The call did not take long to connect.
Avery asked in horror, "Are you sure you're not playing a prank on me, Lilith?" "This isn't something to joke about." Lilith sounded downcast over the phone. "Should | get an abortion?" "All you did was do a htest, right? Have you been to the hospital for an examination?" "No." Lilith took a deep breath and said in a voice filled with agitation, "I went to the pharmacy to buy sflu meds today and decided to buy a box of early pregnancy test strips. The result was two bars. Didn't expect to hit the jackpot right away!" "Who's the father?" Avery was a little unhappy when she heard the way Lilith downplayed everything.
"How could Lilith treat herself with such little care?" thought Avery.
"I don't want to bring it up," Lilith said firmly.

He might no longer support you as well. That promise might be void. The path you take depends on you and you alone." "I get it now. You're tellingthat you don't wantbothering you again in the future!" Lilith's tone suddenly beca little colder.
"No. You're his sister, and I'll help you as much as | can if you cto me," Avery said. "But if you wantto help you, you need to promisesomething in exchange, and that's to stop working in that modeling agency. Making one mistake isn’t scary, but making many mistakes are.” "l won't work at that company again in the future.” Lilith felt her head ache. "What should | do with the child in my belly? Should | get an abortion?" "It's your body. The child is yours too. Whether you want to abort or keep it is something you should think carefully about. It is not something which you get the opinions of others for. I'm in no position to give you any advice when you didn’t tellwho the child's father is." When Avery said that, she remembered the tshe was pregnant with her children.
The moment she found out that she was pregnant, she tested Elliot to see what his answer was ;h!=RIR: discovered that he was against having children.
She still remembered the long sleepless nights and the insomnia she had developed because she had been thinking about whether to keep the children or not.
"Okay, I'll think about it on my own," Lilith said, then hung up the phone.
Avery looked at the screen of her phone and felt indescribably annoyed.
She did not want to care that much about Lilith's situation, yet she could not just ignore the issue completely since Lilith was Elliot's younger sister.
After taking @ moment to calm down, she opened Lilith's dialog box and sent her a message.
Lilith received her message and read it carefully.
She had given Lilith two clear paths. The first is to keep the baby, and if she did, then she should be prepared to work hard to earn money to support them. The second path is to abort the child and start a new life.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLilith's mind was a complete mess.
She had no idea what to do because raising a child was out of the question if she was unable to support herself.
As for the child's father, Lilith simply could not mention anything.
She had only spent one night with Ben, and he had been so drunk that he probably did not even remember what happened.
"How am | going to tell Avery about that night?" thought Lilith.
After feeling conflicted for a moment, she called Avery again.
"Does abortion hurt, Avery?" "It doesn't. You'll be under anesthesia.
Have you already decided?" "Not yet. I'm still figuring out whether to tell the baby's father... | don't want to pay for the surgery myself." "The fees aren't that expensive. If you don't have any money, | can give you some. It'd be better for you not to contact the guy if he's a jerk." "Oh", Lilith said. After a moment's hesitation, she continued with a question,” Has Ben ever been married?"
