Chapter 352: Making Up My Mind
Prince Leonard looked taken by surprise by my abrupt declaration. Even I was a little surprised by how unshaken my resolve was. It might have been better for me to think about it logically and take my time pondering this important decision; however, I felt like if I wasted so much time thinking about it, my cowardice would take over and I would end up running away from doing what I really wanted to do. The risks were frightening, and I believed the doctor wasn’t lying about them to freak me out, but my desire surely won over all my sense of fear.
Don’t they like to say that that there’s no pain if there’s no gain?
“As I just said, Mila, you don’t need to rush yourself into deciding this. Also, there is no rush even if you want to have my child and we decide to have one together,” the prince reminded me calmly.
“I’ve already made up my mind. Spending more time to think about it or rethinking it will not change my mind. I’m sorry for being so stubborn about this,” I replied with unwavering determination.
Prince Leonard stared directly into my eyes without saying a word and I found myself staring back without looking away. I didn’t quite know where I found that much courage to back up the decision that I had made but at that moment, I just felt so sure that I was doing the right thing. There was no proof and no rational reason, but my instincts felt so strong and that made me so sure that I must be doing the right thing.
“Mila, it will be risky for you...” the prince said after letting out a sigh.
“I understand that there are risks, but we won’t know until we give it a try, right?” I asked in return.
The prince looked very trouble and I knew that he was worried about what might happen to me if I got pregnant with his child. If the doctor was correct, the odds were against us at every single stage of the process.
“I’m fine with it, honestly...” I said after the prince started to look hesitant.
