"Talk? What else do you want to talk about?" Scarlett's eyes became more ferocious. She was already panting in rage. "Do you know what my parents did to me? They forced me to be with Jack so they could pay their debts. But now that Jack has abandoned me because of you, no one would give me money anymore. My father started to hit me since I couldn't give them money any longer. Look at these bruises when he hit me last night."
She rolled up her sleeves and showed Rachel the red marks that were still swollen.
Rachel was slightly taken aback. It never occurred to her that Scarlett was experiencing such a thing. But for the time being, she had no time to sympathize with Scarlett.
She said slowly, "If it's all about money, we can easily solve it. Let me go, and I'll write a check for you. You can then take it to your father so he can pay all his debts."
But what she said didn't bring any good at all. Scarlett suddenly yelled, "Are you trying to show off your wealth in front of me? I don't want your money. It's nothing compared to being with Jack. He is the CEO of MK Group. If I become his wife, I can be wealthier than you. But that will only happen if I get rid of your baby."
Scarlett might have totally lost her mind.
Rachel didn't expect that she couldn't lure her. Scarlett was so determined to get rid of her baby.
Jack stepped on the accelerator and drove as fast as he could. But as soon as he reached a viaduct, he was blocked. He had no
ved, and her uterus had to be removed.
At that moment, he wished that he could tear Scarlett apart. But then, he also couldn't help blaming himself.
No matter how angry he got, he shouldn't have resorted to finding another woman to provoke Rachel. Because of what he did, a lot of bad things had already happened to her.
He kicked the wall hard and growled, "I'm such a bastard!"
"That's enough!" Henry grabbed his arm to stop him. "I don't know what really happened between you and Scarlett. But now that you want to fix things between you and Rachel, you have to start doing something. It's not too late yet."
Inside the ward, Rachel had gradually stopped crying. Her eyes were now red and swollen. Lea took a tissue and carefully wiped Rachel's face. She then deliberately joked, "Since you have cried a lot, your child will also become a crybaby when it comes out. I'm sure you will get annoyed."
"No, it won't," Rachel retorted with a smile. Somehow, Lea's words made her feel a bit better.
Lea lifted the quilt and sat down on the edge of the bed. She held Rachel's hand tightly and said, "Rachel, it's all over now. Don't think about it anymore. I know that Jack will protect you and your baby well from now on."
With a bitter smile on her face, Rachel asked, "Protect me? Lea, I don't want to put myself or my baby's life in danger ever again. I just want to live peacefully with my baby."
"What do you mean by that?" Lea asked, confused.
