Chapter 278 He Replaced You

• I was completely ignorant, completely clueless.
• I self-righteously accused Roy McGowan of doubting the paternity of the child. I called him heartless and said so many cruel and chilling words. All because he made a choice. He chose not to have the child, not to subject me to even greater trauma.
• When James Schwartz saw that I remained silent, only crying, he spoke again, "Shelly, Roy McGowan's biggest regret in life is that he was with you when he had a migraine attack. He didn't consider your well-being, and he didn't anticipate the price you would pay for that night. I also advised him later on. He has already quit drugs. As long as he is completely healthy and his sperm quality is good, it's not too late for him to have a child. But he said he supports you in giving birth to that child, no matter what the child looks like, because it's his own flesh and blood, and it's all part of fate. Roy McGowan also asked me not to tell you, fearing that it would burden you psychologically and be detrimental to the child. It was my decision to take the risk, it was selfish of us adults, and it was irresponsible to the child, so I told Nancy Watson in that way."
