"I told you, the child isn't Nox's, so you don't have to be upset!" Zoe said bluntly.
"What did you say?" Mrs. Winter looked at Zoe in disbelief.
Just a while ago, Zoe was confident that the baby in her belly was Nox's, but why would she say it was not now?
"I lied to you. I deliberately lied to you for money. I knew you would believe me!" Zoe said to Mrs. Winter. "Now that it's over, I don't want to lie to you anymore."
Mrs. Winter was about to faint from anger. She had never thought that Zoe would fool her like that, and it made her so angry that she rushed up to hit Zoe.
Zoe's parents quickly stopped her. "We didn't want to do this either, but Nox forced us into a corner. You don't have to feel bad. You can take Zoe losing her uterus from the abortion as her retribution, and we're even now!"
