"I understand about looking for donors but I'm quite confused about surrogacy." Everyone knew what surrogacy was, but they needed a clearer explanation from Elizabeth.
Since they talked about it, it was better to be clear.
Used this opportunity to put everything on the table.
Elizabeth knew she was a little over the line, hence, it took her a while before explaining. "Since Theresa is infertile, this means she won't be able to have a child with Armand. There are tons of women willing to sell their fertile eggs and if this doesn't work, he will have to create a child with someone else naturally. The doctor mentioned that conceiving naturally is the best and naturally conceived child is born smarter."
Dolores took a deep breath.
"Madame…"
"Armand," Dolores called, suppressing her disappointment as she looked at Armand, "What do you think?"
"I won't ever do anything that hurt Theresa," Armand said firmly.
"Nonsense, will have a child hurt her?" Elizabeth shouted in anger.
Theresa closed her eyes. She knew this day will come after the doctor explained everything. But she didn't expect to face this so soon.
She opened her eyes and looked up slowly at Armand, "Let's divorce…"
"I won't divorce you!" Armand quickly interrupted and knelt in front of her, "I won't listen or do what she said, I will never betray you."
Theresa smiled coldly, an ice-cold and pathetic smile.
"What's the point of saying all this now? Can it solve the problem?" Theresa had finally realized, "It was my fault from the beginning."
Her lashes trembled, holding up tears in her eyes. "Armand, you are my jinx and I fell into your trap, twice."
"Theresa…" Armand held her hand, "Trust me…"
Theresa shook her head, "There is no solution to this."
Dolores couldn't imagine what kind of life Theresa had been through. It must be a hard life under this kind of circumstances. No wonder why Armand moved out with Theresa.
She swept a glance at Armand and fixed her gaze at Elizabeth. "Regardless of how this will end today, there's something I wish to say."
Armand looked at Dolores.
"Do you agree on their divorce too?" Elizabeth asked.
"Yes," Dolores said.
"Dolores…"
"Listen!" Dolores interrupted Armand and took a deep breath, "Theresa came back with me and I'm her only family here. It pains me to see her being bullied and suffering. I am sad and full of regrets."
She looked at Armand. "You knew damn well how you started your relationship with her, don't you?"
Armand gritted his teeth in silence.
"If I knew the ending today, I would never have agreed to your marriage!" Dolores suppressed her emotion and continued. "You be with Theresa in White City due to Madame Bernie urging you to get married, your relationship wasn't strong and we came back to City B before the two of you even have to chance to get to know each other further. And then your ex-girlfriend came back, and you know what happened next. Three of you were fully involved and knew what happened after that. Who was the one that gets hurt the most in that incident?"
Dolores turned slowly and looked at Elizabeth. "Guess Madame Bernie knew best that Theresa isn't born infertile, right? You know very well how she ended up being infertile today, don't you?"
Elizabeth dared not look straight into Dolores' eyes as she knew Theresa was the ultimate victim of this. But there must be an heir for the Bernie family, she couldn't accept the fact that Armand might be childless.
"She was pregnant with Armand's child once and that bastard didn't appreciate it! How did she lose the baby?!"
Dolores stared at Armand, "Armand, do you know how did she lose the baby?"
Armand lowered his head and his body shook when he heard that.
"How did she end up like this? She is suffering more than anyone here as a woman who can't have her child. Have you tried understanding her?" This question was directed to Armand but intended to Elizabeth.
"Who should be held responsible for her lost baby and her face destroyed in an explosion? Who is the one who should be blamed for the outcome today?" Dolores asked mercilessly, "Not many can survive what she had and still living a sane life. She is strong and courageous enough to accept Armand into her life again. No, it's my fault too, I shouldn't have encouraged her to take him back, I thought you should be together since you still love each other. But I was so wrong to once again put her in agony. Armand, I was confident that you will love her wholeheartedly after what happened, providing her with a loving home and made up for the wrong you've done before, but what have you done?"
Dolores' words were direct and sharp, though she mentioned Armand, her speech was intended for Elizabeth.
She never thought that Elizabeth would behave so stubborn and conservatively because of an heir, she was too mean. She even caused hurt to Theresa.
She held Theresa up, "I'll bring Theresa with me today, take the time to have a thorough consideration before coming to us."
"Hey." Elizabeth was hoping Dolores to advise Armand for her but her speech was full of sarcasm towards her, she was enraged, "You must not bring Theresa with you."
