Chapter 332
Elise sucked in a breath, her eyes widening as she stared at Janice‘s flat abdomen in astoundment. She couldn‘t believe that there was already a new little life forming inside there in just those few days that she had been gone.
To top it off, Johan was definitely not a good match for Janice.
Elise truly didn‘t understand why Janice insisted on dying on the hill that was Johan Olson even though she was a stellar student at Tissote University, enjoying the best education there was–she clearly had a bright future ahead. And most importantly, if Johan‘s fiancée, Faye, were to find out, Janice might lose her life, never mind the baby growing in her belly.
Meanwhile, however, Janice still seemed unaware of the dangers she was about to face as she continued to talk excitedly to Elise.
“Now that you‘re pregnant, you should talk with Johan as soon as possible about your marriage. If the baby arrives with no status and no father, it will be detrimental to both you and the baby.”
That was Elise‘s last reminder to Janice. She didn‘t want to continue to bother with whatever had happened in the past between them. It was different from how she imagined things would go, but she wouldn‘t need to keep wasting her breath on Janice anymore.
Having said all that, she smiled and prepared to leave.
“Elise, can you help me?” Janice furrowed her brows together, as though she had been deeply hurt.
Did someone spike her water or something? Why did Janice suddenly do a 180?! Elise had a hard stance on this. Her face darkening, she reached out to push Janice away in an attempt to leave.
However, Janice‘s grip was like a vice; she refused to let go of Elise. In their tussle, Janice suddenly lost her balance and tipped backward.
Elise‘s first reaction was to ensure the baby‘s safety, so she frantically twisted her body to the side to keep Janice from falling. While she managed to help reduce the impact for Janice, both of them still fell over by the door. The back of Elise‘s head struck the door, and she instinctively reached up to rub at it. But before she could register the pain, she heard Janice‘s choking sobs. “My stomach, it hurts… Help me…”
Subsequently, a few passing students called an ambulance to send them both to the hospital.
Elise was sitting outside of the emergency room, waiting for the doctor to finish checking Janice when Alexander called her. Immediately after pressing her phone to her ear, she heard Alexander‘s rich voice. It made her feel significantly more at ease.
“I‘m already outside your dorm. Let‘s go have lunch.”
“I‘m at the hospital,” Elise said.
Instantly, Alexander panicked. Even his tone changed. “What happened? Which hospital are you at?”
“I‘m not sure, but it‘s the one closest to campus. You…”
