Before leaving Doctor Julie, Ella promised her that she wouldn't cry anymore, irrespective of Leon's decision.
She concluded that Leon's decision to have her abort her babies was both wicked and selfish. So she made up her mind that she would no longer feel sorry for herself or even cajole him into accepting the pregnancy.

"Leon," Ella called softly, "I am done crying or pleading for you to accept my pregnancy. As a matter of fact, I should be made mad at you. It was wrong of you to go behind my back and make a decision to terminate my pregnancy without my consent. This is my body and my life! I alone can choose what I want, and how I want it." Ella was emphatic on the word, 'my'.
"Really!" Leon said between clenched jaw.
