My Darling, My Dearest

Chapter 449 Where Is My Baby

"Talk? What else do you want to talk about?" Scarlett's eyes became more ferocious. She was already panting in rage. "Do you know what my parents did to me? They forced me to be with Jack so they could pay their debts. But now that Jack has abandoned me because of you, no one would give me money anymore. My father started to hit me since I couldn't give them money any longer. Look at these bruises when he hit me last night."

She rolled up her sleeves and showed Rachel the red marks that were still swollen.

Rachel was slightly taken aback. It never occurred to her that Scarlett was experiencing such a thing. But for the time being, she had no time to sympathize with Scarlett.

She said slowly, "If it's all about money, we can easily solve it. Let me go, and I'll write a check for you. You can then take it to your father so he can pay all his debts."

But what she said didn't bring any good at all. Scarlett suddenly yelled, "Are you trying to show off your wealth in front of me? I don't want your money. It's nothing compared to being with Jack. He is the CEO of MK Group. If I become his wife, I can be wealthier than you. But that will only happen if I get rid of your baby." Scarlett might have totally lost her mind.

Rachel didn't expect that she couldn't lure her. Scarlett was so determined to get rid of her baby.

Jack stepped on the accelerator and drove as fast as he could. But as soon as he reached a viaduct, he was blocked. He had no other way since he was in the middle of a traffic jam.

Rachel was still on the phone. Every time he heard her intermittent voice, the veins on his temples throbbed. Seeing that the flow of the traffic in front of him remained still, his anxiety reached its highest level. He suddenly pressed the steering wheel, and the horn let out a very long sound.

At this time, he clearly heard Rachel's voice. Perhaps she was too scared now because her tone changed. "Scarlett, please calm down. I will promise you anything except for the baby in my belly. Please sit down and have a good talk with me."

Jack felt like his heart was gripped tightly. Now that he was trapped here, he started to panic.

There was not much time left. Anything could happen to Rachel and his child in the hands of Scarlett.

Left with no choice, he pushed the car door open and ran as fast as he could.

Scarlett kept on pulling Rachel out of the office. When they reached the door, Rachel grasped the door frame tightly so Scarlett wouldn't be able to drag her more. She wanted to scream, but she knew that no one would hear her. Unfortunately, all of her colleagues had gone out for a meeting today, and she was left alone.

She had thought that she would enjoy more leisure time today. She didn't expect that Scarlett would come unannounced to kill the baby in her belly.

Scarlett gritted her teeth as she tried harder to pull Rachel out. But since Rachel grasped the door frame more tightly, she slipped and fell back uncontrollably.

She fell on the floor so hard, pulling Rachel down.

Jack rushed over just in time to see Rachel fall heavily to the floor.

Her face suddenly turned pale, and beads of cold sweat flowed down from her forehead. Her face was wet with mixed sweat and tears. Jack was stunned for a moment. He only came back to his senses when he heard a painful groan from her. He crouched to hold her up, but when he reached out his hand, he felt something wet.

When he looked at his hand, it was full of blood. He looked down and found that a lot of blood was already oozing from between Rachel's legs. She covered her belly tightly and said in a weak panicky voice, "Jack, my baby." "Don't move. I'll take you to the emergency room right away." Jack picked her up and rushed to the elevator.

Scarlett, who fainted when she fell hard on the floor, regained her consciousness. Still in a trance, she saw that Jack was about to leave with Rachel in his arms. She was so anxious that she stretched out her hands and held his leg. "Jack, don't go."

Jack looked back at her with a murderous look. He raised his other foot, gave her a heavy kick, and snapped, "I'll deal with you later!"

When he reached the emergency room, Jack looked at the busy staff. At this time, he seemed to have lost all his calmness and sanity already. He roared loudly, "Doctor, I need help! Save my wife and my child!"

Jack waited outside the emergency room while the doctor was checking on Rachel. The waiting time had been extremely long.

Rachel slowly opened her eyes, and subconsciously touched her belly. When she felt that it was still bulgy, she heaved a sigh of relief. Her baby was still there.

She was talking to her baby while gently rubbing her belly when the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Scarlett appeared.

Scarlett was wearing the most ferocious face while pointing an index finger at her. She walked to the bedside and said fiercely, "You survived the first time. But now, I will never let you go that easy. You and your baby must die!"

She reached out her hands and strangled Rachel's neck with all her might. "I've just realized, even if your baby dies, Jack will still stay with you. The only way for him to go back to me is to kill you too."

Rachel choked. She felt like her lungs didn't have any air anymore. She wanted to remove Scarlett's hands on her neck, but she lost all her strength to do so.

At this moment, she wondered if she and her baby could still see the world.

All of a sudden, she heard Jack whisper in her ear, "Rachel, are you okay? Are you having a nightmare?"

Rachel shivered and opened her eyes at once. Looking around the ward uneasily, she gradually realized that everything was just a dream. She asked fearfully, "Jack, how's my baby?"

"Don't worry. The baby is alright. According to the doctor, your condition is stable now." Jack patted her hand gently. Although his eyes were full of worry, his voice was full of love. "Do you still feel uncomfortable?"

"I'm fine," Rachel replied lightly. She thought for a while before she asked, "Where is Scarlett?" It seemed that Jack didn't want to talk about Scarlett. He stroked the messy hair near her ear and said, "You are still weak. Don't think about her yet. Just have a good rest first."

She took his hand away and said with a faint smile, "Jack, leave me alone from now on."

During her six months of pregnancy, Rachel had never been too emotional just like other pregnant women. But when Scarlett suddenly appeared and forced her to have an abortion, she realized how valuable her baby was to her.

It was indeed true that parents were willing to risk their own lives for the sake of their children.

Rachel thought that her life would be meaningless if her baby was gone.

Thus, she would never put her baby's life in danger ever again.

So she said softly, "Let's divorce the soonest time possible."

Jack held her hand tightly and said in a low voice, "Rachel, please don't leave me. Trust me, this will never happen again. I will do everything to protect you and our baby."

Rachel didn't know how long it had passed, but she didn't feel sleepy at all. She just stared at the ceiling with her eyes wide open.

All of a sudden, the door of her ward was pushed open from the outside. Lea then rushed to her bedside. A bit teary, she asked, "Rachel, how are you feeling right now?"

"Lea..."

Upon seeing her face, Rachel seemed to have woken up from a dream. The fear that she thought had already dissipated, suddenly surged up in her heart again. She took Lea's hand and sobbed.

Rachel had always been a strong woman. No matter what happened, she would always stuff things into the pit of her stomach and would never express her feelings. When she couldn't take it anymore, she would close the door and weep silently. But this time was different. For the first time, Lea heard her heartbreaking cry. This made her cry even more.

Henry gently patted Jack's shoulder. The two of them didn't have the heart to look at the tears in their women's eyes, so they walked out of the ward.

Jack lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. No one could tell how regretful he was.

He was so scared when the doctor told him that if Rachel was sent to the emergency room a few minutes later, the baby couldn't be saved, and her uterus had to be removed.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

At that moment, he wished that he could tear Scarlett apart. But then, he also couldn't help blaming himself. No matter how angry he got, he shouldn't have resorted to finding another woman to provoke Rachel. Because of what he did, a lot of bad things had already happened to her.

He kicked the wall hard and growled, "I'm such a bastard!"

"That's enough!" Henry grabbed his arm to stop him. "I don't know what really happened between you and Scarlett. But now that you want to fix things between you and Rachel, you have to start doing something. It's not too late yet."

Inside the ward, Rachel had gradually stopped crying. Her eyes were now red and swollen. Lea took a tissue and carefully wiped Rachel's face. She then deliberately joked, "Since you have cried a lot, your child will also become a crybaby when it comes out. I'm sure you will get annoyed."

"No, it won't," Rachel retorted with a smile. Somehow, Lea's words made her feel a bit better.

Lea lifted the quilt and sat down on the edge of the bed. She held Rachel's hand tightly and said, "Rachel, it's all over now. Don't think about it anymore. I know that Jack will protect you and your baby well from now on."

With a bitter smile on her face, Rachel asked, "Protect me? Lea, I don't want to put myself or my baby's life in danger ever again. I just want to live peacefully with my baby." "What do you mean by that?" Lea asked, confused.
