She didn't feel guilty about taking the baby out of her womb, she remembered standing up to Daniel a few years ago about what would happen if she got pregnant.
At the time, her physiological period had been delayed by ten days and she was vaguely uncomfortable.
Joanne had been beaten at the time, and there was nothing to come back from, yet she was delusional enough to try to win the slightest bit of mercy from a man by getting pregnant herself.
She would always remember the look on his face at that moment, he gave her a disgusted look as if he was looking at a pile of garbage, "You don't deserve to give me a child, and I won't let this bitch live".
At that moment, it was as if all the love and hate had vanished, and she stared at him in a daze, as if she didn't recognize this man.
His coldness and disgust eventually eroded the last vestiges of warmth in her heart.
