Chapter 2

Author: Green Pick
I had no idea how much time had passed, but the pain in my belly never let up. I could only lie down, gasping loudly for breath as I fought to stay conscious. Just then, I heard the door open.

It was Dr. Walters. He had a few bodyguards with him, and Aldrich was also on the phone with him.

"Hurry up! We must save her baby!"

I thought that Chrissy had finally given birth and that Aldrich had finally remembered about me. Tears of joy and relief sprang from my eyes.

However, to my shock, the bodyguards just grabbed me and put me back on the cold, hard bed in the basement. And this time, they bound my hands and feet to the bedframe even more tightly than before.

Dr. Walters stared down at me and said, "Chrissy is losing a lot of blood and needs an emergency transfusion. Coincidentally, you share the same blood type as her."

I immediately understood what their motive was and started to struggle. But that only made the constraints around my wrists hurt even more.

"No! I'm also carrying a baby in me! My baby will die if you do this!"

"Shut up!"

Dr. Walters kicked at the side of the bed so hard that I felt my brain and other internal organs shaking within me.

"The baby in Chrissy's belly is the future heir to the Lohan family! You should feel honored to give up your baby in exchange for its life!"

With that, the needle was mercilessly inserted into my veins once again. This time, I could feel my life force being gradually siphoned away from my body. My vision turned blurry, and the pain in my belly started waning out as I lost energy. I felt like a thread about to snap.

I had completely lost consciousness at that point. I was lying on the bed like a lifeless doll.

For some reason, Dr. Walters suddenly panicked after noticing that I wasn't moving anymore. He immediately stopped the transfusion and called Aldrich again.

"Mr. Lohan, Mrs. Lohan seems to have passed out. Should I still continue drawing her blood?"

Aldrich was furious. "Chrissy's life is in dire peril! How dare she pretend to pass out? Just go on! And wake her up. I don't care what you do to her."

So, Dr. Walters told the bodyguard to fill up a bucket of ice-cold water and pour it right down my head.

The bone-chilling wetness seeped right into my body, and my thin nightgown was completely soaked. I shuddered hard as I barely registered consciousness.

Seeing that I had woken up, Dr. Walters inserted the needle once more. But this time, I didn't even have the strength to fight back anymore.

The pain in my belly was still there. Ice-cold water was still dripping down my face, every single drop feeling like an icicle stabbing right into my skin. I opened my mouth, wanting to tell them to stop taking my blood, but the most I could manage was a weak and wispy exhale. I sounded like an animal on its last breath.

Soon, the blood bag was finally filled, and I didn't know how long it took.

Dr. Walters removed the needle from my arm and didn't even offer a cotton ball to stop the bleeding before turning to leave. Just before he left, he turned around to spare me one last glance. "Mrs. Lohan, be good and stay where you are. I'll be back if Chrissy needs more blood."

I felt dread washing all over me. If they continued taking my blood, it wouldn't just be my baby who'd be in danger—I'd lose my life as well.

Fine, Chrissy's baby was treated like a national treasure; but did I or my child deserve to be treated so poorly in contrast?

  • A Child Denied, A Husband Destroyed   Chapter 9

    Of course, Aldrich had heard of the Raine family before. After all, the family was a major global player in the business industry.The Raine family possessed so much power and influence that all it took was one word from them to shake up the entire industry. It was just too easy for them to crush Aldrich if they wanted too—even easier than crushing an ant to death.Now, Aldrich finally realized that I, his wife, had come from the very same Raine family who could ruin him in the blink of an eye.I walked up to him and crouched down, taking in his sorry sight. "You kept insisting that I had only married you for your wealth and status. You even said that you were afraid my child would snatch away the title of your family's heir."But do you finally get it now? Did you really think I've been eyeing your family's wealth when it's nothing more than spare change to me?"Aldrich was shaking all over now. He kept crying out, "I was wrong, Kelsey! Please, give me another chance!""I've giv

  • A Child Denied, A Husband Destroyed   Chapter 8

    Kyson arranged for me to work at the overseas branch so that Aldrich wouldn't be able to find me. However, none of us thought that Aldrich would have spies even overseas. He still managed to find me there.That afternoon, I was having a meeting with my colleagues as usual when Aldrich suddenly barged into the conference room with bloodshot eyes and grabbed me by my wrist."Kelsey Raine, why are you hiding here and refusing to see me? I know that I did a lot of wrong things in the past. Just forgive me and come home with the baby, okay?"I quickly calmed myself down. The first thing I did was to tell my colleagues to get the security guards. Then, I flung Aldrich's hold off me."My baby is dead. You're the one who killed it."Aldrich was stunned. I could clearly hear him gasping very softly. "No, that can't be the truth. You're lying. Our baby could never die. I arranged for the best doctor—""The best doctor? Oh, you mean Dr. Walters?" I asked with a sharp laugh. "Are you referri

  • A Child Denied, A Husband Destroyed   Chapter 7

    I rested on the private island for a long time. The private island was completely surrounded by the sea, and it had a calming effect on me. It was good enough to help me forget the pain and wounds of the past.Kyson hired the best medical staff and assistants to prepare different sorts of nutritious food for me every day. He even planted a whole garden of tulips for me in the yard because he didn't want me to get bored.Ever since Mom and Dad passed away, Kyson had always been the one in charge of the family business. He did a great job managing Raine Corporation, and the company now controlled the industrial business chain across the country and even halfway across the globe.After going through the ordeal, I finally made up my mind to ask Kyson to teach me how to manage the company together with him.It was only when we took control of our own lives that we could make sure we didn't make past mistakes again.Kyson was more than thrilled. He was happy to know that I had finally m

  • A Child Denied, A Husband Destroyed   Chapter 6

    Kyson brought me home to our family's private island to rest and recover. My baby didn't make it in the end.Even though the child had fought with all of its might to come to this world, it still passed forever before it could even open its eyes to take a good look at it.I had cried for three days and three nights straight, and Kyson was the only one who comforted me the whole time."It's not your fault that the baby is gone. That Lohan bastard is the inhumane one here. He never put you as his top priority. He would never have made a good father. Maybe this is also the baby's choice. It didn't want a bastard like that to be its father, so it chose to leave."I eventually calmed down and learned to let go of the past with Kyson's comforting words and impeccable care.I chose a spot on our private island to bury my child, letting it rest in peace. I kneeled before the tombstone for a long, long time as memories with Aldrich kept playing in my head.The Raine family was internation

    "What did you just say?" Aldrich asked in disbelief. He simply refused to believe what he had just heard. His wife and baby were dead?That was impossible! He had made sure that he hired the best gynaecologist in the country to care for them! How could anything bad have happened to them?Edgar continued shaking as he stammered, "I-It's the truth, Mr. Lohan. W-We've already confirmed it with the hospital. Mrs. Lohan and the baby… are both dead.""That's impossible!" Aldrich roared. "Didn't I tell Orlando to take good care of them? Where is Kelsey now?""Dr. Walters said that she ran out on her own… I checked the records, and Mrs. Lohan was first sent to the general hospital, but they didn't have any medical equipment there, so they had to transfer her to a private hospital, which is also this hospital we're in right now…"Edgar's forehead was covered in a layer of sweat. He kept thinking of a nicer way to phrase things to prevent triggering Aldrich's anger further."Just now… th

  • A Child Denied, A Husband Destroyed   Chapter 4

    "That's impossible," Aldrich said, interrupting Edgar at once. "She loves money more than anything. Even if she were to escape, she'd only go to the general hospital. She'd never come to such an expensive private hospital.""But—""Get out and stop bothering me!" Aldrich yelled. "Chrissy is now in great danger, and these people are already annoying enough, asking me to release medical equipment for other people. And now, you still want to annoy me even further? One more word from you and you're immediately fired!"There was nothing Edgar could do but shut up after that.And after a prolonged argument with Aldrich, the doctors still succumbed to his threats after that, and they had to apologize to me.I didn't think that even after escaping the basement, my life would still be entirely at Aldrich's mercy, and he still wouldn't cast me a lifeline.I closed my eyes in despair. Then, I borrowed a phone from the doctor and made a call to a number that I had memorized by heart."Ky, I
