Helen Melendy looked down and gently touched her flat belly, her voice hoarse as she asked, "How is the baby?"
Her emotions sounded very calm, and with her eyebrows and eyes lowered, one couldn't see the emotions in her eyes.
"Chief Wood said there are signs of a threatened miscarriage and that you'll need to be hospitalized for observation for a while until the baby is stable before you can be discharged," Adam Jones did not conceal this from her, nor did he mention whether or not to keep the child, but simply held her hand tightly and said seriously,
"You're too skinny now, lacking nutrition, how can the baby be okay?"
As she spoke, she rose and walked out, "Wait for me a moment, I'll go buy you something to eat."
"Elly."
Just as Elly Campbell turned to leave, Helen Melendy grabbed her, her fingertips very cold, as if ice had been poured into her blood.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Helen Melendy biting her lower lip, her voice hoarse, she said, "Let's... abort the baby."
