Chương 86: Just a Taste

Leila's POV:

I can't believe it. How the hell was a bottle of wolfsbane in my drawer? Drake kept asking how I had it, like I'd know. How the hell was I supposed to know? I never saw that bottle in my entire life up until now. I couldn't explain it, and I could see in Drake's eyes that he was struggling too. His disbelief cut through me like a knife, but honestly, I didn't blame him. If I were standing in his shoes, it would be hard for me to believe too.

I had once wanted to abort the baby, it's true. When I first found out I was pregnant, I was terrified, confused, and not ready for the weight of motherhood. But that was months ago. I had grown attached to this life growing inside me. I had come to love the child. How the hell would I suddenly want to abort it now? How could Drake believe that of me?
