Chapter 986
The other party was willing to go through with it.
“If you do this, you will be committing a crime!” Lillian said.
“It’ll just be an accidental bump. At most, I will be charged with assaulting someone. Don’t worry. My two subordinates are mentally prepared,” Ysabel said indifferently.
The indifferent look in Ysabel’s eyes seemed to suggest that she didn’t care about the life of the unborn child, even though the unborn child was related to her by blood.
Ysabel sat on the couch and continued to sip coffee as if she was waiting for a good show.
Lillian wanted to rush out of the private room, but one man had already grabbed her while the other man swung his fist toward her abdomen.
“No!” she shouted madly, trying to protect her belly. Seeing the fist approaching, there was only despair in her eyes.
“Will I just lose my child this way? After several dangerous and threatening miscarriages, the child is still alive. Will I lose my child now? No, I can’t let that happen! This is my child with Callum,” Lillian thought.
Without knowing where the strength came from, Lillian suddenly moved and bent halfway. The other hand that was not stopped suddenly grabbed the fist that attacked her. Then, she opened her mouth directly and bit his hand hard without thinking about it.
At that moment, she had only one thing in mind, and that was to save the child.
After that, she got slapped hard across the face.
However, Lillian still didn’t let go. Even though she knew that it was useless to do so and could only make her suffer more, she did it anyway. “I might not be able to save myself, but I still need to do whatever it takes to protect my child. That’s a mother’s instinct!” she thought.
Slapping sounds kept ringing in the private room. Just when Lillian felt her cheeks were completely numb with pain, someone suddenly tried to open the door to the private room from the outside.
However, the door was locked from the inside, so the people outside couldn’t open it.
“Who is it? Who is at the door?” Lillian wondered.
Just as Lillian was guessing, the door was suddenly kicked open from outside. A tall figure appeared in Lillian’s eyes.
It was Callum.

Lillian teared up instantly.
After seeing the scene in front of him, Callum was furious. The men were holding onto Lillian’s thin figure. She was biting into one of the men’s hands, and her
hands were already suppressed. Her cheeks were red and swollen with messy hair. She looked like an utter mess.
“If I hadn’t arrived, what would have happened to her?” Callum thought.
Callum rushed forward, kicked the two men away, and picked up Lillian. His eyes were full of anger, looking at his mother. “I have told you not to interfere in my affairs with her. I will remember what happened today!”
“You… Is that how you talk to your mother? This woman is just trying to use the child to take advantage of the White family. I don’t want you to have an illegitimate child! She and the child will damage the reputation of the White family and you,” Ysabel said unhappily.
Callum sneered, “Who would dare to call my child a rascal? I want to see how this child will damage the reputation of the White family and mine after birth!”
After saying that, Callum hurried out of the private room with Lillian in his arms. Ysabel was so angry that she smashed the coffee cup on the ground.
She thought, “Does Callum still care about Lillian so much? Based on his tone, he sounded like he wanted her to give birth to the child! He even spoke in such a tone as if he was the one going to give birth to the child. Could it be… Is he really going to marry Lillian? No! I’ll never let such a woman marry into the White family. My daughter-in-law should be a socialite instead of an ordinary person. If this kind of woman really marries into the White family, I’ll be embarrassed… People in my social circle will make fun of me!”
Ysabel’s eyes flashed as if she had made a certain decision.
Meanwhile, Callum took Lillian to the car and ordered the driver to go to the hospital.
“What the hell did they do to you? Are you in pain?” Callum asked hurriedly, only to find that Lillian was looking at him, dumbfounded.
“What are you looking at?” he asked.
“Y-You came to save me… You knew your mother wanted to see me… Did you rush here because you were afraid that your mother would do something bad to me?” she stammered because her cheeks were so red and swollen that she would feel a sting when talking.
Callum frowned, watching her speaking in such a difficult and painful way. He said, “All right. Stop talking. Just stay quiet!”
He felt guilty and uncomfortable.
She guessed right. He did know that his mother was looking for her, so he rushed over in a hurry, but it was unexpected that she would appear in front of him in such a horrendous state.

When he saw her like that, at that moment, he only felt his heart was about to explode, and he felt cold in an instant.
Back then, even when she hurt him so badly, he still couldn’t bear to lay a finger on her.
She was the treasure he took good care of. Yet, he had to see others treating her like a piece of garbage.
Most importantly, it was his mother who was harming Lillian.
At that moment, in addition to anger, Callum was also filled with guilt and indescribable emotions.
Lillian obediently shut up and said nothing more.
“He came. He came to save me! Nothing can make me happier. Our child is safe. Besides, he still cares about me. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have rushed here to help me,” she thought.
When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor checked Lillian’s condition. The baby was all right, and she suffered some minor injuries. In addition to her slapped cheeks, the corners of her mouth were also cracked, and some blood oozed out. Other than that, she was all right.
Lillian had been the hospital’s frequent visitor since she was pregnant. At that moment, after knowing that her child was safe and sound, she breathed a long sigh of relief and didn’t care about her injury at all.
On the contrary, Callum was more nervous than Lillian. He asked the doctor how long would the injuries take to heal and also asked about some details of subsequent treatment in detail.
When they left the hospital, Callum said, “I’ll take you back to your inn right now!”
“No!” Lillian hurriedly said. If she were to go back to the inn, her parents would
see her injuries. Not wanting her parents to worry, she continued, “Just drive me to a hotel. I’ll book a room myself.”
