She knew she could provide for herself, but raising a child would pose significant challenges. While she could endure the difficulties, she couldn't bear the thought of her child growing up in an unhealthy environment.

Her life was unfortunate.

She didn't want her child to share the same fate.

To spare the child from potential future scrutiny and judgment, she believed it was better not to bring the baby into this world.

“If you want, I can be the father of the child, and I will treat it as my own." Morrison spoke up sincerely. “I liked you since the moment I met you."

Laura was stunned, unsure how to respond to Morrison's unexpected proposal.

She couldn't bring herself to marry him knowing she was carrying another man's child.

Feeling it would be unfair to him.

She also didn't want her child to grow up with someone else as their father.

Despite Morrison's sincere offer, she doubted his words.

That baby was not his child.

She didn't believe he could truly treat the child as his own.

She was resolute in her decision.

She wouldn't agree to Morrison's proposal.

She was determined not to have the baby.

However, it wasn't until an accident occurred that she reconsidered her stance.

The forensic expert was absent from the team.

She temporarily took on the role.

This time, they were tasked with handling a man who had killed three people.

He was determined not to be captured and, during the arrest, he kidnapped her.
