Chapter 809: Chapter 806: You Disappoint Me Too Much (7)

Seth Quinn reflexively took out his own phone. Seeing no incoming call on his screen, he looked down and realized it was Clara Grant’s phone ringing.

He hesitated for a moment before pulling her phone from her bag. When he saw "XX Hospital" displayed on the screen, he frowned in confusion. Why would the hospital be calling?

After a brief hesitation, Seth pressed the answer button and brought the phone to his ear.

A slightly robotic female voice came through the receiver. "Hello, Miss Grant. This is XX Hospital. The abortion procedure you scheduled has been arranged for nine o’clock the morning after next. Please be sure to arrive on time..."

Seth didn’t hear a single word after that. Only the phrase "abortion procedure" circled and echoed endlessly in his mind. No wonder she hadn’t told him she was pregnant. She never wanted this child in the first place!

Seth couldn’t understand it. Hadn’t she always loved children? Why would she want to abort her own baby now? Was her love for children completely fake? Did she only like them on a whim, but the moment she thought about having to be a hands-on mother, she found it too troublesome and decided she didn’t want the baby?!

But no matter what, shouldn’t she have at least discussed it with him? If she truly didn’t want the child, he wouldn’t force her; he would respect her decision. Yet, she had decided to get an abortion without breathing a single word to him!

If his mother hadn’t found the medical report first, and if he hadn’t accidentally intercepted this call from the hospital, would she have kept him in the dark forever? Would she have simply gotten rid of the child in secret, leaving him completely oblivious that they had ever even conceived?

Therefore, no matter her reasons, he could not accept what she was doing. The child belonged to both of them. How could she unilaterally decide its fate?

Meanwhile, on the film set.

The moment Clara Grant finished shooting a scene, a staff member came over to tell her that Seth Quinn had arrived and was waiting for her in the dressing room.

She froze slightly. What day was it today? Her mother-in-law had just left, and now Seth was here. Had they planned this? Or was it merely a coincidence?

"Clara, what’s wrong? Are you so thrilled to hear President Quinn is here that you’re stunned stupid?" the staff member joked, seeing her standing there in a daze.

Clara snapped back to reality, quickly putting on a smile and nodding. "Oh, I’ll head over right now."

When she reached the dressing room and pushed the door open, she saw Seth standing motionless in front of the vanity, his back to the door. For some reason, looking at his rigid silhouette, an ominous feeling suddenly flashed through Clara’s mind.

But she didn’t dwell on it. She quickened her pace, stepped up behind him, and stood on her tiptoes to gently tap his shoulder. "Seth," she called out with a smile.

Seth didn’t react. He remained standing there, not even turning his head.

Clara frowned in confusion and called out again, hesitantly this time. "Seth?"

This time, Seth finally moved. Two seconds later, he slowly turned his head to look at her.

Meeting his gaze, a wave of panic washed over Clara. She couldn’t help but stumble over her words. "S-Seth, what’s... what’s wrong?"

Seth’s eyes were sharp yet laced with sorrow. Staring intently at Clara, he slowly raised the phone in his hand and said, enunciating every word, "Someone called you just now."
