Chapter 299
Night was falling, and the world was blanketed in a heavy
snowfall
In the howling wind, Hammond drove Yuna, who had secretly fled the island, and parked the car in a secluded corner of the hospital’s parking lot. Yuma was shielded against the cold, her face covered with a mask and her head wrapped in a thick scarf. Despite these layers, the bump of her pregnant belly was evident
After receiving a phone call, Hammond turned to say something to Yuna He caught sight of her pregnant belly and couldn’t help but smirk. “You really know how to push yourself To make the act more convincing, you actually went ahead and got yourself pregnant”
Yuna shot Hammond an angry look. What could she do? When she first lived on the island, her pregnancy wasn’t showing, which aroused suspicion from Frederick’s men
Yuna had no clinice but to get pregnant by sleeping with one of Frederick’s bodyguards. Today, she managed to escape from the heavily guarded island, thanks to the help of that same bodyguard.
Knowing Marguerite’s exact due date, she had been taking labor–inducing drugs for several days, hoping to give birth around the same time as Marguerite.
Yuna glared at Hammond again and coldly said, “Get to the point”
“My man is in the delivery room. Marguerite’s due to give birth in ten minutes. All soon as the baby’s born, he’ll take it”
Yuna gripped Hammond’s wrist, her eyes flashing with icy ferocity, “I want you to go up there yourself”
Hammond immediately pulled his hand away, “Are you trying to get me killed?”
Yuna’s eyes widened, the bloodshot orbs filled with menace, “Hammond, I’ve risked my life for you many times. Don’t think I don’t know that you’ve been eager to puth me aside ever since Frederick gave up his shares in the Winston Group. Since this is our last time working together you have to do it yourself That’s the only way I can trust you”
“You”
“If you don’t go, I’m sure Maurice will find out about our little scheme tomorrow”
Hammond looked at Yuna warily, regretting ever having partnered with her.
When he found Yuna, it was entirely Powell’s doing. Powell wanted to help Maurice topple Frederick and told him to use Yuna. Maurice was not aware of this
In the business world, schemes and intrigues are a dime a dozen. The tactics used are sneakier and nastier than the other. The fact that Maurice knew about them was no big deal. But Maurice had fallen in love with Marguerite! If Maurice found out that Marguerite’s grandmother had been killed by him and Yuna, with Maurice’s methods, his good days would be over.
He clenched his fists, wishing he could punch Yuna in the face, but he held back.
His angry gaze bore into Yuna, then he swung open the car door and headed for the maternity ward.
Half an hour later, with the birth of a baby boy Hammond, disguised as a doctor, carried the newborn out in full view of everyone
Marguerite, who had just given birth, was in so much pain she was almost unconscious. In her blurry state, she recognized the doctor’s back.
She had seen him somewhere.
A sense of danger rose in her heart. Marguerite shakily pointed at the doctor, her voice weak and hoarse, “My child where are you taking my child?”
The nurse swiftly reassured her, “Not to worry, he’s just taking the baby to the nursery for some post– birth checks – it’s standard procedure.”
“No, wait a minute!” insisted Marguerite because she felt something off. “My baby is perfectly fine, let me see him first! Please, stop hin
Marguerite tried to sit up, but the doctor pushed her back down, “Hold her down! There’s another baby coming, don’t move, youll suffocate the baby!”
Ten minutes later, the cry of a baby girl echoed in the room. As the intense sensation of tearing came, Marguerite fainted from the pain.
