Charlie's Threat

After chatting with Arthur in the hospital lobby, Charlie said goodbye to his best friend and went back to the mansion. About half an hour later, he arrived at the mansion and immediately met Andy who at that time was putting some clothes and other equipment into his backpack.

Charlie approached his son, without hesitation he slapped Andy very hard. Charlie widened his eyes and shouted at Andy while pointing at the black backpack, "You insolent, Andy! What are you doing?! Are you going to get out of this house for Elizabeth and marry her?!"

"I am not leaving the mansion! I am tidying up my clothes because I am going to accompany Elizabeth for a few days at the hospital!" Andy stared blankly at his father.

"Why are you accompanying that woman?! Remember Andy, you will soon marry Miss Luna! You can't meet Elizabeth again!" Charlie snapped, his emotions running to the top of his head.

"Don't force me to obey Father's wishes! I don't know Luna and don't love her!" said Andy.

"Apparently you dared to go against Daddy!! Well, if you still want to be with your lover that's fine, but let's see what I do to Elizabeth and the baby." Charlie smiled devilishly.

Hearing his father say that, Andy's face immediately changed. He was stunned for a moment, his eyes narrowed, his face also pale. Andy swallowed a few times, while Charlie looked at his son with a cruel and sadistic look.

"I beg of you, Dad. Don't hurt Elizabeth and our future child ... they are innocent," Andy pleaded, then he knelt in front his father. Slowly, tears trickled down Andy's face.

"Now make your choice! Are you going to accept Luna as your wife or are you going to keep in touch with that woman?! If you choose her, maybe I will kill her with my own hands or torture her slowly and make her insane. How about it, My Son ??" Andy lowered his head as Charlie spoke to him, then Charlie bent down in front of Andy, lifted his son's face, and grinned at Andy.

"Please ... don't do that to Elizabeth ..." Andy sobbed as he grabbed his father's leg.

"If you want her and your future child to live, you must marry Arthur's daughter! After Jessica recovers and the doctor allows her to go home, Dad and Arthur will hold an engagement ceremony for you and Miss Luna first," Charlie confirmed.

Andy shrank his tears, he was forced to accept Charlie's decision for the good of Elizabeth and the baby she was carrying.

"Al--alright ... I will choose Miss Luna as my wife. I promise I won't have anything to do with Elizabeth again," Andy added quietly.

Charlie smiled with satisfaction that Andy had finally complied with his wish even though he knew that Andy had to do it for a woman whose social status was different from the Ferdinand Family.

*****

At Shepard Hospital, Elizabeth was eating the food that Andy had bought for her. Even though her appetite was reduced and the nausea was constantly bothering her, she couldn't help but eat piece by piece of meat sandwich and some vegetables in it.

Elizabeth was not alone in her room, Kelly-Elizabeth's mother accompanied her daughter while occasionally stroking Elizabeth's head gently.

"Elizabeth, you have to eat a lot so that your body doesn't go limp like before. Don't forget to take the vitamins that the doctor gave you," said Kelly, who was then nodded by Elizabeth.

Kelly didn't know that Elizabeth was being treated not because she was weak and she had been vomiting this morning, but because her stomach hurt from her fear of Charlie. She didn't tell her mother about Andy's dad coming to the hotel while she was making out with Andy. Elizabeth didn't want to make her mother sad and worried for her.

"Honey, in a few months your stomach will be getting bigger. When will Andy introduce you to his family??" Kelly asked, her voice agitated because until now Andy had not reunited Elizabeth with Charlie's parents and sister.

Elizabeth shook her head slowly while chewing the food that tasted bland in her mouth.

"Actually, Mom and Dad didn't mind that you were pregnant with Andy's child, but your grandparents urged Mom to order you to abort if Andy doesn't want to take responsibility for what he has done to you," Kelly took a deep breath.

Elizabeth just silently listened to her mother's words, she didn't know what to say about her uncertain future relationship with Andy.

'Mom, I won't abort my baby even if Andy doesn't marry me.' Elizabeth thought.
