“It’s just a little blood. It won’t be a problem.”
As Gideon said this, his eyes showed a flicker of hesitation.
Flora noticed it immediately.
She and Lilith had plotted for so long; she couldn’t let this opportunity slip away just because Gideon was going soft.
“Lilith’s current bag of blood is almost empty! There’s no time!”
Gideon’s tone grew heavy. “Take her.”
Several men reached for Aria. She fought back desperately but was gradually forced into a corner.
In the chaos, someone shoved Aria, and she was pushed to the ground with a sickening thud.
Charles had been trying to look away, forcing himself not to get involved or feel pity.
But when he heard Aria’s pained groan, he shot up and pushed the men away.
“Are you hurt?”
Flora’s gaze turned cold for an instant, but only for an instant.
Charles was actually starting to care about Aria? In that case, Aria had even more reason to die.
“Don’t touch me!”
Aria clutched her stomach, a cold sweat breaking out on her skin.
In the confusion, someone had shoved her in the lower abdomen. Although she’d already had the abortion, her uterus was severely damaged. The push made her feel like her insides were being twisted into a knot.
Her breathing became ragged.
Hazel was the first to see the blood pooling beneath Aria and couldn’t help but gasp.
“Blood! Aria’s bleeding!”
Gideon’s head snapped up, his eyes widening in shock. “How could this happen?!”
Aria’s vision swam as pain overwhelmed her, but she still swatted Charles’s hand away.
Hypocrites. They were all hypocrites!
“Aria, I… I didn’t mean for this to happen. I never wanted to lose our child…”
Gideon knelt in front of Aria, reaching out to hold her.
“I’ll take you to a doctor…”
