Chapter 1
During my late pregnancy, I suddenly had hypoglycemia while accompanying my husband to a party.
I reached out with difficulty to take the juice on the table, but was stopped by my husband’s female assistant.
“Callie, I can’t drink alcohol. Can you let me drink this glass of juice?”
My eyes went dark and I drank the glass of juice without caring too much.
When my husband found out, he scolded me coldly, “It’s just a glass of juice. You are so childish that you have to take Lane’s. Do you know? Because you, Lane has been thirsty for a day!”
I looked at him, my face full of confusion.
“She has hands. Can’t she buy water by herself? Do you know how dangerous hypoglycemia is for pregnant women?”
Doran immediately apologized to me after hearing this. “I’m sorry, my wife. I was confused. You rest well here. I will take you home later.”
I nodded in agreement, but Doran didn’t show up until late at night. When I was impatient to go out to find him, I was suddenly pushed into a swimming pool full of juice.
“Don’t you want to drink juice? Today, I’ll let you drink enough at once!” Doran held the female assistant and sneered at me, who was kicked back into the water.
Until dawn, I looked at the swimming pool and sent a message to my brother in an unusually calm manner.
[Brother, your beloved nephew is gone and Doran doesn’t need to stay.]
——
“Doran, what do you want to do?”
I was pushed into the swimming pool and inevitably choked on several mouthfuls of juice while struggling. I was in a mess.
“Callie, don’t you like to snatch Lane’s juice? Today, I’ll let you drink enough. When you finish drinking the juice in this pool, you can come up.” Doran embraced Lane and his eyes were full of coldness when he looked at me.
I looked at Lane’s smug look and suddenly I realized. It turned out that Doran did this just to avenge his assistant.
But it was just a glass of juice. Could it be that not letting her drink this last glass of juice was more important than the life of the child in my belly?
I thought about it and couldn’t help but ask, “Doran, can a glass of juice make you sacrifice my life and the life of my child?”
Doran frowned when he heard it, but before he could speak, Lane cried.
“It’s all my fault. I’m too pushy. It’s because I was thirsty because of the lack of juice and almost had a shock due to heatstroke. If I had just endured it a little longer, it would be fine. It’s all my fault…”
“What’s your fault? I think it’s all because Callie is too selfish, relying on her status to deliberately make things difficult for you.” Doran hurriedly comforted the woman in his arms and his face immediately turned cold when he turned to look at me.
“Callie, I think you are used to being pampered and have lost even the most basic humanity. If you don’t kneel down and kowtow to Lane to apologize today, don’t even think about climbing out of the pool!”
I smiled bitterly and didn’t look at his nervous look at the woman in his arms. Five years ago, I couldn’t imagine that this man who treated me with respect would turn against me because of a glass of juice.
I thought his tolerance and respect for me was love, but until Lane appeared. She was clumsy and even stupid.
I knew that Doran hated trouble and thought he wanted to fire Lane. But Doran said, “She is just young and she is cute like that. Just give young people a chance.”
So slowly, Doran spent more and more time with her and even brought her to the company party without telling me.
Until he got drunk one time and uploaded a video of him playing with Lane to the company group.
Chapter 2
For a while, everyone was spreading the news that if my brother hadn’t entrusted me to him before he left, I would have been divorced long ago.
It was then that I realized that Doran was not cold and taciturn, but he just didn’t want to leave his smile to me. I also realized that this relationship might not be for me.
I thought, looking at Lane, the corner of her mouth unconsciously pulled up a sneer.
It was obviously she who stood in the corner and drank happily with several young masters of the Stanley family when the party started. Why was she allergic to alcohol now?
I was about to speak, but Lane covered her stomach and cried out in pain.
“Doran, I just had a gastric perforation because of that glass of wine. I’m used to it. I just need to bear it. Callie is different. She is used to being spoiled by you and can’t bear the hardship…”
Doran’s face became more gloomy and his voice was icy.
“Where is she? Keep adding juice for me. Stop when she has had enough. I don’t believe that I can’t pry her mouth open today!”
As soon as Doran finished speaking, several burly men carrying buckets of water came in.
They stared at me with lewd smiles on their faces, lifted up buckets of water and poured them over my head.
The clothes on my body were so tight that they were almost transparent, which made the gazes of several people even hotter. I had no time to dodge and could only protect myself tightly.
The swimming pool was freezing cold late at night. Doran held Lane tightly in his arms, fearing that she would catch a little cold.
My chest was squeezed by the increasingly deep pool water. I was shivering with cold and almost suffocated. I swam desperately to the edge of the pool and wanted to climb up.
But every time I climbed to the edge of the pool and was about to climb up, Doran would have someone kick me back to the center of the pool.
After struggling several times in vain, the tightness in my abdomen became more and more obvious. I tried my best to protect my bulging abdomen and stared at Doran with red eyes.
“Doran, let me get up quickly. My stomach hurts a lot. Do you want your own flesh and blood to die here?”
Doran hesitated for a moment after hearing this. He had a special physique and it was very difficult for the child he conceived to survive for five months. At one time, a doctor said that he would not have an heir.
I never gave up, even though I was in very poor health due to several miscarriages. It was still for him that I carefully saved this child. He must have known how hard I had worked for the past few months.
Doran’s eyes flickered and just when I thought he had finally woken up, Lane in his arms cried again.
“Doran, just let Callie go. Anyway, I’m used to it. In the past, someone deliberately made me not drink water for a day and then forced me to drink wine until I was almost dying of thirst, so that I suffocated due to allergies.”
She continued, “I can do that, but Callie can’t. How can a little princess like her who doesn’t care about the hardship of the world be the same as a poor person like me who no one cares about?” As she spoke, tears kept falling, looking so pitiful.
Doran’s expression immediately returned to coldness and he said with disgust, “Callie, I have already asked the doctor, as long as the fifth month passes, the baby will be safe. You want to threaten me with the baby, no way!”
He continued coldly, “Besides, I just let you soak in the water for a while. How can this pain be compared to one thousandth of what Lane has suffered? On the contrary, you don’t apologize quickly and let Lane remember the sad things in the past. You are really unrepentant!”
Doran said and waved to the people by the pool, “Go get some wine. Whoever can open her mouth for me will get this car.”
The sports car key on his fingertips swung and the big men’s eyes lit up instantly. They picked up the bottle and walked towards me.
Chapter 3
I thought to myself that the situation was not good and kept struggling to retreat. One of them grabbed my arm and poured wine into my mouth, regardless of anything.
I endured the pain in my stomach and kicked him hard in the crotch. Seeing him dodge with a hideous face, I didn’t have time to breathe a sigh of relief before someone grabbed my hair tightly.
“You bitch, you dare not drink a toast. Today, we will let you see how powerful we are!”
The next second, I was pushed into the pool and the juice suddenly choked into my nose. I struggled hard in pain.
“Bitch, do you dare to make Miss Schuman angry?”
The man’s movements became more and more violent. Seeing that I gradually lost the strength to struggle, he laughed triumphantly.
“Don’t be so rough. Callie is a girl, after all.”
I listened to Lane’s hypocritical dissuasion and pushed the man away with all my strength, looking at her with cold eyes.
“If anything happens to my child today, I will not let you go!”
Lane raised her eyebrows at me proudly, turned around and threw herself into Doran’s arms aggrievedly.
“Doran, Callie is really blaming me. I don’t expect any fairness. Let her go. I just almost died. It’s not worth it to make Callie unhappy because of me…”
“Callie, that’s enough! Because of you, Lane suffered so much for no reason. Can you die if you apologize?” Doran hurriedly comforted the woman in his arms, looking at me with disgust in his eyes.
I sneered, but the next second I felt a sudden pain in my stomach, as if something was flowing out.
Suddenly, a scream sounded in my ears. “Blood! It’s blood!”
The man beside me screamed and pointed at the pool, which was gradually dyed red. I lowered my head stiffly and saw that the originally orange juice around me had turned red.
My stomach was cramping, making my face pale. I raised my head and looked at Doran by the pool in despair.
He was carefully wiping the tears of Lane in his arms, not paying any attention to the movement here.
“What the hell are you screaming about? What blood? She is pregnant. It’s impossible for her to have her period, right? And her health has always been very good. I specially invited experts from abroad to help her regulate it. It’s impossible…”
Before Doran finished speaking, his eyes were instantly dyed red by the red in the pool. I stood in the water with red water all over my body and my face became more and more pale and transparent.
Doran’s face changed immediately and he hurriedly pushed Lane away, jumped into the pool and pulled me up.
“How could it be... Callie, you told me that the child is fine, right? I clearly... why are you still standing there? Call an ambulance. If anything happens to the baby in her belly, I will let all of you be buried with her!”
The few people who were standing there in a daze heard this and hurriedly picked up their phones to make a call.
“Wait!” Lane raised her hand to stop the man and pointed to the wine bottle floating in the water.
“You must have made a mistake. How can this be blood? This is clearly the red wine you accidentally spilled in the water.”
The man holding the phone obviously knew that this was blood, but when he met Lane’s threatening eyes, he hurriedly agreed. “Yes, it’s wine. I accidentally spilled the red wine in the pool. I have a weak memory…”
Doran looked at the red wine bottle floating in the pool and threw me to the ground coldly.
The severe pain made me suddenly sober. I pulled the corner of his clothes and choked. “Child… Save our child…”
“Call an ambulance… I... My stomach hurts so much…”
My face was extremely pale due to the massive blood loss, but Doran kicked my hand away in disgust.
“Callie, what’s the fun of you doing this? Do you think I will be fooled like before? Impossible! It’s different now. Humbert is gone. Do you think anyone will protect you?”
I felt the loss of life in my belly and shed tears in despair. We had been together for five years, but it seemed like I just met him today.
Five years ago, Doran was chased to Roria City by his enemies and it was Humbert who saved him. I gradually fell in love with him during the contact and he soon proposed to me.
At that time, he firmly promised my brother that he would spoil me and love me for the rest of his life and would never let me get hurt.
But now he tortured me to miscarriage because of a glass of juice. I closed my eyes in pain and Lane squatted beside me hypocritically.
“Callie, are you okay? It’s because Doran was too worried about me. You won’t hold it against me, right? Come, I’ll help you up.”
She stretched out her hand and pressed it against my stomach. I cried out in pain and tried to push her away, but as soon as I raised my hand, she fell to the side.
“Lane!” Doran glared at me coldly and then hurriedly hugged Lane into his arms.
I watched him rub the woman’s arm with heartache and then looked at the red pool. I struggled to pick up the phone on the ground and sent a text message to my brother.
[Brother, your beloved nephew is gone and I don’t want Doran anymore.]
