Chapter 214

“Whitney…” Valerie gasped, covering her mouth.

Nolan and Parker looked on in astonishment at the woman with terror etched on her face.

Her hand never left her belly, a mother’s instinctive protective stance.

“Can I beg you? This child will have nothing to do with you from now on. I promise I won’t use it to blackmail you. I won’t ask for child support.

Ludwik, you can be harsh, but you can’t deny a child. You gave him life, he’s seven months along now. In two months, it’ll be born. It’ll smile at me; it will cry and fuss. It’ll be a living and grow up…”

Even last time, when she was hurt and they went to the hospital, he wanted to be heartless, but still, he secretly pocketed the ultrasound image.

The greater the anticipation was, the deeper the disappointment became. Now his head was full of hate. He knew he was beyond reason.

But who could understand the agony of his pride being crushed?
