The wind howled and the rain poured down as the California typhoon approached. A lightning bolt tore through the pitch-black night.

 

"Claude, open the door! I won't accept your rejection, and I won't let you take care of our child either. Open the door!" I bravely pounded on the massive iron gate of the Hansom house, supporting my frail and weak body.

 

Tears streamed down my face as I couldn't understand why this was happening. During the birth of our child, I had a severe hemorrhage and was already physically weak, spending almost half a year recovering in the hospital. Claude had told me he was busy with tribal affairs and couldn't be by my side, and I never blamed him for it. But I never expected that after waiting for him in the hospital for so long, I would receive a rejection call from him, and my child would be taken away by the family.

 

I don't understand why it had to end like this for me.

 

The servant from the Hansom family couldn't bear to see me in that state and came out to sympathize with me. They said, "Luna, please leave. Alpha won't see you. Miss Burke has returned and she said you're not allowed inside."

 

Upon hearing this, a shiver ran down my spine, and a cold feeling penetrated my entire being. It was Vicky, my half-sister from another mother, and Claude's first love. So that's it. Claude's first love has returned.

 

"Claude, come out. Give me our child. I don't want anything else, I just want our child." My heart sank, and I fell into despair, but I still held onto a glimmer of hope. At least I could still have my child.

 

I knew that once Vicky came back, I would truly lose Claude. But I still had our child, and they belonged to me. I would never leave him.

 

Suddenly, I saw the closed main gate of the mansion open from afar. Someone was holding an umbrella and slowly walking towards me. A surge of hope flooded my heart.

 

I believe that I have been with Claude for four years, so it's impossible for him to have no feelings for me at all. But what I didn't expect is that the person who came was Vicky.

 

"Natalie, well, it seems like you haven't made any progress in four years. Dealing with someone like you doesn't give me any sense of accomplishment," Vicky approached and sneered at my miserable appearance.

 

Seeing that it was Vicky, the last glimmer in my eyes and in my heart slowly faded away.

 

"Give my child back to me," I wiped my face, unwilling to let Vicky see my vulnerability.

 

Vicky chuckled lightly and scornfully said, "Sure, I can give the child back to you, but you have to kneel down and beg me. Otherwise, you can forget about ever seeing your child again in your lifetime."

 

I clenched my lips tightly.

 

"What? Don't want to? Alright then, just keep waiting here. But since you've been with Claude for four years, you should already know Claude well. If I told Claude that I'm generous and don't mind having one more child of his with another woman, do you think he would give the child back to you?" Vicky said arrogantly.

 

My fists clenched tightly, feeling the sharp pain in the palm of my hand. I slowly calmed down.

 

I cannot lose my child. Vicky has never liked me since we were young. How could she possibly like my child?

 

I have suffered countless hidden losses in front of Vicky. I am not her match, never have been. But my child is still so young, he doesn't even know how to protect himself. How will Vicky treat my child?

 

"Alright." My nose tingled, and I reluctantly kneeled in front of Vicky, gritting my teeth. "I beg you, give my child back to me."

 

At that moment, all of my dignity and pride were trampled upon by Vicky.

 

Seeing me kneeling on the ground, Vicky seemed to derive immense pleasure from it. She held the umbrella high above, looking down at me, and cruelly laughed, saying, "Hahaha, Natalie, do you know? You look like a dog right now."

 

Seemingly bored, she continued, "Well, I'll tell you the truth. Actually, your child died shortly after birth."

 

"It's impossible." I widened my eyes, refusing to believe it.

 

Vicky chuckled and said, "Let me tell you a secret. I actually came back a year ago, and Claude didn't tell you, did he?"

 

"I'll tell you, the reason I went abroad four years ago was because our child got sick, and I have been taking care of him. Yes, the child of Claude and mine. But the reason Claude agreed to marry you and have that illegitimate child was just to leverage the power of your mother's family to help himself grow. I must thank you for your efforts all these years, supporting him tirelessly. It's just a pity that Claude never reciprocated your feelings."

 

Vicky smirked triumphantly, "And do you know why you had a premature birth? It's because I've been poisoning you. Your body has been getting weaker every day and couldn't bear the burden of pregnancy, that's why the child was born prematurely. But it turns out your child was just a weakling, born only for a day and died, just like you."

 

"Speaking of which, I really have to thank you for helping me hold onto Luna's position. But this position was mine from the beginning, and now it's time for you to give it back to me."

 

I clutched my chest tightly, feeling like my heart was being corroded by sulfuric acid. I tried to establish a connection with my wolf to find some strength to support myself, but I couldn't find it at all. I became even more panicked and helpless.

 

"I can't believe it. I saw him yesterday. He was perfectly fine. You're lying to me." I bit my lip hard, causing it to bleed.

 

Vicky must be deceiving me. This is just her way of trying to bring me down. I refuse to believe that Claude would do this to me.

 

"You're such a fool, still as naive as you were four years ago. Was that really your child that you saw?" Vicky smirked, finding it amusing. "That was just a baby we brought over from another delivery room to prevent you from suspecting. We gave the child's parents some money and borrowed their child for a while. The child has already been taken back by its rightful parents."

 

I was stunned, realizing that the child who didn't resemble me or Claude was not our own. I had assumed it was due to the newborn's appearance.

 

So this is the truth.

 

With a loud bang, thunder suddenly roared in the sky.

 

I felt a tickle in my throat and coughed up blood. Everything went dark, and I collapsed.

  • My Hot Masked Mate   Chapter 125

    "Nat, where are you?" Mr. Eugen asked with concern.I completely forgot. I've been so focused on Spring lately that I haven't even taken a break. How could Mr. Eugen not have noticed that I've been gone for so long today?When I saw Mr. Eugen's phone call, I felt nervous. Hearing his concern for me warmed my heart and made my nose feel a bit tingly. I even felt like crying a little.

    "After that day, Elsie never came to the hospital again, and I continued to accompany Spring in the hospital while Mr. Eugen still took care of her with me every day.On this day, I received a call from Novia. Seeing Novia calling me on her own initiative, I couldn't help but be surprised. I glanced at Mr. Eugen who was resting next to me, and walked outside the ward to answer the phone."Novia?" I had a slight worry in my heart when it came to Novia."Do you have time to talk?" Novia's tone was a bit impatient, and she quickly said.I looked in the direction of the ward. Spring was sleeping at the moment, and Mr. Eugen was by her side, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to leave for a while.I agreed and said, "But I'm worried about Spring. Can we meet somewhere around the hospital?"When Novia heard my suggestion, her tone suddenly became even more hostile. "Hmph, pretending to care. That child is not yours, I don't believe you really care about that child."I heard Novia's tone an

    I returned home, feeling physically exhausted, but I just couldn't fall asleep.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Spring lying weakly in the hospital bed, waiting for a blood transfusion. After finally managing to doze off for a little while, I even dreamt of Spring crying and looking for their mother. I woke up drenched in cold sweat, unable to fall back asleep.I know something is not right with my current state. It seems like I have truly become attached to Spring. Even though I know Spring has their own mother and is not my child, I can't control my emotions and treat them as if they were my own.I glanced at the time and realized it was already afternoon. Feeling a bit hungry, I got up and made myself a bowl of instant noodles. As I looked at the steaming noodles, thoughts of Spring came flooding back. How is Spring doing now? They must be happy with their biological parents by their side, right? Despite thin

    "Since you're back, just in case Spring gets confused, I'll make Spring call her Miss Natalie from now on," Mr. Eugen spoke again, a hint of pain in his eyes.Hearing his words, my eyes widened involuntarily. Does it mean that because Spring's mother is back, he won't allow Spring to call me mom anymore? I looked at Elsie sitting by the bed, watching Spring, and my lips started trembling."Spring!" I couldn't help but call out, but I was afraid of waking up Spring who was sleeping, so my voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.Elsie's lips curled up slightly, pretending to look innocent, and said, "Murphy, you really hired a good nanny this time. She has such deep affection for our Spring, I'm really happy about it." Elsie's tone was praising, and her eyes towards me were filled with admiration, as if I were just a nanny.I was taken aback and looked at Mr. Eugen. Elsie mistook me for a nanny, but what about

    I walked towards the nearby sofa with a sense of disappointment and sat down. I listened as Spring called Elsie "mom," and it made me feel uneasy. Spring was just a child, and he quickly got tired after playing for a while. Elsie gently tucked him in and then sat down next to me. However, I couldn't help but notice that she was sitting a bit far away from me, whether intentionally or unintentionally."I never expected that taking care of a child could be so exhausting. You've really been through a lot these past few days," Elsie said, with a hint of playfulness in her voice. I was already quite delicate-looking, but at this moment, I looked even more adorable and pitiable.So Mr. Eugen had been involved with a woman like her before. I suppose every man would be attracted to a woman like her, right? Even if he left, he probably wouldn't easily forget her, would he?My expression couldn't help but turn unpleasant. Elsie had come back, and judging by her appearance, it seemed like she wa

    I felt a warmth in my heart. Even though I appeared confident in front of Mrs. Eugen, deep down I felt a bit insecure, thinking that I didn't really deserve Mr. Eugen. But Mr. Eugen's unwavering attitude truly made me feel secure.I couldn't help but turn my head and saw Mr. Eugen smiling at me."Murphy, you are really clueless," Mrs. Eugen said with a disdainful look, disgusted by my persistence. But knowing that today was not the day for any outcome, she left in a hurry.After Mrs. Eugen left, I didn't feel relieved. My mind was still filled with Mrs. Eugen's and Novia's words. Before I could think too much, Mr. Eugen looked into my eyes earnestly and said, "Nat, don't overthink it. I like you, and if you're willing to give me a chance, I would be really happy. I love you. The luckiest thing in my life is being with you."I knew Mr. Eugen liked me, really liked me. But I couldn't ignore Mrs. Eugen's words and I co
