Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 384

When Andrea arrived at the chapel, she headed straight to Carmen's living quarters.

It was already pretty late by the time she arrived. Carmen was still doing her laundry in the yard and was the only one there.

Looking at Carmen, Andrea had the impression that she was not someone who had lived a lavish life before this. Carmen looked a little too plain—hanging from the thin laundry lines were several pieces of gray clothes.

Joanne had shown her Carmen's photo before, so she knew it was her.

Right away, Andrea ran over and kneeled down in front of her.

"Mrs. Lambert, I am Liam's girlfriend. I'm pregnant with his child. Grace is forcing me to go to the hospital to have this baby aborted.

"Please help me. I really like Liam and I want to keep the baby."

It had been a while since Carmen had gotten herself involved with the matters in Druville. The moment she heard these words, she slowly stopped what she was doing.

Andrea's eyes were swollen from crying. It really did seem like her feelings for Liam were genuine.

Carmen paused for a few seconds before she looked at Andrea's stomach. "What did you say?"

Andrea rubbed her eyes really hard, saying, "I'm pregnant with Liam's child. You're going to be a grandmother."

At this age, Carmen would want nothing more than to have grandchildren. Nevertheless, she was still clear-headed. Liam was still at a very young age.

Without saying a word, Carmen continued washing her clothes.

Andrea became a little panicked. If Carmen was not going to do anything about it, she would have made this trip in vain.

"Mrs. Lambert, Liam and I are both young. We got drunk, and one thing led to another… My period is late.

"That's how I know I'm pregnant. I'll keep a distance from Liam. All I want is to keep the baby.

"I did not come from a good family and my parents don't love me. I got to experience love from Liam and this child, so I'm begging you."

She fell to the floor, banging her head on the ground as she began to sob violently, to the point where her entire body started shaking. "I begged Grace, but she's just so heartless. When I opened my eyes, I was already at the hospital."

Carmen stopped what she was doing. When she saw the blood on the floor, she could not help but feel sorry for Andrea.

"Does Liam like you?" she asked.

"Yes! He's your son, you'd know him well. He's a responsible man.

"But he worries about what Grace thinks and I'm worried that she'll influence his decision. Please help me, Mrs. Lambert. All you have to do is speak to Grace on my behalf and tell her that you've given me permission to keep the baby.

"I won't ever bother you again. I really have no other choice."

Andrea was a really good actress, and she was especially good at melodrama.

Carmen wiped her hands. Her gaze fell on Andrea's belly.

She only got up after some time. "Let's go. Let us go to Liam."

Andrea's eyes lit up as her mouth curled into a smirk.

She personally drove Carmen out of that place, taking her to where Liam was at.

Carmen felt comforted as she looked at the cup in front of her.

Not knowing what he could talk about, he blurted out, "Alice is in a vegetative state. She'll never wake up ever again."

In an instant, the cup fell from Carmen's hand onto the floor, shattering into pieces.

Liam pulled a wry smile. "You want to hear what's happened to me, right? I've been infected. It's all thanks to Alice."

Carmen literally almost passed out. She could feel the world around her beginning to warp and shift.

Liam bent down and started picking up the shattered pieces of glass. "I'm just scared that you'll quarrel with Grace again. With Dad gone, the only people I care about are you and Grace.

"Could you guys not fight anymore? I'll be devastated if Grace leaves me."

Carmen's body started to tremble as she held onto Andrea for support.

Immediately, Andrea cut in and said, "Liam, are you saying you don't care about me?"

Liam ignored her. Instead, he continued telling Carmen everything. "My life in here has been hell everyday.

"What pains me more is seeing our family like this. But these are the results of the seeds you planted in the past, Mom."

Carmen lifted a hand to her forehead. She looked like she was about to pass out. It was at this moment that Grace entered the room.

When Liam saw her, his eyes lit up. However, the light left as quickly as it came when he remembered something.
