Elly Campbell's brow furrowed slightly when she received a text from Adam Jones asking about Helen Melendy's condition.
Because the fetus inside Helen's womb was not far along, the doctor performed a medication-induced abortion.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Elly holding her phone with a troubled look on her face, Helen immediately asked.
Her face was almost bloodless, and she had watched with her own eyes as the undeveloped fetus, turned into clots of blood, slid from her body, wrenching her heart with pain.
But, not wanting to worry Elly, she put on a forced smile, suppressing the agony in her heart.
Elly showed Helen the message from Adam, and upon reading its content, Helen's brows also knitted together slightly.
"Should we tell him?"
Without asking, both knew that Adam's so-called mercy in asking about Helen's condition was obviously at someone else's request.
As for who made the request, it was clear there was only one person.
