Unable to tell her parents the truth, she swallowed all her anguish and bitterness.]
Outside the hospital room, Alexander was waiting and grabbed her arm
Bailey’s emotions finally burst their dam. She lashed out at him, punching and kicking in a desperate release of pent–up rage.
“Alexander, how could you do something like this? Don’t you have a heart?“||
Her accusations were like bleeding from the heart, but Alexander acted as if he couldn’t hear a word. He pulled her into an empty hospital room next door, his tone grim:
“Enough, Bailey. If you hadn’t tried to run away, I wouldn’t have had to involve your parents,”
His words were cold as ice, yet his tone carried an air of weary resignation, as if she were the unreasonable one.]]

Instead, Alexander pulled away: Bailey, all babies move at six months.”
He continued coldly. “We’re still young. We can have another baby soon.”

She gathered her strength to help with their paperwork.]
While passing a corner, she caught a glimpse of Stella disappearing into a room.
Bailey Instinctively followed and, stopping outside a hospital room, saw the child lying in the bed.
The boy was five years old, rosy–cheeked and bright–eyed, looking nothing like a seriously ill child
Something nagged at the back of her mind as she opened the door to enter, only to come face–to–face with Stella.
“What are you doing here?” Stella’s expression instantly cooled.

Bailey glanced at the child on the bed and quietly suggested: “Could we talk outside?”
Stella looked at her pregnant belly, understanding immediately: “You’ve come to heg me to let Alexander spare your little bastard.“]

So it was never about Evan not being able to wait–Stella simply wanted to destroy her baby
“You’re a mother 100–how can you he so cruel?” Bailey accused[

Bailey stood stunned by this sudden turn of events.
At that moment, Stella looked toward the doorway with tear filled eyes, crying loudly:
“Alexander, she doesn’t want to save Evan! She said she wants him to die soon!
“Evan has never even met his father! Now that we finally have hope… Alexander, please, don’t let her hurt my baby! Please!”
Hailey turned to pee Alexander standing in the doorway, his face dark as thunder.
Her heart sank as she shook her head frantically: “No, I didn’t… |
