I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46 Save the Baby

Benjamin said, "Harper, you are so hypocritical. You keep saying that you are just friends. What do you mean now?"

"Everyone will change."

Harper was not afraid of Benjamin's misunderstanding.

Her words ignited his fury completely. His grasp on her chin tightened, threatening to crush it if he desired.

Harper endured it. Her coldness dissatisfied Benjamin. Then, he threw her on the bed with force and immediately pressed against her.

He was extremely sullen. Glaring at her, he said in a low and hoarse voice, "Harper, as my wife, you care about another man. Do you think I dare not do anything to you?"

Harper protected her abdomen with both hands, refusing to get close to Benjamin, which annoyed him even more.

She whispered, "Benjamin, I'm telling the truth. Why do I have such a big reaction?"

"Truth? Do you want to tell me that you are in love with Frank?" Benjamin sneered, and his words were nothing but indifferent mockery.

Harper was silent.

"Answer me. Harper, are you in love with him?"

He continued to press, his gaze icy.

"I am if that's what you believe. Consider me."

​Without giving her a chance to finish her sentence, Benjamin kissed her directly on the lips. He was violent, as if trying to punish her so fiercely that she felt only pain.​

Harper struggled, but the more she did, the more Benjamin desired.

In half a minute, she looked disheveled. She patted his shoulders vigorously and almost slapped him several times in the face but to no avail.​

"Benjamin, let go of me and get away!" Harper almost screamed incoherently, trembling.

​All that was in her mind was that she could not allow Benjamin to make love to her, for she was not yet past the critical period of pregnancy. Moreover, at this moment, he was entirely intent on disciplining her. She could not afford the consequences.​

However, she was no match for a man anyway.

"Benjamin, you bastard, I hate you!"

Harper didn't know how long she had been scolding. Yet, she was too hoarse to pronounce a syllable.

The weather in Mayby was changeable. It started to rain heavily at some point. The lightning and thunder outside never stopped, like the background of a nightmare.

It took a long time before everything finally came to an end.

Harper felt uncomfortable all over.

Every part of her body hurt.

​Her lower abdomen, in particular, felt as if it were being ripped apart, and the pain continued to increase.​

With all her strength, Harper got up from bed, walked to the bathroom, and stood under the shower, allowing the warm water to cascade over her head.

A few minutes later, she was about to get dressed but found the dazzling blood flowing down her legs. It gushed like a menstrual period, which made her immediately panic.

Her mind went blank, and she shouted, "Benjamin."

Upon hearing this, Benjamin rushed towards the bathroom. He pushed the door open and saw Harper falling backward. He agilely held her in his arms.

But she was already unconscious. No matter how he called out, there was no response. With a serious look, he instantly pulled a towel and wrapped it around her body before rapidly carrying her out.

"Get the car ready. Go to the hospital. Hurry up."
