Chapter 108: Only One Choice

Five years ago...

"They're twins!" Evangeline exclaimed excitedly, her gaze shifting from me to my noticeably large belly. "I'm so happy! No wonder your belly is this big-it's because there are two of them!" she added, clapping her hands and bouncing slightly like a child.

With all the pain I was experiencing-aching body, saggy breasts, constant headaches, stomachaches, and sudden mood swings-I didn't even know where to focus my attention. But despite all this, it was worth it because my child... or rather, my children, are alive.

She pulled out an envelope from her Gucci bag-thick with cash, enough to almost tear it open.

The doctor nodded, smiling as she took the envelope and slid it into her bag.
