“How could I possibly do that?” Mary replied without lifting her head. “What if something happens? Mr. Tremont was very specific, you mustn’t be left alone at this time. I was already terrified enough in leaving you just now. Should Mr. Tremont ever find out, I’d never hear the end of it.”
She was losing hold of her emotions. “Is he worried about my safety, or does he want to keep me under surveillance? Stop fixating on me!”
Her yelling put Mary into shock. “Ari… What’s wrong? Why would you think that? Don’t you know how well Mr. Tremont has been to you? We’ve been kind to you out of the goodness of our hearts. We want to take care of you. Why would we want to monitor you? Are you feeling unwell? Would you like me to call the doctor?”
Arianne felt it. Whenever her emotions were out of control, the baby in her belly would move and kick. Unfortunately, she could no longer contain herself, probably because of Mark’s lies in the past. As a result, her trust in Mark was pitifully small and everything in the letter matched up. How could she not suspect him? Most important of all… her grandmother was dead, and she was kept in the dark! Her grandmother was the only blood relative she had left, aside from Helen…
Suddenly, she felt a burst of warm liquid between her legs, followed by a sharp pain. She held her belly as she struggled off the bed. “I want to see Mark! Tell him to come, right now! I want to ask him why he’s lied to me! Hasn’t he done enough to me? I wanted to try and get along with him. I… Argh… Why did he do this to me?”
Mary panicked. She threw the lychee in her hand away and hugged her. “Doctor! Doctor, get in here, quick! Her water’s broken! The baby is coming!”
