Chapter 6

• "What!"
• Georgia lowered her head in fear as she stared at the angry looks on their faces.
• Madam Kate's expression suddenly turned cold and stoic. She looked up at Georgia who averted her angry gaze.
• Pregnant? With who? She doesn't want to believe it was with Smith. She wouldn't dare get pregnant with him.
• "What's wrong with you? What are you saying?"Olivia asked as she dragged her into a place beside the hall room.
• "Nothing is wrong with me. I'm pregnant mum,"she muttered with her voice laced with pain and sadness.
• "With how? How can you get pregnant now?"her mother asked in an angry tone.
• She scoffed loudly and rolled her eyes at her mother.
• "What do you mean? I'm old enough to give birth, right?"she grunted, and her mother shook her head with a sigh.
• "I never said you're not old enough to give birth,"
• "That isn't the matter right now. I need to know who is responsible for the baby,"
• "Mum,"she groaned, trying to mask the frustrated look on her face.
• "Who's the father of the child?" Her mother snapped at her angrily, and she shook her head with a sigh.
• "Olivia, what are you both discussing over there?"
• "You'd better stop whatever you're discussing and come over here,"
• "She need to explain how she got pregnant,"
• Her heart shook in fear as she heard her grandma's cold and angry voice.
• She wonders how she's going to handle this question. She knows what her Grandma can do whenever she's angry.
• She took a deep breath and returned to the hall room where her grandma was waiting for her, especially her explanation.
• "What did you say happened the other time?" Madam Kate asked to confirm her assumption.
• She can't possibly be pregnant. She dare not. And if she's supposed to get pregnant then it should be for Edward Jones.
• "You'd better talk before I lose my mind,"she warned as she stood up from the chair.
• Georgia swallowed the saliva in her throat as she moved closer to her Grandma.
• "Yes, I'm pregnant…"she stammered.
• "What!?"
• "And who's the father of the unborn child?"she asked, her voice cold and hostile.
• Georgia knew better not to lie to her Grandma especially when she's angry. She's going to find out herself with her influential power.
• "Erm it…"she stammered, unaware of what to say.
• "It's what?"
• "I said who's the father of your unborn child? Who's responsible for the pregnancy?" Madam Kate roared and her voice echoed in the room.
• The fear bubbled inside Georgia as she watched her Grandma react in such a way when she hadn't mentioned the name of the baby father.
• "I'm sorry, grandma. I can't tell you,"
• "I just came to inform you that I'm pregnant,"she muttered with a sigh.
• Her grandma's voice made her stop on her track. "You'll cease to be the Rodriguez family if you leave this please now,"
• Georgia suddenly stopped and turned her gaze to her Grandma who seemed serious. She knows better not to leave the room because she's a woman of her word.
• "Please pardon your granddaughter's mother,"her mother interrupted.
• "Don't interfere with this, Olivia,"she replied curtly.
• Olivia shook her head with a sigh and stepped backward. Who's she to go against her mother?
• "Why are you hesitant to tell me the father of the child, huh? Who is he? Just let me know,"
• "Don't feel ashamed," madam Kate said, seeing how skeptical Georgia is.
• "Is it Edward? I won't hesitate to throw Smith away so you can marry Edward,"she said.
• "Fine. Smith is the father of my unborn child," Georgia crimped her fingers.
• "Smith!?"
• "How's that possible?"
• "You've that good for nothing man child in you,"
• "How could you, Georgia?" Madam Kate asked angrily, and she lowered her head in fear.
• "I'm sorry grandma,"she muttered.
• How could she explain to them that he was drunk when he slept with her? She seduced him.
• "You're not pregnant for Edward but for Smith of all people! Why are you head bent on disgracing this family?" Her Grandma yelled out, her voice laced with anger and hatred.
• "I'm sorry, grandma,"she muttered as she lowered her head in shame.
• How could her granddaughter dare to be pregnant for no one but Smith of all people?
• It's a disgrace and slap to the face of the Rodriguez family that her eldest granddaughter who's the hottest and latest model in the town is pregnant for a good for nothing live-in son-in-law.
• Someone she's not proud of.
• She can't let that happen under her watch.
• "Since you're not pregnant for Edward then you'll have to abort this pregnancy,"
• Georgia's heart skipped in fear the moment her grandma uttered the word with her face filled with seriousness.
• "I can't, grandma. I can't abort the baby. Smith also deserves…" she stopped abruptly as a hot slap landed at the left side of her cheeks.
• "How dare you talk back to your grandma? You'd better not go against me," her grandma warned.
• "I can't, grandma," she said despite the excruciating pain she felt on her cheeks.
• Though she doesn't love Smith, she can't afford to abort his child. It's still her child anyway.
• He's not aware that he's the father of her child. He was drunk when she had sex with him so he couldn't remember anything about that night.
• She didn't know that night would result in this.
• Madam Kate gritted her teeth angrily as she picked her phone from the table. She fumed with anger.
• She's really angry that her granddaughter is going against her because of that good for nothing live-in son-in-law.
• Georgia watched as her grandma picked up her phone and dialed a number.
• Madam Kate placed the phone beside her ear after the third ring.
• "Why are you taking time to pick up my call?" She asked angrily over the other side of the phone.
• The doctor, Lincoln, shook in fear after hearing her cold and dominant voice over the other side of the phone.
• "I'm sorry ma'am. May I know the reason for your call?"
• "What am I hearing? Is it true that Georgia is pregnant?"
• "Yes, she is. I apologize for not calling to congratulate you, madam Kate," he said, unknowingly bubbling anger inside her.
• "Who told you that I need your congratulations?"
• "Georgia is coming to the hospital tomorrow to abort the pregnancy," Georgia eyes widened at her Grandma outburst.
• What!? Abortion? Her heart raced in fear.
• "And you make sure that Smith doesn't know about this…"
• "I don't think that's possible anymore,"Lincoln said.
• "What do you mean?"
• "Smith already knew about the pregnancy and he was the one who paid for the…" Lincoln suddenly stopped when he realized what he was about to say.
• "I'll call you later ma'am. I've patients to attend to,"he quickly hung on the call.
• "Why did you inform him? Paid for what?"
• What! Madam Kate widened in shock as reality hit her.
• How did he manage to know?
• Could it be that he was the one who paid the surgery fund?
• She remembered how confident Smith looked and sounded. Is it the proof he wanted to show them in the hospital?
• Though she doesn't want to believe he paid for the surgery fund, all accusations were pointing at him.
• She bit her lips as she concluded it was him. Her face turned pale, and she clenched her fist with an angry look on her face.
• She felt a stab of annoyance and disappointment after she remembered how she prayed for the anonymous person who turned out to be her live-in son-in-law.
• How did he manage to get such an amount of money? In as much she wanted to find out, she knows she has something more important to battle with.
• "Georgia," madam Kate called.
• Georgia stared at her grandmother fearfully as she dropped her phone on the table after making the phone call.
• "Grandma…" she shuddered in fear.
• "You're going to the hospital next thing tomorrow morning to abort that bastard chil
• d inside of you,"
• "And if you refuse, you'll cease to be the member of the Rodriguez family. And you'll be dragged out of the house to suffer in the street," her grandmother threatened.
