REI PULLED HIS TRICK

Elder Rose stared at Abby, those eyes were not cold, like they used to, but they filled with pity, almost as if she was sad for the thing she was going to do. "I know what is right for you."

"No! You don't!" Abby literally growled at her. The sharp pain in her stomach increased, but she didn't dare to put her guard down, neither she was willing to let Elder Rose to get what she wanted. 

Liam… please.

Her only hope was for Liam to come quickly. He needed to be here. Their child was in danger. 

"I am your mother," Elder Rose said. Her tone was very small, it filled with sadness and grievances. Her voice was quivering, so did her hand that reached out to Abby, it was trembling.
