"Are you serious?" Jullius asked after managing to recover from his shock.
The doctor nodded. "Yes, sir. This is the result of the ultrasound. And this is the fetus in your wife's womb."
Jullius took the ultrasound result. He examined the fetus pointed out by his doctor.
"Well then, I'll excuse myself," said the doctor. Now, in the room, there was only Bella with Jullius.
Bella stared at Jullius for a long time. She was actually worried. She didn't know what Jullius was really thinking. Jullius remained silent for a momen
Bella was having lunch alone in the cafeteria. Usually, she would have lunch with Damian. Bella didn't have many friends. Just a few, and Damian was one of them. Bella was still studying at the same place, just in a different department. "Hey!" Bella was startled when her shoulder was suddenly tapped. She looked back. It seemed like Bella recognized the voice. And indeed, it was true. It was one of her classmates. Bella smiled. "Hey," she greeted. The woman sat beside her, while the other two friends sat in front of her. "I saw you were alone. Where's your friend?" Madison asked. That's her name, Madison. Bella nodded. "Oh, uhm, he's busy. Not attending class," Bella replied, knowing they were talking about Damian. "In that case, is it okay for you to sit here?" Madison asked. "Oh, of course, it's fine!" Bella replied with a friendly face. Madison smiled warmly or pretended to. Because upon closer inspection, her smile seemed insincere. But always thinking positively about h
Madison cleared her throat. "Ahem." The atmosphere was a bit awkward just now."Come on. The sky is getting dark!" Bella followed Madison, who was pulling her arm.In reality, they didn't study at all. They even took Bella to a place she didn't like. The nightclub!Bella was even forced to drink alcohol. Bella had refused, but they kept forcing her. "Come on! Let's just have fun now! No need to study! Boring!" Jack said to Bella."Jack is right, Bella! This is our night to have fun! Let's forget all those boring routines!"Bella naturally refused, but Jack held her body from behind. Jack's body was clearly much bigger than hers, and his strength was so great that it was very difficult for Bella to resist. Then, in front of her, Madison and Cindy laughed. They didn't feel that what they were doing was wrong.Now they were on the dance floor. Everyone seemed busy with their own activities. Some were busy dancing, vibing with the music played by the DJ. Some were also cuddling, shameless
"Damn it! Hurry up! I'm risking my life right now!" She ended the call abruptly. Emma glanced in the rearview mirror. The car was getting closer. Emma wouldn't let that happen.Luckily, her memory was strong enough to remember the way back clearly. This situation wasreallydetrimental to her. The road was completely deserted! She couldn't ask for help from anyone!BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!The car behind her kept honking, trying to intimidate Emma. In Emma's car, the kidnapper stared at her car intensely."You insolent woman! You're making my job harder, you bitch! Just wait until you're caught! I'll rape both of yo
When they arrived at the hospital, Brandon immediately shouted."Nurse!"Several people ran towards him with a gurney."There are two of them!" Brandon said, panicking. One male nurse ran to get another gurney."Be careful!" Brandon shouted. Tears fell as he saw Bella being taken away. He felt a pang seeing so much blood on her body. Damian never imagined that Bella would have an accident like this. If only he had stopped Bella from going with those problematic friends this afternoon, none of this would have happened!"Stupid! You're such a fool!" Brandon kept blaming himself for all of this. Even Emma was involved. His two closest women.The nurses took Bella and Emma to the emergency room. It was chaotic when Brandon felt his phone vibrating in his jeans pocket.Bella's name was displayed. A bit confused, but he still answered."Where is Bella?" Just hearing that short question, he knew it was Julius. Bella's uncle. Or maybe... more than that. He really disliked this man, but the ma
Damian looked at his master, he helped Julius to sit down. Julius felt his chest tightening. His breath was caught. Knowing that his master could no longer listen to the doctor's explanation, Damian took over. But suddenly Julius stood up again, pushing Damian aside in front of the doctor."How is she now?" Julius asked."The patient is still unconscious and needs further treatment. There needs to be an operation. The fetus in her womb also needs to be removed because it is feared to endanger the patient's life." Julius felt even more weakened.But Julius had no other choice. He had to save Bella. "Please proceed with the operation, doctor," Julius said firmly.The doctor nodded. "Very well. We will perform some procedures before the operation begins."It has been four days since that day. Bella's operation went smoothly. Jullius felt grateful, as it felt like he was dying when he found out that Bella was undergoing surgery. As if he was the one undergoing the medical procedure.Howev
Jullius' footsteps felt heavy. He could hear Bella's sobs, even though she was trying very hard to hold them back. Jullius knelt before his beloved. His tears never stopped flowing. They flowed like a river, soaking the hospital bedsheet. His face, which was pale before, now looked redder. Especially around his nose.Jullius looked at her with sorrowful eyes. He wiped Bella's tears with his thumb. "I'm here, Bella. I'm here."And Bella's cries grew louder. Jullius hugged the bandaged body very carefully."The crying didn't stop. Bella was still in shock.'Why? Why is this happening to me?' Bella asked, her voice almost gone.Julius was silent. 'Why did God take my baby too soon?' Various questions came out of her mouth.Suddenly, Julius was surprised when Bella hit her own head. Her hands were difficult to move because of the pain, but her punch to her head earlier was very strong. Bella didn't feel any pain at all.'Bella, don't do that! Don't hurt yourself,' Julius tried to calm Bel
Nana's mother crouched in front of Bella. "You want to have children, don't you?" the woman asked.Julius was surprised. He wanted to tell the woman that it was a very sensitive topic for Bella to hear right now. But Bella stopped him with her gaze. She nodded her head, as if telling Julius that she was okay. Finally, Julius let the woman speak. Although he was still very cautious.Bella nodded. She gently stroked her stomach. There, apparently, was a deep tear. Because it was hit by a large shard of glass when her body was thrown back during the car accident. It was one of the causes of Bella's miscarriage."I was pregnant before. But I miscarried," Bella said. Judging from her facial expression, Bella tried to remain strong even though it was very difficult. Because she bit her own lip, holding back the tears that would come out when she saw Nana's mother realize what had happened."Oh, my darling," the woman hugged Bella tightly. Bella returned the hug. Very tightly. Her chest tigh
Tap. Tap. Tap.The sound of footsteps echoed like a death knell for Jack, Madison, and Cindy. They were already very weak, but not allowed to die.Jullius wanted to kill them slowly. The demon inside him arose. The energy Jullius felt was the same as decades ago when he killed his own foster family.Cre-eak...The door opened. The sound it produced added to the chilling atmosphere for the three individuals. The illumination only came from the candles placed on the walls, making Jullius's face not fully visible. Just a silhouette.But when the man spoke with his husky baritone voice, both Jack, Madison, and Cindy knew they were finished tonight."Do you think you can escape from me?" Jullius asked.Tap. Tap. Tap.Jullius approached them closer.Cindy looked horrified as she saw something in the middle of Jullius. Not a large object, but very frightening.It was a box cutter!"Sir... please. Forgive us. We didn't mean to—""Shhh..." Jullius silenced them by placing his left index finger
