Violet hesitated. Maybe Linda fell into the pond by accident?
"Aunt Violet, you know, I always behave myself when I'm at your house. I didn't push her. I'm not in the habit of asking for trouble these days."
"Fine, The truth will be revealed sooner or later. Go home and rest."
Because "Linda" was pregnant, the fall wasn't a small issue.
But Amy's justification did make sense. Violet was in turmoil.
Worried about "Linda" and the baby, Charles rushed to the hospital the moment he receieved the news.
It had been three hours since the operation had ended.
Violet and James walked towards the doctor, as soon as they saw him.
"How is she?" Violet asked, anxiously.
"She is recovering but unfortunately, I have some bad news." said the doctor, who looked worried.
Violet's heart sank. Was there something wrong with the baby?
"What happened? Please speak plainly." said James, frowning while holding Violet steady.
"The baby has passed on."
"How can that have happened? She just fell into a pond! And we pulled her out immediately Why couldn't you save the baby?" said Violet, her voice breaking.
"My lady, the only explanation is that she must have hit something hard against her belly because her placenta detached from the uterine wall."
"Can't you please do something?"
The doctor shook his head. "Sorry, we can't. The baby didn't have enough oxygen and nutrition to survive because of that."
Amy was scared stiff. She could never imagine that "Linda" would have sacrifice her child to trap her.
Obviously the doctor had been paid off by Adam.
When Lisa told the doctor what to say, he took it as Adam's idea.
He even felt pity for the young girl, who had to follow Adam's cruel instructions.
But it never occurred to him that this was her own idea.
Amy was then frightened. It seemed that nobody would believe anything she was going to say.
"Amy, get out of here!"
