Help! My Mother-in-law Asked Me to Abort the Baby!
Chapter 2
I returned home with questions.
Before I entered the room, I heard laughter coming from inside.
Sure enough.
My parents-in-law were back.
If I was not mistaken, they were back to share the joy of pregnancy, weren't they?
Sure enough, as soon as I pushed the door open and entered the room, Chaz immediately ran over to welcome me happily.
"Honey, why are you back so late?"
"Come here, Mom and Dad are back. They have good news for you."
Looking at his happy face, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my heart.
Could it be that he knew from the beginning that his parents borrowed money to make tube babies?
If that was the case...
I felt as if I had fallen into an ice cave.
The thing I couldn't stand the most was deception.
If that was the case, I would not spare him.
But...
Something even more shocking than deception was waiting for me.
He took my hand, took me to the living room, and brought me to my parents-in-law.
"Honey, I have good news for you. Mom is pregnant. I'm going to be an elder brother, and you're going to be a sister-in-law!"
He was so happy as an elder brother. How excited would he be if he was told that he was going to be a father?
I fantasized about the surprise after telling him the truth.
I smiled at him and his parents. "Today is the day of double happiness."
"Let me tell you a piece of good news, too. I'm also pregnant."
"What?" My parents-in-law stood up from the sofa.
There was no surprise or joy. Instead, there was shock and dissatisfaction on their faces.
Their reactions puzzled me.
I was pregnant, and they were gonna be grandparents. Shouldn't they be happy about that?
Lester roared angrily, "Are you pregnant? Then, who will take care of your mother and her recovery?"
My expression froze and my eyes were filled with horror. For a moment, I suspected that something was wrong with my ears.
Were they asking me to take care of Sarah and her recovery from the delivery?
In the face of such a shocking request, I widened my eyes and looked at Chaz.
He seemed to be frightened by his father's bold words.
He grabbed my hand in a hurry and pacified me. "That's not what Dad meant."
"Zoey, your father is a rough man and doesn't know how to speak properly." Sarah quickly chimed in.
"Does your father mean that I won't be able to take care of you after I get pregnant?"
"Yes, that's what I mean!" Lester smiled and explained.
My heart, which was filled with anger, trembled.
If that was the only reason, there was nothing to worry about.
After all, I had never thought of asking my Sarah to take care of me.
As long as I was willing to spend money, it would be a piece of cake to hire a caregiver.
However, Chaz's family didn't think so.
They wanted me to abort the child and let Sarah deliver her baby.
"Zoey, you're still young. You'll have plenty of opportunities to have children in the future. Sarah is getting old and it's dangerous for her to have an abortion."
"I'm sorry, but you have to abort the child this time and take care of Sarah. After she delivers the baby, it won't be too late for you to have another baby with Chaz."
The shameless remarks of Lester shocked me.
I felt like I was on a roller coaster.
I was moving up and down.
I was descending and ascending.
In the end, I fell into a valley.
I also saw the look of embarrassment on Chaz's face.
Instead of getting angry, I smiled and said, "Chaz, what do you think?"
"Honey..." He avoided my eyes and didn't dare to look at me.
But he still expressed his thoughts hesitantly.
"We're still young. We can have another kid in the future. Mom and Dad are old..."
I interrupted him, "I don't need to abort my baby, do I?"
Sarah and me getting pregnant at the same time would be a joke.
But I didn't have to sacrifice myself to help my parents-in-law.
Chaz's face turned pale with anxiety. "No one is gonna take care of Mom."
I was so angry that I laughed. "Can't you just hire a caregiver or send her to a care center?"
Before Chaz could say anything, the old couple exploded with rage.
"Hire a caregiver? Do you think we have the money for that?"
"I heard that a caregiver costs more than 1,500 dollars a month! How much does Chaz earn each month? If we use the money to hire a caregiver, we won't be able to make ends meet."
Oh.
I finally understood.
They couldn't bear to spend money to hire a caregiver.
And they were reluctant to spend their son's money.
How considerate they were!
"But I have to work. How can I take care of you?"
Hearing my question, the old couple lost their arrogance.
They forced a fake smile and said, "Zoey, doesn't your father know your boss?"
"Let your father talk to him and ask him to give you a few months off. When Sarah gives birth to the child, it won't be too late for you to go back to work!"
Fine.
Not only did they scheme against me, but they also wanted to involve my father.
Since that was the case, I would fulfill their wish.
I took out my phone on the spot and called my parents.
Mom and Dad would definitely support me when they came here. As the apple of their eye, how could I be wronged like this?
However, I didn't expect that my dad's reaction would be the same as theirs.
