The Morgan family accepted Roxy and Rian as they were and gave them their freedom to choose how they want to lead their life.
The next day, Aria and Alan went to work as usual from the Morgan mansion. Fidgety during work rembering Alan repeatedly stressing that she should visit a gynecologist, she went alone to confirm her pregnancy so that she doesn't give false hopes to anybody.
Unexpectedly she t Winston Wen, Finn's uncle at the entrance of the hospital. He called the intern doctor who works under him and pointed to Aria, "Make sure President Copper doesn't have to wait."
Aria always felt him as cold and unapproachable compared to anybody she t so it was a little surprising to hear it, "Professor Wen, thank you but it's not required. I have an appointnt."
Winston's cold gaze moved on her face, he was still for a few seconds before asking, "Which departnt are you going to?"
Aria badly wanted to lie but "the Gynecology departnt." She was expecting him to nod and leave ignoring her but he gave off a freezing air with a hint of anger, "Where is your husband?"
There are two n who she unknowingly gets afraid of, Vince Fang's grandfather and Winston Wen. She hadn't done anything to them but she unintentionally wanted to avoid them.
"He doesn't know I am here." She said avoiding his eyes feeling guilty for not calling Alan.
Winston watched her in silence trying to discern what was going on in her head before he spoke, "Your mother knew her heart problem when she was pregnant with you. She hid it from her husband misunderstanding your growth will be affected by heart treatnt. Are you going to repeat a similar mistake? Good or Bad, your husband has all the right to know it, don't hide to keep him away from sorrow."
He strode away right after it without caring how his words affected her. She didn't know if she should call her mother stupid or bla herself. Her eyes filled in and jaws quivered when she tried to control her tears from dropping down.
Her trembling hands reached her mobile and pressed the first-speed dial and cried out as soon as it was answered, "Alan..."
The voice at another end of the call was stiff and she could feel he was already leaving the place quickly, [Where are you?]
"Imperial Hospital."
[Stay right there, I am coming.] This was the ti Alan hated staying on the higher floor which consus more ti to go downstairs.
Aria humd and hung up the call silently sniffling trying to compose herself. If she wasn't born, wouldn't her mother get the treatnt and be alive? Her mind was a ss she failed to sort out things on her own. The more she tried to clear her thought, it was strangled more.
She was going aside to sit but the intern doctor spoke, "President Cooper, this way for the Gynec departnt."
She nodded and blindly followed him when her head was in a complete ss. Since she had taken an appointnt, she went straight to the middle-aged doctor who already knew her appointnt.
"President Cooper." She noticed her lost in thought and pale face, "President Cooper, are you alright?"
Aria forced a faint smile and spoke, "Hello Doctor, thank you for taking your ti out for ."
The doctor smiled nodding her head and Aria continued, "I missed my periods for four days which hadn't happened previously. It hasn't been twenty days since we decided on having a baby. Sunday I got positive when I tested. So I want to confirm."
The doctor looked behind her and asked, "President Cooper, where is your husband?"
Aria's guilt of hiding from Alan increased again, "He will reach soon." She understood her mistake too late.
The doctor nodded and opened a file taking a pen, "President Cooper, according to your data, it's been only two weeks hence you have to go for a urine pregnancy test. Please confirm if you are facing any of these, Moodiness?"
Aria thought about how sensitive her mood is and nodded, "Yeah."
"Nausea or vomiting?" Doctor asked, Aria responded with a word, "Nope." After the Doctor asked a few questions, she sent Aria for blood and Urine tests.
After completing the procedure, she had just sat in the private waiting room prepared for her when Alan rushed inside. "Aria..." He had lots of theories in the head from unable to conceive to other health problems when he sped on the road to quickly reach her.
Aria looked at him and cried apologizing first, "Alan... I am sorry, I... I should have... ca with you... I am sorry."
"Shhh... It's alright..." He hugged her, caressing her head. He continued to coax her without knowing the real reason behind it.
Seeing her still continue after ten minutes, he pulled her away from his embrace and cupped her face, "If we can't have a baby, we will not have one. Or we can..."
Aria cut in as she sniffled, "I am two weeks pregnant."
"Huh?" Alan was confused and asked back, prioritizing her over pregnancy, "Why are you crying then?"
She again started weeping, saying between sobs, "I don't know. I want to cry..." It was her mother's choice of her life so Aria knew she didn't do anything but she didn't know why she was feeling down and crying.
Alan thought back to Eva who was crying and saw Aria who continued to cry. He had read the pregnancy woman's mood will be all over the place so he hugged her back trying to coax her to stop tiring herself.
When she had tested in the hotel, she was excited and happy to know about it so things didn't fall in place, and Alan asked, "Honey, did anything happen?"
Then Aria recounted to him whatever Winston Wen told her, what was happening in her mind and why couldn't she calm herself. Alan wanted to search for Winston, break his head, and throw his brain for sharks but coaxed her saying her repeated apologies weren't required while she went on telling sorry and crying again.
"Aria, stop crying and listen to ..." He caught her attention and continued wiping her tears away, "If you ask , Mom took the right decision..."
Aria cut in feeling helpless, "Can you see anything other than ?"
Alan bobbed her head, "Hear out... 23 years back there was no heart transplant, if she had tried to save herself removing you, she would have gone through many operations, therapies, and more painful days, there was no chance she could have lived more than 5 years. Imagine how she would have felt if she had aborted you and also losing her life? She left behind you for Dad else he would have been all alone having no one."
"Oh!" Aria exclaid and went to his arms, "I don't like professor Wen. He is so an to every ti."
Alan sounded hesitant when he revealed years old news, "Mom Emily is Professor Wen's first and last love." He had got to know when he had Aria's custody and he was trying to know how Aria was.
Aria: "..." Now she understood the reason behind the care-hate attitude of Winston Wen towards her.
