This was a far cry from what he'd imagined would happen.
Annie Lawrence was less than three months pregnant, the time when the fetus is most unstable and most easily harmed.
If what the police officer said was true, and she had really been fighting so fiercely, it would have been very dangerous.
The child in her belly could easily be miscarried.
David Benington had just been busy comforting her and dealing with Linda, and hadn't had time to think about this issue.
Now, looking at her pretending as if nothing had happened, he couldn't help but feel a touch of doubt.
"Are you really okay?" He squinted his eyes, looking at Annie with a complex gaze, "Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital for a check-up?"
Annie's heart "thumped" inside her chest.
She looked up only to meet David's probing and suspicious eyes. Her heart "thumped" again. She realized that he was doubting that there might be something wrong with the baby in her belly.
