Bianca stood still and clenched her fists until her nails were stabbing into her palms. The jealousy she felt did not ease until she saw the pool of blood on the ground.'Anne Vallois, you are no match for me!' she thought.Meanwhile, Anthony stormed off with Anne in his arms, and even the driver struggled to react to how terrifying his presence was."The hospital!" Anthony commanded.The driver immediately started the engine and took off steadily to the highway. Tension continued to rise inside the car, along with a suffocating scent of blood that filled the air. Anne grunted in pain in Anthony’s arms and quivered uncontrollably.He grabbed her by the chin and reminded her with a low voice, "Take deep breaths..."She followed the command instinctively, but the pain remained, and even her lips were pale.The sweat scrolled down her forehead and to her hair."We are almost at the hospital." Anthony tried to wipe away her sweat but was stunned when he noticed his own blood-staine
However, she was still as pale as a ghost, and there was a dull pain in her stomach.When Anthony kicked her in the stomach, she felt like she had been crushed by a car and every single of her internal organs took the impact. Anne knew that she would not be bleeding so much if she was alright, and judging from the look on Sarah's face, she realized her condition was more severe than she had imagined.Nervous, she asked, "I... What happened? What did the doctor say? Did he break my ribs or something?""No..." Sarah's eyes reddened. "You lost your baby..."Anne could not wrap her head around Sarah's words and thought to herself, 'What does she mean? Is this about the abortion I had before? Why do I feel like that's not what she's referring to?'"What do you mean that I lost my baby?""Your baby is two-month-old. How could it survive a kick like that?" Sarah sighed gloomily.She did not mind that Anne had lost a child since it was Anthony's. However, Sarah did not understand why th
"I can keep it a secret, but I don't think it's the sort of thing that you can keep from her forever. It would be rather difficult for her to get married in the future," Kathryn said.It would be morally wrong for one to hide about infertility in a marriage."I know. I will try to bring it up to her when she's calmed down. By the way, don't let anyone else find out about this, okay? I don't want her to face all the comments from others," Sarah said."Don't worry. Doctors aren't going to go around discussing our patients' private information with others.""Thank you. Thank you so much."Kathryn nodded before leaving.Sarah seemed like a nice person, and it was hard to picture her as a homewrecker. However, Kathryn knew that she had nothing to do with it and decided to stay away from the drama.Sarah finally relaxed after seeking Kathryn's help. She had to handle the situation properly, and Anne did not need to know about this. If everyone else found out that she could no longer h
The door suddenly flew open.Both Sarah and Anne paled when they saw Bianca walking in.Sarah slammed the spoon in her hand onto the table and stood up. "How dare you show your face here? Get lost if you don't want me to pull all your hair out!""What are you talking about? I only came because I heard Anne was rushed to the hospital. How unappreciative for you to chase me out like that. You really have no manners, do you?" Bianca was not at all intimidated by Sarah's threats."Your mother is the one who fails to teach you manners for not teaching you that you should knock before entering a room!" Sarah was not good at fighting, but she was confident when it came to insulting someone.Provoked by the insult directed to her parents, Bianca said, "Whose mother failed, exactly, considering how your daughter seduced someone's man and got knocked up?""Someone's man? Whose? Are you talking about yourself? Is Anthony your man? How is it that I don't know? Anne, did you know about this?"
Sarah did not believe a word Anne said. It was such a traumatic event that one could possibly not care, so she figured that Anne was simply in shock."Who said you can't get pregnant again? The doctors can be wrong sometimes. Don't worry, I will find you the best doctor.""We will see about that when I feel like getting married," Anne said blankly.In truth, she did not care if she could get pregnant again, the reason why Sarah was concerned was because she did not know that Anne already had three children.The only thing that upset Anne at the moment was how ruthless Anthony was to hurt her to a point that she lost the ability to get pregnant permanently, and it would be lying if she was to say that it did not affect her at all."Also, you should go home tonight. I'm fine, so you don't have to say.""What? That won't do. I'm going to stay right here with you," Sarah insisted.Anne did not argue further.After being under observation for one night, she was discharged.Sarah in
As a capable secretary, Oliver naturally knew about it."You are here for work? Why didn't I know that the Archduke has extended its business to the medical field as well?" Anne questioned suspiciously.Oliver shot her a professional smile. "What are you doing here in the hospital, Ms. Vallois? Do you need help?"She tilted her head and said, "Of course, I need your help. Maybe to find out about the results of my abortion and why the baby was still inside me even after the surgery? Or are we actually looking into the same thing? May I know if you've found anything?"Her tone was hostile, but Oliver did not react to it and remained polite and professional. "I'm here for something else, so I don't know much about what you are doing here. However, if the hospital is indeed involved in such a thing, it should not be allowed to keep on running here in Luton.""If you don't know what I'm here for, do not attempt to stop me from doing anything." She directed the warning to Oliver, as wel
'Why is he here?!' She thought. She glanced behind Anthony and saw Oliver stepping in after him, but was still confused as to what was happening. 'Was Oliver really here for work?'"Who are you suing for defamation?" Anthony questioned sharply and the temperature of the room instantly dropped following his appearance.The manager didn't know who had walked in, but was instinctively terrified of Anthony's intimidating presence."This is the CEO of the Archduke Group, Mr. Marwood," Oliver explained.The manager had obviously heard of the company before, but he had not expected for someone that powerful to appear in his office. He quickly recovered from the initial shock and said, "Please take a seat! I didn't know that Mr. Marwood was coming. I'm the manager of Hallmark Hospital, John Walker."Anthony walked past Anne with a cold expression and sat down with his legs crossed.Not daring to take his seat, the manager asked gingerly, "Do you want some tea, Mr. Marwood? I have the fin
Anne tensed at the realization that Anthony was going to get involved in the investigation, but she was certain that Bianca was the one pulling the strings. Anne did not know if Anthony was aware of that, but even if he did not, he would surely side with Bianca when he eventually found out.There was no hope in justice and she simply felt pressured, because she knew that she would have to swallow her pride and accept it when Anthony decided to cover the truth up for Bianca's sake.Just then, Anthony’s phone started vibrating. He glanced at it and answered, "What's wrong?"Noticing his gentle tone, Anne immediately realized that it was Bianca on the phone."I'm at the hospital...sure, come over."'Bianca is coming here?' Anne thought, 'Does that mean I get to confront her? Why do I get the feeling that this isn't that simple?'She then heard knocking on the door and the doctor walked inside.The doctor was bold and had a huge belly with greed written all over his face.The docto
