With both her hands and legs tied, Lily’s heart was swallowed by utter despair.
Her body shook harder and harder. Even if she didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of seeing her fear, tears still spilled freely down her face.
John was just about to rip away the last of her clothing when he felt the wet
Lifting his face, he saw her delicate features streaked with tears. on his skin.
His chest gave a sudden, painful throb. Pain and jealousy burned together, scorching him unnl 745 he were dead.
He hated her so much.
Hated her for breaking her promise and walking away.
Hated her for being, in his mind, promiscuous enough to let other men have her.
And yet… even in his madness, he couldn’t stand to see her cry.
Yes-that was it. She couldn’t let go of James because she was carrying James’s bastard child.
Once that child was gone and she carried his, she wouldn’t think about any other man again.
With that thought, he climbed off her and went to fetch the abortion pills he had prepared.
The moment he left the room, Lily tried to escape.
But with her hands and feet bound, it wasn’t easy. She managed to inch her way toward the edge of the bed, but before she could get down, John returned with the pills.
“Lily, drink it! As long as you take this, I won’t hold your betrayal against you. I’ll still marry you.”
“I’m not drinking-mmph!”
She had no intention of taking them.
But he didn’t give her the chance to refuse. One hand clamped hard on her jaw, forcing it open, while the other tipped the bottle against her lips, pouring the liquid into her mouth.
“Mmph-“
She clenched her teeth, fighting him, but his grip on her jaw was brutal. Against her will, her mouth opened, and more than half the bottle’s contents slid down her throat in an instant.
“Cough, cough-“
She choked violently.
She wanted to gag herself, to bring the medicine back up, but with the tie still tight around her wrists, she couldn’t. She couldn’t save her baby.
“Lily!”
The door slammed open with a deafening crack.
James stormed in, striding straight to the bed where Lily was doubled over, coughing in pain.
John was trying to drag her into his arms and crush his mouth to hers.
James knew she still had feelings for Jackson-there was no way she’d let John hurt her like this.
In two long strides, James was there. His fist swung in a vicious arc, smashing into John’s jaw so hard it knocked his face to the side. Before John could recover, James’s boot slammed into his chest.
“James! Who told you you could touch her? You’re dead!”
He had already wanted to kill James for laying hands on her again.
Now, after taking James’s blows, his murderous fury swelled into a blood-soaked inferno.
He drew back his fist, ready to strike-
But James hadn’t come alone.
+10 From Cons
Ashton and several bodyguards moved in, forming a solid wall around John. He had no way to land another hit on James.
“Lily, are you all right?”.
James knew that after what he’d done to her last night-treating her worse than an animal-she must hate him to her very core and want no physical contact with him.
But seeing her coughing so hard, pain etched into her face, his heart ached. He still reached out and gently patted her back to help her catch her breath.
When he noticed her hands and feet were bound, he quickly undid the restraints and asked softly, “What did John do to you? Did he hit you? I’ll take you to the hospital.”
“James…”
The moment she saw him, Lily’s tears burst forth like a dam breaking.
If only he’d arrived a few moments earlier…
She had once believed she would never have the chance to be a mother.
By some twist of fate, she was carrying James’s child. She had finally found a bond of blood, someone who was truly hers, and it had filled her with joy.
But in the end… she thought their child was still lost.
Seeing her trembling so hard she couldn’t even stand, James abandoned restraint and pulled her firmly into his arms.
Despair and pain ripped through Lily’s chest.
Hearing the strong, steady beat of his heart, she,couldn’t help but remember the times he had saved her before and felt the urge to hold him tightly in return.
But the image of what she had seen in his study that morning flashed before her.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t like women-he just couldn’t like her.
He already had someone he cared for. She had been wrong to take advantage of him last night, and she couldn’t make another mistake now.
She didn’t speak, didn’t hug him back. Pale-faced and numb, she let him carry her out to the car.
“Ms. Lily…”
After James carried Lily out of the living room, Mandy slowly emerged from the kitchen.
It was a long while before she murmured, almost in a trance, “You’ll be fine.”
Lily had been nothing but kind to her during her stay, had helped her many and watch her boss hurt Lily..es. She couldn’t stand by
If her boss forced an abortion, it would be a crime-and she couldn’t watch him step onto that path of no return.
He had ordered special medication prepared so as not to harm Lily’s body. Maridy had secretly switched the abortion pills in the bottle with medication meant to protect a pregnancy.
James and Lily had already agreed to go their separate ways.
Even if he had rushed to her aid this time, there would be no future between them.
After politely, distantly thanking him, Lily said nothing else for the rest of the drive.
James had already contacted the hospital ahead of time. As soon as they arrived, doctors rushed out with a gurney and wheeled Lily straight into the emergency room.
As the doors closed, Lily’s tears spilled again. “Doctor, I was forced to take abortion medicine. Please, I’m begging you-save my baby!”
“Abortion medicine?”
James had brought her to the same private hospital where she had stayed before.
Inside the emergency room were not only the hospital’s top obstetricians but also several renowned specialists.
Because she had struggled so fiercely when John tried to force the liquid down her throat, much of it had spilled onto her clothes.
A gray-haired female doctor lifted the hem of her shirt and sniffed lightly. “If I’m not mistaken, what you drank wasn’t abortion medicine-it was medication to help sustain a pregnancy.”
“What?”
Lily’s eyes widened in shock.
John had been determined to kill her baby. There was no way he would have given her something to protect it.
It had to have been Mandy who stepped in.
Relief washed over her-Mandy had saved her.
