Haillie looked a bit hesitant, âIâm all good! Just popped by to see how your sprained ankle is doing?â
âAh, itâs much better. I can walk normally now, but I canât do any intense exercise yetâ
âThatâs greatâ
Looking at Haillie, Patriciaâs eyes held a subtle hint of disdain. She could see right through Haillieâs real intentions.
Haille had always been infatuated with her brother Balfour. She always came up with excuses to come over and play, but all she wanted was to get closer to Balfour!
Staring at this good friend who harbored feelings for her brother, Patricia hatched a plan in her mindâ
So, she quickly concocted a lie and then pretended to sigh with worry, âHaillie, itâs good you came by Thereâs something I need to tell you as a friend.
Haillie was taken aback, âWhat is it?â
Patricia said with a sad face, âThis morning, I went to the Central Maternity Hospital.â
Haillie looked worned, âPatricia, whatâs wrong? Are you sick? Why did you go to the maternity hospital all of a sudden?â
Patricia shook her head, gently clutching Haillieâs hand, âHaillie, donât worry about me! It wasnât me who needed to go to the hospital. My brother had me accompany a girl there for an abortion.â
Haillieâs eyes widened in shock, âAbortion? Balfourâ¦why would Balfour have a girl get an abortion?
Who is she?â
Patricia let out a resigned sigh, âItâs Ellinor. Sheâs pregnant.â
âWhat?! Ellinor! But what does Ellinorâs pregnancy have to do with Balfour?â
âHaillie, donât you get it? If the baby isnât Balfourâs, why would he care about Ellinor getting an abortion?
You know my brother, he wouldnât interfere in something that doesnât concern himâ
Hearing Patriciaâs words, Haillie was in complete shock, âHow could this happen! Ellinor is pregnant with Balfourâs child?! How could Balfour even touch her! No! I donât believe it! Balfour would never touch her!â
Patricia looked at her sympathetically, âHaillie, calm down, let me finish.
Ellinor started working at my brotherâs company out of the blue, and then she started showing up at my grandparentsâ house, trying to get close to him. Her intentions were clear.
As far as I know, she managed to drug my brother one night a month ago, and thatâs how she got him toâ¦..
I canât believe she got pregnant just from that one night!
Itâs a good thing my brother doesnât plan on keeping the baby. He wonât let her control him!
Thatâs why he had me go to the maternity hospital today to make sure Ellinor went through with the abortion, to get rid of that unwanted child.â
Hearing that the man she had admired since childhood had been violated by Ellinor in such a dirty way.
Haillie was so angry that her hands were shaking.
âEllinor is so shameless! She couldnât get Theo, so she set her sights on Balfour!
Sheâll stop at nothing just to marry into a wealthy family! I feel sick thinking about what happened to Balfour that night!
Thank god Balfour didnât fall for such a low-class woman. She deserved to get that abortion!â
But Patricia looked worried again, âBut Ellinor didnât go through with the abortion today. She changed her mind halfway and ran off.â
âWhat?!â
