"Daniel! Why? Why would you kill your own child with your own hands?"

she curled up, the intense pain coming from her abdomen almost causing her to faint, with warm liquid continuously flowing from her lower body.

Just now, her husband had forced her to take abortion medication.

And at this moment, this man was sitting by her bed, his cold hand gripping her chin, relishing her miserable state.

"Bella, the way you treated Leah is how I'm treating you today. How does it feel to lose a child slowly?"

Her face was pale, a pained groan coming from her mouth, she thrashed about trying to shake off his hand.

"I said, I did not harm her child, how many times do you want me to say it!"

"No?" The cold hands suddenly grip tighter, to the point of almost crushing her chin.

"The captured people confessed that everything was directed by you. Why are you still arguing? Leah child was already eight months along, but died in her womb. How could you do such a thing?"

Bella’s lips trembled their color draining, her heart pained much more than her body.

She had explained this to him countless times, but no matter how much she explained, he still wouldn’t believe her.

Then a divorce agreement was thrown in her face without any discussion, "Sign it."

Abortion! Divorce!

Ever since he believed that she had harmed Leah, she knew this day would come.

She had imagined countless ways that Leah would take revenge on her.

She never thought that he would directly threaten the life of her child.

This was his flesh and blood after all!

Her face paled incredibly. Holding her belly that was eight months along, she shakily got up, leaning against the nightstand.

She tightly held the divorce agreement, her scarlet eyes fixing on him, "I can agree to a divorce! You don't trust me and you want to avenge Leah, fine, so be it!

After all, you're as stupid as a pig, what more can I say.

But this child is also a part of the Johnson family, have you considered me, mother, or grandfather's opinion? Dan, even a fierce tiger does not eat its cubs, to want to kill your own child, you are lower than an animal."

His deep black eyes stared back at her; the surrounding air seemed to gradually turn frosty.

He glanced at her protruding belly, feeling more ironic, and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, "What if I told you the child, you're carrying isn't mine at all?"

Bella heart skipped a beat, after two seconds of shock, she responded with a scoff, "What kind of joke are you making?"

"That night at the Presidential celebration, Leah slipped a love potion into your drink. You accidentally ended up in another man's room and conceived this child."

"So, there's no need to get mother and grandfather's approval, because what you're carrying isn't part of the Johnson family."

Shock flashed across Bella eyes. She moved forward, with disbelief clutching at her collar,

"No! That's impossible, you're lying! You're lying!! That night, it was clearly you, you've always claimed this child as yours before."

In their three years of marriage, although he rarely touched her, she was sure that the man's body and scent that night undoubtedly belonged to him!

He was lying to her!

"Because Leah made a mistake, and I felt guilty for you, I acknowledged this child."

Listening to his words, her pupils suddenly dilated, a ridiculous answer forming in her heart.

"So you're saying, from the start you knew she drugged me, but to protect her, you acknowledged this child in front of everyone?"

Steve furrowed his brows. He only discovered this matter after investigating. He got angry, furious, and even reprimanded Leah. Leah knew she was wrong.

It was that night, when he was drunk, that he also made a mistake and had a relationship with Leah which caused her to become pregnant.

Guilt flickered in his eyes, but he did not provide any explanation, "Yes."

"Slap!"

The clear, loud sound of a slap resounded next to his ear, and he was stunned momentarily. The next moment, hot pain came from his face.

While clutching her belly in excruciating pain, Bella mustered every ounce of her strength to slap him.

How ruthless!

She was still his wife, yet he failed to take any action even after learning about this matter.

Was Leah so important to him, more important than his dignity?

"Dan, do you believe in karma? Leah losing her child is her retribution! And you too will pay for this!" She screamed.

His eyes flared with rage, and in a few strides, he cornered her against the wall, one hand gripping her throat.

"Say that again!? If it wasn't for your scheming when I was unconscious from the car accident, forcing Leah away to become my wife, why would she have to resort to such a thing?"

By means, she forced Leah, and became his wife!

Is that so?

Back then, due to a car accident that lead to renal failure, she donated a kidney to save him.

As repayment, the old Mr. Johnson promised to let her and Dan to marry. The only requirement was that she couldn't tell him about the kidney transplant.

And Leah, who was betrothed to Dan at that time, upon hearing that he was about to become brain-dead, had promptly called off the engagement and fled abroad.

A chilling look flashed in Bella eyes as she slowly removed the hand from her throat, "Dan, I never owed you anything."

He pressed down his urge to strangle her, observing as she slowly made her way towards the exit.

She was currently 8 months pregnant. Abortion pills would no longer work, but as her water had broken prematurely and she was wracked with unbearable pain, it was clear that the birth of her child was imminent.

So she had to go to the hospital now.

"Where do you think you're going?"

His icy-cold voice echoed in a manner that was utterly terrifying.

There were servants around who heard the commotion. Seeing the pain-stricken Bella, they quickly went forward to support her. "Madam?"

She no longer had any strength left, her body fully supported by the servants, "Please... take me to the hospital."

The servant looked at Bella with her condition, it was clear that she was about to give birth, and immediately agreed.

Steve, his eyes narrowed, watched the trembling woman, "Leah lost her child, what makes you think I would spare yours?"

A deafening thunderclap shattered the silence outside, and Bella heart trembled violently once again.

She clenched her teeth and strained to ask, “Given that you don't believe the child is yours, by what right do you think you can decide his fate?”

Perhaps something in her words had pricked his heart. A pervasive chill radiated from him, making the nearby servants shudder.

There was silence for a moment before his thin lips part into a mock smile.

“Very well, since it’s like this, we're divorced. You have no right to command the servants here. If you want to go to the hospital, you'll have to get there by your own efforts...”

Deep despair welled up in her eyes. She drew in a deep breath and closed her eyes.

What kind of man had she fallen in love with...

Not waiting for him to continue his sentence, Bella clenched her teeth and firmly pushed away the hands of the servant. She walked out alone.

Steve dark eyes narrowed.

Outside, it was raining cats and dogs. The icy rainwater splashed onto her, chilling her to the bone.

She endured wave after wave of intense abdominal pain, trudging forward into the gloom, as if there was no end in sight.

Then, all of a sudden, her foot slipped. She managed to prop herself up with her hand, preventing her belly from hitting the ground. Trying to stand up, her heavy body failed her, and she fell again. Darkness crept into her vision, and soon, she fell into complete oblivion…
