Chapter 77


    Miranda‘s POV,


    I didn‘t know how to respond to Mr. Wharton‘s question.


    Until this moment, I was still hesitating about how to do it.


    It wasn‘t until I raised my head and saw McKenna that I suddenly felt terrified.


    For the sake of my family, I said something against my will. I said that Be asked me to call Hank. “Are


    you saying that it‘s Mrs. Wharton who asked you to call Hank?” Mr. Wharton‘s face grew even more


    gloomy and ugly, and even his gaze seemed like it could eat someone up.


    I was so scared that I lowered my head to show my tacit agreement.


    McKenna continued to ask, “Miranda, what‘s the rtionship between Hank and Be?”


    “It... It seems like...I lowered my head and my heart beat faster. “What does it seem like? Hurry up and


    say it.” McKenna forced mer.


    “lt... it seems like he is Mrs. Wharton‘s ex–boyfriend.” I said.


    McKenna said angrily, “Be‘s behavior is too terrible. She married you, so how can she continue to flirt


    with her ex–boyfriend? Herbert, I‘ve told you a long time ago that this kind ofmoner only likes our


    wealth and status. She doesn‘t love you sincerely at all.” I took a look at the angry McKenna and admired


    her acting skills very much. All of this was nned by her But now, she pretended not to know anything.


    But in this case, I couldn‘t say a word. Although I felt sorry for Be, I had to do this for my family. “Mom,


    don‘t talk about it anymore.” said Mr. Wharton. McKenna continued, “I think after the child is born, you


    should give her some money to make her leave! You are someone with identity and status. You can‘t


    have such a wife!”


    “Auntie, let‘s not continue anymore. Herbert is an assertive man. He‘ll make the right decision.” Caroline


    went forward and tried to persuade McKenna,


    McKenna shook her head and said, “I don‘t want to care about your matter now. I‘m tired. I‘ll go back


    first! After that, she left the hospital directly. After seeing her off, Caroline walked up to Mr. Wharton.


    “Herbert, you haven‘t eaten anything yet, have you? I‘ll go buy you a sandwich?” Mr. Wharton said coldly,


    “You don‘t have to do this! Even if Be and I are divorced, I won‘t marry


    you.”


    I wasn‘t surprised by what Mr. Wharton said. During this period of time, I saw clearly that he truly loved


    his wife very much. Thinking of this, I felt somefort in my heart. Carolines eyes turned red in an


    instant I never expected you to marry me. I just want to stay with

    you. I just want to see you every day.” Mr. Wharton‘s attitude was still as cold as ever. “Go back and


    rest.” “Let me stay here to keep youpany‘ Caroline was very stubborn and refused to leave “I‘m


    telling you to go back!” Mr. Wharton finally let out an impatient growl. Caroline was a little scared. She


    quickly said, “Okay, I‘ll go back first. You must take good care of yourself


    I know. After saying those words, Mr. Wharton turned his face to the side. After Caroline left, there was


    only Mr. Wharton and I left in the cold corridor. Mr. Wharton‘s gaze was fixed on me, causing me to feel


    terrified. After a long time, he asked, “Has Mrs. Wharton always been in touch with Hank?”


    “... I don‘t know.‘ I said, I really didn‘t know how to reply.


    “You‘ve always been with her. How could you not know?” At this moment, Herbert‘s gaze could swallow


    people. I lowered my head to avoid his gaze and said carefully, “Definitely not in these few months. I dont


    know if they had been in contact in the past. Anyway, I often see Mrs. Wharton hiding on the terrace


    when you were not at home... Talking on the phone.” These words caused Mr. Wharton‘s face to distort,


    and his hands were clenched into fists His expression was simply too terrifying.


    I retreated to the corner, my body trembling.


    Be‘s POV:


    When I woke up, I was already lying on the operating table My face was covered with an oxygen mask


    My consciousness was not very clear, I could only vaguely see doctors and nurses walking back and


    forth in the operating room I didn‘t know what happened. I could only pray in my heart that my child


    would be born safely. I gradually lost consciousness, as if a long time had passed When I woke up, I felt


    very tired. I tried to move my body but felt that I had no strength at all. What happened to me? The


    unknown state made me panic. At this time, a familiar voice came from beside. “Mrs. Wharton, are you


    awake?” This was Miranda‘s voice. I tried my best to open my eyes and see Miranda‘s face clearly I also


    found the cause of the pain in my hand. It turned out that I was still having an IV. I turned my head and


    saw a ck figure standing in front of the window. That figure could not be more familiar. It was Herbert.


    Seeing him, my heart tightened inexplicably


    this moment, Herbert slowly turned around and looked at me coldly


    denly thought of my child and reached out to touch my belly. My stomach had be t and


    Scanned with CamScanner


    19:02 the child was no longer in my belly. “The child, how‘s the child?” I screamed. Miranda didn‘t say


    anything. I immediately turned to ask Herbert, “Where‘s our child?” There was no expression on


    Herbert‘s face. “The child died when he was born.” Hearing this, my mind went nk. I stared at Herbert


    with my eyes wide open and shook my head crazily. “No, that‘s impossible!” “Mrs. Wharton, calm down!”


    Miranda quickly held me down. Calm down?


    How could I calm down!


    My child had left me!


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    I didn‘t even see him. I didn‘t even hug him. He was gone!


    I couldn‘t ept this reality. “I‘m going to find my child!” I used all my strength to pull out the infusion set


    in my hand. For a moment, blood sshed in all directions, and the snow–white sheets were covered


    with blood. The pain of losing my child had made me crazy. How could my child be gone? He was still in


    my belly two days ago, and I could still feel him moving. No, my child was still here! It was impossible for


    him to leave his mother without saying a word. I wanted to find him. I wanted to find him! I continued to


    struggle until he held my shoulder. He said, “Your child... is gone. No matter what you do, it‘s useless!”


    Herbert‘s words pierced my heart like a sharp knife. “No, it‘s not real. It‘s not real...” I sat on the bed.


    Miranda pressed on the back of my hand with her fingers. The blood had dyed my hospital gown red.


    Next to me, Herbert seemed to have said something, but I didn‘t hear it clearly. At this time, I was


    completely in an extremely sad mood. My child, my poor child...


    Painful tears welled up in my eyes.
