Chapter 1044
Chapter 1044 How Dare You Harm My Child?
"You'd better leave, Wayne. The caretaker might wake up any time..." Leia begged. Her eyes were transfixed on the caretaker on the couch, wondering why she did not notice despite them talking at a normal volume.
"I knocked her out." Wayne turned on the bedside light, which dazzled Leia's eyes.
He sat down on the bed and looked at her pale face without any sign of care.
Leia grabbed the bed sheets tightly.
Wayne's gaze slowly shifted down from her face to her stomach.
Leia noticed that. She wanted to cover her stomach with the blanket.
Wayne's gaze turned vicious suddenly. "How dare you harm my child, Leia!"
Leia shuddered when facing his gaze. "It was an accident, Wayne. It's all Bianca's fault. Bianca made me lose the child."
Wayne reached out and touched her stomach.
Through the hospital gown, Leia could feel the icy coldness of Wayne's touch.
She shuddered again and explained, "It's really not my fault, Wayne. Bianca planned all this."
Wayne gripped her lower jaw. "Leia, do you think that I don't understand your character?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeia felt immense pain, and bruises began to appear on her pale face." Wayne, I didn't..." "Are you the one who hired someone to abduct Bianca Rayne?" Wayne asked, though he sounded confident of that
statement. He might be a fugitive, but he had been keeping an eye on Leia.
Leia continued to deceive him. "If I was the one who did it, would I have sacrificed our child?"
Wayne narrowed his gaze and considered what she said.
When Leia saw that, she held Wayne's hand and begged him, "You'll have to avenge our child, Wayne."
Wayne looked at her and held her hand tightly. "How do you wantto avenge it?" "I..." Leia did not know what to say.
What could she do? Kill Bianca? Bianca was already in that man's hands.
She could only hope that the man could deal with Wayne too.
Wayne pulled his hands away mercilessly. "You wantto kill Bianca, right? Then tell me, where is Bianca now?” "I don't know." Leia lowered her head. She did not know where Bianca had been taken to, and she dared to tell him about Hera.
Wayne would kill her if he found out that she lost the child because she helped Hera!
Wayne suddenly chuckled, though it sounded incomparably scary to Leia.
"Even if you don't tell me, I'll be able to track that person down anyway. Someone like you wouldn't have been able to cinto contact with a person who could abduct Bianca without leaving a trace. You must have gotten help from someone, right?"
He could see that Leia's body was shaking.
"Do you think you can hide the facts fromjust by keeping your mouth shut? I heard that the child has congenital birth defects, right? Why would that be?" Wayne said.
He was angry that Leia had lost the child, but he was even angrier to find out that the child had defects.
The miscarriage could be an accident, but the defects could not. Leia must have known about it.
"The doctor said that it has something to do with my living habits while I was pregnant. I was worried when you were on the run, Wayne, so I didn't eat or sleep well. I was also hoping that the doctor made a wrong
diagnosis, so I wanted to deliver our baby no matter what..." Leia could lie even though she was in extrfear.
After all, the hospital would not admit that they had a doctor that peddled fake medicine. Wayne would not be able to find anything out.
Wayne grunted as he looked at her acting. "So you want to deliver my baby that much. Alright, I'll fulfill your wishes." "Wayne?" Leia thought that Wayne would empathize with her, but she did not expect that he would say that. She widened her eyes and looked at Wayne in fear.
"I won't touch you now." Wayne looked at her pale little face disgustedly and gripped her lower jaw. "Once you're discharged, I'll bring you along with me." "I..." Leia wanted to refuse, but Wayne's grip on her jaw becstronger and stronger. The pain overshadowed the pain in her stomach.
"Do you plan to say no?" Killing intent flashed in Wayne's eyes. He ignored the fact that Leia was in pain.
"I'll... follow you." Tears welled up in Leia's eyes. She dared not show any reluctance.
Wayne loosened his grip. Before she could catch her breath, Wayne walked toward the door and said, "You belong to me, Leia Norman. You can only bear children for me!"
The door opened, then closed.
Wayne was already gone.
Leia sat on the bed. She could not stop her tears from falling.
She hugged herself and buried her head into her knees. She thought that she had everything under control, but all her plans were ruined.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNo one helped her, and Wayne was threatening her...
She clenched her fists and let out a stifled roar. "Ahh!"
The nurse at the station heard her. She instantly ran into Leia's ward and asked, "What happened?"
Seeing how flustered the nurse was, Leia wiped her tears and pointed at the caretaker on the couch. "Is she dead? I can't wake her up."
Even though Wayne said that he did not kill the caretaker, the caretaker remained unconscious despite her loud scream.
The nurse walked over and carefully observed the unmoving caretaker. She could see that there was regular movement on the caretaker's chest. "That can't be. Why is she sleeping soundly?"
Caretakers should not sleep soundly in case the patient had an emergency in the middle of the night.
Leia released all her anger onto the caretaker. "Is this the quality of your hospital's caretakers? I didn't pay her money to sleep on the job!"
The nurse was frustrated. She went over and shook the caretaker. "Hey, wake up."
The caretaker gave no response.
The nurse placed a finger under the caretaker's nose and found that she was breathing. However, she did not wake up, as though someone had drugged her.
From that, Leia knew that Wayne was not lying. He only knocked her out instead of killing her. She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Never mind. Let her sleep. We'll talk about this tomorrow," she said.
The nurse was quite surprised by Leia's change in attitude. She nodded and left the ward.
After the door closed, Leia turned off the bedside light, and the ward fell into darkness once again. She turned her body and wanted to get out of the bed, but the pain in her stomach stopped her from doing so.
She could not use her strength, so she had no choice but to give up.
