It was supposed to be next week that I'd go in for the termination, but this clarification seemed like a good opportunity to handle things differently.

I got in touch with Dr. Warren Chandler, asking him to cancel the original appointment and secretly schedule a new one.

Over the phone, I could sense his disapproval.

"Melanie, you know the state of your health. Postponing it might not be wise."

"I've already consulted with the head of OB-GYN. We'll go through the procedure together, don't worry."

"But now, the Patterson Group needs the child I'm carrying to clear the air..."

I didn't hide anything; he was not only my doctor but also a friend.

Warren paused for a moment, "Alright, the date stays the same, no record of it. Let's leave it at that."

The call ended abruptly.

He must be upset, dealing with a patient as stubborn as me, but I couldn't blame him.

But I was out of options. I couldn't just stand by and watch the Patterson Group keep going down this road.

The press conference was quickly arranged, and I'm not sure what Merritt said to Clyde, but he agreed to it. In the meantime, Rachel seemed down. Every time I went upstairs, I found her with red, swollen eyes. We were past pretending, so I opted to ignore her.

It seemed Merritt had said something; Clyde wasn't treating her as well anymore.

I had to discuss the press conference details with Clyde, just when Rachel burst out crying and ran off.

Clyde hesitated, about to follow her, then stopped when he saw me.

"What's up?"
