Chapter 124: You Are Such A Scum
She felt anxiety because two days before the divorce, they did have intercourse. He requested the birth control pill because he did not want to have children with her. Now thinking back about herself, she felt she was a brainless idiot doing everything for this scum.
"What if I tell you that I changed it?" He kept staring at her without emotion. Cathryn felt her anger was frozen. After a long while, she realized her legs were not in her control, and Grace took her weight before she fell.
In her mind, all the moments with Keith came through, she felt cold, and her lips shivered.
Grace felt her pregnant friend was slipping down, she cried out as she looked up.
"You are such a scum! What the hell are you doing!?"
"The baby is mine," Cathryn murmured, disregarding what the two others were trying to say. She whispered, "Not yours, not Keith's, just mine."
Seeing her mood stabilized, Jordan was out of his wits. He managed to answer, "You can rest assured now. I used to be a scum, it's true. It was my bad, you can say whatever you want about me, I'm sorry. But now, Cathryn, I am really in love with you. I love you like crazy. I beg you, give me a chance, I will take care of you and... and our child."
For her, Jordan had lost most of his pride, and he was already frustrated. Now he was basically throwing away all his plans and strategies but letting his sensibility come out of his mouth.
"Fuck, off." Cathryn, who has never said a bad word, cursed. "Don't ever see me again in this lifetime, that would be the greatest makeup for me!"
She then turned to her friend and asked for a taxi, and added, "I want to go home."
Grace nodded and held back her flared nostrils, "I'm going with you!"
When Keith got a call from Cathryn, he had just got the travel guide ready. After Cathryn had picked that town, he investigated the local treats and other high-rated sites.
The town is not too far from Douglas City, and Keith was ready to drive by car. Catherine had prepared their luggage, and Keith was going to pick her up and head directly to the town.
He parked nearby the apartment as fast as possible and walked into the building. It was the second time he was here when Grace's place was broken before. Following his memory, he knocked at the front door. To his surprise, the door was opened by a soft-looking young man.
Keith's outstanding elegance instantly brought Hale who he was. After a second, in awe, the man greeted the visitor and asked.
"They just went downstairs. I just saw them talking to someone in front of a black car, wasn't that you?"
Hale had worked overtime for a whole night. He could hardly keep his eyes open when he noticed his careless girlfriend had left without the key and went to the window to see if she was coming back soon.
In the blink of an eye, the girl didn't come up, but here was this enormous stranger.
Hearing Hale's inquiry, Keith recalled the car Jordan Riggs was driving. An impatience rose in his heart, he thought that Jordan might have come directly to Cathryn since he couldn't get anything out of him.
If Jordan knew that Cathryn was pregnant, he wouldn't let go of her. Now that there was no one downstairs, Cathryn would be absolutely impossible to go with Jordan. But Grace was gone, too. Where would they go?
Keith stood there for a long while and suddenly looked Hale in the eye and asked, "Can you do me a favor?"
Keith and Cathryn have been living together for a long time, and Cathryn trusts him now more than ever. Should Jordan be doing anything, Cathryn would notice him. But now, she just disappeared without a word; apparently, she did not want him to find her.
Grace did not return either, she apparently had left with Cathryn. It would be more effective if Hale contacted his girlfriend.
As a police officer, Hale had a professional vigilance. He sat his visitor down and waited and sent a text message to Grace, telling him the fact that Keith was here and put what Keith told him to her and made it clear that he was on her side for anything.
The two girls are waiting at the train station. The city has a special high-speed rail channel to Jonathan City, and the next train is leaving soon. They bought the tickets and got on the shuttle immediately.
Cathryn never said a word since they got out of the taxi. Now holding her belly and staring down at the train floor, she was in deep reflection.
Sighed, Grace returned a message.
"Tell him Cathryn is going to see her parents. Something happened; she needs some time."
Hale showed him the message, and Keith was silent. His eyes were calm, though. After a long while, he thanked the host and left.
****
Grace wanted to travel with Cathryn to her home city, but she went downstairs without her ID and therefore could not buy a ticket. To rest assured, Cathryn forced herself to smile as joyfully as possible and told her that there was absolutely no problem for her to go alone. She got on the train holding a smile until her face instantly collapsed as she sat down.
It was only four hours by train to her parents' city. Cathryn's seat was by the window, and on her side was a young couple sitting together and holding a baby who was at most a year old.
The baby was in her most lovely time. She was babbling all the time, "mommy" and "daddy" was her random attempts uttered with a cute baby sound. The young couple kept laughing with the kind passengers who tried to do their job.
Cathryn's mood was relaxed as she touched her stomach.
The young mother next to her saw Cathryn was pregnant and tried her best to take care of her. In an empathy of being a mother, she kindly introduced Cathryn to her baby and trained the little doll together to call her name.
"Aunt...A...Aunt… Kai..." The little one uttered her baby voice, the chubby little face was softly bulging like mochi.
