The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 617 Fighting Fire With Fire

Cecelia was lifted onto the operating table.

Tears of despair cascaded from the corners of her eyes like a breached sea.

In that moment of desperation, she found herself foolishly hoping that Xavier would come to her rescue.

However, the man was entirely consumed with rescuing his own son, much like Griselda's relentless pursuit of extracting my baby's bone marrow. Her gaze suddenly darkened as she clenched her fist

On that fateful day, when she discovered that he was the father of her child, a glimmer of joy briefly flickered within her. However, before she could fully savor that happiness, he was on the verge of making a cruel decision regarding her and their unborn baby.

How ironic!

In the past, he had showered her with utmost care and consideration, displaying unwavering concern for their baby. Her heart gradually grew fond of him, believing he was her true love. However, in the end, she uncovered that it was all merely a preposterous deception.

She chastised herself for falling victim to her ex-boyfriend's deception in the past and failing to learn from her previous mistakes. Now, she found herself ensnared once more in a hawk's predatory gaze. She placed the blame solely on herself for her own blindness and foolishness, holding no one else responsible.

At that moment, Cecelia was bound to the operating table like a puppet. Her body was spread out in a humiliating manner, and her mouth was tightly sealed with transparent tape, making it nearly impossible for her to utter even a whimper.

The doctor callously commanded, “Administer the labor-inducing injection to her!”

The icy liquid entered Cecelia's veins, and she remained unaware of the specific drug they used, but its effect was immediate.

Her belly swiftly became unbearably painful, and she silently writhed on the operating table.
