Chapter 684: 684. Conscience could eat a dog_1

Helen Melendy watched as the Jones couple just left her behind, and in her heart, she couldn’t help but curse quietly, "Despicable pair."

Now, in the living room, only Helen Melendy and Harry Hall remained.

When Adam and his wife were present, Helen Melendy’s unease wasn’t particularly strong, but now in the spacious living room, with only her and Harry remaining, that sense of awkwardness hit her squarely in the face.

For some reason, although she had been able to face Harry with righteous indignation before, now she felt like she was on pins and needles, wishing she could just run away.

With that thought, she stood up to go to William Campbell’s room.

She had just taken two steps when she heard Harry Hall’s voice, tinged with sarcasm, coming from her right—

"What’s the rush? Can’t bear to see me?"

Helen Melendy’s footsteps halted suddenly, naturally catching the tone of sarcasm in Harry’s words.

She looked up, her gaze shifting toward Harry, and saw him watching her with a cold gaze, the corners of his lips curled up in a faint sneer.

The hand that Helen Melendy had hanging by her side clenched tightly, the excruciating pain of losing the child flooding back to her.

It felt like countless beasts ruthlessly gnawing at her heart, causing her whole body to tremble from the pain.

A moment later, she took a deep breath and her pale lips curved into a faint smile, as she retorted,

"Mr. Hall, what do you mean by that? Why wouldn’t I have the face to see you?"

"Helen Melendy!"

Harry Hall’s face darkened with anger at Helen Melendy’s seemingly indifferent demeanor.

He stood up from the sofa and stepped quickly to her, the temperature on his face dropping even colder than before.

"You are not heartless, nor has your conscience been eaten by a dog, you do have a heart, it’s just that your heart has darkened to the point that it could eat dogs!"

In the face of his icy accusations, Helen Melendy just smiled faintly and looked at Harry with the utmost indifference in her eyes.

"Since that’s the case, Mr. Hall, why bother to spout such nonsense to me? Aren’t you afraid that my heart isn’t just dark enough to eat dogs, but could even eat you?"

As her words fell, she tried to walk past Harry, but he abruptly grabbed her slender wrist in his grip, a wrist so thin it seemed it could break with just a squeeze.

Even though his heart was filled with hatred for this callous and heartless woman, the moment Harry grabbed her wrist, he couldn’t suppress the pang of pity.

"Helen Melendy, tell me, why did I have to abort the child?"

Suppressing the pain in his heart, he still couldn’t help but ask her.

He felt Helen Melendy’s body tremble slightly, but it quickly disappeared.

"What else could it be? I’m not married yet, how could I let a child hold me back? If others found out I was a single mother, who would want to marry me? Why would I foolishly burden myself like that?"

Harry Hall watched Helen Melendy in utter disbelief, shocked that she would utter such words, the disappointment and agony in his eyes intensifying.

Helen Melendy, agitated by his look, avoided his gaze and hardened her heart, saying,

"Harry Hall, don’t look at me with those eyes. The child is in my belly, it’s my decision whether to keep it or not."

She clenched her fists so tightly that she broke her nails in her palm, oblivious to the pain at her fingertips.
