Reborn of Kate by Isla Rainfield

Chapter 261 Terror 

Ruth’s countenance froze in a fleeting moment of dismay. 

She, a woman, and Kate, likewise. How could the unborn child within her possibly belong to Kate? It was an utter impossibility! 

Attempting a strained chuckle, she persisted in casting herself as the aggrieved party. “Kate, did we not agree previously? When the time comes, we shall stand as godmothers to each other’s progeny. Your child shall be mine, and mine, yours…. 

Kate absorbed Ruth’s words with a mounting sense of revulsion. 

She recoiled, avoiding Ruth’s presence, her eyes awash with disdain. “Ruth, have you no shame? When have I ever entertained such notions? And do you truly believe I am unaware of whose child resides within your belly?” 

Kate fixed Ruth with a piercing gaze, her tone turned to ice. “Cease this pretence before me. It sickens 

me.” 

With those words, she turned on her heel and departed. 

“Katel” 

Ruth endeavoured to pursue Kate, yet was restrained by the stern grip of the female officer beside her. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

The officer frowned, her countenance unyielding as she addressed Ruth. “The examination concluded. It is time to accompany us. 

At the utterance of these words, Ruth quivered visibly. She clasped the officer’s arm tightly, pleading desperately, “Ms. Dagwood, I cannot retum! I cannot bear to return to that prison. They will harm me, and I fear for my unborn child!” 

Tears streamed down Ruth’s face, her sorrow like a mother praying for shelter and a hot meal for her starving child in the depths of winter. 

Having just regained her freedom, now carrying a child, was she truly to be consigned back to confinement? 

This, she could not endure! 

The officer’s countenance remained unyielding. “Protocols are not yet fulfilled. As per regulations…. 

Before she could finish her statement, Ruth’s eyes rolled back, and she collapsed limply to the ground. 

“Ruth!” 

The officer’s voice rang out sharply as she swiftly moved to support Ruth’s body. Another male officer hurried forward to assist, preventing her from crashing to the ground, and urgently called for medical aid.

against the determination of a pregnant woman feigning a swoon. They had no recourse but to Transport Ruth to the hospital ward. 

As for Kate, she remained unaware of the subsequent events, her vexation mounting. 

Clearly, today had not been her auspicious day. First Lana, now Ruth? It seemed ill–fated indeed! 

As Kate stood poised to depart through the hospital’s grand gates, a sudden commotion heralded the arrival of an ambulance. 

“Make way!” 

The ambulance’s doors swung wide, releasing a stretcher with swift precision. Doctors barked urgent commands, swifily maneuvering the stretcher inside. 

Across the threshold, a prepared medical team hastened forth, seamlessly assuming control. With urgency, they propelled the stretcher towards the emergency ward. 

Upon it lay a woman, her figure obscured by blood, her limbs contorted. Kate stole a fleeting glance, startled by the stark crimson tableau, her complexion paling as she recoiled, her heart thrumming violently in her chest. 

That searing scarlet evoked Kate’s deepest fears.. 

Echoes of past calamities besieged her mind–her brothers‘ tragic demise, Eric’s sorrowful end, her parents‘ brutal departure–all steeped in that vivid, unsettling hue. 

Kate leaned heavily against the cold stone wall, clasping her chest, pallor draining from her face, breath fleeting 

Beads of sweat trickled down her trembling palms, her body feeble, scarcely able to sustain itself. Her thoughts churned in disarray, suffused with unbridled dread. 

Madam, madam! 

The bodyguards rushed to Kate’s side, alarmed by her plight. Yet, despite their urgent entreaties, Kate seemed ensnared within her own confused thoughts, arms enfolding herself, trembling uncontrollably. 

Her eyes, once alight with life, now brimmed with naught but fear and hollow emptiness.
