Chapter 790
Yvonne took quick action to make arrangements for Melanie to have a check–up in another hospital. She made an appointment with her cousin that very night.
Before Melanie could say anything about it, Yvonne had already told her the appointment time. Melanie gently touched her stomach.
Her stomach was still quite flat. Her condition was different from other pregnant women.
“It won’t help to overthink things. At the very least, you can be sure of one thing. You can’t bear to lose this baby.” Reny suddenly patted Melanie’s arm. “Have some faith. Things might not be as bad as you think.”
However, someone unexpected made an appearance before Melanie could go to her doctor’s appointment.
Cedric had called her on the phone to meet her.
He was curt with his words and left her no room for rejection.
Melanie was extra careful with Cedric’s invitation.
He was not like Stella. Cedric was someone who gave deeper thoughts to things and was ruthlessly decisive. He had accumulated years of experience to be the powerful and influential person he was
now.
When Melanie was still working with LeapCo and visited the Scotts, she would never engage Cedric unless it was absolutely necessary.
Cedric was already waiting for her when she arrived at the agreed location. Someone who looked like his secretary was standing next to him.
He did not waste any time with small talk when he saw Melanie. He pointed at the medical report on his table and said, “Your baby is malformed. Are you really planning to give birth to it?”
Melanie suddenly raised her eyes to look at Cedric.
There was a rigid, somber look on his face. “I don’t want to be wasting any time. You know what I want. Abort the baby and leave Jepton.”
He was still the same with his authoritative tone. He did not give her the chance to say anything.
Melanie looked at the medical report on the table. This was her report for the Down syndrome screening test. She felt like she was about to suffocate when she saw the data once more.
However, Melanie forced herself to calm down. “I have no idea what you’re trying to tell me, Mr.
Scott.”
“You said it yourself that the child isn’t Eugene’s
If that’s the case, there’s no point keeping it when it isn’t a healthy baby anyway.” Cedric stared at her with eagle eyes. It was frighteningly intimidating.

He continued, “You’re still very young and have a bright future ahead. There’s no point wasting time. over this, don’t you think?”
He sounded like he was advising her, but he spoke in a superior manner that was putting slight pressure on her.

Melanie slowly clenched her fists. She took a deep breath before saying slowly, “Mr. Scott, since yo know that this isn’t Eugene’s baby, it means that the baby’s condition has nothing to do with you. You have no right to ask anything about it or tell me what to do.”
Cedric frowned, looking annoyed. He looked grimly at Melanie. “It’s a businessman’s nature to mitigate risk. You should learn it too!”
He gave his secretary a look after saying this.
The secretary placed a photocopy of a document in front of Melanie.
Melanie looked at the date on the contract. It was two months after she joined LeapCo a few years ago.
Her eyelid suddenly twitched for some reason.
She flopped open the contract, and her face began to turn pale. Her eyes widened, and her bewilderment turned into disbelief.
Cedric was satisfied with her reaction. An arrogant look appeared on his face. He asked Melanie,
Have you learned your lesson? With this contract, I’m fully capable of putting you in prison for life!”
He tapped on the medical report and said in a frosty tone, “Being served by the court or that malformed baby inside you… You know what to choose if you’re smart enough.”
His voice was dark and eerie. He was very clear with his intentions.
