Grace snapped sharply, “Are you out of your mind? Don’t you know her pregnancy is unstable? How long are you planning to keep bullying Anna for that shameless tramp?”
Annabelle gave Grace an apologetic glance, then turned to Cameron with a pleading look.” Cam, can you give me one last chance for the baby’s sake, please?”
Cameron went quiet for a moment, his eyes falling on her still–flat stomach.
She wasn’t even a month pregnant, so nothing was showing yet. But her face and lips were pale. She looked sickly and worn out.
He forced down his disgust in his chest and nodded. “Let’s talk back in the room.”
Inside the hospital room, Cameron walked in first and stopped by the window.
Annabelle followed behind, quietly closing the door.
Cameron said, “It’s just the two of us now. What did you want to say?”
Annabelle clenched her teeth, then opened her hand to show him something small and white.
Cameron frowned. “What’s that?”
“I looked it up online. Since I’m still early in the pregnancy, I can just take an abortion pill. No
surgery needed.”
Cameron’s face tensed slightly. “Where did you get it?”
“I secretly bought it online. Mrs. Dorsey doesn’t know.”
He straightened up, face guarded. “What kind of trick are you trying to pull this time?”
Annabelle gave a bitter smile. “Am I really that awful in your eyes?
“I’ve thought about it,” she went on. “I tried. I really did. But no matter what I did, I couldn’t win you back. I’ve accepted that now. You love Ms. Blake–I’ve seen it with my own eyes. And I don’t want the baby to come between you. So, I’ll end the pregnancy and step aside.”
Cameron’s expression shifted ever so slightly. “Annabelle, I really can’t live without Cassie.”
“I know,” she said with another tired smile. “Even though you’ve been by my side for the past few days, I could tell. Your heart and eyes have only ever been on her. I’ve come to terms with it. Instead of all three of us suffering, I’d rather be the only one who hurts. At least you two can be happy.”
Cameron walked over and gently helped her sit by the bed. “Sit down. Let’s talk.
Annabelle continued, “Cam… no, I shouldn’t call you that anymore. Mr. Dorsey, find a way to get Mrs. Dorsey out of the room this afternoon. I’ll take the pill and end this whole thing.”

Cameron nodded. “Alright. Let’s do that.”
