**Chapter 146: How to React**Hot tears streamed down Hanna's face as she sat under the shade of a large tree. The pain of having given in consumed her, mixed with humiliation and shame. She felt dirty and used.“A revenge will always be a revenge,” Davis sighed as he climbed the stairs, the weight of guilt heavy on his shoulders.He entered the room without knocking, finding Rudan sitting at the edge of the bed, nibbling on a piece of toast with a malicious smile.“What a messed-up night! That woman is like a cat in heat, huh?” Davis asked, trying to sound carefree, but the unease was clear in his eyes."Maybe that's why she's so skittish, a bundle of nerves. Let's see what happens now," Rudan commented ironically, watching Davis with sharp insight."She's going to hate me even more," Davis sighed, pretending indifference. "But it wasn't me who kissed her first, she was the one who pulled me in. Still... it was one of the most incredible nights of my life. If I'd known it would be li
Chapter 147: Time Will Tell**The next morning, Charles went to a toy store, where Oliver helped him choose several gifts for Haniel. With the assistance of other security guards, the toys were delivered to the children's ward at the hospital. Charles hoped to spark Haniel's curiosity, but the boy remained indifferent to the gifts, while the other children eagerly played and enjoyed themselves around him.Morgan, carefully holding the necklace in the palm of his hand, watched the happy children selecting their toys. A sense of unease washed over him."He's been asking for a lot of his sister's attention," the doctor commented with concern. "He even thinks she abandoned him now that he's awake and has seen his condition.""Has it been difficult to talk to him?" Charles asked, worried."Very," the doctor replied. "Although the treatment is progressing well, the illness can lead to depression, which is also very serious.""Alright..." Charles sighed, clutching the necklace tightly, hopef
**Chapter 148: Time Always Reveals**Hanna kept her eyes shut, overwhelmed with panic, until she felt her body being caught before hitting the ground. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in Rudan’s arms, his brows furrowed in confusion."Are you trying to kill yourself? What should I tell Davis? How will he feel if you and this child meet a tragic end? You should be thinking about this life and not just your own, like a selfish woman," Rudan said sternly, while Hanna turned pale as a sheet."What do you mean?" she stammered, still dazed, as Rudan gently set her on the ground."In the two weeks you've been here, I noticed about three days ago that you've been nauseous and eating very little, avoiding food. Do you think you're good at hiding a pregnancy?" he remarked, observing Hanna closely."And what makes you think I’m with child?" she asked, her eyes wide with fear."I'm not a fool," he replied confidently. "I’ve been with Davis for years, ever since I joined the Farrugia fa
**Chapter 149: Grandma Schemes Something**Hanna clutched the sink tightly, her fingers turning white as they pressed against the cold porcelain edge. Nausea churned in her stomach, a hot, bitter wave rising in her throat. She lowered her head, brown hair falling into her eyes, trying to suppress the urge to vomit.“I’m just feeling a little sick,” she murmured, her voice weak and hoarse. “Maybe it was the food… we tried so many new dishes, flavors I’ve never tasted before… maybe my body hasn’t adapted.”Davis watched her, his eyes narrowed in suspicion.“I don’t believe it,” he said skeptically. “The dishes I picked were from the best restaurant in town, so I doubt that’s the issue.”Hanna raised her head, tears welling up in her brown eyes.“It’s true!” she stammered, her voice trembling. “I feel sick, I’m not making this up.”Davis sighed, crossing his arms and leaning against the bathroom door.“I thought I was gaining your trust, but it seems your mind is still stuck in the past,
:"Cap. 150: Misunderstandings. Maya felt her chest tighten and even thought it might be better if he died now rather than continue suffering. But she couldn't hold back. She ran towards her mother and tried to pull the injection from her hand. 'Why are you trying to take his life?' Maya asserted, gripping her mother. Liara, though surprised, had no intention of backing down. 'Maya... what are you doing? This is the perfect chance to get rid of this burden.' She said angrily. 'What will you say if they find out about this strange child? Shouldn't we get rid of it? If you wanted to get rid of him in the past by handing him over and pretending he didn't exist, it means you never loved that dying child!' Liara pulled the syringe from Maya's hand, who continued to fight against her. 'Stop, Maya!' Liara shouted forcefully and ran towards the boy. But Maya grabbed her by the waist, pulling her back. Liara tried to break free, but ended up stabbing Maya with the needle. A bit of th
Cap. 151: Lies Have Short Legs. Davis anxiously awaited the results. Rudan, on the other hand, couldn’t stay still. He paced back and forth, deep in thought. That man trusted his instincts and knew that if the test results confirmed his suspicions, Davis would find out the child wasn’t his and could take drastic action. Rudan knew Davis like the back of his hand; they had been together for ten years. 'I need to take this call,' Rudan said, stepping out of the room quickly. He headed toward the lab, where his sudden entrance startled the doctors working there. 'Sir, you can’t be here,' one of the doctors warned him. 'Where are the test results for Hanna?' Rudan asked anxiously. The doctor who had attended to Hanna when she was brought to the hospital approached him. 'What are you doing here? The results are being prepared for delivery.' 'I want those results now,' Rudan said firmly. His authoritative gaze and intimidating aura left the doctors apprehensive. The doctor holding th
"Cap. 152: The Worst of Cruelties. Davis paced back and forth like a caged animal, his impatient steps echoing in the empty hospital corridor. With each passing second, anxiety tightened around his chest. Finally, the door opened with a soft creak, and Dr. Gordon stepped out, his serene face betraying a calmness that contrasted with the storm of emotions raging within Davis. 'Mr. Davis Farrugia?' the doctor asked in a calm, professional tone, holding out a badge. 'Yes, that's me,' Davis replied, his voice hoarse with nerves. 'Are you Dr. Gordon?' Dr. Gordon nodded, and a sigh escaped his lips, heavy with a weight Davis couldn’t comprehend. 'It seems you’re here for a specific reason...' he said, his scrutinizing eyes fixed on Davis. 'Yes,' Davis took a deep breath, trying to control the tremors in his hands. 'What are the risks?' 'Her pregnancy is in the early stages, less than ten weeks,' Dr. Gordon explained, his voice soothing like balm. 'The procedure will be quick a
Cap. 154: The Sensitivity of a Bodyguard. Davis, in turn, was restless in the living room while Rudan remained impassive. 'How long is she going to take to recover from this miscarriage?' Davis asked abruptly, his eyes fixed on the floor. 'It depends...' Rudan sighed, his shoulders slumped in despair. 'If you’re referring to her body or her mind.' 'Both!' Davis exclaimed, his voice heavy with anguish. 'Her mind will never be the same again,' Rudan said with regret. 'She will hate you forever. As for her body... I don’t know.' He paused, searching for the right words. 'Wait until her next menstrual cycle. Her body will take time to recover too. Just let Hanna rest.' 'She’s my wife,' Davis retorted, his voice cold and cutting. 'How can I leave her in peace? Besides, we’re going to try for our own child, if that’s what she wants. But she’s not going to carry another man’s child while married to me.' Rudan smiled ironically. 'Among all the things you’ve done, this is one o
