Suddenly , Lila's sweet voice rang out at the door as she cheerfully threw herself into Ethan Campbell's arms . " Baby ! You're gonna be a dad ! " She held up her ultrasound report , smiling brightly . " I'm pregnant . " Ethan froze , every muscle locking mid - motion . " You're so shocked you can't even move ? " Lila pouted , tapping his chest . Her smile faded , and her eyes welled with tears . " Or is it … you're not happy I'm pregnant ? Are you still thinking about her ? " " No , no . Of course not , " Ethan snapped out of it , fumbling his words . " I'm just - surprised . I'm gonna be a dad … " He lifted her into his arms , eyes turning red from emotion . His overwhelmed expression looked almost childlike . Ashley Whitmore had never seen Ethan like this . Her hand instinctively went to her stomach . She remembered the disgust on his face when he thought she was pregnant - and the pain tore through her like a dull blade , shaking her to the core . His love - the glaring absence of it - had never been clearer . Thank God she didn't love him anymore . "Let's go , " Ethan said , unable to hide his excitement . " We'll head back to Arlington Heights and tell our families . " He carried Lila out without sparing Ashley a glance . Lila leaned on his shoulder , casting a smug look back at Ashley . Alone in the empty hospital room , Ashley stood frozen , tears silently spilling down her cheeks . That very day , she made an appointment to terminate the pregnancy . She couldn't bring an unwanted child into this world - not when she couldn't even trust Ethan and Lila to Chapter 6 30.00 % IHABLAY CONECTATE POR VIDEO EN Tango- Live Stream , Vide … 11.92m ) | Tango Learn More be decent people . " I'm sorry , baby , " she whispered . " Mommy can't let you be born into a life like this . " Ashley's procedure was scheduled for three days later . She requested an early discharge - just a few days left before leaving the country , and she had things to wrap up . First , she submitted her official resignation to the clinic . Then she returned to her apartment and began packing . That tiny one - bedroom once brimmed with traces of their life together . Everything came in pairs - from toothbrushes to slippers . Even though he hadn't been back in a long time , his presence still lingered in every corner . Ashley packed up his belongings and threw them out . Then she began dismantling everything that held meaning . She took down the custom wedding puzzle . She loved puzzles , and Ethan had once ordered a jigsaw of their wedding photo from SnapPuzzle . They had spent three sleepless nights putting it together - only to discover one piece missing . That missing piece ? The part over his heart . Maybe it was fate . A silent sign that his heart was never hers . She burned the scarf Ethan had knitted for her . Back when he'd lost his memory and had no job , he'd taken to knitting scarves to pass the time . He made ninety - nine of them . Ashley had once thought it was for her . But seeing Lila wearing the exact same design later on , she realized - Ethan had been perfecting his stitches for Lila all along . Two full days passed before Ashley finally cleared out the apartment . The day before her procedure , she received a call from the clinic . There was a case handoff that required Chapter 6 30.00 % IHABLAY CONECTATE POR VIDEO EN Tango- Live Stream , Vide … ( 1.92m ) | Tango Learn More her presence . When she arrived , she was greeted by the last people she wanted to see : Ethan and Lila . Lila had originally been her patient . Now , she insisted Ashley finish her treatment plan . " I'm so sorry , Ms. Whitmore , " her coworker whispered , nearly in tears . " I know you resigned , but they're demanding it … If you want , I'll quit . I don't care anymore . " " It's alright . I'll handle it , " Ashley forced a smile . This colleague had always supported her - offering flexible work when she needed extra money . Besides , proper resignations required proper handoffs . She brought in two cups of warm water and entered the consultation room , putting on a professional smile . " Mrs. Campbell . How can I assist you today ? " Lila sat smugly , one hand resting on her still - flat belly . " My contract's not over yet . You're obligated to continue my sessions . Starting now , I want 24 - hour emotional care . Pregnancy stress relief . Personal support . " " I'm sorry , Mrs. Campbell , " Ashley replied evenly . " That request is outside my professional scope . " " I don't care ! " Lila turned to Ethan . " You promised she could be my dog ! " Ethan's face twitched . Ashley hadn't even looked at him since entering , and for some reason , that irritated him . He hated how indifferent she was now . " Then have the clinic change its service policy . Or none of these people will work in this industry again . " His words stabbed straight into Ashley's heart . She knew all too well - Ethan would do anything to please Lila . Ashley remained silent . Ethan pulled out his phone and dialed .
