Chapter 233
Chapter 233 I Refuse To Lose It
La’s expression was stormy when she saw Margaret, who was apprehended by the police. She
walked up to Margaret and pped her hard across her face, then pointed at her as she hissed, “I’ll
deal with youter!”
Having said that, she followed a couple of police officers up the stairs and hurried into the bedroom.
La’s heart almost stopped when the bedroom door opened, and she winced like the sight before her
was too painful to see. She quickly shrugged off her coat and wrapped it around Yuliana, then held the
poor, trembling girl in her arms.
However, Yuliana was still in shock, and she aggressively resisted La’s touch as she struggled to
break free. “Let me go! Don’t touch me!”
“Yuliana, it’s me, La.” La tightened her hold around Yuliana as she began murmuring to her
soothingly, her voice nearly breaking. “Everything’s all right now. Don’t be scared. I’m right here.”
Yuliana stiffened when she heard La’s voice. Then, as if all the strength had abruptly left her body,
she copsed andy quietly in La’s embrace. She could hear voices around her, but she couldn’t
decipher anything coherent.
After a while, La loosened her grip and slowly peeled off the ck tape on Yuliana’s eyes. Following
that, she gently lifted Yuliana’s bloodstained hand to try and take away the object in her palm. However,
Yuliana was startled when La tried to pry her fingers open and immediately clutched the object
tighter.
La felt her heart twist at the sight of this. She hastily mped a hand around Yuliana’s wrist to stop
her and said, “Yuliana, you’re safe now. Can you please give that to me?”
Yuliana’s gaze was unfocused, and it took a while before she properly looked at La. She stared at
La for a while, then nodded as she slowly unclenched her fingers and let La take the shards
away.
Had it not been for the shard of a broken vase she held in her hand, she would have no weapon to fend
off her assants and save herself from being vited.
The situation had ended on a satisfying note, it seemed, but Yuliana was the only one who knew of the
process.
Meanwhile, Annabelle took in the warzone that was the room. The two men who had been
apprehended by the police were covered in blood, and Yuliana was a mess. Disgust shed in
Annabelle’s eyes as she walked up to one of the men and, paying no mind to the police officers at all,
kicked him hard.
The man let out a guttural scream as his features twisted into a pained grimace. At that moment, he
almost didn’t look human, but rather like he had been infected by some deadly virus and thereafter
turned into a zombie. Much like the zombies in the movies, the man was no better than a rotting
corpse.
Annabelle nced at Yuliana and had to look away. She turned her gaze on La and suggested,
“La, you should send Yuliana to the hospital.”
La finally came back to her senses and nodded hastily. She tried to help Yuliana get up, but Yuliana
was weak and couldn’t stand at all.
Seeing this, the police officer standing on one side of the room immediately came over and offered to
help. “I’ll carry her downstairs.”
However, Yuliana froze when she heard the police officer’s voice and shrunk into herself. The objection
was clearly written on her face.
The police officer stood aside awkwardly.
La briefly thanked him and said, “No need.”
Then, she looked at Annabelle. “Come help me, Annabelle.”
Annabelle nodded and briskly walked up to Yuliana, then held onto her arm to support her weight
before leading her out of the room.
But, after a few steps, Yuliana abruptly stopped. She looked down and descended into panic. She
subconsciously grabbed La’s and Annabelle’s hands as she cried, “La, the baby. My baby…”
La followed her gaze and grew rmed when she saw liquid running down Yuliana’s legs. Her eyes
widened as she urged, “Quick, Annabelle, call the ambnce!”
Annabelle saw the condition Yuna was in, but seeing as she had never had children before, she
wasn’t sure
what this entailed. She snapped out of her daze when she heard La’s cry and promptly called the
ambnce as she was told to.
While Annabelle was engaged on the phone, Laforted Yuliana softly, saying, “Don’t worry,
Yuliana. Just stay calm. Your water broke, but nothing will happen. The ambnce will be here soon.”
All Yuliana could feel at that moment were the waves of sharp pain in her abdomen, and it wasn’t long
before she started breaking out in cold sweat.
Clearly, Yuliana was in no state to make her way downstairs without assistance, but La did not have
the strength to carry her, either. In the end, La had no choice but to ask the police officer from earlier
for help..
Yuliana resisted at first, but the pain eventually overwhelmed her and drowned out her protests.
All she could think about right now was the little one in her womb.
She was seven months pregnant at this point, and she insisted on giving birth to the child. She spent
countless days thinking about what the baby would be like, whether or not he would have any quirks, or
which parent he would take after. She had daydreams of what she, Christopher, and the child would
look like as a family.
She had been fighting for her life against those two men from earlier, and in the heat of the moment,
shepletely forgot about the safety of her child.
At the thought that she might lose the baby, her tears, which she had been trying to keep from spilling
out since the beginning of the night, finally rolled down her cheeks, mixing with the beads of cold sweat
that were dripping down her jawline.
“La…” Yuliana clutched La’s hand tightly, her body in agonizing pain and her heart tight with fear.
“La, I don’t want to lose the baby, not when the due date is just two months away.”
La was a mother as well, and she empathized with Yulianapletely. She felt gutted seeing
Yuliana on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
La wiped away Yuliana’s tears and said reassuringly, “No, you won’t lose the baby. I’m here. The
ambnce will arrive soon, and I’ll be at the hospital with you.”
Yuliana bit her lower lip as she endured another bout of searing pain. Her gaze looked faraway for a
brief moment as a torrent of images shed through her mind. She recalled her childhood days when
she would sit at the doorstep and quietly wait for Damian and Callie toe home, as they were so
absent most of the
time.

She remembered Callie picking her up from school one day, only to tell her that she and Damian were
getting a divorce.
She also remembered the day Callie left the family without looking back, her silhouette rigid and her
determination clear.
Then, she thought about Harry and how their love had blossomed during the three years of high
school, which only made the three years of their marriage seem even bitterer in retrospect. Those were
the days when any effort she had put in was to no avail.
These scenes looked like they were taken from an old, ck-and-white film, and she was merely
someone in the audience who watched these scenes without a shred of emotion.
Finally, she thought about Christopher.
She tried very hard to think about everything that had to do with Christopher, but in the end, she
couldn’t remember anything at all. All that came to mind were his face and name, and even then, it
filled her with heartache
She parted her lips and whispered his name nheless.
La didn’t hear what Yuliana said and only saw her mouth moving. “Yuliana, what did you say?”
Yuna grabbed La’s hand again and slowly enunciated, “Christopher”
Although La still couldn’t hear her, she saw Yuliana’s lips form the sybles.
Yuliana was asking for Christopher.
La’s tears fell as soon as the realization hit her. She quickly wiped them away and said, “Yuliana,
Christopher is on his way. He’ll be here soon.
Ten minutester, the ambnce arrived, and Yuliana was rushed to the nearest hospital.
The doctor assessed Yuliana’s condition and immediately came over to La and Annabelle, then
asked, “Are you her family?”
Annabelle and La were still in a daze. When they heard the doctor’s words, they looked at each
other. La was the first toe back to her senses, and she stepped forward as she replied, “Yes,
I’m her sister.”
The doctor then proceeded to ask La about Yuliana’s pregnancy and said, “Her amniotic sac has
ruptured, and as things are, she has no choice but to give birth to the baby. However, from the looks of
her current condition…”
