Anabelle Rathborne stared at Serena Sterling in shock, not understanding what she was saying! What did she mean by saying Anabelle had personally killed the child in Serena’s womb? Anabelle quickly thought of a possibility and spoke in disbelief, "Serena Sterling, could it be you want... you want to kill the child in your womb yourself and blame it on me?" Serena nodded, "Anabelle Rathborne, you finally figured it out." Anabelle looked at Serena, "Serena Sterling, this is your child, and you’re actually going to kill your own child. Even a tiger wouldn’t eat its cub, you’re too cruel!" Anabelle broke out in a cold sweat, this was Hayden Crawford’s first child, and if this child was lost, the consequences would be unimaginable. Anabelle didn’t want to get into this big trouble; her hand felt like it was stung by a bee, she quickly withdrew it. But it was too late, Serena grabbed hold of her. Anabelle’s eyes widened, her heart plummeting rapidly, she screamed in fear and desperately tried to break free from Serena’s grip, "Serena Sterling, let go of me, let go!" Serena looked up, at this moment she saw a tall and handsome figure ahead, Hayden Crawford had arrived. Serena curled her lips into a smile, a bright smile slowly blooming on her small face, "Anabelle Rathborne, I won’t let you threaten him his whole life with fleeting beauty, if one day I become his weakness, I will personally destroy myself. Now I announce, your game is over." Anabelle looked at Serena in horror, feeling utterly entangled by her. She couldn’t wait to fling her hand, "Get away!" Serena’s delicate body rolled down the stairs with the force. Thud thud thud, she rolled from the top to the bottom. Someone was screaming, and Serena had already rolled onto the soft wool carpet. Hayden Crawford rushed over, witnessing Serena tumble down the stairs, his dark pupils contracted sharply. He quickly ran over, "Serena!" He ran down, reaching out to hold Serena in his arms, "Serena, it’s me, how are you?" Serena felt dizzy. She opened her eyes and looked at Hayden Crawford’s flawless handsome face. Well, they say beauty is deceptive, it’s true, his handsome face has caused her so much trouble. "Pain." Serena murmured. Pain, her whole body was screaming with pain. She was crying out in pain. Hayden Crawford looked at her pale face, now a cold sweat had appeared on her forehead, it was genuinely painful. He didn’t dare to hold her tightly, afraid of causing her more pain, "Where does it hurt, Serena, quickly tell me where it hurts." "Master," at this moment Corvus pointed at Serena’s white dress in horror, "Miss Sterling is bleeding... bleeding a lot." Hayden Crawford looked down and saw the hot blood quickly flowing out from beneath her, forming a meandering stream on the carpet. She was wearing a white gauze dress today, now the lower part of the skirt was soaked with blood, wet. Hayden Crawford froze, his mind exploded with a boom as he stared at Serena in shock, "Serena, what happened to you, are you?" At this moment, Anabelle stood upstairs and screamed, "Serena’s pregnant, she’s miscarrying now!" She miscarried again. First, a voice said these two sentences in his ear, then countless voices repeated them, she was pregnant, she miscarried again. Scenes of her being unwell flickered like a movie in Hayden Crawford’s mind; her poor appetite, her sleepiness, her fondness for sour plums. He thought it was due to fleeting beauty, but it wasn’t, she was pregnant. She had his child in her womb. The instant he realized, a layer of crimson covered Hayden Crawford’s handsome eyes as he slowly turned his gaze to her small face. He asked, word by word, "Serena, are you... pregnant?" Serena closed her red lips, wanting to speak. "Enough, don’t say anything!" Hayden Crawford’s eyes were bloodshot as he directly lifted her horizontally, "Don’t speak, Serena, I don’t want to hear your voice right now, I’m taking you to the hospital!" Serena looked at the man, at this moment his handsome brows instantly filled with gloom, delicate contours appearing pale due to tension, temple veins throbbing. She had known him for so long, yet this was the first time she had seen him grimacing with rage. Just as she imagined, he cared very much about the child in her womb. A man as smart as him would easily realize she’s been hiding it from him; during this period when she’s not feeling well, she, as a doctor, knew she was pregnant, but she didn’t tell him. She didn’t say to him, "Congratulations Mr. Crawford, you’re going to be a daddy." So, he doesn’t want to hear her speak right now. The Rolls-Royce Phantom luxury car sped down the street at its fastest speed, prompting pedestrians to exclaim, "My God, who is that, driving isn’t driving anymore, but flying." Hayden Crawford rushed into the hospital holding a blood-soaked Serena Sterling, shouting with blood-red eyes, "Doctor! Doctor!" At this moment, the man was covered in blood, the woman’s lower skirt was soaked with blood too, indeed, it was the most embarrassing and helpless moment in the life of City of Aethelgard’s most esteemed man, his steps were chaotic as he searched for a doctor in the corridor. He could only look for a doctor. Besides searching for a doctor, he didn’t know what to do. Doctors and nurses in white coats quickly came over, "Mr. Crawford, what happened to Miss Sterling, quickly put her down." Hayden Crawford placed Serena on the stretcher, and then grabbed the doctor’s collar with one hand, "She miscarried. She miscarried, don’t let anything happen to her, understand? She can’t have anything happen to her." He was grimacing, murmuring that nothing can happen to her, as if stimulated and insane, the doctor broke out in a cold sweat, "Understood, Mr. Crawford, I will perform surgery on Miss Sterling immediately, please let go of me." A few nurses came over to hold Hayden Crawford, "Mr. Crawford, please be rational." Hayden Crawford slowly let go of his hand, the doctor quickly pushed Serena into the operating room, with a "bang," the red light of the operating room lit up. Hayden Crawford stood waiting in the corridor, he didn’t know she was pregnant, now the baby was gone, their first baby was gone. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by NoveI[F]ire.net His tall and strong body leaned against the cold wall, the baby left too quickly, he hadn’t even reached out to touch her belly. Actually, he had always wanted to have a baby with her, wishing for her to be the mommy of his baby. He became a daddy but didn’t know it. Hayden Crawford felt pain in his heart, so painful that he couldn’t breathe.
