"Jolene, I know you're hurting, and it's tough for you to accept all this, but why... Why did you get involved in this? Do you realize that once you start, your life is ruined forever?" Esther said.
Jolene smiled bitterly. "I know, but it's too late!"
"I'm calling the police right now!" Esther grabbed her phone and dialed 911.
Suddenly, Jolene clutched her stomach and chuckled, looking at Esther. "Call for an ambulance!"
A strong smell of blood slowly filled the room. Esther noticed fresh blood on Jolene's dress, and her shock prompted her to rush to Jolene, nervously asking, "W-What have you done, Jolene?!"
"I didn't want to carry this burden. I've tried countless methods. I've even been on the operating table, but I found out I couldn't do it. Her father is a scumbag, but she's innocent!"
It was only then that Esther noticed abortion pills in the trash can. She picked up the medicine box and asked in panic, "Did you take these pills? How could you be so reckles—"
Before Esther could finish her sentence, Jolene suddenly grabbed a syringe from the table and stabbed it into Esther's neck. Feeling the sharp pain, Esther clutched her neck and turned stiffly to look at Jolene.
Jolene lowered her voice with tearful eyes and apologized, "Esther, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to deceive you! He said that as long as I got you to come here, he would help me seek revenge!"
"He?" The drug started to take effect, and Esther felt her head spinning. Who was he?
Struggling to stay conscious, she pulled the syringe from her neck and staggered toward the hotel's exit.
