"Do you really not plan to keep this child? Does Joshua Sulliven know?" Jill Gilbert asked as Keira Leaf remained silent, prompting her to inquire again.
Keira Leaf silently stroked the teacup in hand, seemingly pondering how to begin speaking.
If she were to tell Jill Gilbert the truth, she'd surely not help her conceal it, but rather would inform Joshua Sulliven of the matter; and once Joshua found out, he would definitely no longer accept her cornea donation.
In Jill Gilbert's eyes, Keira Leaf's silence was tantamount to another form of acquiescence. She raised her voice slightly, yet suppressed the anger in her heart, "Why on earth don't you want this child anymore?"
Keira Leaf looked up at the woman in front of her, whose face was already turning a shade of red, opened her mouth but ultimately couldn't craft her words carefully enough and remained silent.
