Chapter 77
Miranda‘s POV,
I didn‘t know how to respond to Mr. Wharton‘s question.
Until this moment, I was still hesitating about how to do it.
It wasn‘t until I raised my head and saw McKenna that I suddenly felt terrified.
For the sake of my family, I said something against my will. I said that Bella asked me to call Hank. “Are
you saying that it‘s Mrs. Wharton who asked you to call Hank?” Mr. Wharton‘s face grew even more
gloomy and ugly, and even his gaze seemed like it could eat someone up.
I was so scared that I lowered my head to show my tacit agreement.
McKenna continued to ask, “Miranda, what‘s the relationship between Hank and Bella?”
“It... It seems like...I lowered my head and my heart beat faster. “What does it seem like? Hurry up and
say it.” McKenna forced mer.
“lt... it seems like he is Mrs. Wharton‘s ex–boyfriend.” I said.
McKenna said angrily, “Bella‘s behavior is too terrible. She married you, so how can she continue to flirt
with her ex–boyfriend? Herbert, I‘ve told you a long time ago that this kind of commoner only likes our
wealth and status. She doesn‘t love you sincerely at all.” I took a look at the angry McKenna and admired
her acting skills very much. All of this was planned by her But now, she pretended not to know anything.
But in this case, I couldn‘t say a word. Although I felt sorry for Bella, I had to do this for my family. “Mom,
don‘t talk about it anymore.” said Mr. Wharton. McKenna continued, “I think after the child is born, you

should give her some money to make her leave! You are someone with identity and status. You can‘t
have such a wife!”
“Auntie, let‘s not continue anymore. Herbert is an assertive man. He‘ll make the right decision.” Caroline
went forward and tried to persuade McKenna,
McKenna shook her head and said, “I don‘t want to care about your matter now. I‘m tired. I‘ll go back
first! After that, she left the hospital directly. After seeing her off, Caroline walked up to Mr. Wharton.
“Herbert, you haven‘t eaten anything yet, have you? I‘ll go buy you a sandwich?” Mr. Wharton said coldly,
“You don‘t have to do this! Even if Bella and I are divorced, I won‘t marry
you.”
I wasn‘t surprised by what Mr. Wharton said. During this period of time, I saw clearly that he truly loved
his wife very much. Thinking of this, I felt some comfort in my heart. Carolines eyes turned red in an
instant I never expected you to marry me. I just want to stay with

you. I just want to see you every day.” Mr. Wharton‘s attitude was still as cold as ever. “Go back and
rest.” “Let me stay here to keep you company‘ Caroline was very stubborn and refused to leave “I‘m
telling you to go back!” Mr. Wharton finally let out an impatient growl. Caroline was a little scared. She
quickly said, “Okay, I‘ll go back first. You must take good care of yourself
I know. After saying those words, Mr. Wharton turned his face to the side. After Caroline left, there was
only Mr. Wharton and I left in the cold corridor. Mr. Wharton‘s gaze was fixed on me, causing me to feel
terrified. After a long time, he asked, “Has Mrs. Wharton always been in touch with Hank?”
“... I don‘t know.‘ I said, I really didn‘t know how to reply.
“You‘ve always been with her. How could you not know?” At this moment, Herbert‘s gaze could swallow
people. I lowered my head to avoid his gaze and said carefully, “Definitely not in these few months. I dont
know if they had been in contact in the past. Anyway, I often see Mrs. Wharton hiding on the terrace
when you were not at home... Talking on the phone.” These words caused Mr. Wharton‘s face to distort,
and his hands were clenched into fists His expression was simply too terrifying.
I retreated to the corner, my body trembling.
Bella‘s POV:
When I woke up, I was already lying on the operating table My face was covered with an oxygen mask
My consciousness was not very clear, I could only vaguely see doctors and nurses walking back and
forth in the operating room I didn‘t know what happened. I could only pray in my heart that my child
would be born safely. I gradually lost consciousness, as if a long time had passed When I woke up, I felt
very tired. I tried to move my body but felt that I had no strength at all. What happened to me? The
unknown state made me panic. At this time, a familiar voice came from beside. “Mrs. Wharton, are you
awake?” This was Miranda‘s voice. I tried my best to open my eyes and see Miranda‘s face clearly I also
found the cause of the pain in my hand. It turned out that I was still having an IV. I turned my head and
saw a black figure standing in front of the window. That figure could not be more familiar. It was Herbert.
Seeing him, my heart tightened inexplicably

19:02 the child was no longer in my belly. “The child, how‘s the child?” I screamed. Miranda didn‘t say
anything. I immediately turned to ask Herbert, “Where‘s our child?” There was no expression on
Herbert‘s face. “The child died when he was born.” Hearing this, my mind went blank. I stared at Herbert
with my eyes wide open and shook my head crazily. “No, that‘s impossible!” “Mrs. Wharton, calm down!”
Miranda quickly held me down. Calm down?
How could I calm down!
My child had left me!
I didn‘t even see him. I didn‘t even hug him. He was gone!
I couldn‘t accept this reality. “I‘m going to find my child!” I used all my strength to pull out the infusion set
in my hand. For a moment, blood splashed in all directions, and the snow–white sheets were covered
with blood. The pain of losing my child had made me crazy. How could my child be gone? He was still in
my belly two days ago, and I could still feel him moving. No, my child was still here! It was impossible for
him to leave his mother without saying a word. I wanted to find him. I wanted to find him! I continued to
struggle until he held my shoulder. He said, “Your child... is gone. No matter what you do, it‘s useless!”
Herbert‘s words pierced my heart like a sharp knife. “No, it‘s not real. It‘s not real...” I sat on the bed.
Miranda pressed on the back of my hand with her fingers. The blood had dyed my hospital gown red.
Next to me, Herbert seemed to have said something, but I didn‘t hear it clearly. At this time, I was
completely in an extremely sad mood. My child, my poor child...
Painful tears welled up in my eyes.
