"Ah, why are you asking so many questions?" Renee sighed wearily. "All you need to know is that there


    isn''t any child. That''s it." "So, you''re pregnant, but you don''t want the child. Am I right?" Leia stubbornly


    asked.

    "Yeah, I''m pregnant, but I don''t want the child. Dr. Wagner will help me abort the child right away. Just...


    help me handle Stefan. Don''t let him find out." Renee realized she couldn''t keep it from Leia, so she


    told her the truth. Maybe Leia could help take care of her after the surgery.


    "What? You want an abortion?" Leia''s eyes grew wide in bewilderment. "It''s been only a few days but


    you''ve changed so much. Weren''t you very happy a while back? Didn''t you want to have the child?"


    "People change. You weren''t there when I gave birth to the twins, and I agree with you. It''s exhausting


    for women to have babies and get pregnant. I don''t want to suffer through that again," Renee lied to


    Leia.


    "I see. It''s alright, I''ll support you!" Leia dered. As expected, Renee had easily brainwashed Leia. "I


    understand. Men are just ythings and scumbags. Women shouldn''t have to risk their lives to give


    birth to babies forthem. Men have it easy-they get to be fathers without any pain. If they like


    children, all they have to do is y with them. If not, they''ll just ignore them and leave everything to the


    women to handle. In the end, children will bind US women, so I''ll support you if you don''t want this


    baby!" "Pfft! You didn''t think so before this. What''s gotten into you?" Renee snorted in amusement. Leia


    was certainly different, which Renee thought might be a result of her sheltered upbringing. It was also


    the reason why they were best friends. Stefan might not understand Renee''s decision, but Leia could


    and would support her either way.


    "No, I understood it clearly just now," Leia said softly, clenching her fists in pain. She had been naive-


    she had fantasized about being with Xavier and having his children, and then they could be a happy


    family like Renee and Stefan. However, after tonight, she had be wiser. She was a victim, and


    people had humiliated and hurt her, but Xavier saw her as the violent


    abuser instead. Her defenses crumbled the moment Xavier protected Shirley, and that was when she


    realized that men could easily change. Women shouldn’t have to risk their lives and give birth to


    children just to keep their rtionships going.


    "Did you argue with Xavier again?" Renee knew her best friend well, and gently asked her.


    "No, I ended things with him." A long sigh escaped Leia. "He made a choice tonight... He gave me up."
