Becky smiled and clasped her hand in Charlotte's..She looked at her and smiled sweetly..

"That's wonderful, Charlotte. it's been a long time since I heard you say that word," Becky told her.

"Yes, but I don't think he feels the same way, so we'd better keep this between us," she said, and Becky nodded.

"Don't worry, I'll find out from Seth if he is interested in you," smiled Becky.

"No, No, no, Becky, please," Charlotte said, and Becky laughed.

"All right all right.. "Becky smiled. at the same time a nurse entered the room.

"Mrs. Lynch, your test results are very good.. You may get ready and go, " said the nurse, and Becky thanked her.. the nurse took the serums out of Becky's hands and then left the room.

"Charlotte, will you help me get ready?"she told her, and Charlotte nodded.. She helped Becky get out of bed so she can get dressed..

"Do you want to take a bath first?" Charlotte asked, but Becky shook her head.

"No, I'll take a bath at the hotel.. Will you tell me what it was that brought you and Roman so close?"Becky asked.. Charlotte felt like she was getting hooked. She didn't know if she should talk to Becky.

"Get dressed first and I'll tell you later," Charlotte smiled.. Becky got ready and then sat down on the bed. She wanted to talk to Charlotte first and then tell Seth they could go.

"So what was it that brought you and Roman so close that he could stay with you and then end up in a kiss?"Becky asked her, and Charlotte lowered her gaze. She felt ashamed. Shame that she hadn't spoken to her friend and then about what she had done.

"Um.. Bex.. there's something I haven't told you, " Charlotte told her, and Becky wondered.

"Yes, I remember you told me some time ago that you had some secret.. did you share it with Roman?"Becky asked, and Charlotte nodded.

"Yes.. yesterday.. he was so bad at me and he was so aggressive.. I couldn't stand it.. and I told him," said Charlotte guiltily.

"You want to tell me what it is that Roman knows and I don't?"Becky asked, and Charlotte puffed..

"During my marriage I was pregnant," Charlotte begins to say.. Becky caught her by the arm compassionately.

"You lost the baby.. Charlotte, I'm sorry, " Becky told her. Charlotte timidly raised her gaze and met that of Becky.

"No, Becky, I haven't lost the baby... I had an abortion, " Charlotte told her under her breath.. Becky let go of her friend's hand and got out of bed.

"What Have you done?"Becky asked, not being able to manage what she was hearing .

"I had an abortion.. " said Charlotte almost apologetically..

"I lost my child 2 times.. with great difficulty I'll be able to bring this child  I have within me into the world, and it is doubtful whether I'll be able to have another one, and you tell me that you have thrown your child?'Becky asked her.

"Let me explain, please," Charlotte said, but Becky was angry.. she didn't want to hear her.

"I really wish I didn't knew. Go, Charlotte.. I don't want to hear you," Becky told her. Charlotte felt a throbbing in her heart.

"Bex.. let me explain, " she tried to persuade her, but Becky wouldn't listen..

"Go away.. tell Seth to come get me out of here and get out.. I don't want to see you again" she told her.. Charlotte felt the earth beneath her feet.. She paused, and with slow steps left the room..Tears ran from her eyes.. At the same time, Roman and Seth were returning from the coffee shop.. Roman saw her thus, and felt alarmed.
