Chapter 316 Ann’s Choice
But things did not go as smoothly as she had thought.
Trina was too nervous, hysterical, and completely uncontrolled.

Seeing that she was about to exhaust her strength while the baby was still stuck, Tatiana grew anxious and roared, “Don’t just push randomly! Listen to me!”
“I don’t want to die, save me, I don’t want to die, wuwuwu…”
”
Trina grabbed her sleeve tightly, the veins on the back of her hand popping. The previous threats and commands in her eyes were gone, replaced only by a desire for life and pleading.
“Save me, please, save me. I want to go home, wuwuwu… I want to go home…”
Tatiana took a deep breath and roared at the top of her lungs, “Shut up! If you cry one more time, I’ll cut open your stomach and save the baby!”
This sentence instantly terrified Trina. Her sobs stopped abruptly. She even forgot to sniffle.
“Follow my command! Inhale, exhale, inhale…”
Trina couldn’t help but cooperate.
Outside the door, Ashton had no desire to wait. He went to the nearest room to drink while he waited.
Although he valued this child, he wouldn’t put aside his dignity to wait for a woman to give birth.
A subordinate walked in, looking nervous. “Boss, we’ve made contact with the employer.”
“What did they say?”
“They… want you to let the people go.”
Ashton crushed the bottle in his hand, his face turning blue. “What do you mean?”
“They want us to just let the people go. The final payment has already been sent.”
When Ashton heard the money had arrived, he suddenly understood the employer’s meaning and gave a sinister smile. “Fine, let them go. Understood. Tell them not to worry. After the baby is born, I’ll let them go.”
The moment he finished speaking, the loud cry of a baby rang out.
Ashton shot to his feet and walked out impatiently.
At that moment, Tatiana’s hands were covered in blood as she held a small bundle, an undisguisable joy in her eyes.
“It’s a boy. Do you want to see?”
Trina was completely exhausted, lying on the bed and hanging by a thread, her eyes turning weakly toward
the child..
Tatiana immediately passed him over. “It’s a boy. He looks a lot like you.”

She shook her head. “It’s not good if he looks like me. He needs to look… look like Ashton… Only if he’s his child can this child live…”
Tatiana looked carefully for several moments. A newborn baby was wrinkled and not good–looking. She had difficulty making it out, but his features were somewhat similar to Ashton’s.
“He looks like him.”
Trina was visibly relieved.
Tatiana carefully cleaned the baby, wrapped him in soft cotton cloth, leaving only his little face exposed, and carried him out.
She ran right into the man who was rushing over. “Quick, give me the child!”
When Ashton saw the little bundle was a boy and looked like him, his brows lit up with joy. He waved his hand. “Order everyone! We celebrate tonight!”
As the one who delivered the baby, Tatiana was also treated well, given the best meal she’d had since arriving.
She carried the cooked steak and noodles into the room
But she found that only Hubert was lying in the room.
Ann was gone.
She panicked for a second. “Ann! Ann, where are you?”
She put down the food and searched the small room, but couldn’t find Ann.
Her anxiety reached its peak.
Moreover, Hubert had been lying motionless this whole time.
“Hubert!”
She went to help Hubert up, found he had fainted, and had a hard time waking him. He was still dazed and incoherent. “Madam Tati…”
“Hubert, where’s Ann? Where is Ann?”
“Ann is… is…” Hubert suddenly woke up, grabbing her hand and crying, “Ann said… said she was leaving, wuwuwu… She said she couldn’t let you make the choice, wuwuwu… She also told me to be good to you in the future… and to call you Mommy… what does that mean? Why did Ann leave!”
As he spoke, something fell out of Hubert’s pocket.
It was a torn piece of paper with writing on it.
It was a letter from Ann.
“Dear Mommy, by the time you see this paper, I’ll be gone. Don’t look for me…”
She scanned it, ten lines at a glance. Her hands and feet urned cold. She could barely hold the light piece of
paper.

Ann had found out about Trina forcing her to choose. But she had misunderstood, thinking Trina could only help her take one child.
And Ann, to prevent her from having to make that choice, had voluntarily sacrificed herself and run away.
At the end of the letter, Ann wrote, like a little adult:
“Mommy, in the future, if there is a future, I still want to be your baby.”
Her tears fell with a splat, blurring the childish handwriting.
She frantically folded the paper and urged, “Hubert, wait for me in the room! Don’t go anywhere! Remember! Don’t run off! Wait for me!”
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going to find Ann. I’ll bring her back! Don’t you run
Hubert didn’t dare cause more trouble and nodded through his tears.
She rushed out of the room, running outside, searching everywhere for a trace of Ann.
She had seen it. The beginning of the letter was also damp. Ann was clearly crying when she wrote it. The paper wasn’t dry yet. She couldn’t have gone far!
