Chapter 481
She knew damn well that asking Selena to call Grandpa Holden on her behalf would be a dead end.
But if she could just get through to lan and explain the whole situation, maybe there would be a sliver of hope that he’d want to keep the baby.
Selena scowled, chin held high. “Get her in there; I’ve scheduled the surgery.”
“Ms. Casson.”
But Selena was as cold as ice.
“Maja, why the hell do you think that if you called lan, he’d let you keep the baby? Did he ever say he was into you?”
Maja clammed up. She didn’t have the energy to argue; she could barely stand,
They snuck through the hospital, using the Raymond family’s influence to get Maja straight into the operating room.
Guessing that Maja might kick up a fuss, Selena had the doctor knock her out completely.
The doctor had been in the Raymond family’s pocket for years; he’d follow Selena’s orders.
“Ms. Casson, I need to ruh some tests first. Are you sure about the surgery?”
“Absolutely.”
Selena couldn’t stand Maja, and she wouldn’t let her son lan be embarrassed.
The Doctor got the message and closed the operating room door.
Half an hour later, the doctor emerged.
“Ms. Casson, we’ve run the tests; she’s pregnant alright, but it’s ectopic. Surgery is a must.”
Selena was taken aback, then let out a cold laugh.
Was this Maja’s karma?
The baby was doomed from the start.
“Proceed with the surgery then.”
The doctor nodded. “She’s not far along; a painless abortion would be most suitable. She’s already under anesthesia; I’ll get started right away.” Selena didn’t really give a damn; the baby couldn’t have survived anyway. But she gave the doctor a serious look and said, “Don’t let her know it was ectopic; make her think she lost a normal pregnancy.”
This way, Maja might give up on lan and leave the Raymond family.
Maja had backbone, and if she lost hope, even Grandpa Holden might not be able to make her stay.
The doctor froze for a moment, then nodded.
“Alright.”
The surgery didn’t take long, thanks to modern techniques and the best anesthetics.
When it was over, Maja was wheeled out alone and still under the effects of the anesthesia. She hadn’t woken up yet, but her pillow was soaked with
tears.
She was taken to a room.
When she woke up, everything was white.
The harsh light made her blink and adjust, and she heard the doctor say, “You’re awake. You don’t need to stay overnight for a painless abortion. Ms. Casson has already settled the bill.”
Hearing the news, Maja felt her world go dark, but she managed to stay conscious.
The doctor continued, “Rest up at home and eat plenty to recover. That way, you won’t affect your work.”
Maja wanted to say something, but the words wouldn’t come out. It was as if lan’s hand was once again around her throat.
“For the next week, it’s best to avoid sexual activity. You need to replenish nutrients.”
The doctor finished, then opened the door to leave.
Maja finally managed to speak: “I’m going to sue you.”
The doctor looked back at her in surprise and said, “Ms. Pennyfeather, Ms. Casson is your mother–in–law. She had the legal right to sign the consent form. I’ve dealt with many similar cases; suing won’t do you any good. It’s best if you leave.”
Maja clenched the sheets, a sense of helplessness welling up within her.
The doctor was right; suing wouldn’t do any good.
She laid back down on the bed. Even though she couldn’t feel the baby, the pain was overwhelming.
She curled up on the bed, like a wounded animal tending to its wounds in solitude.
She left the hospital in a daze that night.
Her phone was right next to her, and Selena was sure Maja wouldn’t spill the beans to Grandpa Holden. His health wasn’t great, and if he heard the news and something happened, she’d be the black sheep of the Raymond family.
Mája felt her stomach churning; she wanted to throw up, but there was nothing to bring up.

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100 positive. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks
