All Chapters of The Night We Both Went Into Labor: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The last thing I saw was my husband's back as he rushed out the door.The pain in my lower abdomen drained the strength from my body. I collapsed onto the floor, and warm fluid poured down my legs, spreading across the carpet in a dark, frightening stain.I lifted a trembling hand toward the housekeeper nearby and forced out a hoarse plea."Get me to the hospital. Now."The housekeeper looked terrified."Madam, Mr. Whitmore specifically said we had to wait until he came back. I don't dare…""Don't dare?" I clutched my stomach, my voice shaking from the pain. "If anything happens to me or the baby, Graham Whitmore will never forgive you. Take me now!"She was finally frightened enough to move, but she had barely reached the doorway when Graham's personal assistant, Parker Hale, stopped her."Mr. Hale, Madam is in labor. She needs to go to the hospital immediately," the housekeeper said nervously.Parker glanced at the fluid on the floor, then at my twisted expression. His voice

Mrs. Ward smiled ingratiatingly at the phone."Don't worry, Miss Vale. We already gave her the delaying medicine. We will follow Mr. Whitmore's instructions exactly.""Good," Natalie said, full of satisfaction. "If she still hurts later, I know a method that can stop the pain and keep her going until Graham returns.""What method?" Mrs. Ward asked quickly.I held my breath and stared at the phone, terrified of what she would say.Natalie's voice turned cruel."Hang her upside down first. Feet up, head down. After five minutes, the baby will slowly move back in. Then find a rope and tie it tightly below her stomach. That should buy more time."If that still does not work…"She deliberately raised her voice."Then sew her shut. In short, use whatever method you need to make her wait until Graham gets back."I shook my head desperately, but only muffled cries came out.Mrs. Ward froze. Her face went white."Miss Vale, that doesn't seem right. Something could happen…""How cou

Claire Whitmore's stern voice rang from the doorway.The air froze. The maids released me in panic and lowered their heads.Mrs. Ward stood stiffly in place, her face ashen, both hands smeared with blood.Graham's parents had died when he was young. He and his older sister, Claire, had depended on each other. Half of everything Graham had today was because of her.In the Whitmore family, her words carried more weight than Graham's.Claire's gaze swept across the purple bruises on my abdomen, the blood-soaked bed, and the unfinished stitching below. She saw the child's hair faintly visible through the blood and staggered, grabbing the doorframe."Who gave you the nerve?" Her voice trembled. "How can your hearts be so poisonous?""It… it was Mr. Whitmore. He said we had to wait until he returned…"Before Mrs. Ward finished speaking, Claire slapped her twice. Blood appeared at the corner of Mrs. Ward's mouth."That woman again!" Claire shook with rage. "I have no brother this col

He had to see Stella lying safely in bed with his own eyes.Even if she scolded him or hit him, that was fine.As long as she was alive.Suddenly, his mind flashed back to the day she married him.She had smiled at him and said, "Graham, I don't regret marrying you. I know you will protect me and love me. You are a man who takes responsibility."Now the memory made his heart clench with pain.The car had not fully stopped before he shoved the door open and rushed into the villa."Stella…"He called several times, but no one answered. Mrs. Ward ran out of the bedroom in a panic.He grabbed her by the collar, his voice hoarse with suppressed fury."Where is my wife?"Mrs. Ward trembled violently."Madam… Madam went to the hospital.""What happened to her? Speak!"Graham could no longer hold back. He kicked Mrs. Ward to the ground and rushed into the bedroom.The room was empty.Only the glaring red across the bed remained, along with a long trail of blood and dampness acr

Natalie collapsed to the floor and shook her head frantically."No. No. How do you know that?""There is nothing I cannot find out," Graham said coldly. "I was just too stupid before. I always believed you."He paused, his gaze turning ruthless."But now, you are nothing to me. I will make you repay Stella's suffering a thousand times over.""No!" Natalie crawled over and clung to his pant leg, sobbing. "I'll never dare again. Please, for the sake of the fact that I saved you once, spare me.""Saved me?" Graham's fury erupted. He kicked her hand away. "I already found out. Stella was the one who saved me back then."He turned and roared at the bodyguards."Take her back. Hang her upside down for eight hours. Bind her stomach with coarse rope. Shock her for two hours. Sew her shut until the fetus dies."No anesthesia. No hospital. Then break both her legs and throw her into the river. Let her survive or die on her own."Natalie screamed and lunged at him, but the bodyguards sl
