"Calm down, Yuliana." Zaysen asked, "You are very well known here. What if someone finds out?"
Yuliana hadn't thought of that.
He was right!
Nashaland's policies had always been pro-life.
Anyone who wanted to terminate their pregnancies at any hospital had to show their identity card and a written form of consent.
If she went to a hospital, people would know!
She couldn't go to one!
She couldn't!
She had to do it in another country!
Other countries weren't against it, not like in Nashaland.
She would get rid of this baby in another country.
Yuliana told Zaysen her plan.
Zaysen then asked, "But Yuliana, why can't we keep the baby? It's the product of our love after all."
Yuliana screamed, "Are you crazy?! I am Zorion's wife! I am now pregnant with another man's child! I will hang for this!"
Yuliana slammed the phone back onto the receiver.
Zaysen called Riesa right away.
Riesa sneered and said, "Don't anger her! You need to keep a close eye on her movements. She won't be able to get any help in Nashaland! She will definitely attempt to leave the country, but so long as we know where she's going, she has nowhere to run!"
Yuliana went to speak to Madam Quartley at night.
She asked for permission to go overseas for a holiday.
Madam Quartley allowed her to.
But Madam Quartley hoped that she would take Zorion along with her.
Yuliana couldn't possibly agree to that.
She was going to have to terminate her pregnancy! She wasn't going to take Zorion along forthat!
Yuliana laughed dryly. "Madam Quartley, I'm taking the holiday to clear my head."
Worried that Madam Quartley might change her mind, she quickly added, "Don't worry, I'll only be gone for a few days. I'll be back to accompany
Zorion right after."
Madam Quartley thought to herself, "She probably wants to relax after how hard I've been on her. I suppose this is reasonable."
