No Way Out
“Brandon, I’m sorry.”
“What?”
Brandon, who was getting changed, could not wrap his head around what he just heard.
Willow continued to stare at him quietly. “I mean, I’m sorry for making your life a mess this past year.”
Brandon was confused.
Is there something wrong with her brain? Or is she trying to torture me with her new move?
Brandon retracted his gaze and said, “All right. Just stop messing around and stay here and get some
rest if you want to.”
He was about to leave after getting changed, but Willow stopped him again.
“Brandon, I’ve made an appointment with the doctor, and the surgery can be done tomorrow. I’ll go
back to Clear after that. I promise I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Her tone was utterly cold and emotionless.
Brandon finally halted his feet and turned around. He seemed utterly displeased as their eyes met.
“What are you talking about, Willow? What is this madness again?”
“I’m not mad. I couldn’t be soberer after all these years. Brandon, it was all my fault. I shouldn’t have
come into your life back then. I’m sorry for ruining your life. I hope you’ll go back to being that bright
young man after I disappear from your life.”
Willow looked out the window, her expression utterly calm.
Brandon froze.
After a moment, he walked slowly toward Willow.
“What’s wrong with you? Did you become dumb after getting scolded by my mom? What do you mean
by making an appointment with the doctor? Are you planning to abort the child?”
He looked down at Willow’s belly while speaking.
Did I hear it wrong? Isn’t that what she meant? She’s planning to abort the seven-month-old baby, isn’t
she?
His shoulders heaved as he tried to suppress his rage.
However, Willow’s next sentence made him even more pissed.
“Yes, I don’t want the baby anymore. In fact, it’s not even yours. I just wanted to be with you back then,
so I went for in vitro fertilization. In fact, we’ve never had sex.”
At once, silence engulfed the room.
She’s truly mad!
Brandon’s eyes were scarlet. After coming to his senses, he smashed everything in the room and
disappeared.
It was already the following day when Solomon heard about the news. By that time, Willow had already
arrived at the hospital.
“Willow, are you really crazy? Do you need me to hire a psychologist to check on you? Are you aware
of what you are doing? Do you know how insane this is?” Solomon exploded when he finally found
Willow.
Willow burst into tears, behaving just like last time when Solomon picked her up from the Emmanuel
residence.
She would never hide her true feelings from him.
“Yes, I’m crazy. I don’t even know what I’m doing. What have I done all these years? I’m even
disgusted with my existence right now. Do you know what I’m saying?”
She bawled her eyes out, completely losing control.
Solomon calmed himself down and took Willow away forcefully.
He could never allow her to abort a seven-month-old infant.
Soon, the news reached Sasha, who was in Jadeborough. She was so livid that she scolded on the
phone, “Willow, what exactly are you doing? Are you nuts?”
There was a long silence before Willow’s voice was heard.
“Nancy, I was wrong.”
“Huh?” Sasha was dazed. “What do you mean?” She thought Willow was reflecting on her misbehavior
over the years.
Willow’s mind seemed to have wandered off again as she stood at the balcony of Hillside Villa and
looked at Solomon and Ichika who were mowing the lawn in the garden.
“Everything’s wrong!” she exclaimed.
In the end, Solomon had to force Willow to stay with him. And since that day, Brandon did not show
himself again.
Half a month went by. Before Solomon headed back to the office, he especially reminded Ichika to
keep an eye on Willow.
Ichika obeyed him entirely as she accompanied Willow the whole time.
“Willow, what would you like to eat? I’ll go get it for you.”
“I would like to go for a walk. Will that be okay?” Willow made a request.
However, Ichika rejected her without hesitation upon remembering what Solomon had instructed.
“Solomon said you can’t go out. Don’t worry. I’ll bring you anywhere you like after the child is born,
okay?” Ichika tried to comfort Willow.
Willow did not respond.
After a long while, when Ichika was about to go out, she heard Willow uttering as she walked past the
garden. “I think it’s best if you let me go. Or else your family will be in danger.”
“What?”
Ichika turned around right away. She looked at Willow in bewilderment and broke out in a cold sweat.
