Chapter 4

In the afternoon, I had a terrible headache, so I closed my eyes and dozed off on the bed for a while.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I fell into a deep nightmare.

The dream was full of the abuse those people inflicted on me at the bar last night.

I screamed for help desperately, but no one responded.

Until I saw Alexander standing at the door, backlit.

"Huff..."

I struggled to wake up, realizing my back was already soaked.

"Still playing the victim?"

"You can sleep so soundly now, looks like those guys went too easy on you yesterday."

"Sophia is pregnant too. Why don't you go be her postpartum nanny at the care center?"

Alexander looked at me with an amused expression, his eyes gleaming with something indescribable.

I looked at him calmly, indifferently saying:

"Whatever you say."

Seeing no reaction from me, he found it a bit boring. He then sat down casually on the edge of the bed and punched my stomach hard.

The stomach that had just been cleaned out immediately started to hurt intensely, and I couldn't help but cry out in pain.

The evil in Alexander's eyes grew stronger, and he cruelly said to my stomach:

"Little one, if you ever disobey me like your mother does, I'll punch you to death just like this."

I knew he wanted to provoke me, to see my expression of pain, but I refused to give him that satisfaction.

I gritted my teeth and stared at him intently.

The silent confrontation only ended when Alexander's phone rang.

As soon as he answered the call, Sophia's sobbing voice came through.

"Alex, come quick, my stomach hurts so bad!"

After hanging up the phone, Alexander's face immediately darkened, and without a word, he slapped me hard.

"I'm telling you, if anything happens to the child in Sophia's belly, don't even think about keeping your own child!"

"You'll have to kneel down and apologize to Sophia too!"

My right cheek swelled up instantly.

The taste of blood in my mouth grew stronger, and I spat it out with a "pah".

It turned out he had knocked out one of my teeth.

But Alexander didn't even look at me again, leaving hurriedly with a worried expression.

I watched his departing figure, my heart a wasteland.

After a long while, I took out my phone and booked a flight to Jinghai City.
