Julian's Stand in Wife

On that rainy night, the roads were practically empty.

Rain fell like shards of glass illuminated by the streetlights, making one feel light-headed.

Oliver stepped all the way on the accelerator.

Fanny was slumped across the back seat, grasping her stomach in pain as she groaned in disbelief. “Oliver…”

No matter how many times she called out to him, he continued driving like a lunatic.

He refused to look back at her.

Fanny curled herself up into a ball as the pain became increasingly intense. She felt as if her body was all drained of blood and her breath was taken away. Her body trembled with excruciating pain.

“Oliver…” she cried, tears streaming down her face.

Oliver continued looking straight ahead as if he heard nothing, accelerating like a madman.

Yet, it hurt so much.

“Our baby…”

The baby was gone.

The baby was gone!
