David Snyman paused and asked "What did you say?" he wasn't sure he had heard what she said, but he knew from her look that this woman probably knew his Sweetness.
The lady finally snapped out of her trance and looked at David, seeing the look of grief in his eyes she started doubting that this would be Bailey Harper. After all, Bailey was drug induced and would be a mess without the drugs and thus she calmed her heart and finally said "I am so sorry, sir I was momentarily distracted, let's take your wife to the hospital" she quickly said when seeing other villagers making their way to them, she didn't want to be shunned by the people because she still needed their hospital. Otherwise on a normal day, she wouldn't have bothered, especially because the lady she bumped into looked like her enemy Bailey.
David sighed a relief and quickly went to pick Bailey up to take into the truck and they quickly made their way to the hospital. His heart filled with the lady's words "your wife." He could just imagine himself growing old with Bailey as his wife. If that would happen, then he would live his life fulfilled.
Charging into the hospital, the lady made her way into the gynecology ward no longer bothering with the village people. "Hello, where do I need to go to take out uhm..." the lady whispered as she gestured to her stomach to imply that she wanted to abort but couldn't bring herself to say it out loud. She kept looking around as if she was afraid of bumping into someone who knew her even in this remote village hospital.
The reception looked at her with a condemning look but didn't say anything, only after a while did she say "Wait there, I'll get a doctor over to check you." The receptionist didn't want to judge but having being raise in the village her beliefs system were rather narrow even after having training as a hospital receptionist, she still couldn't fathom why people would do certain things especially abortion.
The lady sat down by the waiting chair, filled in the patient's form and got lost in her thoughts.
Snow filled the city, coating every post and every tree, the streets were glistening with ice and snow flakes kept falling beautifully, making it a magical sight to behold but Loretta May couldn't see the beauty in anything. Her heart was as cold as the icicles outside and she waited in the anciently decorated waiting room she couldn't bring herself admire the beauty of anything. The previous she had sent Claw a message telling him she was pregnant with his child but he had just blue ticked her.
She always knew that he held no place in his heart but the previous six months sleeping together every night had made her turn a blind eye to his obsession with Bailey Harper. She knew that he was only with her because she looked like Bailey when you look at her at certain angles and under certain lighting. But her heart would leap each time he texted her to come over to his place, even if all the times he had called her where nights and she knew that it was just to sleep with her.
She went through a lot to finally have a connection with him and she wasn't about to let the opportunity go, she has been obsessed with him since they were young growing up together, however he only had eyes for Bailey. Until six months ago, he wouldn't even look at her twice, now with Bailey gone she had her chance. But who knew his heart was only saturated by Bailey Harper, her bestfriend.
Claw stood by the stairwell and looked at her with disgust "What do you want?" he asked her harshly.
"I uh" she trembled, "uhm I'm pregnant"
"Abort it" he ruthlessly said without giving it much thought, he knew he was the one to deflower her but he couldn't imagine himself having a child with her.
Loretta's heart broke and she felt like her soul had left her, blood drained away from her face and she couldn't even breathe properly. The man she had loved for over 15years has just told her to abort their baby, she couldn't bring herself to believe what she heard.
