Chapter 10: Would I accept an illegitimate mutt?

"Take her to the hospital."

Cristian's cold voice fell like ice falling on her body, "Check her if she is pregnant and tell me when the test result comes out."

Luca nodded immediately.

"No!" Serena tried to break free strongly, "Cristian Ferrari, we are just a falsely married couple. What qualification do you have to let them treat me like this. Leave me alone!"

"Leave you alone?" Cristian's eyes were cold with an indifferent tone, "If you let me find out you are pregnant, you should be aware of the consequences. Luca, take her away."

Knowing that she was not the person he was looking for, there was no longer any sense of pity for Cristian.

"Hurry up and take her to the hospital for examination." Luca gestured.

Although Serena did not want to go, she was quickly taken outside and dragged to the car.

As she extremely resisted them on the way to the hospital, Serena could no longer free herself from them. After they arrived at the hospital, Serena saw the doctor again. The group of people came and went again carrying a woman back and forth, and forced the crowd to retreat to the side.

These people did not look like gentlemen. No one wanted to disturb them.

At the whole process, Serena was forced to accept the checkup. Then, the result was brought directly before Cristian: "Result?"

"The fact that she is pregnant...is true." Luca answered.

At that exact moment, Serena felt that the shield she made with great difficulty was pierced. The secret of pregnancy was known by him, which left her no place to hide anymore.

How could she stay in the Ferrari family after Cristian was so aware of this news?

As expected, Cristian's eyes became as sharp as a knife: "Do you want me to take responsibility for that? You are not capable of it."

Serena raised her eyes and looked at him helplessly. "Can you give me some time? I didn't know about this pregnancy either."

"Oh yeah?" Cristian arched his eyebrows, "Are you going to tell me that you don't know anything, and that you go to the hospital for abortion?"

Hearing the words, Serena was stunned for a few seconds. She would like to handle the matter calmly, but the idea of aborting the baby had never appeared in her mind.

Cristian suddenly reached out his hand to lift her chin, and his eyes remained somber, "How about I give you a chance? If you want to stay in the Ferrari family. It's easy, very easy. All you need to do is abortion."

Serena slowly widened her eyes. Abortion?

"No! Impossible!"

"Impossible?" said Cristian looking at her as if she were ridiculous, "Do you really think I would accept an illegitimate mutt?"

Illegitimate...? Her pale lips trembled a little bit. She had never imagined that she would be pregnant.

Accompanied by a cold and unforgiving gaze, the man's sour words continued, "Have you made up your mind? Do you think that bringing your ex-husband's child into my family is something acceptable to me? Or are you doing all this out of contempt just because I am disabled?"

Shaking her head, Serena said, "I never thought so." She had never had sex with Francis before, and she did not expect at all that she would become pregnant! How could she know that she would lose her virginity on that rainy night and get pregnant? All of this became a heavy burden which suddenly fell on Serena's shoulders.

"No, please no!" Serena was aware that her pregnancy could make her be expelled from the Ferrari family, and be sent straight back to the Gallo family. After that, she would be mocked by the whole town. Therefore, she asked, "Could you give me some time?"

"Of course, for a greedy woman like you, I really should give you more time" The man smiled ostentatiously and said, "Three days. I'll give you three days for the abortion."

The woman's eyes widened in surprise for what he just said.

"If in three days you are still pregnant, I will immediately drive you out of the house." Leaving these words behind, the two walked away.

Serena, who was left alone, fell to the ground with frozen limbs.

After a moment, Serena pulled out her cell phone to call to Alice Giordano, a friend of hers. Within half an hour after the call, Alice came to pick her up.

"Tell me, what happened?" said Alice who was offering her a glass of cold juice.

Serena put it back on the table. After all, with a baby inside her belly, ice-cold drinks were not good for her.

Serena was taken aback by her thought. Why did she... care about this baby so much?

"Aren't you going to take it? Wasn't the juice your favorite?" Alice raised her eyebrows all in surprise when she saw that Serena had put the glass down.

"I can't take it now."

"Why?"

"I'm pregnant."

At first, Alice did not respond but nodded, "Yes, it's time to get pregnant after two years of marriage."

"I got diavorced a month ago."

"Huh?"

"But I just recently remarried."

"Wait a minute! Serena, can you not talk at such a fast pace? Divorced and married again? What are you doing? Let me adjust to the situation for a moment." Alice was so frightened that she covered her chest to calm herself down.

As Alice came to her senses, Serena had to tell her everything that had happened recently.

"So now you are Mrs. Ferrari?"

"Only in name, and I may not be any more very soon."

"I'll kill you." Alice jumped up suddenly pretending to strangle her by the neck and saying, "Are we friends or not? Big change like these, and you only tell me now? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"They happened suddenly. I don't know how to tell you."

"So what? You had to tell me anyway. It's a very serious matter." Pondering, Alice said coldly, "I'll take you to the hospital to have abortion."

Hearing this, Serena raised her head and repeated, "Abortion?"

"Or what? Do you want to keep it? This is a stranger's child! Serena, don't be stupid. Who knows what that man is like? You have to abort it!" said Alice with serious face.

"But it has already formed. It is a human life. Isn't that too cruel to it?" Serena stroked her belly and continued, "After all, it is a little life that has its own breath."

"Don't think too much. It's only one month old. It's not a life at all! If you don't terminate the pregnancy now, you should regret it after a few months!" Bring concerned for her, Alice continued, "What are you thinking about? That is a stranger's child. If you don't get rid of it, you couldn't stay in the Ferrari family. If you go back home, will your parents let you stay without punishment?"

These words recalled the memory of Serena who suddenly looked up.

Alice was right. If she still wanted to stay in the Ferrari family, the child cannot stay.

Was there no other solutions anymore?
