Chapter 870

Selena met her gaze for a few moments before breaking the silence, "Go on, take a seat."

But instead of sitting, Alexa gently knelt down, holding her belly protectively.

Selena frowned but didn't offer her a hand up. She simply said, "There's no need for that..."

"I'm sorry, Selena."

Alexa knew the little drama Selena had played out in the living room earlier was meant for her eyes.

Even though, initially... she hadn't planned on dodging her responsibilities.

Selena studied her quietly for a while before finally asking, "What did Joy threaten you with?"

Alexa answered, "The baby."

This wasn't surprising.

Alexa was now all alone, and the only thing she cared about was her child.

Selena's eyes rested on Alexa's lowered gaze, and she asked softly, "Since you decided to betray me for your child, why didn't you go through with it?"

Alexa had indeed used a drug.

But it wasn't the one Joy had given her. She used something rare, a concoction that mimicked a death-like sleep.
