He would surely harm me," I confessed. "I assure you, Mark won't react that way," I tried to reassure her, but she tightened her grip on my hand, tears welling up in her eyes. "Promise me, Lowel. Nobody, especially not him, must know about the baby. I plan to leave with our child after just two months. Please, don't disclose anything, can you at least consider telling him?" she pleaded.
