Cecelia Anderson seemed deep in thought as she wiped the sweat from Bella Scott's brow. She had never seen Bella like this before; the woman had always been very assertive and decisive.
Before, Bella had encouraged her to have an abortion, but now that she was planning to do so, Bella's reaction was so strong.
At this moment, the nurse announced loudly, "Next, Cecelia Anderson!"
"The abortion procedure is quick, Bella. Just wait for me here." Cecelia lightly squeezed Bella's palm.
She had been nervous, but Bella had managed to divert her attention. Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Cecelia followed the nurse out to prepare for the procedure.
Bella watched helplessly as Cecelia was wheeled into the operating room, feeling as if her throat was being choked, making it increasingly difficult to breathe.
She shook her heavy head, feeling her legs give way, unable to take a deep breath as she faced this familiar yet alien scene.
