1104 Words
After a lot of thinking and after telling Chris the truth, she decided to tell her father about her pregnancy. She was ready to be scolded and shouted, she was looking how busy her father was in his office room.
"I'm pregnant."
It was like a storm coming on Sunday for David. He was busy preparing documents to close his business in Shanghai and getting ready to join Jiang's family business.
He was in his room, tidying his paper and stuff and his daughter came to the door and said that to him. He turned around to see his daughter, eyes on hers. He approached her with heavy breath, he threw her a death glare.
"Four months."
David held his daughter's hand tightly, dragging her to living room roughly and slamming her very hard on the sofa. "Talk." He sat on the sofa in front of her, kept glaring at his own daughter.
"Chris and I-"
"So, Chris. That rebel boy from your school?" David was super angry at her, in time like this she did a very wrong way.
"Dad, I--"
"He may be the second best at your school but doesn't mean you can have s*x with him freely!" He shouted at her. "Do you think I don't know his father left his mother for another woman, he's a sick man! No wonder he becomes like his father and he ruins you!
My daughter!"
Amber was scared of her own father, she even could see how David mouther a cuss word.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Dad.." She was crying and apologizing.
"Abort it! Just abort it!" He was rough and loud.
"Dad, please no, don't. I don't want to abort it." She protested.
He scoffed, smiled bitterly, "You know I'm broke. I don't have anything! I'm ashamed! I should take their offer to give life to you both! Look at your mother, she is sick, this is the only way. Jiang's family is the only way and you, don't you dare to add more problem to this."
"I'll do anything, Dad but please, just let me give birth to this child." She pleaded to her father.
"You give birth to that child then, what? You wanna raise that child?! With Jiang's family?! Do you think they wanna accept that child?! At least think about your mother! You're out of your mind." He shook his head, he was stressed out already, he was depressed.
He got out from the scene and he headed to somewhere. Mr. Liu cursed in his head as he drove his car alone.
When he was arriving at the venue that he meant, he knocked on the door very harshly. "Chris! Chris Zhou! Open this goddamn door! You son of a b***h!"
As soon as Chris opened the door, he threw his punch to Chris's face. The young guy fell on the floor and Mr. Liu brought him up by his collar and punched him again over and over. "How dare you to do that to my daughter!"
"Mr. Liu, wait, let me explain." Without trying to punch back, he wanted to speak to him.
"No need to explain! I know everything! You ruin everything, you ruin my daughter's future!" He shouted out loud and punched Chris's stomach. "Don't you dare to meet my daughter again! You're just same like your father! No manners! Sick guy!" He screamed and punched him until he fell on the floor again and he bled.
"Stay away from Amber."
After that, he went away from Chris's sight. He planned everything after that. He thought it would be easy bringing all his family to America now, but there was another obstacle that he had to get rid of. It was his own grandchild.

"I heard somewhere, Amber's pregnant."
"NO WAY!"
"She's always number one, there's no way she would do something stupid like that."
"But if it's true, who do you think it is?"
"Well, who else? There's only one guy."
"I can't believe it."
"I mean Chris wants to be number one in this school by making her pregnant so that, he can get rid of her from this school."
"Nice theory."
"No wonder Chris is a crazy guy. His gene came from his psychotic father."
The rumors were spreading like wildfire, it came to Chris's ears in the morning, he could feel their cold gaze to his figure when he was entering his classroom.
Three days ago Amber's father came to his house and finished him off. After that, he tried to call Amber but he got no answer, he tried to go to her house but her house was already empty.
Amber was dropped out of school, leaving Chris behind. He thought she had gone away along with their child and decided to raise their child alone without him. He thought her parents accepted her pregnancy and they loved their grandchild.
Five months had passed, he graduated from his school and it wasn't a surprise when he got first as top student. He couldn't do it if Amber was here, the cynical gaze was still there for him. He got bullied at school but he tried not to care about that, he didn't want his mother to know how he was in this school, he just let his mother acknowledge his grades.
It was raining outside, he was still thinking about Amber and their child. She must've given birth and seen their child for the first time. He wasn't happy because he couldn't be there, he wanted to meet her and tell her his apology properly to her family.
"Chris! Chris, come here!"
His mother's voice came across the room, he was reading a book in the living room with Wendy's singing voice all over the place. "What is it, Mom?" Groggily, he answered his mother.
"You explain to me about this one."
His mother came into the living room, bringing a basket and a note. There was a sound of crying baby too, it was like an addition thunder right now and she almost had a heart attack knowing the truth.
"The rumor is true? This is Amber's child and you're the father? Amber's dropped out of the school because of this? Because of you?" Chris's mother asked her son patiently.
Chris stood up from his position, Wendy only looked at her brother worriedly without saying anything. He approached his mother and saw the baby inside the basket. He reached the note that his mother held and read it.
'I give this child to you, stay away from my family, especially, Amber.
from : David Liu, Amber's father'
