The nurses said in embarrassment.

"Madam, all the doctors in the city have been called to the riverside villa by the president. Miss Scarlett broke her finger a little when she was drawing blood, and Sterling is always worried that she might have an accident, so he asked all the doctors to be on standby."

"Right now, there are no doctors in the entire city... "

The mother-in-law was so angry that she kept calling: "This is crazy. He begged his wife to marry him and now she is bleeding heavily during childbirth, but he called away all the doctors for a mistress and didn't care about his wife's life or death!"

When the tenth call came, Lucas finally answered the phone and asked impatiently what my mother-in-law was doing, asking if I was being unreasonable and asking her for support again.

The mother-in-law shouted excitedly: "Eleanor has been bleeding heavily and has fallen into a coma! The baby in her belly is lacking oxygen! You even took her doctor away. Do you want to kill your wife and child?"

Lucas sneered: "Did Eleanor ask you to call me? She gave birth to her baby yesterday. Why is she pretending to be in critical condition now?"

"Alright, alright, I still need to take birth photos for Scarlett and her son. Doesn't she want a doctor? I'll just send someone."

My mother-in-law hung up the phone and held my hand tightly.

"Don't be afraid, Eleanor, the doctor will be here soon."

I held my belly tightly, feeling the life inside it gradually fading away.

Thinking back to my last life, my child was also sewn to death in my stomach by Lucas, suffocating to death.

I was trembling all over, holding my mother-in-law's hand, and said with difficulty.

"Mother-in-law, three years ago, my father fell into a coma while trying to save Lucas. You promised me that you would treat me as your own daughter. If Lucas treated me badly, you would help me divorce Lucas."

"I beg you to let me divorce him. I will never stand in his way of letting the son of his beloved woman take his place. I just want my children to be born safely."

The mother-in-law was already in tears, and kept talking.

"Although I wanted to repay your father for saving my life, I only said that I wanted to adopt you as my goddaughter. It was Lucas who confessed his love to you and proposed to you. He loves you so much, how come it has turned out like this? It's all because of that bitch Scarlett. If she hadn't suddenly appeared, you wouldn't be like this now."

I smiled miserably. Yes, how could my childhood sweetheart’s first love turn out like this?

The man who said at the coming-of-age ceremony that he would love me forever and that if he betrayed me, he would be cut into pieces and die a miserable death.

Now, for another woman, I am being chopped into pieces.

"Please, Mrs. Sterling." I gritted my teeth and said each word.

Listening to my weak pleading, my mother-in-law finally nodded.

"Okay! When you got married, I asked him to sign a divorce agreement with you, so that if there is a rift between you one day, I can help you get out. Now I will go back and get it for expedited processing!"

"Tomorrow, I will declare that you are my only heir. As for this ungrateful son, I will no longer recognize him!"

My mother-in-law left immediately to deal with the matter.

I lay on the hospital bed, the pain in my abdomen was like a tide, and I cried out.

The assistant left by my mother-in-law was anxiously waiting for the doctor sent by Lucas to arrive.

Finally, someone came.

But the person who came was not a doctor, but a courier boy.

Seeing the blood in the delivery room, he helplessly handed over the bag, and a sanitary napkin and a band-aid fell out of the bag.

"Sterling always said that it's just postpartum lochia, it won't kill you, just wipe it off yourself, don't disgust him with this kind of thing anymore."

The assistant's eyes turned red with tears and he smashed the bag.

"Madam, I will take you to another city for transfer now. You must hold on."

I kept wailing, my vision went dark, and I finally passed out.

I woke up again, being suddenly awakened by a bucket of ice-cold water.

In front of him was Lucas's face full of disgust.

"Stop pretending now that you're awake." He looked down at me. "You knew I was going to announce the matter between the heir and Scarlett tomorrow, but you still went to the next city to see a doctor. Did you want everyone to think Scarlett was bullying you?"

Scarlett held the baby in her arms, tears streaming down her face, and stood behind him, looking pitiful.

"Madam, I know you hate me. But you can just take revenge on me, but why did you let your mother-in-law take my child away?"

"Before the assistant was dragged away, she was still shouting that my mother-in-law had to go back to deal with the documents and give my child to you, saying that I was not worthy of being the mother of the heir..."

I opened my mouth, but no words came out of my throat. I could only shake my head with all my strength and beg tremblingly:

"I...didn't...take me to the hospital...the child...can't hold on any longer..."

"You lied again!" Lucas frowned impatiently, "My mother was anxious to leave the hospital and even brought a lawyer to work overtime overnight. Wasn't it you who instigated her behind the scenes? Do you think that by taking Scarlett's child, you can secure your position as the mother of the heir?"

"Didn't you give birth to your child yesterday? And you're still pretending to be in labor and dying. Are you trying to trick me into feeling sorry for you? Dream on!"

I felt severe pain all over my body. The blood in my lower body had already coagulated and was sticking to my skin, emitting a strong fishy stench.

Scarlett covered her mouth and vomited, tears welling up in her eyes: "Sister, you knew that I couldn't stand the smell of blood after giving birth, but you still refused to clean it. You wanted to deliberately fumigate me and make me faint, right?"

She cried so much that her face turned pale, and she curled up in Lucas' arms, looking pitiful.

"Look at what you look like now!" Lucas said with disgust, "You look like a lunatic, and you stink. You are such a disgrace!"

He waved his hand and ordered the bodyguards to continue pouring buckets of cold water on me. He did not stop until I turned pale, shivered all over, and became completely hypothermic.

Scarlett nestled in his arms and cried, begging, "Madam, I beg you, don't separate me from my child... If you insist on taking my son away, I will jump out of this window!"

She pretended to jump, and Lucas quickly hugged her.

Finally, he was so angry that he turned around and kicked away my hand that was holding his trouser leg, leaned over and shouted coldly:

"Don't think you can continue to be the mother of the heir by instigating my mother. I have already sent people to lock down Havenwood Estate. No matter how you plan, you won't succeed!"

"As for you - I have warned you so many times not to bully Scarlett and her child, but you just won't listen! In this case, I can only use some special means."

He turned his head suddenly and gave a cold order to the bodyguard:

"She forced Scarlett to jump off the building, so she should pay the price. Go, pull out her father's oxygen tube and throw him off the building!"

"Lucas!" I screamed, "You're crazy! That's my dad! He saved your life!!"

"So what!" Lucas sneered, "In order to get you into a wealthy family and make your child the future heir of Monarch Group, he went to great lengths to save me, and forced me to marry you because of his life-saving grace. Now you've married into a wealthy family, and I've made you pregnant. You can't give birth to my first child, that's because you're useless. I've already repaid you my debt of gratitude, and I don't owe you anything!"

"Get started!"

I rushed towards the bodyguards frantically, trying to stop them, but was kicked to the ground.

The blood that had originally dried up in his lower body suddenly gushed out due to the violent impact, like a dam bursting, instantly dyeing the entire floor red.

I screamed in pain and curled up into a ball.

Lucas was about to drag me forward, but suddenly he saw my bulging belly exposed from the kicking and beating, and the blood on the ground, and his face turned pale.

He subconsciously rushed to my side, hugged me, turned his head and looked at Scarlett and asked.

"What's going on?! I asked you to be in charge of Eleanor's delivery, but didn't you say that she gave birth successfully yesterday and the baby was sent to the nursery?!"

"Then why is her belly still so big?! Why is she still bleeding!!"

Scarlett's expression also changed slightly.

But her eyes rolled and tears soon formed. She took out her cell phone and cried, "Madam did give birth yesterday, and the child has been in the nursery."

"I knew that Madam would take the opportunity to embarrass me... so I asked the doctor to take a video of the child."

She handed over the phone, and on the screen was a baby who was obviously one month old. The video was crude and looked so fake.

But Lucas only took a glance and believed it.

The next second, he angrily picked me up from the ground and threw me hard onto the cold, hard floor.

The back of his head was hit hard and blood gushed out instantly.

"How dare you lie to me!" he growled. "In order to soften my heart, you even made a fake belly and fake blood?! How disgusting and despicable are you!"

"Do you think I'll be fooled this time? Dream on!"

He raised his leg and kicked me in the stomach mercilessly.

Blood and screams splashed with every impact.

“Ah…don’t…don’t…”

I begged at the top of my lungs, but my body became colder and stiffer.

Until I no longer had the strength to beg for mercy, and could only curl up in a pool of my own blood, trembling silently.

He threw off his bloodstained coat and turned to Scarlett with an apologetic look on his face.

"I'm sorry, Scarlett, for letting you smell this disgusting smell. I'll deal with her right now, and when I'm done, I'll take you to an island for your honeymoon, as compensation for my wrongdoing against you, okay?"

Scarlett shook her head with tears in her eyes, her voice sounding pitiful.

"Forget it. Madam hates me so much. What if she comes up with a new way to separate me and my child right after you take me away?"

"Otherwise, I'll take the child away and let your child become the heir."

She spoke carefully and sounded extremely aggrieved, but she hit Lucas's anger point just right.

His face suddenly became as gloomy as night, and his tone was gentle but chilling:

"Don't worry, I won't give her any chance to harm you and the child again."

He raised his hand and waved, "Lock her in the basement of our house. Let her out after I officially announce at the press conference that the heir is Scarlett's son."

I was dragged out of the hospital by bodyguards like a dead dog.

Along the way, blood left a long trail on the smooth marble floor.

I was in so much pain that I almost passed out, but I still pleaded with my last breath:

"Please, Lucas. I asked my mother-in-law to handle our divorce, not to take her child away."

"My children have been killed by you once, and they won't survive this time either."

"My child and I have already made way for your family of three. Please don't touch my dad again."
