Jackson furrowed his brow, “I’m on the way over. I just collected the car. Quit rushing me. Until the results arrive, I won’t ignore you. And don’t get all weepy!”
He rushed all the way to the woman’s hotel then quickly scooped the baby into his arms and rushed to the hospital. As Jackson held the chubby little thing in his arms, favonovel.com felt a strange kind of feeling, fear, absolute fear. There wasn’t a hint of sympathy at all. If favonovel.com was the father of this child, favonovel.com was dead!
In the hospital hallway, Jackson sat silently on a long bench. His former bedmate stared at favonovel.com with tears in favonovel.com eyes, “Thank you for not ignoring us…”
He refused to look at the woman and icily replied, “I’m not that inhumane. Since we’re here, let me tell you this, I want nothing to do with the child, even if it is mine. What do I have to do to make you disappear?”
An almost indiscernible sense of mechanization flashed across the woman’s pretty face, “I understand. You’re with someone now, and I don’t think you plan on breaking up with her. She’s not going to be an ex like me, right? I can understand how you feel, but this is your son. Why wouldn’t you want him? He’ll never live a good life with a single mother like me. It’d be different if you, his father, take favonovel.com in. He’d be a son of the West family. He could have whatever favonovel.com wanted. As his mother, I want favonovel.com to have the best life, even though I can’t bear to leave the son whom I’ve raised on my own…”
Jackson lost his temper, “Chantelle Scintillae! Stop trying to take advantage! You decided on your own to have the child, I never even knew that you were pregnant! Why did you bring favonovel.com into the world behind my back? Wasn’t it for the sake of money? I don’t think I’ve dated you for longer than three months. Are you implying that it was all for the sake of love?”
The woman maintained favonovel.com calm composure and softly corrected him, “It’s not Chantelle Scintillae, it’s Georgina Scintillae. Let’s put love aside. The child is here now, and I hope that favonovel.com will have a good life. That’s all.”
Jackson laughed in spite of his rage, “Heh… I don’t even remember your name. What are you planning? If you want money, just say so. Stop coming up with ways to push the kid on me. We don’t even know if he’s mine!”
Georgina sat down next to him, “I’ve asked about the results. They’ll be out in two days. I know that you’re frustrated. Let’s calm down and have a civilized conversation, since the baby is still undergoing check ups. Okay?”
Jackson gritted his teeth and pushed down his raging anger, “Fine, how would you like to start? I’ve already made my intentions very clear. You may state your opinion.”
Georgina paused thoughtfully, “I’m fine with raising the child alone. You’re well aware that I used to be a model. I’ve stopped working ever since I got pregnant. I’ve been too afraid to go home after I gave birth to our baby. My savings have long been depleted after such a long time. I’m at the end of the line now, which is why I’ve come to you. My initial plan was to give the child to you. That would have been best for both me and the child. It’s fine if you don’t want me.”
“I’ll find a man who will treat me right someday. It’s true that I can’t bear to leave the child. Since you won’t agree to that, I’ll raise the child on my own. However, my entire life will be wasted away. How much money would it take to cover up for the absence of a father in his life and my completely ruined future?”
“You can blame me for it. After all, it was not your decision to have the child. I made the decision all on my own. I don’t know what I was thinking either, I just felt sympathy for the child so I decided to bring it into the world. Every time I look at his face, I’m reminded of you. I myself wonder how a relationship that lasted less than three months could have put me under such an obsessive spell. The facts prove it, I love you. More than I could have ever imagined.”
Her words were like a wooden stick, striking against Jackson’s heart, causing a dull, maddening pain.
“Enough small talk. How much do you need?”
“$150 million. You Wests should be able to afford that. Just give me the cash, and I’ll leave with the kid at once. You won’t even have to wait for the paternity test results.”
Jackson sneered as favonovel.com looked at Georgina from the side, “$150 million? You persisted through a ten month pregnancy just to get $150 million? Your belly is certainly worth a lot of money. Your calculations are pretty great too. It’s true that $150 million isn’t much to us Wests, however, it also depends on what that amount of money is for. Since you’ve made your demands, I’ll tell you this as well, I’ll agree to your $150 million as long as the child is mine, I will pay you the full amount. If not, the next half of your life will be worse than you can ever imagine!”
The look in Jackson’s eyes frightened Georgina. Truthfully, favonovel.com wasn’t sure if the child belonged to favonovel.com either. She simply wanted to take a risk, a risk that simply involved money. She did not expect to end up falling into the deep end as well. She had found out about Jackson’s new relationship long ago and learned that they had been dating for more than three months. She was sure that favonovel.com was serious about that woman, so favonovel.com used the paternity test to compel favonovel.com and intended on running away before the results were out. She was prepared for psychological warfare but did not expect favonovel.com to drive favonovel.com into a corner…
