Kendra wept uncontrollably.
The truth was, her stomach hadnt even been touched. Her theatrics were a ruse to distract Benny, to keep him from discovering the pills.
Kendra, Im sorry. Lets get you to the hospital immediately.
Scooping her up, Benny dashed for the hospital.
Kendra lay on the hospital bed, tears streaming down her face, while outside in the hallway, the doctor scolded Benny. He told Benny off for fighting with Kendra, stressing that pregnant women need peace.
He added that it was lucky Kendra had only hurt her back. A blow to her stomach could have been disastrous for the baby.
Benny nodded, his head heavy with guilt. Returning to Kendras room, he found her crying into her pillow, overwhelmed with distress.
He felt terrible for having been so harsh with her.
At the engagement party, Lindsey had planted a seed of doubt, suggesting the baby might not be his. That seed had festered and, upon seeing a particular message, it bloomed into suspicion, clouding his judgment.

Sitting next to her, Benny took her hand gently and suggested, Kendra, being pregnant means theres a lot you cant do. Maybe we should get a maid to look after you. Itd put my mind at ease.
Kendra felt a pang of worry. Why did Benny suddenly want to hire a maid? Was it out of care or was it to keep an eye on her?
She wondered if he really trusted her. She thought desperately that she had to do something to end her pregnancy.
Im fine on my own. We should save money for the business instead of spending it on help I dont need, she protested.

.
But Benny was resolute, his hand resting on her belly. Ill handle the business. Your job is to stay healthy and make sure our baby comes into the world safely.
Kendra pretended to be moved and leaned into his embrace, yet her hands were balled into fists, hidden from view.
After Benny left, Kendra checked her phone to find a taunting message from Lindsey.
Did you Like the little stunt I pulled? Since you claim the baby is my fathers, Ill make sure its born, no matter what. Nobody can interfere!
Kendras anger flared. She wanted to hurl her phone against the wall but restrained herself.
It was clear now. Lindsey was orchestrating everything.
And Lindsey had made her intentions crystal clear. Once the baby arrived, Kendra knew it would all come to an end.
She tried to stay composed, refusing to let a simple message rattle her.
Since Lindsey was against the idea of an abortion, Kendra wondered what she might do instead.
A mocking sneer spread across her pale lips.
Lindsey, having taken some medication, had collapsed onto the bed.
