Chapter 7

Adam gazed at me with concern. "Did I cause you pain when I embraced you? I apologize, Helena. I'll be more mindful in the future."

"Adam, this isn't necessary. We've been together for years. Please focus on your own well-being and refrain from embracing others," I responded casually.

Adam became agitated. He stood once more and protested, "No, I can't do that. I'm unable to forget you. You may end my life, but don't push me away."

He embraced me again and kissed me. I couldn't endure it any longer and struck him.

Irritated, I said, "I have a fear of germs. I can't accept a man who was unfaithful and impregnated another woman. You're too unclean for me."

Adam crumpled to the ground, yelling and shaking his head violently.

"I've instructed Kelly to terminate the pregnancy and end her life. I won't repeat this error. Can you give me another opportunity? Allow me to make amends."
