Her mother should know what to do when she said it like that.
For now, the most important thing was to protect Nelson. Martin Weiss could not know that Nelson was his child no matter what.
“Take care? I’d like to know how you’re going to take care of it.” Suddenly, Martin
Weiss’s voice rang in the air.
Kyla Corbyn’s body suddenly stiffened.
She slowly raised her head and looked at
Martin Weiss.
She saw that the laptop that had been lying in his lap was now on the end table beside him. He picked up the bottle of mineral water nearby, casually unscrewed the cap, and drank it.
Some people seemed attractive even if they were just drinking water.
Martin Weiss was undoubtedly attractive to women!
Kyla Corbyn thought of a time when she wanted a sip from the bottle of mineral water Martin Weiss drank from. To put it nicely, it was indirect kissing.
Now that she thought about it, she was terribly naive.
Taking a deep breath, she said, “Martin Weiss, I think you and I know very well that you have no right to keep me here.
I’m a free woman now.”
“Free?” He chuckled. “Then how much do you think it would cost me to keep you from being free?”
This sounded almost like a threat!
Her heart sank, knowing that he was telling her that he was fully capable of controlling her freedom and could even find another reason to send her to prison again if he wanted to!
Thinking of her time in prison, Kyla Corbyn’s body could not help shaking slightly. Her face became paler and paler as well while her red lips were pressed together tightly. Her hands on her knees were clenched into fists as if she was desperately suppressing the fear in her heart.
Her behavior made him frown, then he put down the water bottle in his hand and went up to her. “What’s the matter?”
However, the moment his hand touched hers, she suddenly screamed, “Don’t touch me!”
Her tone and the look in her eyes seemed to be filled with a profound revulsion.
Martin Weiss’s face darkened as he grabbed Kyla Corbyn’s hand. “So what if I touched you? Kyla Corbyn, let me tell you. Unless I don’t want to touch, you have no right to refuse me!”
The pain in her wrist jerked Kyla Corbyn back to her senses.
The cold, pretty face that caught her sight told her that she was not in prison!
Just now… She had fallen into a trance and thought she was back in prison again.
‘No, I can’t go to jail again! I mustn’t go to jail again. I have Nelson to raise!’
“Martin Weiss, if you want to have a baby, you can find a woman who’s willing to be a surrogate to bear you one!
You don’t have to come to me,” said Kyla Corbyn after taking a deep breath.
Even if she said that she had not and that she was wronged, what good would that do? She was just humiliating herself over and over again.
She should have admitted it earlier so that she could finally erase the man from her heart.
Martin Weiss only felt an uncomfortable feeling spreading from his heart. Her admission did not seem to make him feel good. Instead, his chest felt like it was being pressed by something, and it made him a little out of breath.
“I don’t need you to tell me whether I’m satisfied. Besides, after the baby is born,
Paisley won’t know that you’re the mother,” he said coldly.
‘He has it all figured out!’ Kyla Corbyn looked at the man quietly.
‘He’s so protective of Paisley Daniels. He even thought about the baby for Paisley Daniels’s sake, but… “You said I owe you and Paisley Daniels a life, didn’t you?” she asked suddenly.
Martin Weiss stared at Kyla Corbyn. He did not know why but her calmness now made him a little uneasy.
Kyla Corbyn stood up and walked to the nearby bar. She took out a bottle of wine and an empty gla** before pouring herself a drink.
She might need a drink to give herself some courage.
Red wine was poured into her mouth with a sweet and bitter feeling… ‘It tastes really good.
‘Why had I never found wine to be so good before?’
After drinking a gla** of wine, Kyla Corbyn slammed her gla** against the edge of the bar. The gla** broke in half immediately. She held the half-broken gla** in her hand, and the rim of the gla** was full of sharp gla** shards.
“Kyla Corbyn, are you crazy?” Martin
Weiss fumed.
“Martin Weiss, tell me how I can pay you a life?” Kyla Corbyn asked with a faint smile as she seemed not to care about his anger right now.
His unease grew stronger. “What are you going to do?” There was a tension in his cold voice that he had not even noticed.
“This way, I shouldn’t be able to have another child!” She smiled and thrust the half-broken gla** that was in her hand toward her abdomen.
Red blood gushed down the side of the cup, seeping into her clothes and getting on her hands.
Martin Weiss’s pupils shrunk immediately as he lunged onward.
“what are you doing?” he shouted, but he did not dare to touch the broken gla** in her hand, for fear that if he did, he would aggravate her injury.
All he could do was put one hand firmly around her wrist to stop her from pushing the broken gla** further into her abdomen while his other hand was shakily holding his phone to call 999.
He had never thought it would be so hard to make an emergency call, but now he seemed to have spent all his strength.
When the call came through, he almost shouted to the operator on the other end of the line.
His usual calmness and composure were now trampled to pieces by this unexpected move! He could not even grasp his phone.
When the call was finally over, he glared at her, knowing that if he tried to pull out the gla** that pierced her abdomen, she would bleed even faster!
She might even lose a lot of blood and go into shock before she reached the hospital.
“Kyla Corbyn, are you so unwilling to give birth to my child?” he asked with pain in his eyes.
He had forgotten why he had asked her to expiate herself by giving him a child in the first place. All he could think about was how eager the woman in front of him wanted to get away from him.
Even at the cost of harming herself!
‘Isn’t this woman obsessively infatuated with me? Doesn’t she have to accept whatever I want?
‘Just like how she had to go to jail when I wanted her to go to jail!
‘However, why… do I feel like everything is out of my control?’
It was even as if he had discovered for the first time that she could be more resolute than he previously imagined.
She could hurt herself casually, but when he saw the blood oozing from her body, he felt cold. Every nerve in his body seemed to be tingling.
‘It’s as if she had thrust the broken gla**
into my body!
‘It hurts so much!’
However, his pain and anger now made Kyla Corbyn laugh. When she laughed, the blood in her abdomen oozed faster!
“Don’t laugh!” He panicked, afraid that she would be bleeding too fast and too much.
She laughed as if she was mocking his panic right now.
“This way, am I paying you a life?” Kyla Corbyn asked with some difficulty. She could feel the blood pouring out, but she would not die.
She had suffered too many injuries in prison. She had faced too many injuries that they made her a doctor of some sort, so she knew that such an injury would not kill her.
She did this just to make Martin Weiss understand her determination.
“I can go on for the rest of my life without having a baby, or you can have the doctor take my uterus out. Of course, it could’ve been already damaged and I may not be able to have another child at all,” Kyla Corbyn said with some difficulty, her eyes mocking the pale man in front of her.
There was no color in his face now, and his dark eyes were full of tension, pain, and panic as if he… cared about her. She might have thought so if she had not witnessed his ruthlessness.
He was just afraid that she would not be able to give him and Paisley Daniels a child.
“Martin Weiss, is it all right… I pay you with this?” Her blood trickled down the gla** and her fingers, dripping on the fine carpet.
His eyes were staring at her, but he could not say a word! He had never thought she could be so unyielding!
She was so unyielding that he felt fear rise within him.
