Loved You Once But He's My Forever

Billionaire Is 80

Chapter 80 Whose Child Are You Carrying?

Lake slapped Anna's checks hard, leaving them visibly wollen.

Everyone seemed to pity Anna, but I felt this was hardly enough to atone for her deeds. With everything Anna had done, even a hundred or a thousand deaths would not suffice.

I wished I could have a physical form again to personally return those slaps!

To peel her skin, break her bones, and make her truly feel the pain she deserved.

My dad clung to his earlier statement, "Explain clearly, what do you mean the orchid is poisonous? Would I hann my mother?"

"Of course not. Luke Tesponded, "but it's not hard to imagine someone manipulating you to act. Think about it, when Grandma had her accident, why was she the only one there?"

Although my parents did not fully understand, Luke's points began to resonate with them.

"It does seem like too many coincidences....

"Dad, Mom. I've already explained everything about Grandma's situation and provided evidence about Chloe. I was only trying to help a friend by making inquiries, so why am I being blamed? Luke, how am I connected to the poison found in the orchid? Chloe's disappearance pains me too, but I can't change what has happened. If just being alive is my fault, then I'm willing to die to make amends for Chloe."

With those words, Anna dashed towards the kitchen, clearly distraught, and my mom hurried after her.

Luke, tired of Anna's dramatics, watched with exasperation. "Mom, don't worry, she's not going to do anything drastic!"

However, Luke underestimated Anna. A person who is truly desperate can go to lengths that even he would not anticipate.

I suspected that feeling cornered, Anna might take extreme actions.

It remained to be seen if Luke would be deceived by her yet again.

A shout from the kitchen maid echoed, "Ms. Anna, stop put down the knife!"

Pandemonium followed inside, and when my mom arrived, she found Anna with her wrist bleeding profusely as the maid wrested the knife from her.

"Enough of this madness!" my dad shouted, pressing a towel against her wound, "We need to get to the hospital, now?

My mom fixed a stern gaze on Luke, accusingly saying. Are you happy now? You pushed Chloe away, and now you're pushing Anna over the edge?"

Luke looked vacantly at the spreading pool of blood on the floor, deep in thought.

Eventually, he accompanied them to the hospital where he unexpectedly ran into Nelson and his team.
