Chapter 2

I scoffed, "Why does Gracelyn look so unwell? Don't you know the reason?"

Konnor disappeared for three years because of a woman.

How could Gracelyn not lose her mind?

He was about to argue with me, but Hailee suddenly pushed me down.

"Are you still trying to drive a wedge between them?"

I hit the iron railing hard, and the sharp spikes cut the back of my head.

I collapsed to the ground, gripped by intense pain in my abdomen.

Gracelyn's voice trembled with fear. "Hurry... call Dr. Braeden Glenn!"

One of the servants tried to fetch the doctor but was stopped by a single look from Konnor.

Gracelyn grew even angrier. "You're not even listening to what I say now?"

Konnor pretended not to notice Gracelyn's anger.

He said, "Dr. Glenn serves important people. Does this woman deserve it?"

"Bring Mrs. Herrera inside. Do not let her be deceived by others."

Upon hearing this, Konnor's assistant immediately restrained Gracelyn.

Gracelyn looked at Konnor in disbelief. "How dare you! I am your mother."

She tried to break free from the assistant, but her hands and feet were firmly held down.

Gracelyn cried out in pain, but Konnor ignored her.

"Konnor, are you out of your mind?"

I held my belly and struggled to stand up.

"You'd better stop now. If anything happens to the child, you won't survive either."

Konnor smiled calmly and walked up to me.

Then he suddenly kicked the back of my knee.

I was kicked to the ground, my teeth hit the gravel, and blood immediately stained my mouth.

Konnor arrogantly said, "A whore under my roof shames the Herreras. And I'll be the one to cast her out.

"Georgina, don't blame me. Since you can't bear to abort the child, I'll take care of it myself."

I ignored the blood filling my mouth and stared at him in terror.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

Konnor tilted his head and walked closer to me.

"You've cheated on me, so today I'll teach you a lesson."

The crowd around us was only there for the drama.

I knew no one could save me.

I was forced into a corner, with no way out.

I said, "Actually, this child is..."

Before I could finish speaking, a sudden sharp pain shot through my abdomen.

I was showing signs of premature labor.

I curled up in pain, gasping for air.

It felt as if a knife was gouging my flesh apart.

Warm fluid kept pouring out, soaking my pants.

Konnor walked over to me with deliberate steps.

Gripped by overwhelming pain, I clutched Konnor's hand tightly.

I begged, "Please... find a doctor..."

I couldn't care about dignity anymore; I just wanted to save the baby as quickly as possible.

Just this morning, the child was happily moving inside my belly.

Now, it hadn't moved for a long time.

But Konnor forcefully shook off my hand.

"It's too late to beg me now," he said.

Hailee stepped forward, staring at me with arrogance.

She said, "Konnor, she refuses to reveal her lover even at death. Clearly, she hasn't been taught a lesson."

Konnor said with a half-hearted smile, "I've been too merciful. If this were in ancient times, she would have been drowned already."

He waved his hand.

Two security guards dragged me up mercilessly, and the pain in my belly grew worse.

"Konnor, what are you doing? Tell them to let me go.

"If anything happens to my child, you'll all pay for it."

No matter how I cried or threatened, no one responded.

They shoved me into the car, and before I even realized it, the car sped away.

"Konnor, stop, stop now!"

I was so terrified that I spoke with a trembling voice.

Konnor was very pleased with my reaction.

"You're not afraid to cheat, so what's there to fear about a car ride?"

Hailee spotted me wearing an expensive custom maternity dress, and a hint of resentment appeared on her face.

"Konnor, after she made you take the blame for so much, she still dares to wear a custom dress from the royal family."

As soon as she finished speaking, she reached to tear my clothes.

I tried desperately to cover myself, but my arms were firmly restrained.

"Konnor, you will regret this."

Hailee's laughter came from up ahead.

Konnor gripped the steering wheel tightly and said confidently, "No one has been born who can make me regret."

Suddenly, the car braked sharply and I was thrown forward uncontrollably.

Then the car suddenly accelerated again.

I was tossed back and forth, hit multiple times.

I couldn't help but cry out in pain, but my voice was drowned out by the roar of the motor's brakes.

The pain in my stomach was so intense that I lost all feeling, and I sensed something rapidly sinking inside me.

"Konnor, stop now."

I broke down in tears, my eyes overflowing.
