Chapter 240
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 240<\/p>\n
What I said successfully stops Whitney.<\/p>\n
She turns around and looks at me in panic. Then she nervously squeezes out a few words from her mouth.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou… What did you say?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know that you are carrying Lawrence\u2019s child. If you insist on taking me to the operating room, I will tell Frances that you didn\u2019t lose the child, and that the child\u2019s father is Lawrence. What do you think Frances will do?\u201d<\/p>\n
This is Whitney\u2019s weakness and my only stake.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t have other choices.<\/p>\n
Whitney stares at me with a gaze full of resentment. After a long time, she fiercely says to me, \u201cJane, you are lucky today! As long as you don\u2019t tell anyone about that, I won\u2019t hurt your child. And you should keep your words in mind. If you don\u2019t leave Frances, I will let your child die in your stomach anyway. Or, I will kill both of you. \u201c<\/p>\n
What she said makes my flesh creep, and my back is breaking into a cold sweat.<\/p>\n
This woman is too terrifying.<\/p>\n
But the priority now is to keep the child in my stomach. I must agree to whatever she says.<\/p>\n
I nod and say, \u201cI will leave Frances. I will leave before he finds out that I\u2019m pregnant.\u201d<\/p>\n
I assure Whitney. Only then does she feel relieved. She let go and turns around to leave.<\/p>\n
Looking at her receding figure, I finally let out a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n
I go back home after finishing all the examinations with lingering fear. And I see Frances at the door.<\/p>\n
Why does he come back home at noon?<\/p>\n
\u201cFrances.\u201d<\/p>\n
As soon as he enters the house, Whitney comes to meet him with a bright smile.<\/p>\n
Whitney explains, \u201cI don\u2019t know either. I felt a little uncomfortable recently, so I went to the hospital. And I find that the child is still alive. Perhaps the doctor made a mistake in diagnosis. Or maybe God thinks that I am too pitiful to lose the child, so he gives it back to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Whitney says fluently.<\/p>\n
She must have practiced the speech for many times in her mind.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs she pitiful? There must be something hateful about a pitiful person. I think God has also made a mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n
Silvia says angrily.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen you should take good care of the baby. I\u2019ve got things to do. I\u2019ll go back to the company now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Whitney is not disappointed that Frances is returning to the company. In her opinion, the child is the best bargaining chip.<\/p>\n
She fondles her belly and smiles smugly at me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-264","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/264","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=264"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
