Seraphina Quinn struggled to sit up, but was quickly pushed back down.
Just then, a lavishly dressed, bejeweled woman approached from outside the operating room door.
The woman walked straight up to Seraphina Quinn and looked down at her coldly. "I'm Elise York's mother."
Seraphina Quinn's eyes widened. She said coldly,
"Do you realize what you're doing is illegal?"
Mrs. York chuckled. "How could this be illegal? Damian Fairchild's mother has already signed the consent form for your procedure. Besides, the child you're carrying isn't healthy. The abortion we're performing is perfectly reasonable, legal, and by the book."
Seraphina Quinn took a deep breath, forcing herself to remain calm. "Mrs. York, are you sure you want to do this?"
Mrs. York's expression darkened, her voice filled with fury.
"Why wouldn't I be? If you weren't standing between Elise and Damian Fairchild, would he treat her this way?"
