Loved You Once But He's My Forever (Chloe) novel Chapter 6

When I regained consciousness, I found myself on the operating table. The doctor, with an emotionless tone, informed me, "The baby didn't make it. We'll need to perform a curettage. Ms. Sander, prepare yourself."

After the procedure, I called Luke, but he told me he was occupied with a critical deal.

Despite feeling utterly defeated, I insisted on seeing him.

When he stormed into the hospital, his expression showed no concern, only contempt. "Chloe, how long are you going to keep this up?"

I choked back the words I had wanted to say—that we had lost our child.

I looked at his still-handsome face, now marred by disdain rather than tenderness.

"What are you staring at? Is this what you call a procedure? What exactly did you do?"

The pain in my lower abdomen felt as though a knife was twisting inside me. I was in sheer agony.

Confronted by his accusations, I recalled Anna's words.

The greatest sorrow is when a heart turns to stone. I couldn't bear to explain anymore.

All I felt was a burning rage.

I had already suggested breaking off our engagement. His choice of who to be with was his alone, and I couldn't interfere.

He had told me to stay, promising to end things with Anna.

If I had withdrawn back then, I wouldn't have ended up pregnant.

He could hurt me, but why involve an innocent child?

I gripped the sheets tightly, tears streaming uncontrollably.

Seeing my pale face and the sweat on my brow, he finally recognized that something was terribly wrong.

"Chloe, are you sick? What's wrong?"

In the past, I might have argued, but now all I could focus on was my overwhelming anger.

What had I done to deserve this torment from him and Anna?

Why did that innocent child have to suffer because of their deceit?

It was true that from love comes sorrow, and from love comes fear.

Now, I was like a vengeful spirit, determined to make them pay dearly for the child they had taken from me.
