Chapter 718


    Chapter 718 The Child Is Not Mine


    The news hit Lilian like a sack of bricks.


    Horrified at the amount of faith she had in Jack, she recalled how she had vouched for him with her and her unborn child''s life, and the


    promise she made to her father.


    As it was her misguided trust in Jack that had cost her father''s life, she had be the sinner in her own family.


    Lilian did not dare face her uncles as she felt unworthy to apologize to them, though she did fulfill her vow and drove herself out into traffic

    with purposeful recklessness. However, she awoke to find herself in the hospital.


    Though she had lost her child and her legs, she was still alive.


    Lilian attempted many times to slit her wrist and her throat after that, but the doctors came to her rescue each time. Jack came to see her when


    she finally grew weary of defiance.


    He treated her and cared for her the same as he always did. Though he spoke at length, not a word registered with Lilian until...


    “Did you know that your father had ns for you the whole time?” he drawled, in his elegant, steady pace. “The child isn''t mine. Your family


    ces a great deal of importance on their bloodline, as you very well know. Your father only approved of our marriage for my brains to handle


    thepany, and also to keep things from you. He found out what a filthy mixed breed I am after investigating my parents. How would he


    allow me to taint the purity of the Helt family''s royal blood? Your father''s ns for you suited me just fine as I''ve never loved you anyway.”


    Jack touched his heart, the zing me of passion alight in his eyes. “A girl who I love very much lives here. She is my light. I have to


    be rich and famous to find her. I want to be her rock so nobody would ever hurt her.”


    To preserve the purity of their lineage, the Helts had been marrying the core family members of otherrge families and even within


    themselves.


    Lilian had thought that it was Jack''s qualities that impressed her father when he agreed to their marriage. It turned out that her father looked


    down on Jack, after all, and was plotting something against her behind her back.


    Jack had a girl whom he deeply loved. He would do anything for her.


    Lilian had once felt proud, as she was the wife of such a wonderful man. She strived to reciprocate Jack''s love for her.


    In the end, it was all a mirage, and she was the only one foolish enough to have believed it was real.


    At that moment, upon feeling the full sting of betrayal from her family and lover, Lilian grabbed everything within reach to hurl at Jack as she


    let loose screams of fury.


    Jack stood where he was and allowed her to vent her anger.


    Without her legs, Lilian fell from the bed amidst her struggle. Her hands were drenched with blood from the broken pieces of ss on the


    floor.


    In another attempt at suicide, she grabbed a shard of ss to shove into her mouth but Jack was quick to stop her. He grabbed her wrist that


    was holding the shard and snapped it before lifting her back onto the bed as he called for medical assistance.


    During her extended stay in the hospitalsting several more months, she learned from the news that Jack had ns to shoot a movie.


    Upon watching the movie after its release, she realized that Jack was telling the story of his rtionship on the silver screen. He reiterated


    with the film the intense love he had for his girl and his hope that she would one day find him.


    Meanwhile, Jack was given a wide berth at thepany by the Helts as they were wary of his cruelty.


    Upon herplete recovery, Lilian suddenly did not wish to die.


    Hell-bent on giving Jack a taste of her misery, she took the initiative to divorce him and began nning in secret with the ten billion in


    <ppensation she had gotten from him.
