3: Aborting The Baby.
As I walked out of the bar, my legs gave up, and I dropped on my knees. The pain was suffocating, and it dulled my senses. My vision blurred, and I couldn’t look properly.
“I have to go to the hospital,” I murmured, trying to walk to the hospital when I almost crashed into a car, but a hand pulled me from behind.
“ARE YOU TRYING TO DIE?”
I fell to his chest, unable to balance myself.
“Ashley?”
Did he know me? I managed to look up for a moment when I saw Asher.
Asher Parker, the CEO of Fortune Corp Company. I had met him a few times while I helped Ace deal with other businessmen. He was Ace‘ s enemy. They were business competitors, and were never on good. terms. And, I–I had only met him when

“Can you walk?”
I went silent, my senses were dull and I barely had any strength left.
“Strange. You don’t seem to drink much.”
“Take me to hospital…” I murmured. slowly and let a tear drop as I heard him, and soon, my consciousness faded.
As I woke up, I found myself still in Asher’s arms. I tried to push him away as I watched him carry me on the way to the
doctor’s.
“Don’t be embarrassed. You fainted right now so, don’t be strenuous.”
I took a deep breath, and stopped saying a word to him. It was futile.
All this time, he didn’t let go off me, and
continued to care for me. It felt as if he was Ace, my husband. But, it was funny, my
husband was with his ex at this moment while I was accompanied by his enemy.

I could hear the gossips among the patients, and nurses, taking us as a couple, but I paid no attention. Soon, the doctor came to check us up with my reports.
“I don’t know what’s happening but your report seems off. I’d recommend you to go through some scans.”
My lips parted, and I hesitated for a moment. “There is no need. I’m pregnant.”
The doctor’s lips widened. “Oh, this is sweet!” he paused for a moment, before. adding, “but, this report still doesn’t seem to match. It’s best if you check your body for yourself, and your baby.”
I heaved a sigh. “I wasn’t finished, doctor. I have gastric cancer.”
The doctor’s face paled, and went silent.
“What the heck?” Asher asked in
surprise.
“I… I’m sorry.

“It’s fine.”
“Well, can your husband sign the paperwork?”
“He isn’t my husband.” I paused for a minute, before adding, “Neither my boyfriend, nor my family member. And… I’m divorcing my husband soon.”
The doctor blankly nodded in a loss of words, and gave me the paperwork, which I signed without taking another look. “Can I meet Dr. Smith, right now?”
“Yeah, he’s free.”
I smiled, getting up, my hands still tied with the saline as I staggered myself at his office. Asher followed me behind quietly.
Just as I was entering, I turned towards him. “Can you come with me?”
He looked at me wide–eyed when I shrugged. “I don’t want to go through all of this alone…”
I was about to enter when he grabbed my

door open.
“Miss Ashley?” the doctor asked in surprise as we entered.
“Doctor, I’ve thought about it. I’ll go with the treatment.” I paused for a moment. before adding, “I’ll abort the baby.”
