The entire room fell silent.
Bonnie bit her lip and watched Christopher carefully, her mind racing.
She had been planning to tell the truth if Sean had not popped out at the last minute.
Did this mean her child would be saved?
No... Christopher was a doctor, so he could definitely tell that she had not gone through with the surgery.
Nonetheless, Bonnie could not help wondering if it was possible, anyway.
What if Christopher had not paid attention and misread a minor detail... Would he believe that this form was real?
If so, her baby would be saved!
Bonnie felt as though her heart was inching deeper and deeper into the depths of an emotional chasm as she watched Christopher.
No, it was not possible.
How could Christopher miss anything, judging by the detailed way he scrutinized the paper?
Even discovering just a minor detail would expose her.
Bonnie closed her eyes and tried to calm her racing heart.
Why was it so hard for her to protect her child? It was already complicated enough with Jim in the way, but now, Christopher had popped up out of nowhere.
Was her child destined to end up a tragedy as her love life had?
Just as Bonnie was immersed in her worries, Luna grabbed hold of her arm in reassurance. "Don't be nervous. If he doesn't believe us, we'll just go to the hospital to get a new certificate to prove it. Since you've already gone through with the surgery, there's no way you would've been able to fake it."
Bonnie could not help feeling even more guilty when she heard this.
She did not say anything in response but instead just gripped Luna's hand in return. Her hand was covered in sweat.
