, Mrs. Rosaline's condition got worst yet she was refusing to take medicine. Everyone tried their best to persuade her but she refused to take medicine. Her only condition was to see her grandson getting married. She was very stubborn and made her point loud and clear that she would not take medicine until she saw her granddaughter-in-law. However, Christian was also stubborn. He said he would marry only one girl in his life and that girl would be Izzy Watson. In the end, Mrs. Rosaline gave up and agreed to his wish.

In the midst of the night, Christian went to propose marriage to Izzy. But, she refused. She had received an offer from abroad. She was going to become a movie star in a foreign country. She couldn't marry for two years according to the contract she had already signed.

Christian returned home empty handed. He knocked at the door of Miss Rosaline's room. I opened the door and he called me out. Our eyes met for a second and I immediately moved my eyes away to avoid eye contact with him. It was the first time when I saw Christian from such a close distance. His aura was calm and demeanoring. I had never believed in love at first sight until today.

" You are Laura Green, right?" He asked in a deep male voice.

"Yes, Sir." I replied hesitantly, trying to hide my emotional imbalance caused by his sudden call.

"Grandma talks about you a lot. She really likes you, doesn't she?"

"She is a very kind woman. She likes everybody. She makes me feel so good with her presence that it feels like she is my family." I said with a genuine smile.

"Now she would really be." He said before adding in a commanding voice, "From now on, the Walton family belongs to you, including me as your husband, Laura Walton."

"I'm sorry, what?" I chuckled.

"We are getting married tomorrow!”
