Chapter 4
My hand trembled as I reached for the cake on the floor, but Maxwell kicked it away.”
“You ruined Chelsea’s good intentions and you still have the nerve to eat it with your hands?“>
I took a deep breath and lay down next to them, biting a piece of the cake with my mouth.
The strong taste of strawberries instantly filled my entire mouth. I subconsciously wanted to throw up, but Maxwell covered my mouth. “You’re not allowed to leave a single bite. Otherwise, I’ll send you to those thugs‘ beds.”>
Thinking of the people who had dragged me into the alley when I was little, my body shuddered violently. I desperately swallowed the cake in my mouth.
“Max, look, Suzanne looks like a dog.“”
“Do you think she also flattered those thugs like this?” Chelsea’s piercing laughter entered my ears.}
I only felt an unbearable itching on my neck and arms. Dense red rashes appeared on my exposed skin.
I have a severe strawberry allergy. Even a little bit will cause a reaction.
After finishing the entire cake, I could barely breathe. My brain was severely oxygen–deprived and I couldn’t see anything in front of me.
“Dramatic.”
Maxwell kicked me. Seeing that I didn’t react, he also started to panic. He wanted to call an ambulance, but Chelsea stopped him.
Max, didn’t you say Suzanne is best at pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy?”
“Maybe she’s just faking it now.“>
“Max, go to my house to see the little turtle. It hasn’t eaten again recently.”
Maxwell glanced at me, hesitated momentarily and then left the villa with Chelsea.
When I woke up again, I was in a hospital room, the oxygen mask on my face making me feel disoriented.§
Just before I passed out, the housemaid had found me and sent me to the hospital.
“I’m sorry, Miss Sullivan. We couldn’t save your child.“}]
The doctor’s words completely stunned me.
“What child?“D
The doctor frowned and shook off my hand.
“You have a severe strawberry allergy. The baby was already three months old.”
“Because you ingested too many strawberry products, the baby couldn’t be saved.“}
The way the doctor looked at me was like looking at an irresponsible mother.
How could I have Maxwell’s child?
We clearly always took precautions. Only once, when he had a fight with Chelsea and came back wanting to vent his frustration at night.” My face paled. Just as I was about to speak, Maxwell pushed open the door and interrupted me.§
Looking at my pale face, Maxwell frowned.“]
“Suzanne, how can you be so useless that you can’t keep a child?“}
“Because you lost the baby, Chelsea has already fainted from guilt.“}
“If anything happens to Chelsea, I’ll hold you responsible.”}
Seeing that I didn’t speak, Maxwell grabbed the doctor and was about to leave, saying as he walked.§ “Doctor, hurry up and check on my girlfriend. She’s been unconscious for three hours.”
Then, he turned his gaze to me.”
“You’re strong. A miscarriage isn’t a big deal. Go apologize to Chelsea when she wakes up later.“)
Seeing that I still didn’t move, Maxwell yanked me off the hospital bed and dragged me to the next room.
A sharp pain came from my lower belly. Cold sweat poured from
my forehead.}
“It hurts,” I whispered, my face pale. The wound from the miscarriage was tearing open again, leaving a trail of blood behind me.!! Maxwell didn’t even pause. He shoved me in front of Chelsea’s hospital bed.
Chelsea had just woken up. She looked at me and shrank back in horror, diving into Maxwell’s arms.
“Apologize to Chelsea.”
