The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 835

Chapter 835: I HAVE A SUGGESTION

"Abby, think about this again." Liam’s face was a myriad of emotions. He was currently alone with Abby inside the room, while Cedric was standing out there. He was barely speaking with the two of them, ever since he learned about Abby’s pregnancy.

But even so, Cedric did his best to cover for Abby and Liam during this time, telling the other three Holy Knights and the rest of the knights that the Serafim was still recovering and they should let her to rest for a little bit longer.

Cedric could already feel the disappointment that came from the knights for the Serafim, because of how incompetent Abby was to handle everything.

They came here with the determination to show those shifters the power the Holy Kingdom, the power of the Serafim. But, as it turned out, their Serafim was a disappointment and it was Luna Iris, who had handled everything, so well, they couldn’t even have a word to retort it.

More so, there were a lot of questions that circling around the knights related the divine power luna Iris had and the lycan. They wanted the answer, but they couldn’t have it, since no one breathed a word about it since what happened. The tension between the knights and the warriors became more palpable.

The shifters looked very smug and looked down on them, because it was their luna, who saved their asses from being obliterated by the dragon.

And by any mean, it didn’t do any good on Abby when she learned about what happened and the way they saw her. It crushed her. Her insecurity had gone so wild without even the problem with the pregnancy.

"I have thought about it, Liam." Abby avoided his eyes. She tried to look stoic, but her heart was bleeding. "What option do I have?"

"You can keep the baby." Liam knelt down in front of her, he grabbed her hand and pinched her chin to make her looked at him.

"And then what? Watching you being punished? Letting them to kill you? You know the rule!" Abby was angry. She was upset, she hated how unfair this world was. "I don’t want to keep the baby!"

The words she said was like a stab in her bruised heart, but she didn’t budge. She refused to cry and let Liam to talk her down to change her mind about this decision.

She only had two options; kill the baby, or kill Liam. That was how cruel the reality that was offered to her.

"In that case, let it be," Liam said in firm voice. "They will not do anything to you or the baby, they will not do harm to you and the baby."

"Because they thought, the baby could be the future Serafim, but what if the baby was not?"

The line of Serafim could come from bloodline and this was very common, though in some occasion, the next Serafim would come from random people outside of the Holy Kingdom.

Facing with the question, Liam didn’t have the answer for that. If the baby was not the next Serafim, Abby and the baby would be pariah in the Holy Kingdom, especially when they found the next Serafim, their baby would live in misery, that was the future that the baby would have.

However, to kill their baby...

"Abby, please think about this again," Liam begged her. He couldn’t bring himself to watch Abby went through that.

"There is no time to think about this. The people from the Holy Kingdom would be here tomorrow. This is the only chance I have." Abby felt her throat was very dry. She wanted to scream on the top of her lungs, or just curled herself on the bed without anyone bothering her.

"Abby, I don’t want you to go through what luna Iris experienced. You need to consider this carefully."

Here you could see how unfair the world could be. In one hand, there was a couple, who wanted to have a child on their own, prayed days and nights for them to have their own little family, to hear the cry and laughter of their little one, who would resemble one of them or the mixed of them both, but they couldn’t do it because of myriad reason, but on the other hand, there was a couple, who couldn’t afford to have a child because of their circumstance, because this was not something they prayed for.

"I am not her, Liam." Abby pointed out the difference between her and Iris. "I don’t even feel the baby yet, I don’t give birth or see the baby. Let’s assume this pregnancy is a wrong call and we will be fine. This is only a hiccup."

Liam didn’t know what to say with the way how Abby put it in. He stared at her in disbelieve. This was their baby, how she could talk about this very lightly?

"A hiccup?" Liam let go of her hands and then stood up, he didn’t want to get mad at her, but all of the frustration came crushing down and he couldn’t think rational.

"Liam." Abby immediately backpedaled, knowing how callous it sounded. "I didn’t mean that..."

"I am very angry right now, Abby. I need to calm myself down before we talked about this again," Liam said through his gritted teeth. He couldn’t continue this conversation without yelling at her, which would only make the situation worst.

With that, Liam stormed out of the room, leaving Abby alone, crying when Cedric went inside and consoled her.

"What should I do now, Ced?" Abby asked, she let Cedric hugged her and comforted her. "I don’t want this to happen."

Cedric wanted to say that she should have been more careful if she didn’t want this to happen, but that would be very harsh, moreover, thing had escalated to this point, all they needed to do now was to think of a solution.

"I am sorry, I am sorry." Abby didn’t mean to be in this position and added more trouble to their plate when their situation couldn’t be said as good.

"Let’s figure out our option."

But then, what option did they have? The people from the Holy Kingdom would arrive tomorrow and there was no time for a plan aside from an abortion.

"Where is Grace?" Abby finally asked, she composed herself and wiped tears from cheeks. She had asked the healer to give her the potion as soon as possible, but she had not yet appeared after three hours. "How long it will take to make the potion?"
