At the hospital. "I won't abort the child. Nobody can touch my child. I'll fight whoever lays a finger on it!" Nina protected her abdomen with her arms. She continually stepped backward like a panicked rabbit, trying hard to keep her distance from the doctors in white coats from nearing her. "I'm sorry, Ms. Langdon. We can't disobey Second Young Master Mallory's orders!" The eldest doctor said with an indifferent expression. It was not the first time that the doctor had performed abortions. In fact, he was quite experienced at it. Second Young Master Mallory was a playboy, and the doctor had performed many abortions for his women. She was not the first one, and she would not be the last. "Come out here, Pierre Mallory, you scoundrel!" Nina yelled hysterically. The strong doctors pinned down Nina's arms and legs. The room door suddenly opened, and Pierre came in with a beautiful woman with an arrogant demeanor next to him. When she saw Nina, she narrowed her eyes as th
The cab sped along the road and stopped at a hospital belonging to Mallory Corporation. Bianca threw the driver a twenty-dollar bill and rushed out of the cab before getting the change. The spacious hospital ward smelled of disinfectant. Nina's diminutive figure was curled up miserably on the bed. Bianca felt her heart wrench and her throat go dry. She could not speak a word. She walked in front of Nina and called out her name. "Nina…" Nina turned to look at her with teary eyes. Bianca hugged her but accidentally touched her abdomen, which caused her to yelp in pain. When Bianca lifted Nina's hospital shirt and saw that her abdominal area was thickly wrapped in bandages, her eyes opened wide, and her mind started buzzing. "Your stomach…" Nina's shoulder-length hair was scattered over her neck, and her face was wet with tears. More horrifically, bloodstains could be seen on the bandages wrapped around her abdomen, which made Bianca feel extremely uneasy. Bianca's f
Xavier stared at Bianca's furious face and suddenly smiled. However, there was not a hint of guilt in his eyes. Instead, he spoke with some bitterness in his tone. "Bianca, I noticed that you've never smiled at me when we're together. It's either you face me with an emotionless face, or you look as though you want to kill me. It's just Nina, right? I didn't do anything to her. Is she worth your time and effort?" Right after he finished speaking, he felt a searing pain on his other cheek. Bianca slapped him out of anger again! Her hands were trembling. She was not going to be satisfied no matter how many times she slapped him! Her eyes were turning bloodshot out of anger. "How dare you say that you didn't do anything to Nina? Do you have a conscience, Xavier Tanner? If you hadn't gotten someone to abduct Nina, would she have been violated and become pregnant? Would she have to be forced to carry out the abortion by the violator? It's all because of you. How could you shake i
Meanwhile, Nina was curled up on the hospital bed, sleeping. However, nightmares continually tormented her, which made her unable to rest. The clarion ring of her phone woke her up from her nightmare. She took a deep breath and saw that it was her mother calling her. Reflexively, she answered the call. "Hello, Mom…" she said weakly. Anna's harsh voice was heard over the phone. "You've finally answered the phone! Do you still remember that you have a mother? Where have you been for the past month and a half? You don't come back home, but you also don't call me. What's the point of me raising you, you ingrate? Have you been sleeping with another man? Get back home this instant! The money that you gave me the last time is no more. Think of some way to get me more money!" Nina was covered in a thick blanket, but she could not stop shivering. The person on the other end of the call was her mother. After Nina went missing for a month and a half, all she got from her mother was in
Nina was still recovering from an operation and she could barely move. Her mother came to ask for money from her and was not even concerned about her wellbeing. Did Nina have any conscience? Did she deserve to be a mother? When the door opened, the people in the ward turned to look in that direction. Nina's eyes were full of pain and confusion. The young nurse looked visibly relieved. Anna gritted her teeth and became angrier. "Bea…" Nina said hoarsely. Her lips were dry and cracked. She sounded very aggrieved, like a bullied little animal who did not know how to retaliate. Bianca's heart wrenched when she saw Nina like that. She walked over and placed her handbag next to Nina's pillow. She wiped Nina's tears from her eyes and said, "Don't be angry. All you need to do now is rest. You shouldn't be agitated. That won't be good for your recuperation. Understand?" Before Nina could say anything, Anna's plump body waddled over. She pointed a finger at Bianca and sta
Bianca wanted to stay the night with Nina, but Nina insisted that she leave. "The nurses at the hospital will be able to take care of me. You don't have to spend your entire day with me," Nina said. "Lanie and Rainie are still young, and they need their mother's company," she continued, "If you stay here, what should the kids do if they miss their Mommy?" Also, Luke had been calling Bianca non-stop. Bianca did not get to stay in the hospital but instead returned to Luke's mansion. She had just stepped into the mansion when she realized that something was amiss. However, she could not say exactly what it was. When she opened the front door, she was utterly shocked by what she saw! The entire house had transformed into a sea of flowers. The wall in the middle was decorated with balloons of all colors and shapes. Pink gauze fabric surrounded the living room, which added a romantic touch to the pastoral scene. An exquisite cake was placed in the middle of the table. T
Bianca looked at Luke infatuatedly. The man whom she loved was like a perfect creation from heaven. His eyes, his nose, his lips, his silhouette; every feature was perfect. His character was cold and aloof, but he seemed so gentle when he smiled. Luke handed the bouquet of roses to Bianca and said, "Happy birthday." The roses were fresh in the middle of winter, and the bouquet was adorned with Canadian goldenrods. It was exquisite and beautiful. The roses of different colors were fragrant and elegant. It carried the meaning: All these colors say I love you. That will be my lifelong promise. Women are romantic creatures. They could not withstand the temptation of flowers. Bianca was shocked as she took the bouquet. "Thank you," she said, surprised. That was not the first time that she received flowers from a man. Jean used to give her flowers on special occasions to gain her favor, but her sentiments back then were different from now. Luke had a serious personality,
Luke hugged Bianca in his arms. He wrapped his strong arms around her delicate waist and showered her with indulgent kisses. The kisses that carried the fragrance of cream, cherry, and strawberry seemed to be especially tasty. Bianca was lost in the man's gentle kisses. His embrace was too warm, and the light was too gentle. Luke's long eyelashes seemed almost transparent under the light, and Bianca was moved by his unbelievably gentle expression. The kisses lasted for a very long time until Luke's hands started to reach beneath her shirt. Bianca came to her senses. "Luke, shall we… eat some cake for now?" The handsome man hugged her body dominatingly and said hoarsely, "All I want to eat now is you." Those words made Bianca's heart thump faster. Bianca noticed that the two children were not there. She pushed herself away from his embrace. "Um, let's finish the birthday celebration first… Where's Lanie and Rainie?" She had always been afraid whenever Luke looked at
