6 He stumbled to the emergency room door. He saw Sarah being helped, her eyes fixed on the dazzling red light that indicated surgery was in progress. Liam rushed over and grabbed her sleeve, his voice trembling. "Sis, how's Chloe? Is she okay?" Sarah violently flung his hand away, pointing at him, her tone terrifyingly calm. "Why aren't you with your Serena? What are you doing here? Are you here to see if the mother and child are dead yet? To clear the way for that wretched woman?" "I didn't... I just said to let her wait for me to come back to the hospital. I didn't know it would..." Liam was speechless, unable to retort. "Wait for you to come back?" Sarah suddenly laughed, a laugh that made him even more panicked. "Is childbirth something that can wait?" She fiercely grabbed his collar. "Dr. Miller prescribed medication to delay labor, and Martha forcibly fed it to her. David then had Dr. Miller administer a sedative, saying she was emotionally unstable. All because you said to wait for you to come back." "Your beloved mistress even called personally." Sarah's eyes were bloodshot. staring daggers at him < "She had people tie Chloe upside down and use thick ropes to constrict her abdomen. Even more hateful, she even had Martha use needle and thread to sew up Chloe's lower body! She said it was your order, to wait for you no matter what, and also to fix her temper!" "No... I didn't tell them to do that, I didn't know this would happen..." Liam shook his head, screaming. "I only told them to take good care of Chloe and wait for me to return. I would never tell them to do such a thing!" "You didn't know?" Sarah suddenly froze. "I truly didn't know. I called you, I thought you were lying... I didn't know, I didn't know..." He collapsed to the ground, clutching his hair, repeatedly saying that sentence. Just then, the surgery room door suddenly opened, and the doctor walked out, his face urgent. "Who is the patient's family? The pregnant woman is hemorrhaging and needs a blood transfusion; her condition is critical. Her lower body has perforated and torn. The baby's heartbeat is weak, any later and they might both die. An emergency C-section is required now. We need a signature on the consent form." Liam suddenly scrambled up, snatched the consent form, and, his hands trembling, signed it while crying out. "Use my blood, quickly! You must save her and the baby!" In the VIP Intensive Care Unit, I lay motionless, my lower body wrapped in bandages. Tubes were inserted all over my body, medication slowly dripping through the IV lines. < The room was silent, save for the beeping of instruments. Liam knelt by the bed, clutching my hand, his head buried by the bedside, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably. Moments later, he abruptly stood up, addressing the bodyguard beside him, his voice ice cold. "Bring everyone involved in the house that day, all of them!" He wanted to find out everything, to give me an explanation, to make everyone who hurt me pay the price. - After an interrogation, all the evidence pointed to one person Serena. The pitiful woman who had long been a victim of domestic violence, orphaned and poor. The gentle and obedient woman he once swore to protect for life. Liam couldn't believe it, that she would be so cruel to Chloe, nor that such viciousness lay beneath her gentle exterior! Even David sided with Serena, and was so cruel to Chloe! And she had done all this, empowered by him! He stood outside, smoking one cigarette after another, his expression unusually calm. Not until the last cigarette was harshly extinguished did he slowly walk towards Serena's room. He pushed open the door, meeting Serena's gaze. Seeing him enter, Serena immediately offered a gentle smile. more days." "How is Mrs. Miller?" Serena reached out to take his arm, gently probing. "I heard she went to the hospital. It's all my fault, I didn't know she was really going into labor. Don't be too sad, take care of your health." Liam violently flung her hand away, his tone calm but laced with a chilling coldness. "Who sent David the message, telling him to instruct Dr. Miller to prescribe medication to delay labor?" "Who called Martha, telling them to force Chloe to hold it in and wait for me?" Serena's body instantly stiffened. She shook her head wildly. "Not me. I just told them to wait for you to come back..." "No matter what method you use, you must wait until Liam returns'-is that right?" Liam, suppressing his rage, stepped closer, pushing her. "Serena, do you dare say you didn't say those words?"
