Chapter 70
He wanted to start a business, so I gave him money.}
He was busy with work, so I quit my job to take care of the household and his meals.
Originally, I hadn’t planned to have children, but he said he wanted the happiness of a family of three.
After I finished crying, Metta said, “All of this was just to scare you!“}]
If that’s true, then wasn’t Mr. Keith also working with Harold?}
A chill ran through me as I looked at Metta in shock.
She nodded. “Mr. Keith is very likely in cahoots with Harold.“}
She looked at my belly with a complicated expression. “If I hadn’t taken you away in time yesterday and given you the antidote, you probably would have miscarried.”}
I tried to steady my racing heart. “I called for emergency help.”
Metta looked at me intently. “Did you really call?“}
I checked my call log again. I was sure I had called, but there was no record.
“At that time, you were already hallucinating,” Metta said.
I licked my dry, cracked lips and stayed silent for a moment before saying, “I want to leave.“}
I needed to get a blood test.”
“Alright.”
Metta didn’t stop me but added me as a contact.}
She said, “If you want Harold to pay, contact me.”
After meeting with the lawyer, I went straight to the testing center for an expedited blood test.}
Unexpectedly, while waiting for the results, Harold suddenly appeared.”
I shivered with fear and tried to run reflexively, but he grabbed my arm tightly.”
He gave me a cold, forced smile. “Raina, you really have a strong life. I tried twice to burn you alive, but both times you escaped.“}
I asked in disbelief, “You did those two times on purpose?“}
After I got pregnant, Harold had twice cooked breakfast for me but left the stove on when he rushed out for urgent matters.
Once, I was awakened by the smell of burning and hurried to turn off the stove.
Another time, a neighbor upstairs saw black smoke coming from my kitchen and came banging on my door.
Harold sneered, “Don’t count on that kind of luck today. Come with me!“}]
He dragged me along.”
I struggled desperately, shouting for help.
When a passerby tried to come closer, Harold immediately held me tightly in his arms to keep me close.
He pulled a medical diagnosis paper from his pocket, wearing a bitter smile.
“My wife suffers from severe paranoia. She was supposed to be in the hospital for treatment but sneaked out when the nurse wasn’t paying attention.“%
“No, I’m not! He wants to hurt me and my baby!” I panicked, trying to explain.
But the bystanders believed Harold’s story and told him to take care of the ‘mentally ill me‘ and not let me disturb everyone.
Harold kept smiling apologetically.
I steeled myself and bit his arm hard.
He screamed in pain.
Taking the chance, I pushed him away and rushed toward a passerby carrying a designer bag.
I needed to make a scene. That was my only chance to escape.
Unexpectedly, Chloe suddenly stepped in front of me.
Chloe sneered, “Raina, stop making a scene and come back with us obediently.“%
She stepped closer, closing in on me
Harold, clinching his arm, approached from behind #
Supporting my belly, I found myself backed into a comer%
Just then, Metta suddenly burst out from the crowd, shouting, “My sister isn’t crazy He’s a human trafficker!”
Metta slammed her hand into Harold’s face:
Chloe tried to help Harold, but I stopped her and slapped her hard &
Crice froze eyes wide in shock &
It seemed she never expected me to dare het her
Metta pushed Hard aside and pulled me away running.
I sincerely thanked her. “You saved me again, thank you”
