Susan turned away slightly, afraid to meet Nicole’s eyes.
After a while, she opened the bedroom door just as a bone-chilling smile appeared on her lips. “You’re wrong. This isn’t the main reason I came here today. The reason I came here today is to…”
Following that, she screamed until her voice broke. “Help! Don’t push me! Help!”
After that, she collapsed onto the floor in front of Nicole with a smirk. A stream of fresh blood poured out of her lower body soon after.
Nicole was slightly dazed by this turn of events.
Susan came here to frame me?
Before long, rapid footfalls sounded as a few maids ran up the stairs. They were stunned to see Susan lying in a pool of blood at Nicole’s feet.
How did this happen?
Did Ms. Lane hurt her?
The maid who came with Susan immediately wailed in distress, “Mrs. Seet, what happened? You’re carrying Mr. Seet’s flesh and blood!”
After making her point, she lifted her head to look at Nicole. “Ms. Lane, how could you do this to Mrs. Seet? Even if you’re jealous of her, you shouldn’t have attacked a pregnant woman!”
Nicole was pulled back to the present by the maid’s howls. She quickly ordered, “Call an ambulance. Hurry.”
“Yes, Ms. Lane.”
“Call Mrs. Seet’s attending doctor. He’s been helping Mrs. Seet in regulating her body, so he knows her condition best.”
At that moment, Nicole didn’t care what the maid said. She prayed that the baby in Susan’s belly would remain safe.
Otherwise, there would be no way for her to get out of this.
Sacrificing babies for personal gains was something she thought would only happen in dramas. So she couldn’t believe that it was happening to her in real life.
Not even a tiger would eat its own cubs. Although Susan seemed faint-hearted on the outside, at that moment, Nicole found her to be even more terrifying than a devil.
While chaos descended at Imperial Garden as they tried to save Susan, Evan had just returned to his office after a board meeting. Before he and Davin had a chance to talk, his phone rang with an incoming call.
“Mr. Seet, something terrible has happened. Ms. Susan fell down and has been admitted to the hospital.”
“What happened?”
“I-It was Ms. Lane who pushed her. Please come to the hospital.”
Ms. Lane? Nicole?
“Which hospital?”
Thereafter, Evan and Davin rushed to the hospital together.
Susan had woken up by then and was sobbing on the hospital bed, looking utterly despaired.
Standing by the side, Nicole’s heart was filled with regret.
Just like that, a life has been lost to the world. The baby was innocent and didn’t deserve this. But the same cannot be said for Susan.
The baby would never have died if it weren’t for this vicious and cold-hearted mother.
“Ms. Lane, you clearly knew that I was pregnant. How could you push me? I know you hate me and this child, but the child also belonged to Evan! How could you be so heartless?”
Nicole was rendered speechless.
Both Susan and I know what really transpired back there, but here she is, crying and distorting the truth. How does she even make it sound so believable?
No wonder Nina said she’s good at acting. Well, ain’t that the truth? She could probably bag the best actress award.
Nicole sighed in her heart. I wonder just how heartbroken Evan would be when he sees her looking so vulnerable and pitiful!
If he really believes that I harmed his child, what would he do?
When Evan’s stony and arrogant face flashed across Nicole’s mind, her chest constricted slightly.
The door to the ward room was abruptly opened. Evan and Davin came in one after the other.
“Evan, you’re finally here. You have to get justice for me.”
Evan looked at the sobbing Susan, then at Nicole who was standing by the side. With a stoic expression, he asked, “What happened?”
“Evan, I went to Imperial Garden to see Nina. Ms. Lane forced me to go to the bedroom upstairs because she said she wanted to ask me something. In the end, she got to know that I saved you before and that’s why you married me. She was angry and said that I took advantage of your gratitude to snatch away her position. Then, she started to attack me. She hit me and even caused me to fall.”
