Eden had clung to a sliver of hope because Yolanda was still carrying his child. He never imagined that Vincent would take Yolanda directly to the hospital to terminate the pregnancy.
In truth, Mrs. Walker had been against the procedure.
A late-term abortion wasn't like a minor procedure; the physical toll was immense. Yolanda's health was already fragile, and she had struggled to carry this healthy baby boy to over five months. Given her physical condition, if she lost this child, she might never have another chance at motherhood.
But Vincent still hoped for Yolanda to remarry, to further his political career, and having a child from a previous relationship would naturally be an inconvenience.
Besides, Yolanda didn't love Eden; in fact, she found him rather repulsive. Before, when he was the heir to the Thompson family and had value to her, she had reluctantly agreed to carry his child.
Now that Eden had been cast aside by the Thompsons and was a convict, there was no way Yolanda would bear a child for him.
Since both her husband and daughter were set against keeping the child, Mrs. Walker didn't press the matter further.
However, after the procedure, Yolanda's physical condition was terrible; it was as if she had been to hell and back.
Mrs. Walker's heart ached for her daughter, so she stayed by her side at the hospital, never leaving. But Vincent, her own father, had only visited a handful of times.
It wasn't that Vincent didn't care about Yolanda; she was, after all, his own daughter whom he had watched grow up. But April Martinez was about to give birth and needed him more.
Of course, Vincent couldn't reveal that April was about to have his child, so he just claimed to be busy with work.
But Mrs. Walker wasn't so easily fooled. The private investigator she hired had already uncovered the heavily pregnant April, and even found that Vincent had transferred more than half of his assets into April's name.
The Walker family was already struggling to make ends meet, yet Vincent refused to sell any of his assets. It turned out he had given everything to his mistress and their secret child.
"Alright, stop dwelling on 'what ifs.' Recovering your health is the most important thing. You're the eldest daughter of the Walker family; you can have any man you want," Mrs. Walker cut in before Yolanda could finish.
They couldn't do anything to that little bitch Yvonne right now, and her daughter obsessing over it would only bring herself more pain.
Soon after, a maid brought in a hearty, nutritious meal. Mrs. Walker watched Yolanda finish eating and then waited until she had drifted off to sleep before leaving.
"I have to step out for a while. Take good care of Yolanda," Mrs. Walker instructed the maids before she left.
Following the address provided by the private investigator, Mrs. Walker arrived at the hospital where April was staying for her pregnancy.
The hospital was in a somewhat remote location, but it was a large, top-tier medical center with nationally renowned specialists in its obstetrics and gynecology department.
