Chapter 429 A Narrow Escape

“Lily, are you all right?“.

James knew that after what he’d done to her last night–treating her worse than an animal–she must hate him to her very core and want no physical contact with him.

But seeing her coughing so hard, pain etched into her face, his heart ached. He still reached out and gently patted her back to help her catch her breath.

When he noticed her hands and feet were bound, he quickly undid the restraints and asked softly, “What did John do to you? Did he hit you? I’ll take you to the hospital.”

“James…”

The moment she saw him, Lily’s tears burst forth like a dam breaking.

If only he’d arrived a few moments earlier…

She had once believed she would never have the chance to be a mother.

By some twist of fate, she was carrying James’s child. She had finally found a bond of blood, someone who was truly hers, and it had filled her with joy.

But in the end… she thought their child was still lost.

Seeing her trembling so hard she couldn’t even stand, James abandoned restraint and pulled her firmly into his arms.

Despair and pain ripped through Lily’s chest.

Hearing the strong, steady beat of his heart, she,couldn’t help but remember the times he had saved her before and felt the urge to hold him tightly in return.

But the image of what she had seen in his study that morning flashed before her.
