Chapter 20

Shela was grinning; she had got the thorn removed from the heart!

“Letitia,” Elgin sensed something was off, “why are you bleeding?”

Even in excruciating pain, Letitia didn’t spill the beans about her pregnancy.

She nearly bit through her lower lip, “I-I’m just on my period…”

Elgin scrunched up his face in disgust

“Mr. Ramirez, should we take her to the hospital?” Shela asked, “She looks like she’s in a lot of pain.”

The kid’s gone anyway Once we get to the hospital and Mr. Ramirez finds out she was knocked up, I can smear her name, saying she had slept with some other guy!

Two birds, one stone!

“It’s just her period, Elgin said with icy indifference. She won’t die. Leave her be.”

He walked past her without a shred of pity, not even a glance..

Shela followed him, smug and satisfied.

Letitia, propping herself up on the ground, dragged her body toward the exit, “Help… help me…”

“Madam! The butler was horrified at the sight. “What in the world is…”

Letitia grabbed the butler’s hand like it was a lifeline, “Take me to the hospital, now!”

There might still be a chance to save the baby if there’s time!

“Right away!” The butler sprang into action!

At the hospital, the doctors wasted no time and rushed Letitia into the OR!

The second she hit the operating table, Letitia couldn’t hold on anymore and blacked out.

Two hours later.

“Thank goodness, the doctor emerged, taking a deep breath, “Mother and child are safe!”

The butler was gobsmacked. Mother… and child? Mrs. Ramirez was pregnant?

Nurses wheeled Letitia out of the OR

Just then, Shela’s father, Mark Ward, happened to pass by wearing a mask.

He glanced over casually, then realized the woman on the bed was Letitial

So, the ‘mother and child safe’ the doctor mentioned was her!

Mark immediately ducked into a corner and called Shela, “Shela, we’ve got trouble!”

“What could possibly be wrong, Dad?” Shela thought she was home free, “You’re getting all worked up over nothing.” “just passed by the OR and heard the doctor say… Letitia and the baby are safe!”

Shela’s phone slipped from her grasp.

What?! Despite the danger, Letitia’s baby was saved! Unbelievable!

When Letitia came to, It was already dark.

She stared at the ceiling as tears slowly streamed down her face.
