Natalie shook her head. “I couldn't bear to abort the child, so I didn't consent. But considering the condition of the child, there's obviously no other choice.”

“That's true.” Sally nodded, biting her lip.

At that, Natalie closed her eyes for a moment. “What should I do now, Sal? I don't even know how I should tell Shane about this. Will he blame me when he learns about our child's condition?”
