Chapter 101 I Didn't Kill the Child

Fiona fought to reach the windowsill, tears streaking down her face: "Let go, Dad. Let me go, I want to be with my baby..."

"Stop, Fiona, don't you dare do anything foolish!"

Kelvin stepped forward and took Fiona from the administrator's grasp: "Stop crying."

"Mr. Davis," Fiona leaned into his embrace, "It's my fault, blame me..."

Kelvin silently patted her back.

He was grieving, too; he just couldn't show it, keeping his pain locked inside.

Fiona wiped away her tears and locked eyes with Penelope.

Sensing trouble in Fiona's calculating stare, Penelope braced herself.

And predictably, Fiona played the victim card.

"Moving into The King Manor was Mr. Davis's idea - to ensure the baby's wellbeing. I get why you're upset, but..." Fiona's eyes reddened, "Why would you harm me?"

"Me? Harm you?"

"When I saw you trip and about to fall down the stairs, I instinctively reached out to help you. And what happened? You grabbed my hand and yanked me down with you! Penelope, I was pregnant! That fall, that tumble it cost me my child!"

She knew it. Fiona was pinning the blame on her!

Penelope jumped in to explain right away, "I'm the one who missed my step, but it was you who cornered me on the stairs! When I was about to fall, I didn't grab you — it was you who reached for my hand. You're pregnant, why wouldn't you keep your distance? And then you make a show of trying to help me!"

Fiona, hurt and resentful, shot back, "So now my trying to help you is somehow my fault?"

"You didn't help me at all! You practically fell on me!"

"Mr. Davis..." Fiona looked up at Kelvin, tears brimming in her eyes, "If we go by what Penelope is saying, it's like I threw myself down on purpose, like I wanted to lose my baby. I can't bear such an accusation!"

Penelope was taken aback.
