"Bring her back!"

Rough male voices echoed in the private hospital corridor, with a flurry of chaotic footsteps drawing nearer, bringing a scent of blood and danger.

"No! Get away! Don't kill my baby! Don't touch my child!"

Maiko Qing, dragging her blood-stained long skirt, ran madly in the chilly hallway. Her tears and sweat had long mixed on her face, soaking her already pale small face. Disordered strands of hair stuck to her forehead, as the intense pain kept rushing up from her body.

"Sorry, Miss Mai, this is Mr. Zhuo's orders."

Two men in black forcefully grabbed Maiko Qing's arms and pushed her to the ground.

Maiko Qing tightly protected her belly, just like a frightened deer with wide eyes looking at the doctors and nurses approaching her.

"Where is Zhuo Haoting! Where is Zhuo Haoting! I want to see him! Ask him to see me!"

Maiko Qing roared frantically, as warm tears flooded down. She bit her teeth hard, and the taste of blood seeped from her lips.

"We are sorry, Miss Mai, we are just following orders, please don't make things difficult for us!"

The men did not heed Maiko Qing's resistance at all. They picked up her slender body from the ground and took her straight into the operation room.

"Let me go! Let me go! Don't touch my child! I want to see Zhuo Haoting! I want to see him!"

Maiko Qing was pinned down by four nurses on the operating table—the blinding surgical light shone on her face and pierced her heart at the same time.

Her tears broke through at this moment. The man she once loved the most—the man who had once promised to take care of her forever—why had he changed like this? What exactly had happened between them?

"Spread her legs apart!"

The doctor with a mask instructed coldly, speaking without any hint of emotion. This wasn't their first time seeing such a scene. For Mr. Chuo's woman to end up like this, all it could be said was that Mai Quecheng was simply unfortunate!

"No!"

From where she didn’t know, Mai Quecheng found the strength to wrench herself free from the nurse’s grip. She swiftly reached across the operating table and grabbed a pair of sharp scissors, aiming it directly at her own heart!

"Miss Mai, what are you doing?"

The man in black standing nearby was momentarily taken aback, and the scene became even more chaotic.

"Call him! Call Chuo Haoting! If he’s going to destroy my child, he should also come and collect my corpse!"

Mai Quecheng roared, her eyes reflecting an utter loss of reason.

"Miss Mai, you know that Mr. Chuo has already given his order. Why should you cross him like this?"

One of the men in black said helplessly. After all, Mai Quecheng was, in name, still Mr. Chuo's wife. Even without a child, she would still retain her position as Lady Chuo.

"HeHe… Orders? Chuo Haoting, you are ruthless! Call him! Now!"

Seeing Mai Quecheng's uncompromising stance, the man in black softened his attitude and pulled out his phone to dial Chuo Haoting's number.

"What’s wrong?”

An eerie voice came through the speaker, devoid of any emotion, even warmth. It was so calm, ghostly even.

"Chuo Haoting, what are you trying to do?"

Mai Quecheng's voice carried a hint of a sob, yet it held an underlying firmness. The person on the other end of the line fell silent for a few seconds.

"You must pay for what you've done."

"Do you really not trust me?"

"It has nothing to do with trust. The child must be aborted." He spoke of it as if it was an insignificant matter.

Mai Keqing was resolute: "If you kill the baby, I won't live in this world!"

"Whatever."

He spat out these two words coldly, indifferently, even with a touch of disgust. The phone was hung up ruthlessly, leaving no room for Mai Keqing!

"Heh heh...”

He finally made this decision. Zhuo Haoting, from the first day I met you, you are a real devil!

Mai Keqing's last bit of lingering affection vanished completely. The past days and nights were like an illusion. At this moment, they were shattered by Zhuo Haoting.

A faint smile crossed her lips, but it was full of despair.

"Zhuo Haoting, my only family, goodbye...”

Having said that, she lifted her hand, a sharp pair of scissors plunging resolutely into her chest without any hesitation!
