Chapter 1131: Chapter 1131: I Forced Him_1

The doctor turned his head to look inside the ward and said to Jane McCain, "She’s alright now, you can go in and talk with her to help her calm down."

"Okay, thank you, doctor..." Jane McCain thanked the doctor.

After the doctor left, Jane McCain walked into the ward, where Zara Jameson sat on the hospital bed, looking up and smiling at her slightly.

"I’m so sorry, what a huge misunderstanding," Zara Jameson said.

Jane McCain felt a complicated mix of emotions as she sat beside the bed, taking Zara Jameson’s hand, "What on earth happened? Zara, you didn’t actually want the baby, did you? We’re friends, we share our burdens, you should have told me if you were upset, I could have been upset with you."

Zara Jameson smiled faintly, stroking her abdomen with emotions like a saturated cotton wad, damp and heavy.

Yes.

She didn’t actually want the child.

She didn’t think she was ready to be a mother, but when the situation arose, she felt she had to be responsible—for her actions and for the little life inside her. She had to be responsible.

All the voices around her were urging her to give up.

In such circumstances, she suddenly felt her responsibility magnified invisibly.

She realized she had to persist because to the unborn child, she was the last hope! Everyone wanted her to let go, and if she let go too, then that little life would truly be gone!

Then she began to ponder, why not persist?

Her family was wealthy, and she could afford to raise the child;

She and Ryan Wesley could marry anytime, and they could afford to raise the child;

As for her studies... as far as her studies went, they had always been conducted by the book, without particular passion; even if she gave them up, it seemed there wouldn’t be much to regret.

Having considered everything thoroughly, she decided to welcome this new life, only to be told: she wasn’t pregnant.

"Janie, I overestimated myself," Zara Jameson said with a powerless smile, "I thought I could handle it, but I really couldn’t... you know, I am actually... relieved. It’s a life, easy to bring into the world, but raising and educating it is a long process, and my so-called persistence was actually capriciousness..."

"Don’t talk about yourself like that," Jane McCain said with a twist of her mouth, "I think you are much stronger than me, at least you can clearly analyze the pros and cons. If it were me, I’d probably be crying and running to my mom by now."

Zara Jameson let out a laugh, her suppressed mood lightening slightly.

Her thoughts turning to Ryan Wesley, she frowned slightly and murmured, "He must have been pretty scared too... I should find a chance to explain things to him."

Jane McCain thought for a moment, sat closer to Zara Jameson, and asked her in a low voice, "How did you and Ryan Wesley... uh... end up that way?"

"Looking for gossip?" Zara Jameson asked with a smile.

Jane McCain pursed her lips and honestly nodded, "Quite curious."

Zara Jameson said, "I forced him to."

"...huh?!" Jane McCain’s eyes widened in surprise.

"I tied him to the bed, at first he thought I was joking, but then... it just happened," Zara Jameson said calmly, reflecting back on the event.

Jane McCain was so shocked that she was speechless.

She scrutinized Zara Jameson’s face carefully, doubting whether she was joking or not?!

"I just wanted him to know that I’m not as conservative as he thought, not as traditional as he thought. But in the end... I am," said Zara Jameson, chuckling softly as if self-deprecatingly, "I pretended to be calm afterwards, but actually, I’d been panicking, living in fear every day that I might be pregnant. And when my period was delayed, I became even more convinced that I was..."

Jane McCain looked at her in astonishment, "Zara, what’s... what’s going on with you... "

"I don’t know," Zara Jameson said helplessly, her nose tingling, "I just don’t know what’s wrong with me..."
