"She's... not pregnant." Dr. Elantra's voice cut through the crowd, and I froze, staring at her in utter shock.
Did she just lie?
"Are you sure? Doctor, she has to be pregnant!" Elowen said, stepping forward, and my eyes immediately turned cold.
"I have to be pregnant? Elowen, are you trying to slander me? Or perhaps you want me dragged out and disgraced, don't you?" I asked. She immediately realized her mistake and shut her mouth, but Bibi frowned. Stepping closer, she sneered.
"Your very words make it sound like you're trying to frame Raven for being pregnant, or perhaps do something that would make it look like she's pregnant! Oh, that's why you chose her to be the second person checked, isn't it?"
"Spill!" Bibi yelled when Elowen remained silent.
Elowen's eyes darkened sadly. "You misunderstood me. I would never say something so evil about my sister," she said, lifting her head upward. Tears were already visible in her eyes.
