“Don’t run! Catch her!” The footsteps behind Stephanie grew louder, accompanied by a rough, raspy voice. Frightened, her face turned pale as she desperately ran toward the elevator.

“Ah, let me go!” Stephanie kept pressing the elevator button frantically. She was about to rush in just as the elevator doors opened when a tall man with a fierce expression on his face came charging at her down the stairs before pinning her down.

The man throttled and warned coldly, “You heard it just now. Dominick ordered for the child to be removed. You’d better cooperate, or don’t blame us for being nasty!”

away!”

“Mr. Wellington said you have no right to bear his child!” A man in a white coat hurried over and shouted impatiently to two other men, “Hurry up and do it!”

“No!” Stephanie was on the verge of weeping with fear,

“Let me go. I don’t want to go ahead with the procedure…” She trembled in fear as she struggled under the man’s grip and cried out desperately, “Help me! Please, help me. I don’t want this. Let go!”.

“What’s that noise?”

The hospital was undergoing a change in shift and the corridors of the inpatient department were relatively quiet. Two nurses happened to pass by and they looked around in confusion.

“What are you doing?”

The nurses walked toward the source of the noise and saw three men acting suspiciously at the stairwell entrance.

“We’re just disposing of some special medical waste…” Shortly after, they heard a loud bang as two men in white coats forcefully. closed a large lid.

The nurses found it odd, but the three men had already pushed the large white bin into the elevator.

“I’ve never seen these doctors before. Which department are they from?”

“Forget it, our hospital is so large and we often have interns coming in…” Another nurse remarked without giving it much thought as she watched the elevator doors shut slowly.

After the elevator doors closed, it quickly descended to the underground parking garage on the basement level.

Stephanie was thrown into a large bin filled with dirty bed sheets, the lid pressing down tightly on her. She struggled to breathe and she began to lose consciousness as her brain was slowly deprived of oxygen.

She wondered in despair, ‘Why is Dominick so cruel? Why won’t he hear me out…

As Stephanie felt increasingly hopeless and despondent, her mind grew fuzzier. Just before she passed out, she faintly heard a
