Nicholas immediately nudged Greg aside and took a seat beside his wife. He gently caressed her belly and called out with tenderness, “Be good. Don’t give Mommy trouble.”
The baby ignored him and kicked even harder. Tessa watched on with much love, feeling as if she could explode with happiness. On the other hand, Wanda was in bad luck over the last few days. She had decided to get rid of her baby.
To her dismay, she ran into Regina Hadfield, Oliver’s older sister, at the hospital. She was surprised to see Wanda and inquired, “Why are you here?”
Wanda’s heart sank as she looked at the impeccably dressed woman in front of her. She soon calmed herself down and replied coldly, “I’m little sick. I’m here to see a doctor.”
At that moment, a nurse called her name. She responded to the nurse and nodded at Regina. “The doctor’s calling for me. Miss Hadfield, have a nice day.”
Then, she slid into the doctor’s office. Regina sensed that something was wrong with Wanda’s behavior. She was confident in her sixth sense and took a seat nearby to wait.
Unaware of Regina’s plan, Wanda received the test results from the doctor and sighed in relief when she learned that her surgery was approved. Not long after, she left the doctor’s office.
Little did she know that Regina marched into the doctor’s office right after her departure. Soon, Regina came out with a grave expression and made a call.
At the same time, Wanda sat outside the operating room with a cold face. For some reason, her heart was racing anxiously. Her uneasiness increased when she recalled bumping into Regina in the corridor earlier as if her presence was a bad omen. She thought about it and went to the nurse. “When is my turn?”
The nurse checked the registration list and answered, “There are two more patients before you.” She frowned at the answer, for the wait was longer than she had anticipated.
Suddenly, a person grabbed her by the wrist and spun her around. “Wanda Muller! Who permitted you to abort my kid?” Oliver shot a death glare at her.
It turned out that Regina had made a call to inform him about Wanda’s pregnancy and decision to abort. He was jumping in anger as he dragged her out of the hospital. “You will come home with me!”
“I won’t! Let go of me!” Wanda struggled in fear. However, the people around them looked on curiously without stepping in to help her. They thought it was a minor argument between a married couple, which was a regular occurrence in the hospital.
When she realized that he was not letting her go, she started punching and kicking him out of desperation. “Oliver Hadfield, you’re a jerk! Let go of me now!”
“You want to kill my child? Dream on!” While speaking, he lifted her over his shoulder and stomped out of the hospital.
Naturally, the two families got the news of Wanda’s pregnancy after Oliver brought her back from the hospital. As such, they had no choice but to bring forth their wedding date.
In a few days, the news of the arranged marriage between the Hadfields and Mullers spread like wildfire. When Wanda found out about it, she fell into despair. The arrival of the baby brought no joy to her at all.
“Why do you have to show up now? My life would’ve been better without you.” She punched her stomach with resentment and vain hope that she could miscarry. Despite her attempts, the baby stubbornly grew in her belly.
Another wave of depression drowned her when she heard the news that Nicholas stayed home to take care of a pregnant Tessa. She was reminded of the day when she met them in the hospital, where he took great care of Tessa.
