Chapter 96 Baby?
I stared at the white ceiling of the ward, there was a glass lamp on the ceiling reflecting me and Lance Mason.
I could see the back of his hair and my emotionless face.
“Have you been planning this? To make me kill my own child? Do you want me to live in guilt forever?” He said while pinching my chin between his fingers, he looked angry.
I looked at his bloodshot eyes and said, “Will you be guilty? No, you won’t. You might want a child now but the child will never be from me. You told me before, the child I carry will always be an illegitimate child, he/she will die anyway. You wouldn’t be sad if you lose this child, Lance Mason. Let alone feel guilty towards me, because that’s who you are. How would I dare give birth to this child?” With that, a tear rolled down.
He was sitting on the bed looking at me. Not so angry anymore. What I said to him just now was what he told me before.
I thought I saw a glimpse of hurt in his eyes, but who am I kidding? Why would he be hurt? He should be happy that the child was gone. If he wanted a child, he could have it with his wife and not me, the mistress.
“You wanted that child?” Lance asked me after minutes of silence.
I softly rubbed my abdomen which was still in pain. I couldn’t deny that I love that child, but I couldn’t imagine giving birth to Lance Mason’s child too. If it wasn’t the child of Lance Mason, of course I wanted that baby.
“I want this baby but I can’t, I know what I am to him.” This is his words he said before and now I use it to answer him.
Lance looked at me intensely and said, “So you wanted it?” he asked again.
At this moment, I didn’t want to talk about the child I had just lost, it was too much for me.
I was in pain and he felt happy, his features slowly turned to a good mood. How cruel was this man?
“Torturing you will make me feel good you said, how do you know that?” He placed
- his hand on my heart and asked, “By your heart?”
I didn’t let out a word and I know I was right. But looking at him acting like this made me felt like I was wrong.
Lance let out a cold laugh and said, “Oh, how could I forget that you gave your heart to someone else so that makes you a heartless woman.”
He sounded so cold. He had been talking weird things and I wouldn’t think too much about his words anymore.
