Chapter 174 He'll Get What's Coming to Him

Vivian was stunned, and honestly, so was I.

"Arthur, stop! It hurts. Let me go."

I couldn't believe my eyes. This was beyond messed up.

If it wasn't for Vivian, I wouldn't have lost my baby.

Now, it felt like karma was coming full circle.

But every time I saw Vivian's slightly swollen belly, thinking about the little life inside, I felt a pang of compassion.

No matter the love or hate, the kid was innocent.

A bright red stain spread across the pink bed sheet.

Vivian's cries got more desperate, her hair sticking to her tear-streaked face, completely losing it, but Arthur still wouldn't let her go.

Slowly, her cries turned into weak murmurs, "My baby, my stomach hurts so much. Arthur, take me to the hospital; I don't want to die. Hurry."

I felt for her, even if she was once my enemy.

How could I ignore a little life?

I kept banging my head against the wardrobe door, making a racket, feeling like the wardrobe was about to fall apart.

I hoped to snap Arthur out of it, thinking if we got Vivian to the hospital now, she might still have a chance.

But it was all for nothing; Arthur had lost it completely, like a demon with bloodshot eyes.

Amid the blaring music, I thought I heard knocking, heavy and urgent.

I perked up my ears, listening closely.

It wasn't my imagination.

Arthur seemed to hear it too, finally stopping his violent behavior.

If I guessed right, Arthur would escape through the study to the opposite apartment.

The knocking continued, getting louder and clearer.

Vivian lay weakly on the bed, the red stain on the sheet still spreading.

At this rate, she'd bleed out.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, followed by chaotic footsteps rushing in.
