The CEO Gets What He Wants novel Chapter 617

Chapter 617 Fighting Fire With Fire

Cecelia was lifted onto the operating table.

Tears of despair cascaded from the corners of her eyes like a breached sea.

In that moment of desperation, she found herself foolishly hoping that Xavier would come to her rescue.

However, the man was entirely consumed with rescuing his own son, much like Griselda's relentless pursuit of extracting my baby's bone marrow. Her gaze suddenly darkened as she clenched her fist

On that fateful day, when she discovered that he was the father of her child, a glimmer of joy briefly flickered within her. However, before she could fully savor that happiness, he was on the verge of making a cruel decision regarding her and their unborn baby.

How ironic!

In the past, he had showered her with utmost care and consideration, displaying unwavering concern for their baby. Her heart gradually grew fond of him, believing he was her true love. However, in the end, she uncovered that it was all merely a preposterous deception.

She chastised herself for falling victim to her ex-boyfriend's deception in the past and failing to learn from her previous mistakes. Now, she found herself ensnared once more in a hawk's predatory gaze. She placed the blame solely on herself for her own blindness and foolishness, holding no one else responsible.

At that moment, Cecelia was bound to the operating table like a puppet. Her body was spread out in a humiliating manner, and her mouth was tightly sealed with transparent tape, making it nearly impossible for her to utter even a whimper.

The doctor callously commanded, “Administer the labor-inducing injection to her!”

The icy liquid entered Cecelia's veins, and she remained unaware of the specific drug they used, but its effect was immediate.

Her belly swiftly became unbearably painful, and she silently writhed on the operating table.

Griselda, coldly observing from the side, grew impatient and asked, “Dr. Baxton, how much longer until she gives birth like this?”

Maxim, while carefully tidying up the surgical tools, responded with the utmost care, “Ms. Whitman, I used the latest labor-inducing substance developed abroad on her. Under usual circumstances, it might take one to two hours for her cervix to fully dilate, but with this medication, it should take no more than half an hour.”

Griselda huffed, her sharp and icy gaze piercing the frail Cecelia, “Half an hour? That's too slow. We should just perform a cesarean section and take the child directly. How merciful of me!”

“Uh... Uh...” Cecelia winced in agony, her eyes bloodshot with intense hatred. The veins on her forehead bulged as she wished to disintegrate Griselda with her gaze alone.

Griselda looked down on her condescendingly, using even more malicious words to provoke her, “What's the matter? Are you daydreaming about when Xavier will come to rescue you? You might as well give up on that idea. Do you honestly think he ever wanted to be with you? You're just deluding yourself! He knew from the start that Sammy had leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant. That's why he casually impregnated some woman just to save our son. Only a fool like you would believe he's with you because he loves you.”

Griselda's words were akin to a poisoned dagger, relentlessly piercing Cecelia's heart and soul.

The mental torment inflicted was far more agonizing than any physical pain she had endured.

The road was congested with traffic.

The unending line of vehicles ahead caused Xavier to slam his fist forcefully onto the steering wheel in frustration, repeatedly muttering, “Shit! Shit!”

The intensifying twitch in his right eyelid heightened his sense of foreboding. He hastily dialed Griselda's number, but the call remained unanswered, repeatedly notifying him of no response.

Determined, he persistently dialed until the call was finally answered.

Without waiting for the other person to speak, he angrily exclaimed, “Griselda, what are you doing? Cecelia is innocent; any problem should be directed at me! I will find other ways to help Sammy with his illness. Please spare her!”
