Chương 242: Good News Turned Bad

Back at the hospital, doctor Julie sank into her seat after receiving Ella's call. She massaged her throbbing head and drank a glass of water to calm her strained nerves and erratically beating heart.

She had been dreading this day ever since Leon first told her that she would be the one to conduct the pregnancy termination procedure. This was meant to be her punishment for keeping him in the dark.
