Chapter 22


    Her voice was a husky whisper as she called out his name.


    Tears streamed down her cheeks as she pleaded with him for mercy.


    The pale pink marks of his kisses adorned her creamy skin.


    Every memory only droven deeper into madness. At that moment, the only thought in his mind


    was that ra belonged to him!


    Heidi, standing just outside the door, peered through the crack and saw the scene unfold. Her fists


    clenched tight with fury. How she wished she were the one entwined withn in such a passionate


    embrace.


    Biting her lip hard enough to taste blood, she fought the urge to scream..


    Just then, Chase’s voice broke through her thoughts. “Heidi, what are you up to?”


    Quickly regaining herposure, Heidi turned with a smile and said, “I’m waiting forn.”


    Her gaze shifted to the doctor behind Chase, and she asked, “Who might this be?”


    Chase grinned mischievously, “Someone said he’s about to be a daddy and asked me to snag an


    expert to confirm. What’sn up to in there?”


    As he leaned in for a closer look, he caught sight of ra bitingn’s lip fiercely enough to draw


    blood.


    Chase couldn’t help but chuckle, “Tsk, tsk, tsk. He gets bitten and still manages such a lustful grin.


    How shamelessly masochistic. We’ve got to get a front–row seat to this drama.”


    Heidi’s smile slowly stiffened. She red at the obstetrician behind Chase, grinding her teeth in


    silence..


    She had thought that oncen was informed of ra’s pregnancy, he would be livid and insist on


    terminating. it, causing ra to hate him even more. But what she hadn’t anticipated wasn’s


    desire to keep the child.


    Fortunately, the child was already gone. With a cold twist of her lips, she followed Chase into the


    office.


    Upon seeing the couple’s flushed faces and glistening lips, Chaseughed suggestively.


    “Can’t wait, huh? Keep it decent, people. This is a hospital, not your love nest. Besides, what if


    ra is pregnant? You don’t want to hurt the baby, do you?”


    Then, he turned to the specialist and ordered, “Give her a pregnancy test.”


    The obstetrician nodded with a smile. “No worries, Mr. Hayes. A little blood test, and we’ll have the


    answer in twenty minutes.”


    As he approached ra with the necessary equipment, Heidi suddenly burst into tears. She moved


    closer ton, her face a mask of remorse. n, no need for a test. The baby’s gone. It’s all my fault.


    If I hadn’t called you. away that day, you wouldn’t have stood up Ms. ra on her birthday. Then


    she wouldn’t have been so upset, and she wouldn’t have terminated your child in a fit of rage.” As


    she spoke, she handed the surgical records to


    Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    His eyes turned icy as he scanned the documents, his voice cold as frost, “Who gave you the right


    to abort my child?” The veins stood out on his hands, taut with barely contained anger.


    ra scoffed as she read the doctored medical report. Heidi had some nerve to manipte hospital


    records like that. ra’s hemorrhage had been twisted into a narrative of a patient’s choice to


    terminate the


    pregnancy.


    With a chilling gaze, ra retorted, “That child was mine too. If you hadn’t ignored me, he wouldn’t


    have died!” Her voice was almost a rasp, haunted by the memory ofn’s indifference to her cries


    for help.
