Chapter 2: Teach Her a Lesson
“I’m sorry, little baby…” Hayden covered her tummy with a slightly reluctant look. As the operation was going to take place, the door of the operation room was suddenly kicked open after a loud bang. Men in black suits swarmed into the room, making the room crowded at once.
“Who, who are you?” It all happened too fast and the doctor and the nurses were shocked. Surgery knives dropped onto the operating table, waking up Hayden too. Without having the chance to react, one of the men who was walking to her straightly immobilized her and stabbed her with an anesthesia needle.
Looking at what happened before them, the doctor and nurses were all in a daze. The man who left last took out a stack of cash from his pocket and tossed it to the doctor while saying coldly, “This woman had never come here, got it?”
“Y… yes.” The doctor and the nurses all behaved in a jittery manner.
After the anesthetic effect had passed, Hayden woke up with a confused mind and realized she was in a luxurious bedroom. At the same time, someone had pushed the door open and entered. “Are you awake? Ms. Downey.” The comer was a middle-aged man. He was carrying a tray full of delicate dishes. Seeing Hayden watching him with alert, he let out a smile.
“How do you know that my last name is Downey?” She felt more and more suspicious as she did not even know who the person was. “Why are you bringing me here?”
“Ms. Downey, what happened that night…was an accident.” They had actually gotten the wrong person! The butler said apologetically, “Mr. Beckham did not want to go after the matter, but what we never think of is Ms. Downey has actually gotten pregnant. Since Ms. Downey is pregnant, Mr. Beckham wants the child.”
Lightness instantly dawned on Hayden. The ‘Mr. Beckham’ he mentioned was actually that horrible man! “How could he do this! Tell that Mr. Beckham this is my child, and I can do whatever I want to it!”
Feeling helpless, the butler handed a newspaper he brought to her. “Why don’t you have a look at this first?” Hayden did not want to take it over, yet she caught a glimpse of the headline. “Downey Group is suspected to cheat in stock, its stock price plunged today, how would the Downey Group solve the problem?” Hayden snatched the newspaper over and her face went cadaverous after reading it. She glared at the butler in rage and yelled, “Mr. Beckham did that, didn’t he? How could he be so despicable…”
Without changing his expression, the butler said, “Ms. Downey, as long as you give birth to the child, not only that the Downey Group would be fine, you would also get twenty million yuan. I suppose Ms. Downey would not bear to see the Downey Group go bankrupt?”
Hayden squeezed the newspaper with hatred and the butler handed her a document silently. Hayden struggled for a long while as she looked at the document. She finally gritted her teeth and made her decision. “I’ll sign it!” The butler was obviously satisfied when he received the signed document and he said, “Don’t worry, Ms. Downey. After successfully giving birth to the child, Mr. Beckham would definitely fulfill his promise.”
…
Time flew and it was eight months later. Lightning was flashing outside and the loud thunder woke Hayden up from her sleep. She felt a sharp pain from her stomach. She extended her hand and pressed the bell located on the bedside cabinet with all her strength. After ringing it, she passed out.
“The kid’s coming out!” Hayden puffed hard and could vaguely hear the loud cry of the baby. She forced her eyes open but without being able to look at it, the baby was brought out by the nurse. Hayden was transferred to the ward after a few minutes and the butler walked in. Hayden was still in pain that she grasped the blanket. She asked, “Where’s the baby?”
“The baby has been sent to Mr. Beckham, it’s a healthy boy,” the butler said. He put an envelope on the cabinet. “This is the twenty million yuan cheque. Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Downey.” After finishing his words, he was ready to leave.
“No, you have to let me see my child…” Hayden panicked and she jerked off the blanket, wanting to get down the bed. It was also her child no matter how! Yet she was too weak and she fell directly onto the ground. She felt a rush of intermittent pain and wailed. But she could only watch the butler’s leaving without being able to do anything. “Please, let me see my child…”
A few minutes later, a nurse went in to give her medication. Seeing her on the ground, the nurse quickly held her up, yet she realized her hands were full of blood. The nurse’s face went pale immediately and she rushed out in panic. Hayden who slowly lost her consciousness could vaguely hear the nurse’s words. “Dr. Miller! There’s another baby in the woman’s womb!”
