Chapter 434 The next day, after everyone else had returned home, Cynthia moved back to her own house with Jonathan and Shirley. With both Cynthia and Shirley off work and school respectively, the family spent some much-needed quality time together. Three days passed quickly. One sunny afternoon, as Cynthia was enjoying the sun on the backyard swing, she received a call from Ellora With her eyes closed, basking in the comfortable sunlight, Cynthia answered, “Hello, Ellora.” “Cynthia, I’ve made a decision,” came the response. “What?” “I’ve decided not to keep the baby.” Ellora’s words left Cynthia stunned. Sitting up straight and opening her eyes, Cynthia asked, “Why?” Ellora had made it clear how much she cared about this child. Why the sudden change?
“Talia called me and got me to listen to a recording. The recording was of her telling Chyler’s parents about my pregnancy,” Ellora explained, sounding suddenly lucid Cynthia paused, remembering what Chyler had told her that day. “Later, Chyler’s mom also called me. I don’t want my child to be born into a tug-of-war, nor do I want them to live amidst schemes and manipulations.” Ellora did not elaborate on the call’s content but shared her feelings She was well aware that children under two were to be cared for by their mothers and could be taken away by the father as they grew older. However, she had little trust in the Young family. The uncertainty of the future was overwhelming, and she feared that her child might blame her for bringing him into this world. “Do you love this child?” Cynthia queried. Ellora remained silent. How could she not love him? This was her first child. “I can handle the Young family for you. You need to figure out the rest. No matter what your decision is, I will respect it,” Cynthia pledged, hoping she would make a thoughtful decision.
As a woman, she found it heart-wrenching to abort her own child. After all, it was a life. However, from a rational perspective, once Ellora bore this child, it meant she would forever be unable to completely sever ties with Chyler, the father of the child. Regardless, Cynthia vowed to support any decision Ellora made. “Take your time and think about it. Don’t think about it for a few days. The decision you make now will be influenced by that previous phone call,” Cynthia consoled her. “Cynthia “Don’t be scared. Just follow your heart and forget about the other stuff,” Cynthia reassured. Ellora did not know how to choose. She selfishly wanted to keep the child but truly feared that the child might blame her one day. The words of Chyler’s parents still echoed in her mind. Would the child feel unjust when he found out he could have been rich but instead was just an ordinary person because he was with her? “I’m scared that he will blame me for bringing him into this world without his consent,” Ellora finally confessed her deepest fear. During pregnancy, women tend to worry and contemplate more than usual. She was truly scared and anxious “The moment he appeared in your belly, he chose to come into this world. If he truly didn’t want to come, he had more than nine months to decide to leave,” Cynthia reasoned clearly. Hearing this, Ellora felt as though her mind had cleared. “Is that true?” she asked cautiously. Chapte 4 2.2 “Absolutely,” Cynthia affirmed and added another comforting thought, “Children are shaped by upbringing. As long as you guide him well from a young age, he’ll be a sensible, good child.” Children were purer than adults Cynthia believed Ellora could raise a good child.
