He took the phone, returning it to the nurse, before scooping Flossie up with a worried air.


    “The doctor mentioned possible miscarriage.


    You need rest.


    Don’t wander around risking another ident.


    ”


    His cold tone sent shivers down her spine.


    But she didn’t struggle—she feared for her unborn child.


    cing her on the bed, Benny sighed resignedly.


    “You’re so disobedient.


    It’s getting difficult.


    ”


    Flossie remained rigid, refusing to meet his gaze.


    But he forced her chin up, demanding eye contact.


    “Why did you borrow the phone? To warn Ste after learning about my n for Matthew?”


    Flossie’s heart hammered in her chest.


    He’d seen through her.


    “Do you honestly believe Ste would trust you, knowing you hid the fact that I was alive and gave me the chance to kill Matthew at the wedding?”


    Flossie’s expression faltered.


    Benny looked away.


    “Remember, we’re in this together now.


    Help me, don’t betray me.


    ”


    The Benny she knew was gone.


    A chilling fear crept up her spine.


    It took a long time to muster a voice.


    “How can you be so cruel? You’ve changed.


    ”


    “This is the real me,” he said coldly.


    He nced at his watch.


    “Time to go.


    ”


    Flossie frowned, wary.


    “Where are you taking me?”


    His voice returned to normal.


    “Just an examination.


    Rx.


    ”


    Despite her trepidation, the word “examination” eased her concerns for the moment.


    It was only when she was wheeled into the operating room that she felt panic setting in.


    She knew something was amiss when the doctor tried to anaesthetize her.


    Clutching the doctor’s arm, she demanded coldly “This was supposed to be an examination.


    Why do I need anesthesia?”


    The doctor’s response chilled her to the bone.


    “It’s standard procedure for an abortion, of course.Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ”


    Flossie’s world tilted.


    Benny was setting her up for an abortion without her consent? He hadn’t even considered her feelings.


    Tears welled up in her reddened eyes, threatening to spill.


    She forced them back and struggled to rise.


    The doctor, momentarily startled, reached out to stop her.


    “Don’t touch me!” Flossie snapped, her voice cracking.


    “This isn’t happening! Not without a fight!”


    She lunged for the exit, trying to escape the operating room.
