But I believed shed come to me even if I didnt reach out .
She was engrossed in believing the child in my womb existed .
I had received word that after Jack was rejected by Eric in the ward , he refused to give up and arranged to meet for a discussion at the same restaurant .
This time , I was determined to expose Elsas true colors to Jack .
I left home 30 minutes late on purpose .
When I arrived at the restaurant , Elsa was visibly impatient .
When she saw me , she masked her annoyance as if her earlier irritation had just been nothing more than my imagination .
Once I took my seat , she started whining , Why are you so late , Jane ? You didnt answer my calls , and I thought youd forgotten about today .
Her tone was casual as if the incident with the spiked juice had never happened .
I was amazed by her nerves of steel .
I decided to play along since she was intent on continuing the act .
I smiled and set my bag beside me .
I left a little late .

The food arrived in no time .
While we ate , I made some small talk with Elsa though she kept steering the conversation toward Jeremiah .

What are you talking about ? Havent we moved on from the juice incident ? Why are you still holding onto it ? Plus , I was the one who ended up in the hospital , and I juiced the freshest fruits for you .
Whenever Elsa lied , she tried to maintain her act even if no one was around to hear it .
I stared at her for seconds somewhat contemplatively .
Then , as if relieved , I smiled .
Is that so ? I guess I was overthinking .
I withdrew my gaze and took out my phone to reply to a few texts .
Just as I tucked the phone back into my pocket , I felt a sudden shove from behind .
Immediately after , I lost my balance and tumbled into the water .
When I surfaced and gasped for air , I saw Jack emerge around the corner .
Relief washed over me .
Thankfully , he had arrived , or my efforts wouldve been in vain .
In my past life , I didnt know how to swim .
But I eventually learned after being sent to a psychiatric hospital where I was repeatedly held underwater in torment .
Elsa mustve assumed I couldnt swim and decided to push me into the pool .
She thought she could kill two birds with one stone by eliminating the child in my womb and killing me altogether .
