Loving You In Secret

Chapter 1684

“The Hart family has launched a fierce retaliation against us, intercepting our orders at any cost. Yeager Corporation isn’t doing so great either.”

Avery did not seem worried at all. “When it comes to losses, the Hart family must be suffering more, right?”

“That’s one way to put it, but if we engage in this fight, both sides may end up worse off,” Alana cautioned.

Avery remained untroubled. “Even if we can’t hold out, the Hart family will falter first. Don’t worry, Mom. It won’t be long before Tyler comes begging us for help.”

Concerned, Alana said, “Let’s hope so.”

Avery then thought of her fetus and asked, “Mom, since this child isn’t Tyler’s, what do you think if I… consider getting rid of it?”

Avery had no intention of having Lincoln’s child. After careful consideration, she believed that given Tyler’s pride, he would not want anything to do with her once he found out that she was pregnant with Lincoln’s child.

“It’s not the right time yet,” Alana advised. “You’re still legally married to Lincoln. If Tyler refuses to marry you, you’ll have an escape route.”

Given Avery’s reputation, it was impossible for her to find a husband with an illegitimate child and would not be able to remarry if she divorced Lincoln.

Avery looked defiant. “I don’t want Lincoln as a fallback! He doesn’t deserve me!”

Alana switched her approach. “If Tyler won’t marry you and you have this child, you can still stay with the Hart family. Lincoln and Tyler are brothers, and you’ll have the opportunity to get close to Tyler. If you get rid of this child, how will you approach him?”

Avery wavered at the thought. “But if I give birth to someone else’s child, Tyler will never want me again…”

Alana, much more experienced in such matters, knew Tyler would never accept Avery again since he refused to come to the Yeagers for help this time. If that was the case, their only option would be to place their bets on Lincoln.

Despite her thoughts, Alana did not speak her mind. Instead, she comforted Avery, “Didn’t I tell you this before? When the time comes, find a way to hypnotize Tyler so that he thinks the child is his. That should resolve everything, right?” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“But what if the hypnosis fails?”

She patted Avery’s hand. “Maybe it’ll succeed if you keep trying. You’ll still have chances to stay close to him.”

Eventually, Avery agreed. “Alright, let’s keep it for now.”

…

Due to recent stress over her pregnancy, which she had been unaware of, Vicky’s physical condition was extremely poor.

The doctor had conducted a thorough examination of Vicky and wore a grave expression toward the end. “Ms. Shaw, your body is severely depleted and frail. At the moment, your physical condition cannot withstand the loss from a miscarriage. Furthermore, after your previous miscarriage, you didn’t

take proper care of your body, making it difficult for you to conceive again. Now that you’ve finally become pregnant, are you sure you want to consider a termination? Given your current condition, the chances of getting pregnant again after a miscarriage are close to zero.”

As they left the hospital, it was already dark outside.

Vicky was lost in her thoughts. With everything that happened between her and Tyler, she could not find any reason to keep the baby.

Considering Tyler’s personality, he would no doubt snatch the child from her once he found out the child was his.

Her child would also be born as an illegitimate child, with Tyler already married and likely to have more children in the future. Aria would not treat Vicky’s child as her own, especially if it were a boy, and might favor her own children like Valencia and Orion did.

How could her child survive in the cutthroat world of the Hart family?
