My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1402

"She's that child I told you about earlier. Her name is Abby. Let her stay with us for a few days first," I said.

He nodded and said with a sigh, "You brought her here. Do you have any plans for the future?"

I shook my head. To be honest, I didn't know what to do. I never refused to bring her here just because I saw her parents' attitude toward Susan and the other children. I knew that with my limited ability, I would not be able to help them much. All I could do was to bring Abby away from that place.

When Hendrix saw the expression on my face, he didn't say anything more. Turning around, he headed into the kitchen and said, "Go and wash your hands. I've made some of your favorite dishes. Let's see if they suit your taste."

I was surprised when I heard that, and led Abby to the kitchen. Hendrix brought out the dishes that he left in the warmer and put them on the table. They were all my favorite. I took Abby to wash her hands and helped her get seated at the dining table.

My phone rang. It was a call from Pedro. I froze for a moment and then realized that Sheridan must have told him everything.

I answered the phone and said, "Dad, have you had dinner yet?"

He mumbled in reply and said, "Sheridan told me about the child you brought back. She is only five years old. I know that you are soft-hearted, but Anne's condition is deteriorating. The cancer cells are spreading quickly. If she doesn't have the operation as soon as possible, I'm afraid that all her internal organs will be damaged. At that point, we really have to exchange life for a life. Although the child is young, I have already discussed with your mother and we decided that we will bring her to Jarold City after the operation, and give her parents a sum of money. Your mother and I will raise her. With the Moore Family's wealth, we can afford to raise another child. If she gets ill in the future, we will treat her. Arianna, you can't be indecisive at such a critical moment!"

Pedro's words were right and reasonable. However, if I really did this, I would definitely feel guilty for this child for the rest of my life.
