There was a fierce pain on Angela's back, as if her bones had been broken.
She swallowed the blood in her mouth difficultly, and comforted James, "You've been hit by the crutch for so many times. It’s not a big deal for me to suffer one?"
But, it was really painful!
James gazed deep at her with his red eyes. He had thousands of words to say, but when he was about to speak, he couldn't say a word. He hugged Angela tightly, as if to embed her into his bones.
"How affectionate you are!" Lawson sneered and raised the crutch in his hand. "Since you like being beaten so much, enjoy it together!"
Before the crutch fall, Angela pushed James away and took the initiative to stand under the crutch.
"Hit me as hard as you like! You'd better hit me on the head or stomach. If you beat me to death or hurt the child, you will never see your great-grandchild!"
The crutch in Lawson 's hand stopped over her head, "Angela, do you really view this kid in your stomach as a medallion?"
"How could I?" Angela sneered. "You are a rich man at best, not an emperor. Why do I need a medallion?"
Lawson’s face turned blue with great anger.
James frowned and wanted to come over, but Angela stopped him, "Don't come here. You won't be able to help. If you come, we will be beaten together!"
Hearing this, James frowned deeper. But he chose not to move and instead stared at Lawson.
As soon as Lawson made a move, he would rush over immediately!
Angela looked at Lawson who was black in the face and said sarcastically, "What I’m going to say is unpleasant to hear. You have developed terminal lung cancer, and there is not much time left for you."
"You—" Lawson pointed at her and said only one word. Then he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and began to cough terribly.
Seeing this, Nathen walked over with the lung cancer medicine, and poured a glass of water for him.
Ignoring Lawson’s anger, Angela continued: "I’m with the first great-grandchild of the Harvey family in my stomach and the one that you have the biggest chance to see! If you are not afraid of not being able to see your great-grandchild before you die, just hit me. Anyway, it is boring to be alive!"
Lawson threw the bloody handkerchief into the trash can and drank the medicine. Then, He panted, and looked at her sullenly.
Angela didn't lower her head to avoid his staring as before, but looked at him without batting an eye.
However, there was already a lot of cold sweat in her palms.
"You should be grateful, because the kid in your stomach saved your life!" Lawson threw the crutch to the ground and gritted his teeth.
Angela wiped the sweat from her forehead, "I got pregnant to save my life?"
Lawson stared at her, and his desire to kill her was obvious in his eyes, but in the end, he just snorted heavily, without saying or doing anything.
"Nathen, please help me get the medicine kit. It's in James' room on the second floor." Angela glanced at the crisscrossed bruises on James' back and frowned.
Nathen didn't respond, but looked at Lawson and saw that he did not refuse, so he nodded to Angela and went to get the medicine kit.
James had never been protected and cared like this before. He lowered his eyes and curled his lips slightly, with his heart softened a bit.
