Evelina clutched at her heart as she hurried away from the restroom.

Today, she'd received a call from her doctor, suggesting she make a trip to the obstetrics and gynecology department. Thinking of the baby growing inside her as her last bargaining chip, she didn't dare delay and rushed over immediately.
