Chapter 365 Arrogance
"Pregnant?!"
"Yes, I haven't had my period for a month, and I've been feeling nauseous a lot lately."
Isa is not a little girl who knows nothing. She naturally knows some common physiological knowledge.
This incident also made her feel stressed and she often had trouble sleeping due to anxiety.
Although she received a modern education, in India, where the culture is relatively conservative, getting pregnant before marriage is still somewhat shocking.
The most important thing is what is Ron's attitude? Is he prepared? What will happen to her as a woman in the future?
Isa looked at him carefully, her eyes complicated, and the anticipation almost overflowed from her eyes.
"Let's go!" Ron waved his hand.
"Where are you going?" she asked subconsciously.
"Go to the hospital!"
Without his instructions, Anil trotted off to make arrangements.
Five minutes later, Yi Shang drove the car to the door of the villa, and Ron carefully helped Yi Sha get into the car.
His nervous look finally made Isa feel relieved.
The car sped towards the best hospital in New Delhi, honking its horn almost non-stop along the way.
More than half an hour later, Ron received an ultrasound order.
Sure enough, Isa was pregnant, forty-five days.
He stared at the report blankly, without any expression.
"Ron..." Isa asked in a low voice.
"I'm so awesome!" Ron said proudly.
"Hey! There are so many people here!" Isa couldn't help but pat him.
"Isn't this a good thing? I'm going to be a father!"
"Are you...are you happy?"
"Of course. Aren't you happy? You're going to be a mother."
Oh, that joy is only now gradually coming up.
Ron was in a confused state just now. He knew that Isa was pregnant, but his brain and emotions were not in sync yet.
Now that I have received the report, I finally feel at ease.
When he was in Mumbai, Ron had always taken protective measures as he didn't want to have children too early.
It was only in the last few months that I put away my umbrella and completely let myself go.
It turned out that she and Isa had been together for less than five nights, and then she gave herself a surprise.
As for children, of course you have to have them.
Not to mention that Hinduism has no tradition of abortion, and Ron was reluctant to give up his first child.
"Then...what are you going to do?" Isa lowered her head, but her eyes kept looking at him from time to time.
"It's easy, leave it to me!" He suddenly smiled.
"Um?"
"Is your dad... no, our dad home now?"
"Ah?" Isa was stunned.
"What are you doing? You look surprised, and you seem unhappy."
"No! Ron! Of course I do! I absolutely do!" She jumped up and into Ron's arms, screaming.
"Okay, be careful, you're pregnant."
Isa threw herself on him and didn't want to get down, burying her head tightly in his arms.
Ron patted her back gently, comforting her with a smile. When he lowered his head, he found that there were tears in the corners of Isa's eyes.
"What's the matter?" he asked.
"That's great." She moved her head, looking for a more comfortable position.
"Do you think I'll just walk away?"
Isa didn't say anything, but Ron felt a slight pain in his chest as she bit him gently.
He knew she felt wronged. As a member of a traditional Hindu family, pregnancy before marriage was always a taboo topic.
Not only is he accused of moral corruption, but family reputation is also a heavy topic.
Especially in high-caste families, daughters who become pregnant out of wedlock will be expelled or forced to have a secret abortion.
Johnny's mother was kicked out of the house because she got pregnant with him first, and she had to give birth on the sidewalk in Mumbai.
If it happens in a place with strong religious consciousness like North India, the probability of "honor killing" may be even higher.
Although Isha will not face such a tragedy, the conservative Verma will definitely make her look bad.
What's more, if the news gets out, what will people in New Delhi say about her?
She is the daughter of the Chief Justice. I wonder how many officials will treat this as a joke.
The reporters were even more excited and would definitely stop Verma and ask him whether he would allow his daughter to have an abortion?
As Chief Justice, you should support the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act enacted in the 1970s.
At the same time, as a high-caste Hindu, what about the family reputation? The "Manu Code" regards "abortion" as murder.
On one side is the law, on the other side is religious precepts. Just imagine how big a storm this will cause.
As the center of the storm, how should Isa deal with it?
If Ron just walked away, could she, left alone and helpless, hold on?
In a place like India, especially New Delhi, which is controlled by Hindus, Isha will probably disappear in the end.
He ruffled her hair, felt her warmth, her heartbeat, and the arms that were hugging him tightly, and laughed.
"You underestimate Mr. Soul."
"Hmm." A muffled voice came.
"You haven't answered my question yet?"
"What?" She looked up in confusion.
"Is your father home?"
"yes."
"Let's go!" He pulled her and turned around.
Isa took a step forward happily. The sky outside was blue and birds were singing.
Without any delay, Ron asked Ishan to drive the BMW to the gate of Verma's official residence.
He got out of the car, holding Isa's hand, and walked into the yard with his head held high, under the stunned eyes of the gatekeeper.
Verma had not yet come to work and was sitting in the living room playing with a watch.
This was a gift a friend had given him recently. It wasn't a bribe, but a thank you for the nice words he said to Zong Li.
This kind of gift does not carry any burden, so you can accept it with confidence.
The important thing is that Verma likes to collect luxury watches, which is one of his few hobbies.
I got a new treasure, so of course I couldn’t help but take it out and play with it for a while.
We'll talk about work in the afternoon. Look at this watch dial, it's inlaid with diamonds!
Wilma faced the sun towards the door, observing it carefully and stroking it back and forth. The bright light made him feel itchy.
Suddenly a shadow blocked the light and the diamond stopped shining.
Velma frowned and looked up.
"Why are you here?" He was stunned.
"Hello, Mr. Velma." Ron greeted with a smile.
"How did you get in?"
Velma looked outside to see if the gatekeeper was slacking off again.
He paused again, "Isa?"
"Dad." She quietly hid behind Ron.
Velma looked from Ron to her daughter, her brows slowly rising.
"you?"
"Isa, go upstairs first. Mr. Velma and I have something to discuss." Ron patted her little hand.
Seeing this action, Verma was furious.
Sure enough, his premonition came true and things were going to be bad.
"Then you must communicate in a friendly manner." Isa's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them.
"Yes." They nodded in unison.
"Okay." She lifted her skirt and went upstairs quietly.
As soon as Isha disappeared completely, Verma immediately attacked.
"You little bastard! Tell me, what's going on?" he asked angrily.
"Look, you're anxious again." Ron sat down calmly.
"I'm warning you, you'd better stay away from my daughter."
"Isha is 22 years old. Doesn't she even have the freedom to make friends?"
"I don't care about the others, but you!"
"Why?" Ron asked curiously.
"I'm a judge. I can tell whether a person is a good person or not just by looking into his eyes. You can't escape my eyes, boy!"
You are really good at judging people!
"Alas, the prejudice in people's hearts is a huge mountain."
"You don't have to tell me that."
"But we are already friends."
"What friends?"
"Boyfriend and girlfriend." Ron shrugged.
"You!" Velma pointed at him, her fingers shaking with anger. "I order you to leave her!"
"The order is invalid. Plaintiff, please be careful with your wording."
"Bastard!" He rushed forward, fingers together, ready to slap.
"Wait!" Ron raised his hand to interrupt him, "Let's talk about another topic first."
"What?" Velma was stunned.
"This has been going on in Tamil Nadu for so long, it's time to put an end to it. You should give them an order not to arrest anyone without sufficient evidence."
"Humph, why?" Wilma sneered.
"Based on this!" Ron slapped the ultrasound report in front of him, with only two words on his face: arrogant!
Verma was a little confused. He picked up the report on the table and his temples started throbbing after just two glances.
In a flash, thousands of thoughts flashed through my mind.
Daughter, family, officialdom, public opinion, reputation.
"Mr. Velma, are you okay?" Ron asked uncertainly.
The old man's trembling appearance made him worry that he might be over-stimulated and have a stroke or something.
"I'm going to kill you!" Velma grabbed the teacup on the table and was about to throw it over.
"Isa is watching upstairs!" Ron quickly pointed to the stairs.
"Hmm?" He looked up.
With a swish, Verma felt his hand lighten. When he came to his senses, the teacup was gone!
Ron slowly put down the cup and glanced at him with a hint of reproach.
"Mr. Verma, this is not the manner of the Chief Justice. We can discuss what we have. If we quarrel here, it would be terrible if the servants heard it and spread it outside."
"You!" Wilma wanted to hit him again, but he held back.
It's true that he was angry, but Ron was right. This kind of thing must not be spread out.
Especially considering his identity, Verma couldn't imagine what kind of storm would be caused.
"What are you going to do?" He slowly calmed down.
"What else can we do? The child is important, so of course we give birth to him." Ron spread his hands innocently.
"Where's Isha?" Velma's anger subsided a little.
Ron's willingness to keep the child shows that he is a man of conscience.
"She naturally followed me. I have a place to stay in New Delhi and I also have a lot of business."
"Stop playing dumb! You must marry her within two months, and I will be responsible for the wedding." As a judge, Verma would not tolerate any carelessness.
"Ah? So urgent?" This time Ron was really dumbfounded.
