“If the baby in your belly were healthy, you probably wouldn’t have used his life to frame Lily. But you had an ectopic pregnancy. That child was never going to survive so you decided to squeeze the most out of his death and try to destroy Lily with it.”
How did he know it was an ectopic pregnancy? Panic unlike anything she’d ever felt seized Elsa.
Her body went weak from fear; her limbs trembled like dry leaves in the wind. Even clinging to John’s arm
Busted By The Ultrasound with all her strength, her body went so limp she nearly slipped from his embrace.
“Elsa…”
John could feel her body trembling: he assumed it was from unbearable pain and said worriedly, “I’ll take you to the hospital!”
“I don’t want to go to the hospital…”
She recalled that after bribing the doctor, her medical records had already been deleted. The doctor wouldn’t dare betray her. Slowly, she regained her composure.
She figured James was most likely bluffing-trying to shake her. And in moments like this, she couldn’t afford to lose her nerve.
Today, she had to pin the miscarriage on Lily.
Humiliated and hurting, she took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, “Lily killed my baby. I’m not asking her to take responsibility, I just want her to apologize. She hurt me so deeply, is it really that hard to just apologize?”
“Lily, apologize!”
At Elsa’s words, John and Simon ordered Lily in unison.
But Lily wasn’t the least bit intimidated by their useless fury.
Still curled up tightly in James’ arms, she clung to him a little more, almost greedily, before speaking coldly, “My conscience is clear. Why should I apologize to someone who framed me? I also think something was already wrong with Elsa’s baby; that’s why she deliberately miscarried in front of me, to push the blame onto me!”
“I didn’t…”
Elsa shut her eyes as silent tears streamed down her face, like a delicate lotus flower refusing to be soiled by the filth of the world.
“Lily, don’t go too far!”
John’s gaze at Lily was full of undisguised anger and dissatisfaction.
“You’ve hurt Elsa so terribly. How dare you slander her like this? You’re selfish, malicious, and completely unrepentant!”
“Ashton. Play the video.”
James had no interest in arguing with John and the others anymore. He simply gave Ashton a direct command.
There was a giant screen in the theater. Following his boss’ order, Ashton quickly transferred the video from his phone onto the massive display.
He tapped play; a second later, the doctor’s voice cut sharply through the air,
“Ms. Elsa, your test results are not good-you have an ectopic pregnancy.
The moment that voice rang out, Yulia and her crew turned visibly pale.
They exchanged glances, instinctively wanting to refute it, after all, the video showed only one doctor. Who knew where this doctor had come from? A single voice didn’t prove anything.
But before they could speak, the screen showed Elsa’s face-twisted in disbelief.
“What? Ectopic pregnancy?”
The doctor nodded regretfully.
“Ectopic pregnancy is very dangerous. In severe cases, it can be life-threatening. Ms. Elsa, I recommend terminating the pregnancy as soon as possible.”
“No! You must be wrong!”
Elsa’s emotions began to spiral.
“This baby is everything to me! I won’t give him up! I have to bring him into this world!”
“Ms. Elsa, the diagnosis is clear. This is an ectopic pregnancy. In this situation, it’s medically impossible for you to give birth to this child.”
On the screen, Elsa turned ghostly white as she collapsed to the floor.
“I won’t… I’ll never terminate this pregnancy…”
The video cut off there-but the truth had landed clearly in everyone’s minds.
Elsa’s baby really had a medical issue.
She had cared about that child so much. If everything had been normal, there was no way she would’ve sacrificed the baby just to frame Lily.
But, it had been an ectopic pregnancy. Under those circumstances, maybe, she really would have done it. After the video, John’s eyes turned bloodshot; disbelief clouded his expression.
He hadn’t expected it either-Elsa had an ectopic pregnancy.
“Elsa, you knew something was wrong with the baby. Why didn’t you just go to the hospital to terminate the pregnancy? Why come here and find Lily?”
Clearly, she’d come to make Lily take the fall for her baby’s death.
But of course, she couldn’t say that out loud.
Her face turned pale; her lips trembled as they tried to form words, and her body shook violently in John’s arms from pain and fear.
She had thought the price she’d paid in pain today would guarantee her victory. Who would’ve thought James had a card like this up his sleeve?
Jay, 20 JUI
She used to think James was just powerful; now, for the first time, she found him terrifying.
Slowly, she lifted her gaze, looking at James with icy pride, tinged with resentment.
Ever since middle school, she’d always been the campus belle, the center of attention.
She was used to men fawning over her, doing everything for her. For someone as proud as she was, it was unbearable to see James-someone so perfect-turn against her, all for a woman as disgusting and worthless as Lily!
But when James caught the grievance in her eyes, his sharp, phoenix-shaped gaze remained utterly indifferent-there wasn’t even a flicker of sympathy or hesitation.
Only a loathing so cold it chilled the air.
James had way more than just a couple pieces of evidence.
After his team uncovered proof that Elsa had faked her illness, he told them to keep eyes on hier,
When Elsa walked into the doctor’s office, the door hadn’t fully closed behind her. That’s when one of James’s people managed to record the whole thing-an opportunity they’d been watching for.
Once his man reported back, James ordered him to keep a close eye on Elsa.
He had a gut feeling about her. She didn’t want to go through with the abortion, and he suspected she was planning to use the baby to frame Lily.
What he didn’t expect was how fast she’d act.
There had been a traffic jam that afternoon, and his guy lost sight of her. That’s the only reason he hadn’t gotten there in time to protect Lily.
“Elsa… Did you really throw yourself down the stairs on purpose? Just to miscarry and frame Lily?”
Elsa was already overwhelmed by pain and humiliation when she suddenly heard John’s voice, sharp with accusation.
Simon’s gaze held the same mix of shock, disappointment, and disbelief.
Their looks cut straight through her. Her whole body trembled harder.
But Elsa had always been quick on her feet. She took a few shaky breaths and forced herself to stay Since the hard evidence was now out in the open, she didn’t bother denying the ectopic pregnancy anymore. calm.
She straightened up, tried to collect what was left of her dignity, and said hoarsely, “Yeah. I went for a checkup today. The doctors told me it was ectopic. But even knowing that… I still wanted to try to keep the baby. I was looking for the best specialists. I just wanted a chance to meet my baby, even if it cost me everything. That child meant more to me than my own life. I would never use her to hurt someone else. I went to see Lily because I didn’t want things to keep spiraling between us. I hoped we could finally move on… maybe even be friends. I didn’t think she’d be so cruel. She crushed the last bit of hope I had. My baby’s gone… because of her, I lost everything.”
John and Simon’s faces grew complicated. Neither said a word.
They had always trusted Elsa. They thought someone as proud as her would never lower herself to lie.
But if she’d already been diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy… why hide it? Why go to Lily?
“And now you have the nerve to stand there and blame Lily for what happened?” James’s voice was ice. “You know what your problem is, Elsa? You only come clean when the game’s already over. What did you think wiping the theater cameras was going to let you spin the whole thing however you wanted? Hate to break it to you, but that place has hidden cameras. Sure, you destroyed the visible ones, but the hidden ones were still rolling. Ashton, play the second video.”
James had poured a huge investment into that theater.
He was the one who had the hidden surveillance installed.
He didn’t do it to spy on anyone or violate anyone’s privacy. He just wanted a backup in case someone tried to hurt Lily. There were too many threats he couldn’t predict.
