Beyond Retrieval Chapter 9
I shook my head, my tone firm. "I won't sell him for any amount of money."A clear trace of dejection crossed Gary's face. He seemed somewhat confused by his own persistence and murmured quietly, "Sorry. I saw him through the window just now and felt a very familiar pull toward him."My heart felt terrible, like I've forgotten something extremely important."I froze.Before I got pregnant, I had a very beautiful Ragdoll cat named Coco. As soon as we found out about the pregnancy, Gary used the excuse that pets would harm my pregnancy. Despite my tearful protests, he secretly gave Coco away while I was not paying attention.After I left, I searched through many channels and finally managed to find Coco."Ragdoll cats all look pretty similar." I turned my head away, avoiding his confused gaze. "You can look at the other cats in the shop."He did not look at the other cats. He just shook his head in a daze, looking like a lost child, then slowly turned and left.The next day, I

Daniel's face flashed with enormous surprise, but his professional training helped him quickly manage his expression. He just nodded hesitantly."Understood, Mrs. Mitch..."He stopped, seeming to realize this title was no longer appropriate. He wanted to change how he addressed me, opened his mouth, but ultimately could not come up with anything.He probably never learnt my name.Gary returned quickly. His finger only had a band-aid slapped on it, the bloodstain still not completely wiped clean."Honey, let's go home." His tone was urgent as he tried to take my hand.I made a sound of agreement and stuck my hands in my pockets.When we got home, he started packing his luggage for tomorrow's business trip. I showered, then got into bed and fell into an incredibly deep, peaceful sleep.The next morning, when I woke up, Gary had already made breakfast and was holding a pour-over kettle, preparing to make coffee.I walked over and gently pressed down on his hand. "Don't drink coff

I stared at my plate, my voice flat. "Next Thursday sounds good."Gary's face lit up with a huge smile. He eagerly pushed his phone closer to me and asked anxiously, "Do you like this wedding dress?"I glanced at the luxurious gown on the screen and nodded without emotion. "Yeah, it's nice.""I'll have them speed up production right away."He pulled his phone back and quickly typed out arrangements."What about the wedding? Where do you want to have it? A private island? Or that Arupean castle you mentioned before? I'll arrange everything."I looked down and bit into a piece of crisp lettuce, mumbling vaguely, "Let's just eat first. We can talk about this stuff later."Gary's high spirits were dampened somewhat by my cold response. He put away his phone reluctantly, but did not stop fantasizing, talking to himself about his plans."I think a private island is a good option. With sunshine and beaches…"Arupean castles could also be on the backup list to choose from slowly."Th

My hometown was a quiet coastal town.Gary did not hesitate. "Sure. Once I finish this acquisition, I'll go with you. Consider it a vacation.""You don't need to come with me. I'll go by myself to clear my head."His face stiffened, and he carefully observed my expression."Honey, are you angry with me? Do you think I didn't take good care of you and the baby?"I forced a smile. "No. Don't overthink it."After a pause, I continued. "Also, I want to buy a place in my hometown.""Okay!" He immediately agreed, as if eager to make amends. "I'll arrange it. You can choose anywhere you like."The next day, he had everything settled. He bought a first-tier oceanfront penthouse and handed me the keys.Only my name was written on the property deed.Then, through complex overseas accounts, he transferred an enormous sum into my account. The text message alert pinged. I stared at the long string of numbers, stunned.He explained with a hoarse voice, his smile bitter and desolate."It

I woke up to the sharp smell of disinfectant.Gary sat beside the hospital bed. His expensive suit was wrinkled beyond recognition, and his pants were stained with large patches of dried, darkened blood.One of his hands gripped mine tightly while the other propped up his forehead. His eyes were closed, brows furrowed, with heavy dark circles beneath them.It looked like he had been keeping watch here all night.He seemed to sense my movement and jerked awake. Seeing my eyes open, he immediately leaned closer, his eyes bloodshot.His voice was extremely hoarse when he spoke."You're awake? Honey, is there anywhere that still hurts? Does your head hurt? Does your stomach hurt?"I did not answer his questions. I just struggled to lift my other hand and touched my abdomen.It was empty."The baby?"Gary's eyes reddened, and tears gathered in them. He lowered his head, his shoulders trembling slightly."Gone. Honey, our baby is gone."He looked like he had lost his most preciou

"I'm a living, breathing person, not your breeding machine!"Gary's face completely darkened, and he put down the fork heavily."You're about to become a mother. Can you stop being so willful and unreasonable?"He sat down beside me and forcefully turned my shoulders toward him."Be good, and stop making a fuss. Just hold on for four more months. Once the baby is born, everything will be fine."After this baby is born, we won't have any more."He picked up the bowl again, scooped up a forkful of food, and brought it to my lips. His eyes were stubborn, as if he would not give up until I finished eating.I could not fight him, so I could only open my mouth and mechanically swallow the tasteless food. He force-fed me bite by bite until I finished the meal."Good girl."He was finally satisfied and raised his hand to pat my head, but I instinctively dodged. His hand froze in mid-air, his eyes darkening.A cautious knock came from outside the door. The secretary from earlier pushe
