The fact that some people find Hill annoying just shows the lack of empathy. Imagine having to bear a kid you didn't even know you had with a man who meant to hurt you in order to save himself.

His will to be free had been within him since his childhood and it's just selfish to expect him to be a good parent when the pregnancy wasn't even wanted.
