Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 277

He breathed a sigh of relief, stroked her head and said, "Now close your eyes and you won't have nightmares as long as you think only me." There was a hint of tease in his tone to ease her tension.

She curled up into his arms, trying not to think of the dead fat pig, but the shadow lingering in her heart could not get rid of.

She kept having nightmares the whole night, in which she gave birth to a very big and ugly child. Everyone was laughing at her, humiliating her, and even Zac left her.

When she woke up, she was in a cold sweat and extremely frightened. She could not help but cover her lower abdomen with her hands, telling herself desperately that the child was Zac's. He must be Zac's... But her heart was still beating fast and she still felt uneasy.

The next day, she went to the studio. An old lady had been waiting outside the exclusive shop for a long time. Amy and Jacy went to the client's house today, so the door of the studio was not opened.

"You must be Essie. Great! You are finally here!" The old lady smiled at the sight of her and introduced herself, "I'm Todd's mother."

When she heard the name of Todd, Essie got nervous and said, "I don't know who is Todd. You've mistaken me for somebody else."

"How can I mistake you for someone else? I saw the video you took with my son. You are the one." The old lady grabbed her arm and said, "I heard that you are pregnant. This is the only blood of my son. You must give birth to the baby, please!" Then she suddenly knelt down in front of her.

However, Essie was so painful that she stepped backwards as if she was stabbed by a needle. She yelled, "I don't know Todd. Please go out!" The salesgirl downstairs heard the noise, rushed up, grabbed the old lady and dragged her out of the house.

"I will come to you again. I must get my grandson back." She shouted as she went downstairs.

Essie curled up in the corner and covered her ears with her hands, not wanting to hear any word.

This time, she thought of Zac. If the baby was not his, he would surely become the laughing stock of the whole Dragon City. His wife cheated on him and even gave birth to a bastard. He was a noble and superior man. How could he bear such ridicule? Grandpa, grandma and Daddy were all so nice to her. How could she disappoint them and let them be disgraced because of her?

She bit her lips hard and rushed out. She didn't want this baby any more. Even if she couldn't have a baby in the future, she wouldn't let this bastard born.

In the hospital, director Li arranged the surgery for her, which was the last one of the afternoon.

She waited alone in the corridor, her thin figure trembling like a leaf blown off by the cold wind.

All of a sudden, a low voice came through, "What are you doing here, Essie?"
